99. О состоянии здоровья Старца

M. St. O. n. G.I.H.B.n. p.n. Rejoice with all your hearts, Mother Abbess Lyudmila! I received your letter. Thanks be to God for His great mercies towards us sinners, which gives us weakness, that is, health for repentance and correction. I’ll tell you about myself - I, too, was given a certain reprieve of life for my repentance, otherwise on February 18 I completely died. Now, although [I feel better], I still feel difficult: the first week of St. Lent did not consume boiled food, except for tea, olives and bread. On Saturday, he received Holy Communion and dined on food with butter, from which in the evening he felt nauseated, and then there was severe vomiting all night - all his veins were stretched and he became very weak. And after that it had a strong harmful effect on the bladder, which now torments me for my countless sins. In view of this, I earnestly ask St. prayers of you and your St. monastery, mothers and sisters who know me. I prayerfully call upon you and all your spiritual children to St. abode of God's mercy, peace, health, and salvation, and God's blessing with sincere good wishes, I remain. Now I’m lying sick, I can’t see anyone. You might be interested in:
