Whoever will not receive God’s kingdom like an infant, will not come into it, be-
cause anyone who humbles himself will be exalted and he will be exalted to Me with his heart
in him, with his submission, which exalts him among those that are well pleased to Me. Those
who are well pleased to Me come up with their prayer in pains after Me and they cry out day
and night to save them from death, and I am long-enduring for these, and because of My pa-
tience for them, the haughty and unrepentant man gets courage, only that he may be able to see
that My goodness leads him to repentance and to a prayer like that of the tax collector, who was
beating his breast, not even daring to lift up his eyes to heaven, but rather saying with pain:
«God, be merciful to me, a sinner!» (See the selection topic: „About the kingdom of God”,
r.n.)
I want mercy. Why does the man not hear what I want? Why does he not bring Me a
sacrifice for his sin and a tithe of his earnings, so that he may have Me his debtor afterwards,
the same as the Pharisee had Me, reminding Me of his good deeds and of his tithes to the temple
and of the evil deeds of the tax collector? Those who serve at the altar are those who receive
sacrifices from the man for the sin of the man, who was obviously a sinner by the sacrifice he
brought to the altar, a sacrifice of which the one who serves at the altar lives and not I, and I
do not live either in the one who brings the sacrifice to the altar for his sin, or in the one who
receives on the altar his sacrifice for the sin, the sacrifice shown in the law for the sin. However
I want mercy. The one, who serves at the altar for the sinful man, wants sacrifice, and I want
mercy from the man and from the one who does not help the man who sins, but receives his
sacrifice for the sin instead, as also today people upon people and crowds of people who are
gathered in the worldly churches give memorials, money and offerings to the ministers from
the altars as in the time of the sacrifices for the sins of Israel, and I do not want these sacrifices,
but I rather want the man’s repentance, the man’s heart, while the ministers from the altars
suck the blood of those that are poor and rich who bring their offering to the altars, and the
ministers of the altars do nothing else; they do not help the people to give up their evil deeds
and then to keep crying out to Me day and night to do them justice against their adversary, the
devil, who keeps them slaves to the temptation of the spirit of the world, the temptation of their
bodies and to any kind of temptation. I desire mercy so that I may be merciful to the man. The
tax collector was merciful to Me and he was calling Me to comfort him with his repentance
beating his breast because of his remorse and because of the terror of the punishment for his
deeds.
I desire mercy, both from the man to Me and from Me to the man, but especially from
the man to Me. The sacrifice for the sin or the tithe is for the one who serves at the altar, and is
not for Me, and the man is loaded with his sins for Me and with the sins of the servant who
lives on the sins of the man. Oh, if any man on the earth would not commit any sin, what would
the ministers of the altars live on, those who minister before Me for the sinful man? They would
live on the Pharisee’s tithe, and they would still live from the altar. Soon, soon, soon, I will take
revenge on them, for they do not help either those that are born and nor do they help those that
die to enter the kingdom of the heavens as little children, but rather they keep asking them for
money and money again, even after the man dies. Oh, when are they going to do good things
for the poor? When are they going to have mercy on their soul, and then to have mercy on Me?
When, Pharisee? When, you minister at the altar? When, are you, scribe, going to bring Me
your pleasant sacrifice to Me, the humility of your heart and the spirit of your humility, to exalt
you to heaven with the heart and not with the eyes and not with the work of your hands, which
has reached to My bone making me your debtor? When are you going to learn what mercy is
