eternal on the earth. The narrow gate by which one enters to You is the inexhaustible humility, and the work of humility is the broken heart, the heart which makes the man talk and testify about the work in it for You, and by no means is he to hide it, for the broken heart after You is a great light on the earth, and the way, which leads to Your kingdom, is seen at its light, oh, mysterious Shepherd of those that are humble! The man who is hiding in his inner being is known that he is hiding, and the worthy one in his spirit and in his sight brings into the open the hidden one, either if he tells him or not, but he sees him, the one that is hidden, and he has him as one that is hidden within himself. Wow to the one who cannot be judged by the things in his inside, either if they are seen or not seen, Lord! The hidden one cannot be judged but only by his concealment, for his concealment does not forgive the one who is hidden in his inside. However, happy and three times happier is the one who has humility, the broken heart after You, Lord, for it does not let him be hidden, for the haughtiness of the man conceals the man in his own body. The mystery of Christianity is the humility of the heart, which breaks the man to pieces in order to bring him to You, so that he may find the faith and its gifts, which lead to Your kingdom, Lord.
Oh, embrace us to Your bosom into the midst of Your people, for we have loved You then as now with an unequalled love, and we put ourselves at the foundation of the work of Your coming and at the new creation of the world, and behold, You have started the new creation on the new foundation of Your holy sacrifice, for Your throne from this garden is the chalice in which You have poured Yourself out to their life by their little hands that are at Your mysterious work, put by You and by us, Your bishops, who left them Your work( The Divine Liturgy, r. n.) that You started through Your first apostles. We embrace those in the garden, so that they may not forget our embracing and our work that is put over them. Let them also stay together and let them stay one on the earth, as we also stay in heaven and before those who call us on the earth. Amen.
You should be like us before the Lord, for we gave to you with love and great thrill, when we gave you, so that you may be able to carry on your little hands the Holies of the saints,( Holy Gifts- Holy Communion- Lord ' s Supper- The Eucharist, r. n.) and you should always speak over the people, and you should always say that the Holies have been given to the saints. Amen. You should always, always work for the last church, for it comes from everlastingness, the same as the Shepherd Lord has revealed the mystery in which you are established by Him. Be in the Lord, and the Lord in you, and put the light that is in you on the table, so that there may be light in the house of the Lord. Be only one work, only one love, only one word, for you live the same time, the same mystery and the same calling. Show the gate, which leads to life! Give this grace to everyone, as we have also given it and still want to give it through you, but receive us in everything you and we have, for the mysterious Shepherd knocks at the door, and He will ask you of His sheep, of the sheep, which know to hear His voice, the voice of the mysterious Shepherd, Who is coming with the clouds of saints for the creation of the world, which is to come for the healing of the nations. Amen.( See the selection topic: „ He comes the same way as He ascended: He comes with the clouds”, r. n.)
We bless the whole country of Your coming, Lord. You are its mysterious Shepherd. Receive our prayer for it and make it to know You and to know its mystery, Your mysterious kingdom in its midst, Your little Romania, which You have given to growth, until all the dough rises. Amen. You are the mysterious Shepherd, and how beautifully and sweetly You have come with Your coming on the earth! Make Romania to know of its mystery and to call You to come. May You really come, and may You be seen in it, so that it may be fulfilled its glory and its brightness that it will receive once with Your appearance from its midst over the earth. This is how we wish You listen to us for
