About the carved image ( icon ) and the sign of the cross
Oh , My people , My loved child , I know that you do not deserve , but I do deserve to have a people given by Father . The archangels will come in the sky to you , as you are the Samaritan who took into your house the Man fallen among robbers , both then and now . When I come to you , let Me find your sons , Israel , to have someone to speak with , who to rejoice with , as I suffer from My longing for you , My people . I come and interpret the Scriptures for you , son Israel , and you should open for Me . Archangels will come in the clouds to you with the feast of today , as today the heaven celebrates above the manger of My word and the choir of the little angels sing the hymn of the sign of the Holy Cross , which appeared on the sky from the midst of this holy establishment on the earth . Today it begins the feast of the cross , sons , and the feast of the archangels will complete the feast of today . It is the day when the cross of the Holy of Holies was raised above it , on its height , and at dawn the cross was seen on the sky , and it got out above the spring of My word , which was running into My mystery with you , My little Israel , as I became a river of life which flows from God ’ s throne . Behold , neither the Levites , nor the priests received Me , but you received Me and took care of Me for My coming , and My Father has His reward for you , the one who took care of the Man fallen among robbers , among the unbelievers , the Man Who took the healing of the people upon Him , the Man Who comes down from Jerusalem to Jericho , from heaven to earth , the new Man on the earth , Israel . You should be My neighbor , loved Israel . Son , you should be for Me the house for the guests that receives Me in it , the house with oil and wine for My healing and for My strengthening in you , Israel , My warm house , the house of My mercy , Israel , son of a Samaritan .

Oh , how good it is , Israel , son , how good it is for the Lord to speak upon your healthy mind , to the glory of His word ! How bad it is under the heaven for the Lord to speak upon your sick stature , son , to the sufferance of God ’ s word , Who struggles with a word of life over the death from the man . Oh , I have mercy on the one who plays with death ; I have mercy on the one with a human mind , Israel , and that is why I made you light from Me , to heal the hypocrisy in the man . What is hypocrisy , son ? The worldly man does evil openly and is clean in his heart , but the Pharisee , who calls himself God ’ s man , does evil on the sly , for if he does it openly , he will lose his garment that he covers with , and that is why I told you , Israel : „ Beware , son , of hypocrisy , of the yeast of the Pharisees ”. God cannot be sold but by Judas . The hypocrite cannot be but the one , who stays under the name of the Christian , of the teacher of the heaven on the earth . The worldly man does evil openly . The Christian man hides with the evil that he does , as he is Christian , and it is no need to be seen that he does evil things .
But to you , Israel , I give you wisdom from above as an example of the kingdom of heavens , which calls out on the earth . The true wisdom in the man is this : the man has to deny himself and no longer be himself , but Christ should be instead . Hear Israel , what your Shepherd speaks ! He , who wants to be with Me , should deny himself ; he should deny himself even during the time of his prayer , as this is what I said : « I do not do My will , but My Father ’ s will , the will of the One , Who sent Me ». Oh , let the man deny himself and then take up his cross and follow Me , as if he does not deny himself , he cannot follow Me . What does it mean , son , that the man should deny himself to have his way with Christ ? Behold , I took up My cross and I follow My Father , after My Father ’ s will , not after My will . This is what it means for the man to deny himself . This is what I said : « I do not do My will , but the will of the One Who sent
