Verginica. She was a vessel chosen by God, but neither the villagers, nor her neighbors, nor her godparents, nor her godchildren, nor her kindred and nor her closest relative valued her. The same was then too, when I came through the Virgin; the same as now when I came in the Holy Spirit to choose you from the world; you, Israel, My today’ s people. And I have had no place on the earth to teach you as I had to teach you, for the church on the earth that bears My name and My garment, the Orthodoxy that I kept calling it My bride, forsook God.( See the selection topic: „ The true church”, r. n.) It wants to deny God, but I say that it has already done so, as there has been no greater schism within My church since two thousand years than the one that was seventy years ago, when it was fulfilled the Scripture that says: « They will make so bold as to change the times ».( When, in 1924, the Romanian Orthodox Church changed some of holy days of old style- after the Julian calendar, for the new style – Gregorian, like Catholics as well, r. n.). Here is the schism of that time; it was the denial of the faith and of the celebrated saints from the heavenly Synod; the denial of the Orthodoxy from our forefathers.( See the selection topic: „ The changing of the holidays – renunciation of faith”, r. n.) The Orthodoxy does no longer know that God means; it took after the science of this age and believes what the science says. But the greatest science is to work out the commandments of the holiness and of the Christian and godly virtues, for which some of the learned men left the teaching of the world and embraced the light of the godly virtues, as it is written: « Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts », and the law, which condemns the man before God, as the experts of the law condemn your love for heaven.
Oh, I have let you know so that you may gather yourself together around the manger of My word, and you loved Me and came. And since I have proclaimed My word for you to come, you have come, Israel, and I looked ahead of you and I prepared you path, son. There are three, four days since I have lowered the word here, at My manger, and I have taught the children of My word to kneel down with their hands lifted up and to ask from Me to nourish the earth with rain. They listened to Me and I prepared the rain and I watered the earth. And I told them again to ask from Me; to ask cloudless and fine weather to work at your request, people chosen today, and I work this way. I work into your midst, to convince you that I have always been into your midst by the word.
Well children, have faith in God. This is the work that you have to fulfill: to believe in Me. Be careful and do not burden yourself with the weariness on the road. Be careful in your spirit, as I want to exhort you for the work of grace, sons. I want you to know well what the Christian is to say to have grace from God. The Christian of My people needs to have grace, and if it has not, let him ask this work from God and it will come.
Oh, Christians, the heart in you is the house for Me, children, and if My grace dwells in it, the Christians is always with his house open, so that My grace may enter it. Your face, dear Christian, is the window of your heart. If you look on someone’ s face you understand whether the man has grace. The grace in man comforts and warms up everything that the man has around himself. My grace in you makes you calm and contended; it makes you peaceful and clean. My grace in you calls you to life and peace, to faith and resurrection. That is why I teach you, My people, that I want you to know how to work by grace, but by My grace and not by your grace. You should learn from Me the work of the grace, as it is a great thing to be under My grace, Israel. Do not get upset of your sufferance, and do not get upset of your trials that come upon you, as they
