are left behind . Only I am able to remain with man , only that the man may have Me , only that he may want Me as I am and as I can be with him so that he may have Me .
My way is hard between earth and heaven up to the man ’ s heart , and My waiting has become a burden . I have been waiting for the man to unite with Me to be one spirit and one love , and My waiting has become a burden , and the devil torments My love after man . My cross is heavy and My coming after man remains outside of the man ’ s heart , for the pride of life has become sweet to his heart . I speak gently but full of pain and without any comfort , and sufferance makes Me gently in the word . I would like , man , to be able to help you . I am a foreigner into your way , but I am God of God and I advise you towards a gentle spirit so that we may receive one another after that . Amen .
It is the feast of the cross , My people . It is a day of memorial of My cross , the cross on which My body passed into death , and then from death to the life by the cross , sons .
