About fasting and almsgiving
him with his work , saying that he would pay him for his help . And he , a gentle man , went to help the one who asked him , and then he saw how the rich man lived and what he had into his house . And when he finished his work , he took his pay and went home and told what he saw at the rich man , and he went with the money and bought a better bed , more beautiful and softer , and replaced their bad from the house with it . When I saw the warmth of their heart for the good and new bed , I felt deprived of their love and I was shy , and I did not go to bed with them , because they had another joy . I stood by their new bed and they cuddled against each other and rejoiced , and they said that God helped them . And then he went again and worked and bought a bigger and more elegant table and put it into the midst of the house , and I drew Myself aside . Then they also brought tools and other things and their house was filled out , and I withdrew near the door . They asked Me saying : „ Lord , why do You not sit on the bed , on the chair , on the chest ? Why do You stand by the door ?” And I replied them that I did not have any place , and that is why I did not sit down . Their joy increased for what they had and gathered . They worked and did what they liked , and I went out aggrieved , and I had no more room as a family man into their marriage . They did not feel My pain , and they kept saying : „ Lord , we thank You because You helped us and You gave us so many things to have ”. I let them choose their love , and they chose the self-love . From then on , I had been so small into their hearts , smaller and smaller , and they used Me only for their first custom to thank the Lord for everything . This is how the man remains orphan of God . This is how the man remains alone in his spirit , getting his human courage up , losing the fear of God and the love of God , the most valued wealth among riches .
Oh , My people , how beautiful it was for the man that gathered together near his small table , on his knees around it . The man was like a bird , which lifts up its head after it swallows the water , thanking God . The man was bowing down with his body , kneeling down for each bite , thanking to the One Who gave it for living . The man kept his little dish on the nail , as a sign of respect for the holy thing , as the dish was a holy object , on which the man broke the bread and put the food from God . That man was not a primitive man , and he was a holy man , and he had God as wealth , and he was rich in grace and word . But no one has God today by grace any longer . There is no more room in the house of the man for God . That is why I brought you up , new Israel , and I taught you to turn back to Me and to take Me into your house and into your life , and to take Me into your garment to warm Me up , as I love you so much , you that have Me today . Seek , My people , to work what I worked , and not to work what the man works , as the man , you saw what I told you , does one thing for himself today , tomorrow he does another , and he forgets what he has to know and to do .

Behold , if you are close to a well , I come . Oh , how many of you wait for Me near the well ! I come sons ; I come to speak with you and to tell you how to speak with you , how to work for Me and into Me , as the Christian people starts now the time of the fasting for the celebration of the Lord ’ s Passover ; but even the human race knows this order . Do not wonder about those that I speak with you , Israel , as the Christian people is one nation , and the human race is another nation , and I do not have to clarify you this wisdom any more . But I speak to you distinctly , Israel , and I call you remnant , son , a remnant set aside by Me from the Christian people , as even the people who are called Christian do not fast any longer , son , not even according to the law . And here is what I tell you : may the beginning of the preparation of the Lord ’ s Passover be blessed , as I have nothing to distinguish for you concerning food , as you eat today as in the
