Christ was great in My martyr, and it prevailed against the royal pride and the victory of the
martyr George has remained history and he went up into heaven with it and with it he helps the
Christians, and the Christians know him in heaven as the bearer of victory and they help with
him in My name in all their trials, and behold, sons, what the power of joy in man means.
— Oh, I want, Lord, I want to speak to the sons of Your word too. It is my day of synod
among saints and it is Your day of Passover, and we have to speak about Your joy from those
who are faithful to You. Oh, bless my speaking, my King, for I want to tell those who want to
listen to my speech of today, that if You, Lord, are not the joy of man always, always, as man is
something else, and he has even become Your persecutor. Oh, woe to the life in man without
God in it and for it, without the joy for it, for You, only You are the joy of the man’s life, only
You, Lord! I had in me this joy as long as I lived on the earth. It was shining in me and those in
my time used to like me because of it, and they exalted me on a high seat to lead the royal army,
but when the persecution of the Christian came, I showed them all the One Who was living in
me as joy and beauty, that is You, Lord, the One from Whom the king pressed me to separate
for the sake of his lying idols. Then the joy of my soul startled and I got up with joy in time of
unbelief to confess Your divinity, oh, Lord, and this joy was growing in me, and at the same
time the opposition was growing in the king too once with my confession for You, and I over-
came him, I overcame him together with You and for You, as I chose You and not him, and I
have remained with You forever and You are my joy, from earth and up to heaven, and You are
my joy, for any work for You has to be done with joy, Lord, and let all the Christian people on
the earth hear this and get use to be beautiful, for beauty is joy, and joy is beauty, oh, Lord of
the joy of my soul.
Woe to the discontent man! What can make one like that rejoice? Nothing, nothing can
make him rejoice, for joy is a virtue and it cannot give itself for moments and longings. The
complacency of the soul does not have to be expected from the sides for it is part of the godly
man’s nature, and when you see a complaining man, can you believe that he can love God? Oh,
no. Only the one with his soul full of joy can love the Lord much, for I had many riches on the
earth, left by my parents, but the Lord was my joy, and I left them off like dust, for I could not
forsake my joy, the Lord of my soul, Who was enough for me, always sufficient.
Oh, sons of God’s word, may the Lord be sufficient for you, and may it be also sufficient
for you to work for Him, for His confession! What great and much joy is for you to work for
Him, even when it seems that what you work is something insignificant, for the soul has to be
always, always, only joy, because God is the soul in man. Oh, learn to give to the Lord that
what nobody gives Him. Give Him place and joy in you! Be the sons of joy, be full of God
always!
I am speaking to the Christian people everywhere, all over the earth, and I am speaking
to everyone: Be full of God, not full of yourselves! The Lord has done man’s will as a God. You
also should do His will and the will of your brothers to be like God. Oh, there is no joy without
the Lord. Oh, do not despair in times of trials and temptations. I overcame them all and I over-
came them with the Lord. This is how you should also work, and you are to rejoice working for
the Lord, and if you live otherwise on the earth then you will not be Christians but only by your
name and that is all. Oh, come to life, come to live with the Lord, and I, near Him, am telling
you on a day of Passover: Christ has risen!
