I received your letter, but in the second week of Lent I didn’t have time to write you an answer, so the third week is already coming to an end. I’ll tell you again that, in my opinion, you still need to wait and be patient while the providential power of God acts, ruining wrong advice and sweeping away the thoughts of ill-intentioned people; for the counsel of God alone endures forever. In order to receive God’s mercy and help in your situation, read Psalm 36 daily: “Do not be jealous of those who are evil; do not envy those who commit iniquity.” And it would be good to read this psalm according to the words of Saint David - evening, morning and noon. And two more psalms - “The Lord is enlightenment” and “Living in help.” If, in the name of the Holy Trinity, you regularly read these psalms three times daily with humility and zeal, surrendering yourself to the all-good Providence of God, then you will be led to obey the Lord and beg Him. It is also useful to read the psalm - “By enduring, I have endured the Lord and listened to me.” It is not in vain that the Holy Scripture says that through many sorrows we must enter the Kingdom of Heaven, for the sake of which we entered the monastery.
