ВРАГ

You need to feel sorry for every evil person, and not be angry with him and not please Satan, just look at every enemy as a creation of God, as created in the image of God and as your member and not breathe malice at him, that is, not be a devil, for a person who is angry is the devil at the time when he is angry. One must always be meek, kind, kind, patient, as if not noticing malice in others; one must overcome with good things - affection, with charity - evil or evil people. God forbid from evil suspicion, in which everything about one’s neighbor is turned for the worse: movement, gesture, glance, voice, step, every word (7). Try to do everything opposite to what the disembodied enemy wants. He encourages you to pride, to self-praise and condemnation of your brother - you humble yourself to the ground and ashes and condemn yourself as harshly as possible, and praise your brother in your heart. If your brother, due to the action of the enemy, treats him proudly and viciously, you treat him humbly and with love. If the enemy encourages you to be stingy, be generous with goodwill. Do this in all such cases, and you will earn the great grace of God and you will see it with your own heart eyes. You don’t have the inner strength to do this, the enemy is strong, you say: ask the Almighty in prayer at all times and at every hour, and He will help you (7). Do everything opposite to what the enemy inspires: he inspires to hate those who offend us - you love them, bless those who scold and do not torture those who take what is yours, and give willingly yourself; when you want to laugh - cry; when you find despondency - try to have fun; when there is envy - rejoice in the well-being of others; when you fight contradiction, disobedience - immediately submit, agree, when lustful thoughts - be jealous of the purity of your heart, imagine the high dignity of a Christian, deified in Christ Jesus, that our members are members of Christ, when there is pride - humble yourself, when there is anger - be especially kind, when there is irritability - remain calm, when stinginess - be generous, when absent-mindedness - immediately lock your feelings from everything external and think about the only thing that is needed, when doubt, lack of faith, unbelief - call on help especially strong faith, remember examples of faith or believers in the Old and New Testaments and miracles performed by faith, etc. Do this and do not give in to the enemy, the dreamer, for all passions, addictions, whims are his dream (8).
