do this in love , like the mother who has a little baby , and her thought , her longing , her love and her joy is only to him .
Oh , then you should also give of your spirit then , of your living ; you should give of your love for God , son , and you should give to those who come to their birth from above and you should also give them power to become God ’ s sons among people , for such a life draws the man to the emptiness of life , it does this when man expects the least of it , but the holy watch crowns the longing of the heart and likens to cherubim the one loving of God , and this is how he lives in God and God in him , and he becomes a bearer of God by his living within Me , and the cross and its sign always made on his body with his right hand , as his ancestors left it to be done , who received this heavenly gift in their heart and deed , this sign will remain as a seal on his body dedicated to God and as My witness always from him for the devil , who walks restlessly to take the man into his service on his behalf .

I will give you much harmony and peace and I will teach you to work and to eat like that during all the time of your work that you do . Oh , I thank you very much that you fill with flowers the sign of the holy cross , a sign made by your little hands out of wood or clay and then
adorned with flowers , angels and holy images , sons , and not with My crucifixion on the cross . Oh , comfort the Lord and the saints with your spirit in you and among you and may you be blessed for your entire beautiful and holy work , and I will watch upon you and for you and we will touch the hearts of the people , and all your things with Me will speak secretly before the people and all will be to
