The change of feasts - the denial ( apostasy ) of faith
and the seasons of the year , and the whole nature listens to those set in heaven , as for times , for birds and animals the heaven is not far , but close ; it is with the earth and not otherwise , sons , and I have you within My love to help you to stay in My will and not to take after the lie of the men ’ s sons , who do no longer need the truth , or God , or the things from above on earth with men , but people only pretend that they take after God ’ s will over them , and that is all .

Behold what I am telling you : There are Christians in Romania who keep in their place in the calendar the celebrations of the saints as they are held in the other Orthodox countries : in Russia , in Moldova , in the Mount of Athos , or in Jerusalem . And I am not saying this for any other reason than that , when the days of feasts of the saints come at their right order , all the Christians who have respected the new order ( The new style , according to the Gregorian calendar instead of Julian calendar , r . n .), after the shaking of the feasts of the saints of the church , do all kinds of works that are not supposed to be done in the days of the feasts of the saints celebrated by the church , and the Christians wash , hoe the weeds out , sew their clothes , make hay , build , and these works are not supposed to be done in the days of the feasts . And that is why I , the Lord , bow and cry with those in heaven and teach My church the things from above and require obedience from the Christians , and I ask each one of them to do in such a way and take into good consideration , like their grandfathers , the days of the saints and to call them with prayer and honor , for woe to those who do not have saints to help them and to stand watch for them on earth !
Oh , one should not sew , wash the clothes , hoe , cut the wood or build houses , and he should not do any other earthly works in the days of watching of the protecting saints , of the saints of the church , sons , oh , and especially in the days of Sunday , the day of the Lord ’ s resurrection .
Oh , be very attentive to these holy exhortations left upon you from God ’ s mouth , and do not lament to each other and then before God over the fact that you do not have food if you do not work in these kinds of days . I , the Lord , am telling you that you are not right , because you do not eat as much as you work , for a man does not need so much food . Oh , do not seek to lament as some unjustified people , for when the holy laws were established in order to be observed , God knew that it would be good so , and they protect you from all the evil things in your life by their observance , and nothing else can protect you from evil and from all kinds of sufferance , for behold , because of so many sins , the evil spirit brings you the due payment , telling to God that the Christian man does his will and not God ’ s .
… I have in Romanian a small people , a little handful of hearts , who listen to Me and walk in the holy laws , left by the saints and fathers of the church from the beginning , and these walk in the spirit of the Holy Scriptures with their lives and bring prayers for them before Me , for the Romanian people and for all the nations on earth , so that the Lord may give heavenly wisdom over the great and small , and to be the love of God on earth in the people , and then faith , salvation and peace , that is God ’ s kingdom with the people on earth as in heaven .
And to you , those who shepherd in My name the flock of the Orthodoxy , I am giving you exhortation and I am teaching you with love and mercy : do not join with those who spoil
