M. St. O. n. G.I.H.B.n. p.n. Your Reverence, Most Honorable Mother Abbess Lyudmila! I wish you God's mercy and spiritual salvation. I received your letter. I sincerely thank you for your congratulations on the Nativity of Christ and the New Year and for your zealous well wishes. I congratulate you on the New Year and the upcoming feast of Epiphany and I pray to the Lord that by His grace he will renew your mental and physical strength. I also received 15 rubles. and acted according to your instructions. May the Lord reward your zeal. A break from reasoning is necessary at times. There was no mistake in dismissing the sister from the monastery; this will benefit others. It's hard to force someone who doesn't want to obey. There is no need to be embarrassed that you have received the Holy Mysteries without fasting. It was an exceptional case, and, moreover, with the blessing of the priest. But one should not do this at home or at one’s own request, when the Church itself commands those preparing for communion to fast. To your cell: mm. I send a blessing to Paphnutia, Hilarion, Onesiphora and Mary and thank you for your congratulations. May the Lord preserve the monastery and those living in it in a peaceful dispensation. Asking for you peace and God's blessing, I remain with sincere goodwill. You might be interested in:
