accomplish . I prophesied to him that I will multiply his seed like the stars of the heaven , and this is what I fulfill , for I have the heaven as holy followers of Abraham . I promised Isaac to him by prophecy and I gave him an example by those that I , the Lord , the Son of the Father , was going to suffer , as Abraham brought the life of his son as a sacrifice , at the Father ’ s commandment , so that he might take it back , just as I also took Mine back after I laid it down on the cross .
Oh , My people , I have been teaching you to show yourself too with the sacrifice of your faith and love of God , and I have told you that I bless you with power for the time of your abstinence from food until the day of celebration of My resurrection , for I am the Shepherd Who laid down His life for the sheep in order to take it back and then to give it to My sheep so that they may have life in them . However , you should not forget about you , not about another one , son , and let each one of you give to the Lord according to the measure he has got so that he may receive from God .
Some of you should fast for yourselves , sons , for your own good . Some other of you should also fast for Me , to My good . And some other from among you should fast for the love of the people , just as I did . Still , others should fast for the power of those who are weak in their spirit and body , according to the love that have those who fast like that . And behold , there are various different gifts even if they work within the same spirit and for the same God , and behold , not all the bodies are the same , and some of you have to sacrifice more for those who do not do the same , for the love or the power are not the same in all of you . Remember the child ’ s mother , who was about to lose the crown of martyrdom for the salvation and less for the love of God , and his mother carried him in her back up to his crown . ( See the selection topic : „ About fasting and almsgiving ”, r . n .)
Oh , sons , some of you fast beautifully and with joy and faith , sons . Some other of you fast by lusting and waiting to pass the fasting so that they may eat , but this abstinence is not good when it is brought as a debt , but it is good when is given with longing and love , little sons . I have some of you who receive a big grade from Me for a smaller abstinence from food , but at the same time , for more food for Me from him , for a sweeter life for Me in him , for a greater kingdom of Mine in him , without seeking to measure another one ’ s to see how big it is , for the one full of the spirit of love and humility pleased to Me , does not do something like this to take after someone ’ s model or not model , but he rather takes Me as his example , and I am the One Who measures according to everyone ’ s dough .
Oh , My people , I scatter only wisdom into your way to be able to get used to the way of My love , son , and to look at Me and not at your brother , for it is not you but I , Who needs to measure your love for Me and the sacrifice of your love . If the man measures it , you remain without any reward , but if I measure it , I know to weigh your creature well , your growth and your sacrifice for it . On the earth some become saints in their heart and then in their body , and that is the sweetest sacrifice before Me . Some become saints in their body and their heart is small in humility and sacrifice , and this is a small measure , easier . And others are
