The Word of God[1] on the second Sunday of the Lent, of the saint Gregory Palamas[2]

I am announcing Myself at the gates with My descent of word and I find it opened when I am coming; I am coming into My book of today and I am speaking. I am the Son of the Father Sabaoth, I am the Lord, Jesus Christ and I am speaking over the earth now, in the end of the time, as I am the Alpha and the Omega, and I speak and work in the end as I did in the beginning. Amen.

Oh, My people from the spring, if there are many or few, if there are some of those that say that My speaking is too much, too much even upon you, then I see from among the saints how much those who are thirsty of power and comfort seek after Me, and I have mercy on them, for they wait for Me and seek with you after My word when it comes, and they look to see if it comes, and if it does not come, their little heart is not comforted. Oh, sons, there are many who seek after My comfort and there will be more and more, for the pains are more and more, and there is no one to comfort those who are aggrieved, no one else but the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, the Spirit of the Father and Mine, the Spirit with Whom My saints have been comforted on the earth, and He has been their cradle, food and support in their sufferance and persecution for My name, in joys and in pains.

It is the time of the Lent in remembrance of My passions from man, and there are many who keep their body from food and from pleasures and they do this because of their faith and love and because of their fear of God, and there are some who, because of their mercy on Me, punish their body, because I suffered for their sins and so did many on the earth and became saints, and then I made them useful vessels for the grace of various kinds and My works on the earth among people and for people among men and for men, for men are weak and are aggrieved.

Oh, My near people, you should take My word upon you as salve and you should take it as your life, son. Seek to think in a clear manner, well sons, even when it might be some fault in between, for the good thinking brings God near, while the evil thinking brings near the devil, sons, and when there is some fault, seek with great wisdom to heal the wound there where it is in man, and do no put pressure in any way, for only One is the Judge, and you all are brothers, and the great wisdom is at its place, there where God puts it for you to take of it for the clarifying of all things that may appear, and your faith, your love and wisdom has to be great for this, so that I may see that you understand as I want over all that are from you and with you, for you are close to Me, and you are My sharers then. The prayers of the saints help you to know and to pray in any circumstances, and they help you to repent for you, and for one another, and they help you with your humility, sons. And if they were themselves again in those that they were confessing as their sins before Me, you find yourselves even more, and you stand before Me with an aggrieved heart for the cleanness in you; yours and all the people’s on earth, and this is how you are to say: We humble ourselves for us for the whole human kind, Lord, before You, to forgive us and them, as a Savior Who has come from the Father on the earth for man. Amen.

I have in the feast announced by the saints and by the fathers through the church the remembrance of the bishop Gregory, a pleasant vessel to God in his time and full of the Lord’s greatness in him, for he loved the Lord on earth, and then he worked much for God, and his work has remained as exhortation for the church. The saints are full of longing for My coming, for they come with Me, when they come, as it is written for Me to come when I come, and the joy of confession is with them in heaven among saints, as it was on earth among people, and My saints speak from near Me in a spirit of the church, so that all may build up and all may comfort, as it is written in the Scriptures about the work of the church with all of its members, the whole church of Jesus Christ on earth, and which works from the earth and from the heaven grace and food of Holy Spirit over it. Amen.

– Oh, grace upon grace over it, over Your church with all its members, oh, Lord of Your saints in heaven and on earth! My joy has the day of today for it, like my confession, my first confession from heaven over Your church and through it on earth. My joy with You is great, Lord, in my day of memorial, a day established by the fathers in the time of the great fast for the remembrance of Your passions for us, Lord, for the sons of Your church, Good Shepherd and Savior. However, I had loved You even since I was a child, for I had felt You crying in my little heart, and I wanted to cry with You then all my life on earth for You are aggrieved after man. As fatherless as I was, I took You as my Father and I wanted to be Yours, against the teaching received from the earth from many teachers. However, I was filled by the longing after You, and this helped me to draw all my family, mother, brothers and sisters to You and to give You, and so it was, for all left this age and were seized by Your age even from here, the age that is to come, Lord, for happy and holy are those who leave this passing age and pass from body into soul; they pass into the love and into the living of the age that is to be for those who choose it on earth! I have dedicated all my family to you, and I also dedicated myself even more to You, and then, strengthened by Your grace, I started to worship the people and to make them come after You as I and those in my family after the flesh came. I worked into Your vineyard with the longing after the people, so that the people may come after You, Lord; they and their followers who hear Your teaching by Your confessors.

I thank you in heaven with humility that You have descended in Your manger of today on the earth and that You have become the way of my confession among the saints, and my joy in heaven is great and it is with great humility. Oh, the joy of humility is great, Lord, and do not know which is the true joy that gives forth fruit through it, and that is why many have passing joy, and they lose their joy on earth, but the joy of humility is eternal, Lord, and man has it for heaven and in heaven, as a reward of his love for God on earth.

Oh, love with power the joy of humility, you, sons of God’s word now on earth on the hearth of the Romanian people! I am looking at you in amazement, sons. I am bowing and blessing you for the Lord’s mercy and grace upon you, His people on the earth today, people of disciples with a teaching from heaven among them, a church whose head is the Lord, full of the glory of His word among you, the spirit of testimony, the spirit of the prophecy on the table of Christ’s church on earth.

Oh, how the servants in the churches are supposed to love you when they do not even love God? I know this pain of the Lord from those on the earth who call themselves servants of churches. If they do not make any effort in a holy manner, crucifying their body for Christ, for the church, as the true shepherds of the flock are, in Christ’s image and likeness; they are nothing more than those who defile the strong Christians, persecuting them and not embracing them for their strong life in faith, in humility and in sacrifice, as the Lord requires of the sons of His church with members, the work for which the priests and the bishops stood and stand against from on to another, and they do this for their high position, for their praised rank for them, and not for the Lord, Who humbled Himself for His flock, as its Savior. (See the selection topic: „The true church”, r.n.)

You, who are anointed from heaven, you, Christ’s today’s people, keep yourself under His grace, for by the Lord’s grace you are now the rock of the church which is to be, confessing church by Christ, by the spirit of the prophecy, which gives birth to God’s sons. Peace to you! I am ordaining the blessing of a bishop upon you. The saints from heaven are confessing you today, people earned by God from among those who call themselves Christ’s church, but they are not, and they lie instead, as it is written at the end of the Scriptures for the present time, in the end of the time. The time is coming when all will know among them of your little power and of the Lord’s great grace upon you, and many will know that the Lord loved and loves you, and willing or not, many will humble themselves before this work with you, the word of God with you, people of Christ’s grace. Peace to you from the saints in heaven! He Who is into your midst is great, and you are His body, His members, as it is written. Oh, strengthen you watch for a great and holy life and stay in the threshold for the Lord’s coming to you, and wait for His great glory, wait for the day when He will appear from your midst as on the Mount Tabor at His disciples, to His great glory and to the shame of those who are unfaithful because of their lack of humility! Grace, grace upon you! The grace of the Lord with you, for the Lord is Your Master, your Shepherd and your Savior! Amen, amen, amen.

– Oh, peace to you, bishop seized by the grace of the love from above on earth and in heaven! You have confessed and blessed the people of My word of today on earth into the midst of the Romanian people. I have given you the day of the joy for your great humility on earth. My today’s people is despised like Me on earth, but My saints are blessing it from heaven. Peace to you, saints of the heaven, who see from heaven the one blessed today on the earth, the one who blesses Me according to the truth, for the time is coming and it has already come for My
