and asked them for an answer, and their guide answered him: “We greeted you as a holy man,
both when you came and when you left, but if the people do not look at you this way and if the
citizens do not welcome you as a saint, they are right, and you are not right?” And he replied:
“But why did you say to me that I was a saint?” “It was not we that told you this but rather you
thought about this in your mind.” And then he asked them: “But am I a saint or not?” “You
are a saint in your mind, and we, by the gift of the Holy Spirit, have seen your haughtiness and
have worked out to destroy it as something which is corruptible upon you. The holy man is
something else than what your mind sees.” And he said to them: “Let me stay with you for a
while, perhaps my mind will also understand as your mind does after I see how you work and
what you do.”
And after he has stayed there for a while and looked at them and heard from them, he
understood that someone cannot be a holy man unless he receives teaching from a man who has
been taught and tested by God for the benefit of those who have wanted to be God’s holy people,
as the disciples of the one who came into the citadel were listening and receiving from their
teacher the holy work, which was to be done and to be lived. And coming back into his citadel,
he started to speak to the people about his haughty mind after that teacher has told him that the
people in the citadel have been made better in God and that he would learn from them much
teaching, and that he also has made them better with the occasion of his coming into their cita-
del, offering them much, much teaching according to their good will and thirst for God. And
this is how he started with the humility of his heart and then with his teaching, going gladly to
their tables in the Spirit of the Lord and by the teaching of the holy one, who has advised them
for their faith through which he has drawn the saints to their helpful salvation.
Behold, My people, I have told you this parable after I have showed it into your midst
by My Holy Spirit. Receive from it and learn the teaching with a teacher, for your name is the
name of a holy people, and you have to throw down the imaginations of your mind, because I,
the Lord, by what I had suffered, being Myself tempted, I can also come to the help of those
who are tempted. Amen.
I have taught you to know and to make God grow in you, Jerusalem, for I am body and
word into your midst and I do no longer have room as wholly as I have room with you. And
you shall seek to be little, so that you may learn, so that you may give Me your little hand, My
people. I give you faith with a great gift in it, for it is written: «He who believes in Me, as the
Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water». (John 7:38) I tell you
this so that you may strengthen into your midst the living waters that come upon you, the
tongues of the Holy Spirit, by which I nourish you both from above and from below, and from
Me, and by those through whom I come and give you food with growth in it and for you. My
coming to you is a great feast, for it is hard without heaven on earth. It is hard on earth, but it
is not hard with the heaven. The greatest of your work shall be that one from Me, which has
to give you holiness of the heart and of the mind and of the body, for I protect you within a
great love to have you as Mine, My people. Humble yourself under My beneficial hand upon
you, and remain little so that I may grow you up and not you, for I want you to bring Me only
joys, Jerusalem.
However, you should stay under guidance, and you should not stay otherwise, and you
should keep Me with much longing into your midst, so that I may be able to advise you, My
people, and so that you may be able to be with Me, holy Jerusalem. Amen, amen, amen.
