sensitive and then man cries before his Savior, Christ, Who washes away the sins of the world
as Lamb and it makes man gently and to say: Oh, little and merciful Lamb, you took my place
before the judge satan, who accuses me. I am the one who went wrong, and You are the One
Who made atonement for me and my sin is constantly before me, but You are constantly with
me too, Lord, my Savior, and You paid for my wrongdoings.
Behold how much affection and power for love man is able to have, the man who real-
izes all the time how sinful he is! Can he separate himself from the Lord afterwards? Oh, no!
He feels the Lord in him living there by the brokenness of his heart full of warmth for the One
in heaven Who is his Master, for the One Who saves the sinful one by His mercy for man. Oh,
how affectionate king David was and how much comforted he was when he was saying: «For
I know my transgressions. My sin is constantly before me. Against You, and against You
alone have I sinned, and done that which is evil in Your sight, that You may prove right when
You speak, and justified when You judge… Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean. Wash
me, and I will be whiter than snow. Let me hear joy and gladness, that the bones which You
have broken may rejoice… Create in me a clean heart, oh, God. Renew a right spirit within
me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation. Uphold me with a willing spirit… Lord, open my
lips. My mouth shall declare your praise». (Ps: 51 MT = 50 LXX/3-15)
I am sitting at the table of word with the bishops celebrated in a churchly manner
in heaven and on earth on this day, and the teaching of today is great and it is that of a bishop.
Oh, let us work for the Father and for His joy from man then, My beloved bishops! I in you,
and you in Me, as this mystery and unity work between Me and the Father, and let us become
word and with it let us give food. Amen.
— We are one in the word, too, our Lord and King on earth and in heaven. We have to
tell the people the word of the Scripture of two thousand years ago, which says: «We know that
whoever is born of God doesn’t sin». (1 John 5:18) Oh, how shall we do so that all people may
consider that which we are bringing now to the renewal in their minds and to the fulfillment in
the works of their lives, oh Lord? Oh, people need love. Sin submits before love and love makes
man sensitive and gentle, and then it makes him humble before You and then man seeks after
comfort for Your wounds from him and he wants to heal them for You, and Your comfort from
him becomes his comfort and his salvation, and behold how much power love has, Lord!
Oh, if it were possible, Lord, we would stand up to visible work and we would go on our
feet visibly high and low through the midst of the people, and we would tell them about this
comfort from them to You, and then from You to them, for people do not have any comfort, they
do not have, Lord, for they are condemned by sin, and the sin hides its ugly face and the spirit
of the devil, which becomes sin in man. Those, who have heard from Your mouth during these
days that there is no man without a demon in him, got upset, but only the one who is born of
God does not sin, oh, Lord, and this is what man has to know and he has to humble himself
much because of his weakness, and then, out of his humility, Lord, bring forth wisdom for him
and make the man incline to a sweet spirit face to face with God, with You, Lord, Who bring
the devil judgment on behalf of man so that You may redeem the man in such a way that he may
no longer be the devil’s dwelling place.
Behold, there is comfort in pain, and there is both for You, Lord, and for man, too, only
for man to be able to work, only that he may want to build the citadel of comfort. The evil spirit
flees from the spirit of comfort and he has been struggling full of fear for two thousand years,
