I had always, always humbled Myself on earth, for the man to learn humility from Me, because until you tell him and then show him, he is still able to exonerate himself, for the man is not humble. He who does not have love for God has no humility at all and that one carries himself in his own back, and I, walking near him, urge him towards humility, to repentance, to faith against the day of his judgment when he will no longer have time for humility and repent- ance. The humble one shows what he has in him and he remains as a memorial on earth and in heaven and I have bishop Spyridon on this feast with you, a humble apostle and a humble man in his time as a man, and then My apostle, and I told you that the saints had been waiting for My coming with them so that they might show the crying of their joys for My coming with them, for the groan of the earth tears the heaven, and those in the graves cry out to Me, “Until when, Lord?” and those who hear Me and them and the saints speaking from Me over the earth, obey being astounded by this time, by My crying full of sighing over the earth, by My voice like a thunder, subjecting those from under the burden of My coming, which raises the dead from the tombs, and which makes the saints groan over the earth once with My groaning full of pain after the man. Amen, amen, amen. — And as for me, groaning Lord, how shall I disburden You of Your sighing? Lord, as long as I was on earth in the time of My flesh, I lived only within a spirit of humility on earth. Lord, I could not live and I could not love anything else but humility, for Your Spirit rested on me, and I worked as You did between me and man, and I showed the man what You also showed him: humility Lord, the sweetest life between heaven and earth. Humility carries sufferance in it for Your way and it is no longer the man but Your way to the humble man, and a way of the humble man to You, Lord of the humble, Son of David, the humble One for him and for the man, because it was for his humility and for his sufferance for Your love that You found him and strengthened him and then he called You to be the helper of his life, and You rebuked his sons with an iron rod and with beatings, but You have not taken away Your mercy from him because of his humility and because of his love and You said: «His seed will remain forever and I will also appoint him My firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth and he will call to Me: ‘You are my Father, my God, and the rock of my salvation». (Ps. 89:26, 27 4 ) Amen. Oh, humble Lord, the son of David, Who prophesied about You through the humble spirit, by its repentance and humility! You are the Lord of those who love You with humility and love, showing on earth You humility by which You have always bowed before the man. Oh, how much I have longed all the time to confess You and no longer to be ashamed to humble myself because of Your confession! I did great miracles and I believed with a big humility that You were perfecting Yourself by My pain for You from those who did not believe, by my humility, through which I confessed You as true God, and Who are proved out with Your great name, which I confirmed among the unfaithful ones who became scribes and bishops, but they were only Pharisees and did not love the fulfillment of the law of life and they did not humble, and like those in the time of John the Baptizer, they neglected Your will in themselves against Your justice which had been preached over the earth for the faith of the people who came to be baptized being washed by repentance. 4 89 MT - the Masoretic Text = 88 LXX - the Greek Septuagint, r.n. 3
