one another, and no one knew about this mystery, which they were sharing with one another to be protected from sin by it. The saints were sitting down very low while the other people were getting up and in this way they got used to relieve themselves very ugly on the ground, on the ground that bears all sins and the man’s entire bad conduct with respect to the earth and heaven. There were among saints some who were not washing themselves all their life, only that they might not touch their body, only that they not might see themselves or knew that they were naked before the Lord, and they were fighting, poor of them, they were fighting against the devil, they were fighting against their body and devil, for the devil was fighting against them because they were My saints, My beloved ones, and because I was their Lover, their Master, frightening at view for My great glory, which so many saints wanted to see. Oh, how good they were! How good they were before God, before the invisible One! Oh, where is for Me, where do I see anymore this great care with man against the devil, which opposes the one who has sided with Me on earth?

 

Oh, how much I suffer when I see that in the dwellings of churches Pharisees perform the service at the altar! There are many establishments on earth, and all over people have built churches where they get together for God. I see with pain how old people, children and widows, that only they come near and commune, but the young ones do not do this, for they know the tradition and they are afraid of those drawn to the sin of the body, they are afraid to come near with their youth. However, I, the Lord, am asking: I am asking you, priest who serve at the altar with the cup into your hand: “Are you that what those who do not come to church are, because they have not got their lives set for the Lord’s holy things? And if you are also not set, then how comes that you go there?” Behold, your rulers ask you to marry before you have received the ministry of priest from the hand of your rulers, who are the same with you, and you see that do not come at the altar those who are not old, or children or widows, but you are there. Oh, what do you have to say when I ask you this? What have to say those who do not go at the altar because of their lack of preparation? (Unprepared for Holy Communion, r.n.) Behold, those who called themselves sinners and think that they are not worthy are holier than those who pose as worthy of the Lord’s holy things. And then, how are we to take this into account? Who is going to take this into account on earth between man and man so that it may be justice?

 

Oh, behold, man needs grace from the Lord to become holy, to keep living like that and to fight as the saints fought; they fought crying, and those who loved that way had grace. My saints have Simeon the Stylite at the feast in heaven, the one known in history as the first stylite who separated himself from the world going up, above it, and living his life in this way. With eagerness, the saints want to speak over the earth now by the voice of the celebrated one on this day among the saints. May the speaking of My saints be blessed by the one who speaks for the saints, for those in heaven. Amen.

 

— We are standing before You, Lord, we are standing before You as on earth, and we are standing before You with propriety in heaven as well, for we lived in fear on earth before You, Lord of glory. Your glory is frightening because it is great, Lord, and those who saw it were frightened and lived like that on earth before You and fought so that they might not shade Your glory between them and You, and they tried their hardest and did not separate from You, oh, Lord, not even because of their sins.

 

I was led by Your Spirit on earth to leave an example among people. I had sought the way of salvation since I was young man, because I did not love the world, oh, I did not love it, Lord, because this was what You wanted to do with me on earth. I did not know where to seek: I did not know how to please You more, up or down. I started to dig and humble myself digging down as a man, and You overshadowed me with Your grace in the time of my hard work and You advised me to dig up, to build what I had dug below and to work with the same effort. Then I went up, after I had built upwards as much as I dug downwards and I remained there with my life, and You overshadowed me and showed me to the people, and those in my time were thrilled when they saw how much I trampled myself down and exalted You in me, good Counselor, merciful Master of my humility. Oh, man has to work very much for his saving life, saving from the flesh and body, oh, Lord. Oh, man works very little for You so that You may give him salvation, too.

 

You made me an apostle upon people by my life built for You with hard work by my abstinence before You, Lord. Oh, how shall I advise holier the man to receive with much courage and with more fear of good God’s work and for God? You have built man for You and not for him, Lord. However, even from the beginning man has forsaken his destiny for You and has become a slave to the sin in him, stirred up in him by his disobedience to You, Maker of everything, everything that are visible and invisible.

 

I was the beginning of the holy stylites on earth before men, and I came to You and to the saints once with the beginning of the Christian and spiritual year, on the first day of the first month of the year. (1st September – the beginning of the church year[5], r.n.) I came as ripe fruit and You set me on Your table with the saints and now I see from heaven on earth together with Your saints, with all those who see together with You from heaven on earth everywhere. (See the selection topic: „The change of feasts - the denial of faith”, r.n.)

 

Oh, Your work of today is great, Lord, very great, and the saints are thrilled with its greatness in heaven and on earth. You are so gentle in Your closeness to man when You come and speak with Your voice of today. You are gentle, Lord, gentle concerning Your greatness, seen by Your saints. Oh, how great is Your glory in heaven and on earth, the glory which man would not be able to look at and resist from falling down under it! However, You are so gentle, so good and gentle, and You become so little, although You are so great, oh, Lord, and behold, You have come again on earth as word and speak with man as You spoke in paradise, and let Your word be heard, which man has to obey, Lord.

 

You, those who want to be with the Lord on earth, be careful to the Lord’s voice and under no circumstances are you to listen to your voice. Oh, do not do like the man in Paradise, who instead of obeying the Lord, he obeyed man, and by so doing men pulled one another from before the Lord and fell down on earth; moreover, it is much to be worked with your life to give it back to the Lord, from Whom you have it as a gift, and for which you owe the Lord. Oh, listen to the Lord’s voice! The Lord is coming as word on earth. He is coming for you. The Lord is coming to save you from darkness and from the dark sin. Let your bodies be holy temples, because the Lord needs rest in you. Struggle for the life in heaven in you and keep on fighting, because life and its price are expensive; the life the Lord has put in man is as expensive as eternity. Get up above the world and above the spirit of the world. It is possible by this will, as the world is only sin. Get comforted within your body with the tools of severity against the man’s enemy, and comfort your spirit by the Lord’s gentle breeze and with His dear gifts. And, in the end, comfort your souls, comfort the Lord in you, the One from Whom you have your life in your body. The man’s body fell from Paradise on earth seven thousand years ago, and on earth there is only war, only front of war against the man’s life from above; however, you, people, be born from above and then you will be from above and you will overcome in war against the enemy’s weapons, for the Lord overcame for you.

 

Oh, peace to You, Lord! Peace from us, Lord! Your saints go with You between heaven and earth. We are with You in the air, on the clouds of angels, and Your glory is great. My happiness is great now. Glory to You for it, and I am sharing it with my brothers, with Your saints in heaven now, and we all are singing glory to You! Amen.

 

— Oh, how beautiful! Oh, only if man separated himself from the earth with this beauty, with the Lord and His saints in a heavenly feast on earth. There is much to fight and it is beautiful in the battle, oh, My loved saints, but men do not know how this beauty is. Oh, men do not know about this beginning, about the end and again about the beginning.

 

I am only waiting after man. The time of My waiting is long. I want to be beautiful on earth as in heaven, and this beginning has to come out, because I long after it. Amen.

 

Peace to you, My people! On the second day of the feast of My cross, on Sunday day I have set into the book the word that was prepared in Me for this beginning, for the renewal of the year. Take care, son, to share over the earth this word of feast and teaching for salvation.

 

Oh, My people son, keep Me, son, keep Me close to your bosom, where I want to dwell, for people do not know about My pain and they do not know about My seven thousand years of wandering away because of the man who pulled Me out of him, and this void has remained in man and in Me, void which man has no way of filling it up but only with God, with the One Who built man so that the Lord may have His house on earth. Behold, I am without a house. (See the selection topic: „The true church”, r.n.) My enemies are in the house and I wander away outside. I want to take My house back and clean it and then I want to set My glory in it. I want to repair those the man has spoiled. My word repairs or spoils wherever man works, and man cannot stand against My spoken word. Amen.

 

My word is bringing Me down on earth to work by the word, as in the beginning. My glory is resting now, after I have put down My
