32. 1390–1405 г. Его же ответы игумену АФанасию

They were published according to an incomplete list in Historical Acts, vol. I, No. 253. Here they are published entirely according to a 16th-century manuscript belonging to Moskov. Spirits. Academy, No. 491, l. 1–20; discrepancies between the printed text and another academic manuscript are indicated below the line - No. 530, l. 422 et seq. Cyprian, the humble Metropolitan of Kiev [and] All Russia, answer to Athanasius, who asked about some necessary things You asked our mortals, your beloved son about Christ, about your salvation and abiding, or how to strive in the cell, and how to teach the brethren and lead them to the saved path, or how to ask the monks and laity who came to benefit for the benefit. But we will write about you and about your monastery and about your brothers later, since now the time is not due 1348; [but] regarding your last questions and the lady’s answers to you, my beloved son. How can one bury a priest 1349 a layman? you ask. The lay priest should be buried in sieve: having washed him in a new casing, and in his retinue as well, in the same surplice and petrachilum and phelonion, covering his face and head with a veil, and thus singing over him and placing him in the coffin, mixing a little wine with wood oil, the priest pours it crosswise from the head, first, to the foot, then from the gum, to the same left side: the cup containing oil and wine will be thrown down at the foot; Having placed the same board, they fall asleep like any dead man. And the monk 1350 priest to rule, like any other monk; Even if it happens because of sin, and the monk is not able to be tonsured into the schema, but dies, or is a priest or a deacon, or a simple monk, it is not suitable to put the schema on a dead person. It is not appropriate to wash every black man who has died, to expose 1351 his body below, but to reach the warm waters, and then wipe his face with a sea lip or a clean dress, including his chest, then both his hands, then his knees, and also his legs, and put on a clean sap and then wrap it in a mantle, as it is prescribed to eat: also sing over him; When they put him in the coffin, then they pour 1352 wine and oil over it in a cross shape, just as in the previous tale. We accept the monk to repentance, just like a layman: we sing him to the church in private (unless a church arrives, otherwise in an organized and clean place), and according to custom he begins, and the usual troparions are chanted and “Have mercy on me, God,” and then he interrogates the repentant with great diligence and attention and with the fear of God and with tenderness, offering God’s love for mankind, and Thus, after testing every matter, he gives penance according to age, and the disposition of each, and according to reason, and foolishness: otherwise 1353 for a young man reasons, otherwise he who has come to age, otherwise sinned in old age, otherwise meaningful, otherwise senseless, otherwise sinning by self-will, otherwise he sinned involuntarily, otherwise he was a slave, otherwise he was free, otherwise the prohibitions were free, but otherwise involuntary: everything is worthy of being tested and reasoned by the spiritual father. But the tests and prohibitions for priests and deacons are different: the torment of these is great. Chernets Velmi need and require diligence; the monk bo 1354 must be an angel of God. If, due to demonic envy, there is nowhere for someone to fall, there is a great need for reasoning: there is a sin in deed and word, and in thought, and about these the Holy Fathers have betrayed everyone, written 1355, and again it is unwritten, and thus the need for reasoning for everyone is great: otherwise, it is necessary to give penance to those who are zealous, otherwise but 1356 lazy and weak, lest we lead them into despair 1357. It is not only 1358 that this evil deed is discussed about manual fornication: otherwise, the only one who suffered was demonic envy, as well as gluttony and drunkenness, according to what is written: “Do not get drunk with wine, for in it there is no salvation.” There is also this passion from the hedgehog 1359 without fear and without restraint to see with one’s own eyes; neither is it worthy for a monk to see with his own eyes; but even if a monk is sent by the abbot to serve, in a city or in a certain place, it is not worthy for him to see with his own eyes, the faces of some are looking below, which can hurt him, below to listen to inappropriate conversations, but to turn all his thoughts to God, and to have that overseer for himself, according to what is written: “I have seen the Lord before me, as if he is on my right hand, but he cannot move.” From looking at oneself and on oneself, and from listening with attention to voices unlike the worldly ones, and from looking at the faces of women with delusion and describing them in the heart and in one’s thoughts, thoughts of defilement are born in the heart of a monk: from this, inattentive monks also fall. Even if someone escapes the fall of the body, the mind and the strength of the heart will be defiled, according to the Lord’s word: “If you have all your eyes on your wife, whatever she desires, then commit adultery with her in your heart.” For the evil root is worthy of being cut off, and sinful branches will come forth; overeating and drinking too much, and this is a lot, is worthy of avoiding for a true monk who does not want to fall into bad thoughts: because bad thoughts cause falls, sometimes someone does not confess his thoughts to his mentor. And in a dream, the indulgence of many for the sake of wine happens: 1) to judge a sincere person, that is, one’s brother, who is a sinner; 2) from arrogance and pride, and that too; 3) from overeating and drinking, also decently; 4) from nature - sinless, otherwise it is called defilement; 5) from physical weakness and certain illnesses; 6) from envy, demonic: this is therefore shared by the prudent Holy Fathers. If you condemn your brother for any sin, stop condemning and repent with confession. And to stand up in some corrections and to rise with pride is evil, for the sake of arrogance and the devil of arrogance for the sake of the fall of the glory of God. Also, for a monk to overeat and get drunk and sleep beyond measure brings great shame. And by nature, or again because of bodily weakness, often because of demonic envy, they are sinless, but the Holy Fathers have indicated the rule and laid it down: whenever this happens, get up at that hour and with tenderness fall to God, praying, and fulfill the established rule about this, and come to your mentor, and fall with tenderness, blessing and forgiveness asking for experienced temptation and temptation; and on the same day neither kiss your cross, nor enter the altar, nor kiss the holy icons, nor burn incense, nor take the bread, nor 1361 until the following night, but wash your asshole. If there were a priest, he would have no use for the priestly activities of those days, and he would have no use touching anything sacred. There are also nightly ghosts and filth in foreign workshops, sometimes they disobey their mentor and do not confess their bad thoughts to their father. Even if the priest is a monk, or a lay priest, it is not suitable for him to serve those days, even if he sleeps afterwards. The rule for the monks to receive communion is worthy of being: with great attention and fear of God, no thought should be left in your heart, no anger should be held against anyone, no confusion should be entertained in your thoughts; but he was completely cleansed in soul and body and governed the rule set for himself, with all attention, and thus proceeded to the holy mysteries. This same rule also applies to Orthodox laity. The priest and the layman deserve the same rule to be a priest; The monks, as well as the laity, husbands and wives, have the same rule for Holy Communion, as before: prescribed troparia and prayers. The child must be kept from eating and drinking until he receives holy communion, lest it lead to death. Let us repose to sing over the baby. If a layman dies, the spiritual father will read a prayer over him, or else it will be useful in some way, and then put him on the throne. The Armenian heresy is more vile than all heresies; For this reason, it is not worthy for an Orthodox Christian to have any communication with them, lower on holidays, or again on fast days, to allow them to come to him, lower to the church, and it is also lower to have any friendship with them, nor to form love with them 1362, even in the rules he writes: “as if a bishop, or a presbyter, or a deacon, or whoever is in charge of the sacred clergy, prays inside the church, or outside the church, with let him be cast out as a heretic, as with a faithful one; If there is a worldly person, let him go away.” 1363 For this reason, no Christian man is worthy to communicate with a heretic: what kind of communication is there between light and darkness, or between an infidel and the faithful? but they deserve to be turned away, because, ashamed, they will leave the Orthodox cohabitation, or again, having realized their flattery or their own deception, 1364 and come with confession to the true Orthodox Church of Christ, to his chosen flock. If a person dies without a spiritual father, sing over him, also read a prayer over him, and leave the rest to God’s love for mankind. And if he has anything useful, give his alms to his heart’s content. Regarding those who have an evil spirit, it is not appropriate to give the sacrament to them, as the holy rules indicate to us; If someone has not been baptized and is possessed by such a disease, do not accept him for holy baptism, until the disease ceases from him, the same applies to holy communion. 1366 The essence is that those who suffer from such illness on a new month, others twice a month; and for this reason, it is weak to give the holy and life-giving body of the Lord to such people: they are unclean, possessed by an unclean spirit, a sin for the sake of certain people. About Trezhenians, the sitsa should do the following: if either a husband or a wife wants to marry a third, they will be tortured, and even if someone from them is young, or cannot restrain their fleshly weakness, or had no children from previous 1367 marriages, and for this reason wants to marry a third, they deserve to be allowed to do so, for their youth, as if not he will perish through fornication and impurity; but it is worthy to give them the first prohibition - three years without communion, for the third marriage coming, and command him to join the marriage; If he pleases and can give alms, reduce them in the summer. And those who preceded us in the third marriage 1369 have joined in intercourse and have joined children, and live in non-marriage, we hereby command them to get married, and not to corrupt their lives through fornication, or to raise a three-year prohibition, or a two-year prohibition. If they don’t want to get married, they won’t be honored with the blessing of 1370; they won’t accept a prosphora or a candle in church until they get married, or they’ll be separated. If someone is approaching old age and wants to indulge in a third marriage, especially physical defilement, the holy scriptures and rules do not allow this, below we will introduce such defilement 1371 into Christian custom, as if he wants to do this not for the sake of childbearing, but for the sake of youth, but for the sake of weakness and the incontinence of carnal lust. On the Beheading of John the Baptist and the Baptist there is no meat, no milk, no fish, no matter what day it happens 1372; also on the Exaltation of the Honest Cross, on that very day. You ask about the day of Saint Paraskovgea: and be aware that there is no fasting on that day, except Wednesday and Friday. Having drunk water from the cross, it is suitable for a layman to eat meat, but for monks it is milk; Every time and every time we receive Holy Communion, on that day the pits are all left unfilled, even more so when we always drink water from the cross. Sometimes the Liturgy will be sung, the brethren will sing the hours in the narthex, and the Apostle and the Gospel will be read there, and if there is no narthex, then in the middle of the church. And without mass, the hours are sung, then the apostle reads in the middle of the church, and the gospel is on the holy throne. In a monastery, male or female, it is in no way suitable for worldly activities to remember worldly affairs. “Even if I say something that ruins me, I create it again, I create a criminal for myself, and he will turn 1373 like a dog to his vomit.” If someone has renounced the world, father and mother, and brothers and sisters, 1374 and wife and children, and all worldly care, even in monasteries he will work and mature, what is the benefit of his departure from the world? And for this reason, it is not worthy to perform weddings in the monastery, to disgrace them below, or to create wives of entry to please the brothers; It is not worthy for an abbot or a monk to crown a priest: worldly priests are that business, not a monk’s; Perhaps, if the need is great, baptize a child. It is not forbidden to eat children on the river in the summer. And even if many people baptize one child, there is a Latin duty; but the priest honors prayers, but the father of the godfather makes denials and receives holy baptism as a child; For this reason, not many are worthy of being a godfather, less than godfather and 1375 godfather, as there is in our land, but only one is worthy of being baptized and being named godfather, or husband or wife. 1376 And if two or three children 1377 are to be baptized in a single font, 1378, either male or female, this has already been written anywhere, but I accept the testimony of John’s baptism, never to baptize him in Jordan, as many peoples were baptized, passing, from him; In the same way, under the Apostles, the beyahu was done, as he writes in the Acts, as if not two or three beyahu were baptized in a single font, but many in one. Now it is not for us 1379 that we baptize in one font two or three, or more, in one day; It is precisely the prayers that are forbidden for him to read and negations to be made. If it is the female sex, let the calico rule hold: if the young 1380 have velmi little, and that is both male and female, and there is no vow in a single font, but first baptize males, then females, for the deanery 1381 give the male sex a majority; If they have matured in age, it is not worthy for the female sex to be baptized in the same place as the male sex, but in a designated place, below the husband there to stand, but for the wives serving their nature, for the sake of appearance. To perform holy baptism, do not pour water over it, as the Latins do, but immerse it in a river or a clean vessel placed on it, and say for each immersion the same name of the holy and life-giving Trinity: “in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit”; Don’t do this, he’s doing baptism wrong. It is worthy to give communion to the newly baptized person on that day 1382. The church deserves to be taxed: if there is a monk priest, he will put the epitrachelion on himself, and receive the censer in his hand, and thus give a prayer, and tax the church; If a layman is a priest, he puts on all priestly clothing on himself. There is no sacred chapel; it is written about it below in the charter, it is legislated below. 1383 It is not suitable for a schema monk to shear into the schema, except if need arises, illness and the schema monk will not end up as a priest: then, dividing the needs, he will shear. There is only one tonsure for monks and monks, but only when the tonsured woman reads the prayer and comes, where the names of the saints and reverend Fathers are written, then he changes the names to 1384 reverend holy wives. If a person is dying, and his tongue is taken away from him, it is not appropriate to cut his hair: a dead sheep cannot be sacrificed. It is not suitable to tonsure two people with a single tonsure. He tonsured the monks, from that very hour 1385 kiss the gospel and dora 1386 and have the bread of the Theotokos, and also have the holy communion, if not some thing forbids, withholding the spiritual father; He won’t unbelt his belt until that day, and he won’t take off his robe, and he won’t take off his hood for the Gospel, even if the man is conformed; If you are young, he said, do not take off either to Dora or to the Gospel, until you grow up. Chernetsy should not receive communion from a lay priest, except in great need; If he is at the point of death, but the priest is not there, then the lay priest will repent of him and give him communion. It is appropriate for the monks to receive the sacrament from a lay priest, but not to be with him in repentance, but to keep an old man of many years as his confessor. 1387 It is not appropriate for a layman to have his priest cut into black hair: if he doesn’t have it himself, how can he give it to someone else? The deacon should not screw things up: the servant is an ass, and not an equal. 1388 A dog, even if it has sinned, will jump into the church, bless it with water, the August 1389 Blessing, and sprinkle the church, and then serve; If Sepopov’s carelessness is committed, it’s good to show off the priest, as if he’s delusional about the church. It is not right for many priests to sing a requiem without a deacon, but for one priest; If there is a deacon, then many priests will sing, and the deacon will begin, as with every church rule. On the week of repose, do not sing a funeral service; on Saturday evening, sing a memorial service; it is not forbidden to eat at the proskomedia during the week, as well as in secret prayers. As for the coming Great Lent, if it happens that someone from us passes away from this life in the middle of the week, singing over him, he is consigned to the coffin, and there is no government, below the requiem mass should be done, perhaps on Friday evening, and on Saturday the remembrance; the same on all Fridays of Lent, except for the fifth and sixth Saturdays. If a storm breaks the cross from the church, it’s time to erect it. Even though 1391, in addition to wine, the Divine Liturgy is served, this iniquity is great: “For our Lord Jesus Christ said, “Receive the cup from the fruit of the vine, and having blessed and sanctified it, He will give to His holy disciples and Apostles, saying: “Drink from it, all of you.” For this reason, if there is nothing else to serve except wine, the opponent is the Lord’s instructions: for blood and water flowed from the ribs of the Lord; For this reason, we, pouring in wine and water, serve. Prosphoras, crosses, or doras, make no difference in this; Even if there are crosses on the door, the prosphora deserves to be there, for the sake of the lamb. In the most sacred service, when arranging the vessels, he does not say anything, but after covering and pooping, he performs the service. The fasting lamb, even if it remains, then 1392 protects it again, sometimes it wants to be given in that church or in another 1393, there is no promise in that. On Maundy Thursday, take out the lamb from the trap, and then store it for a long time. The holy meal should be washed on Maundy Thursday, in the cathedral churches of the saint 1394, and the smaller children are unable to do this. And in the pre-sacred service of 1395 the monks and laity received communion. After Easter, from St. Thomas's week, for the repose of the dead, you will rule every day; and in a week for the repose of the remembrance of honor does not lie. But a sexton who is in marriage and in marriage does not deserve to be, nor is a prosphora maker: “Marriage is honorable and the bed is undefiled,” says the divine scripture, and for this reason, and virginal as such, if it is powerful, to be, or to one who has joined the first legal marriage, before that 1396 there is no defilement for the victim. But if spiritual children leave their spiritual father without guilt and go to someone else, it is not appropriate to accept them without a blessing. In the village, or wherever it was, if there were no dates, then you could get a sea bay. Arranging the sacred vessels 1397 on the pre-sanctified ones, there is nothing to say, but only to pray in the mind 1398 to oneself. Whenever you sing a prayer service, “God is the Lord” deserves to be sung, and at a funeral service, “Hallelujah.” The Gospel is read in church, but at the meal they honor the Patericon, and St. Ephraim, and St. Dorotheus, and for the holiday, St. Nicholas will be left with the festive reading, and they will not have time to read it at Matins, and they will read at the meal, as well as the Hexaday of St. Basil, and the Holy Father John Chrysostom. In the cell, they bow in retinue and in a small hood, and without a hood, even if the days are Varna; there is no time to say the Psalter in the cell, and not to abandon the songs of Moses, and also to everyone in order. Regarding the young monks and newcomers, who are still unable to fast and abstain, reasoning 1399 is necessary, since those who are oppressed 1400 will begin to steal and eat without blessing, and because of this they will fall into various passions: it is better to judge, to command such, with blessing, to eat, and little by little and then they themselves will stare, like the other brethren; Have the same reasoning about the old and the sick: the law does not apply to the old and sick. And in the service of those existing in monasteries 1401, or outside the monastery, there is no rule laid down, but only to observe and serve the service ordered to them by the abbot, like Christ himself; the rule about singing, or about bowing 1402, or is, as the abbot establishes, for each according to his strength. About holy communion you ask: during Great Lents 1403, or during other fasts, should we always give them communion, or not? And be aware that if anyone is young or old, his life is pure and he lives in true obedience, and he fulfills his rule to the best of his ability, and he confesses his thoughts purely, he does not forbid anything from receiving communion often: for he is worthy, even if he is; and those who are not like that, but are possessed by some laziness, or disobedience, or disobedience, or some other passion, the abbot controls him, as if he himself will judge, and whether to give the sacrament, or not to give, is against their order. Since then, the priests of the laity give prayers to the 1404 worldly people for the Resurrection and for the Nativity of Christ, and for Peter’s Day, for this reason you ask: was it appropriate for the monks to say the same prayer? And I answer this, that 1405 the laity are obliged by the care of this world, and when it comes to coming to the church, when it does not comprehend, they also do not have the rules about food and drink, and there are many other things that only those possessed by the world know 1406; For this reason, prayer, for the sake of sanctification, is given to them; The monks do not need worldly prayers, since they are always in church in the rules of the day and night: when will there be time for them to receive communion, they have read the prayers prescribed for the holy communion for themselves, 1407 and 1408, and thus proceed to the holy communion. When it becomes necessary to cut a monk's hair and give him a name, it is not established in this law whether you should name him either the days of that saint, or again with a worldly name, but as the abbot wills and commands. Those who leave the monastery 1409 without a blessing are not worthy for another abbot to receive, since the monastic deanery in that place is dishonored and the rules are destroyed; For this reason, and I forbid such outrage to occur, even if, and even to this day, such outrage occurs quickly: for what comes from the monastery in secret, except for blessings, how is it worthy of such priesthood or communion of Christ the God of the mysteries? 1410 What if, due to some blessed fault, a brother 1411 should leave the monastery, but with the blessing of the abbot and with all the brothers, he will go to another monastery, where his abbot will bless him, with a letter of release 1412, to another abbot; and those who do not do this under prohibition are the essence. You ask about alms, is it appropriate for a monk or abbot to give alms? For the monk, who exists in obedience and has no will over himself, how is it fitting for him to give alms? It is appropriate for the abbot to create as much as he can, and there is a reward for many from this - both the abbot himself and all the brethren, since the monastic acquisitions and estates are common to the abbot and all the brethren; From this there is no small reward for those who give kindly to monasteries. 1413 The schema-monk always wears a schema and a doll, and never wears anything other than these. And even if villages and people are kept as monks, it is not ordained by the Holy Fathers: how powerful is it for one who has renounced the world to be bound by worldly affairs, and even to destroy, and then to be built up, according to the Apostle, to create a criminal for himself? 1414 And the ancient Fathers lived below the villages, below wealth and acquisitions, like Saint Pachomius, and Saint Theodosius the hostel, and Saint Gerasim, and many other saints in Palestine and in that very Mount Sinai, and in Raifa, and in the Holy Mountain, which I myself saw; Now 1415 after, little by little, the thing came into relaxation: those monasteries and monasteries 1416 began to hold villages and acquisitions. There must be great observance and fear to keep. You are asking me about the village, about which the prince gave it to the monastery to eat, how or what should I do? Hear the answer from me and accept my advice: if you trust in God with your brothers, and even until now God has nourished you, even in the villages, and in advance he nourishes you, so that you undertake to take care of the world, and if you ever remember God and serve the same 1417 only one, then remember the villages and the cares of the world? Look 1418 and so, as if the monk, besides all worldly care, is then at peace with everyone and all people love and honor him; Whenever he becomes obligated to villages and worldly cares, then there is a need to go to princes and rulers, and to seek judgment 1419, and to stand for the offended: and to fight, and to be measured 1420 and not at least to 1421 every person, so as not to betray his people for offense, and to raise great labor, and to abandon his rules. And the worst thing about this is that the monks will suddenly begin to own villages 1422, and judge husbands and wives, and make frequent visits to them, and they will grieve: how are the essence of a layman different? The monks and their wives got drunk 1423 and had conversations with them, eating poorly. But if it were possible for a village under a monastery to exist, there would never be a monk in it, but a layman would be ordered to fear God, and he would be sad about all sorts of things; I would bring ready-made food and other needs to the monastery: it would be too bad for the monks to own villages and do frequent work there. You ask: how are the Gospels of Holy Thursday revered and where? And be aware of this, for on the holy throne all the Gospels are revered, from the first to the last, but the priest is clothed in all his vestments. You asked me about evening and morning prayers: how many of them are there? And at Vespers there are 6 prayers, and the seventh is a day off, and the eighth is after Vespers and after the proclamation; and at Matins there are 1424 11 prayers and the 12th prayer, after “Praise the Lord from heaven,” at bowing. Behold, at your request, beloved son of the Holy Spirit, Athanasius, you have asked that you be written to accept from our humility. 1425 And since we find ourselves in many ecclesiastical and worldly concerns, for this reason we are late, but now we can hardly hasten to provide instructions and answers to your questions. Elika 1426 because we have read the divine scriptures, and Elika 1427 from our teachers we have reached to accept, and this is useful for you, and for everyone who reads it with diligence and attention, as the Great Basil points out: “For the good, he said, be a student 1428 listener, and with those teachings keep your heart, guard your ears from worldly news, lest you defile your soul by sprinkling filth; Be a listener to the good stories, and be sanctified by the evil ones.” Yes, as you desire from my hand to be clothed in a great angelic image, which is the schema, and behold, according to your faith; and when you yourself want and have time, we will do this. About the rule of the monastery and the brethren, when we have time, and little by little, according to our strength, we will create. But because you stand far away from us and are unable to ask mouth to mouth about your own benefit and that of your brethren, write the same, whatever comes to mind, and we will create answers based on your questions. But, because of your great strength, be diligent about your brothers, especially about the newcomers and the young: there is a great need 1429 for you to take care of them, for the demonic envy of the wretched monks will always be present, even though the rank of the angels has fallen 1430 1431 with pride and in darkness, and 1432 that place of the monks 1433 wants to come true. For this reason they do not tolerate demons and inflict all sorts of dirty tricks on the monastic rite; now is the last time 1435 and in the summer the end will come, and the end of this age; The demon Velmi roars, although he swallows everyone, due to our negligence and laziness. Because virtue, eternal love, and spiritual simplicity have become scarce, envy and deceit and hatred have taken root, and we have become filled with cunning and arrogance. For this reason, let us strive 1436 for every spiritual gift, as the great Apostle testifies, saying: “Where there is strife and zeal and envy in you, are you not of a carnal nature and walking in the flesh?” And again: “flesh and blood will not inherit the kingdom of God.” Great delight will hold us back, leaving the right path and the teachings of the Holy Fathers, and walking 1437 according to our own wills, deluded and 1438 immersed in worldly rumors: “for there is a poverty, according to the Prophet, who is righteous from the earth, and there is no one who can correct among men.” Woe to us for abandoning the right path! We want to possess everything, we are all trying to be teachers, we have not yet achieved apprenticeship: we are newbies, but we have many years of possession, although we are over seven 1439 highly intelligent. It makes me cry and shed tears, but moreover I weep and grieve for the lies that live in people: below fearing God, below man is ashamed, we weave false words against our neighbor through envy, driven by the demon, as Saint Maximus writes, saying: “It is hardly possible to compose the envious sorrow with labor 1440; For what is enviable in you is imagining its own misfortune.” Envy is a severe spiritual illness: many murders have been committed by envy in the world and many countries have been desolate; Cain is moved by envy, committing fratricide, and hence murder in the world below; Out of envy, Jacob ran away from home and devoted himself to work in Lava 1441, where he served for 14 years; Joseph's brothers, driven by envy, sell 1442 him to Egypt, where the Lord will glorify him and make him a king for all Egypt. And why did we talk a lot? The Lord Himself, the Creator of heaven and earth, crucified him with the envy of the Jews. The passion of evil is envy, and even if someone is possessed by such a passion, there is no salvation for him unless he strives to change such an evil illness; Because a murderer is judged as such, just as the Lord’s brother the Apostle James says: “You kill and envy, cook and fight: will you live on the earth alone?” For this reason, we strive for passions other than being; instead of that, we acquire brotherly love and compassion, having peace in our soul 1443, just as we were taught by the Apostle: “Peace, saying, drive away with everyone the holy thing, which 1444 except no one will see God.” There is no other way to be saved, even if one wears out one’s body through great labors, except for pure love, just as the great teacher says: “If I give my body to be burned, 1445 I am not an imam of love, but I would be like a ringing brass, or a ringing cymbal.” Whoever has achieved the virtue of love, has reached God himself and rested in him. This virtue is easily acquired by those who work for it 1446 to acquire it; If it is not conveniently achievable, it is again possessed by envy 1447: fierce roots are fierce branches. Monastic life has one image - spiritual salvation. But you, beloved, try, as much as you have strength, in humility and love, and not to become intertwined with worldly things, nor with worldly communication and much talking; For now, the world is a harlot, as Saint Maximus says, and not only does it keep its lovers and zealots within itself, but it also wants to attract those who broke its single bond 1448 and escaped that snare and defile it with all sorts of passions.
