About fasting and almsgiving
tasks is wasted life , over which the devil has power ; he has entrance , and behold , those to whom it was given to find the river of My word during these days have great responsibilities .
Oh , sons , oh , sons , I want to have a people on earth , too , and I also want to have the right , not only satan to have everything and everywhere through those who do his will , forgetting about the Lord , the Maker of the world . I want to have you as My people , but I want this if you also want to be like this every day , as the order for the holy ones is in My people . The holy ones do not look to see their body , or the body of the other ones . Therefore , the holy order is this , and other kind of order is for those who are immoral , and who do not want to wake up but only by whipping and sufferance , which clean the people from seeking after the fleshly pleasures .
Be modest among you and before Me and before My saints , sons . Do not forget that My eye is upon you , with which I have always measured your stature and obedience . I also have some other things to remind you and to teach you in order to be able to be the sons of the people of My word , which gives man birth from above , only that he may want to have the new birth .

Oh , you have into your midst some who love you for you and for your welfare with a beautiful future for you ; however , you also have some among you , who only suck you for their own self , who do not have a clean heart , and when some of these ascend to the places of authority , then you pass through sufferance , and this happens because you do not watch all the time for your peace , for your welfare from God , oh , and it is well to take after the God of justice , not after the man who asks you to believe in him for you , because one like that is not clean for your life , My country of today .
Oh , how well it is for one nation who has upon it the Lord as its God ! That people asks from the Lord ; it asks the Lord for its destiny and that nation is not overcome , and when it removes the Lord from the helm of its life , then it chooses sufferance , and in the time of sufferance it cries out to Me to lift it up to victory , oh , and that is what I am asking now from you , Romanian people : call out to Me , for you go through sufferance , son ! Oh , call out to Me and get up with Me at the work for the spirit of righteousness and peace into your midst !
Oh , you need patience in sufferance , you need wisdom and prayer , repentance , and you also need the work to get out from trouble , and then you need comfort , too , and I , the Lord your God give you the word of comfort and of the holy watch and I am telling you now : get up and ask Me to give you the wisdom from above and you have to use it , Romanian people .
Oh , stop the pain that I have from you , Romanian people , Christian people ! It is written through the saints and fathers the time of the Lent now , oh , and I suffer from you and there is no one to exhort you to the holy wakening so that you may no longer sin , so that you may not gluttonize of those who are forbidden for the time of the Lent , and the devil and its servants swarm everywhere with their powers upon people , and this invisible war cannot be stopped but only with fast and prayer , these two which are the most invincible weapons in any kind of war , visible or invisible , and you bear the name of Orthodox country , oh , and you do not have merciful shepherds upon you to exhort you and not to let you go wrong against God . However , I have into your midst a tiny flock that serves Me and you in secret and that
