About fasting and almsgiving
You do not know that . This earth will get dry , and also the whole stalk of the plants and springs . Give up all your members ; give up , sons , although you are to suffer from this . My little children teach one another to know the signs of the end . Let the child in your arms know the signs of the end , and teach your children to know the days of fasting and do not let your neighbors hear your children crying for hunger . Let it be known by itself that today is a godly day and each one has to live spiritually . The days of fasting were not made now ; the world was not created now ; it is not now that the Monday was made ; it is not now that the Wednesday was made ; it is not now that the Friday was made .
… You do not serve Me if feasting or praying , but it is for you , son , for on the gate of heaven , not a bad hair will enter My kingdom .

… Do not be lazy , for laziness is the mother of hunger , both earthly and spiritually , and you will suffer through laziness . Do not postpone the prayer , the fasting and the alms giving , as you do not know what will be later . Put your life in order with good deeds . Let your day not pass without prayer , without alms giving and without good deeds . When fasting I remind you to fast as your forefathers did : eat little bread and water once a day in the evenings . And I also remind you about holy days and about Sundays : keep them and honor them as the apple of your eyes ; do not work and do not defile them with a sin . Excerpt from the Word of God , from
28-02-1975 .

… The people go to learn to be priests , but the life of a priest of today is not at the same level with that of the honor , which is written about . And do you know how it is ? It is not even as big as a lentil bean ; so little is it in comparison to the anointed priest . Sons , the priest with a holy honor and with a holy life , while he was preaching , his tears were running down on his chest , as on a little suckling child . When he addressed someone , his heart joined with the holy word . But today the priest gives absolution for you to eat in the fasting days , and do you know how comes this ? The priest gives absolution for fear of you , lest you may quarrel with him . And then , he absolves because it is written into the book : he , who gives absolution for something , let it be first worked out by itself . My people , I tell you to keep away from this thing . He also eats on Mondays , on Wednesdays , and on Fridays , until the resurrection comes . He also eats for sweet food and that is why he gives absolution . Oh , My little children , I ask you not to hate the priests , but I told you that there is no longer one to say this : „ Let your sins be forgiven ”.
