Письмо 196
Machine translation from the original · Show original
I wrote to you recently, advising you about your soul, how much you can move against the passions, and force yourself to glorify God; and now I also advise: when you force yourself, you will find God’s help. If there were no retribution, there would be no such abuse; but we need, not for the sake of retribution, but for the sake of the fear of eternal torment, to force ourselves and express our heartfelt condolences; and accept the temptations sent with thanksgiving and endure them with humility. M. and I. made the journey - I am very happy about it. May the Lord establish her in the truth, destroy the charm of the enemy, and cover her from all his snares, with the prayers of the priest.
I wish you salvation, peace and health, and I remain poor I.M., your unworthy pilgrim, February 3rd.
