Thanks be to the Lord, we celebrated the holy feast of the Resurrection of Christ and spent it safely; Whoever the Lord grants to celebrate it until next year 1. Thank you for congratulating me on this holiday, and for all your good wishes for me. You write that those who spent the holy fast in deeds should celebrate this holiday with joy; and Saint John Chrysostom calls everyone, those who fasted and those who did not fast, sinners and righteous ones, to the sweetness of the feast of faith in our risen Savior. When you are aware of your poverty, you must involuntarily have a humble mindset, to which the Lord will look and arrange your salvation; Whenever you think that you are correcting your case as it should, you will be farther from the truth. I remain unworthy of your prayer book, the great sinner I.M. April 20, 1848.
