Novice Anastasia!

May the Lord help you to humble yourself and bear sorrows, it is necessary. Pray yourself, and ask the Lord for this. May the Lord strengthen your health and help you in obedience. I send my blessing to your aunt Mother Maximilla. If she needs to go to the village for treatment, then let her go. You can do it with her. And if you are afraid to lag behind singing, it is better to rely on the will of God in this, as God wills. And maybe you'll get better too.

Peace be upon you and God's blessing.

I send my blessing to the maiden Anna. May the Lord help her in her labors. If he hopes that he will learn in this workshop, then let him stay in it. Let him pray to God and ask Him for help. The disease can be treated by a doctor.

Novice Anastasia!

In all sorrows, may the Lord grant you patience. May the Lord rest my aunt in the Kingdom of Heaven. One should not pity, but thank the Lord that He sent her such a good death. May the Lord strengthen your health. Nor do the sorrows that were made up from the kliros. If she is sick, then how can you sing, it is impossible and could be very harmful to health. If you get better, then they will put it again. Pray, be strong, but do not lose heart.

Peace be upon you and God's blessing.
