The Word of God[1] on the fifth Sunday of the Lent, of the devout Mary, the Egyptian[2]

The word is My way between heaven and earth, among the holy inhabitants with Me in heaven and the people on earth, and one cannot be without God on earth, especially now, when fierce war is being waged against God’s being on earth so that the Lord may not trouble with His being the work of lawlessness, which is on all seats, big and strong, and which cuts down God’s creature from its feet, as it is written to overflow the cup of lawlessness of the whole earth and then its end to come. (See the selection topic: „The end of the world and the Day of the Lord”, r.n.)

I am the Lord, Jesus Christ, the Word of God, the Word of the Father, and I am full of word all the time, once with the unbelief on earth and with the whole lawlessness, which is worked by all people who taste the sin and the spirit of the world, which enters man through all his senses, which serve the sin. As for Me, I am more and more aggrieved with the disobedient creature which has forsaken the mystery of life and enchants itself with the emptiness of all things; however, I want to overcome for man by the faith of those who believe Me that I come as word on earth and that with it I prepare the visible glory, the new heaven and the new earth, and to punish sin, because sin separates man from God, from his Maker, and because man loves sin very much and cannot live without it; oh, he can no longer live without it, and behold, man needs pains to help him put away the desire for sin and to understand his life wasted on nothing, as man builds for himself only sufferance by sin.

On this Sunday, Mary, the Egyptian, is being remembered, the woman who sold herself to sin with all her being, which believed that God is but did not care of Him. She did not give much attention to His justice against those who violated the commandments of life, for sin loved her very much, as she also loved it, since she did not know that sin is not love and that it is rather man’s love which serves the master of sin, the one who hates the good, satan. Oh, I had mercy on this being and I touched her heart and turned her back with her face to God, and she came to her senses and stopped to enslave people under her creature caught by sin.

Oh, how much mercy I have on people! People fall upon people; they fall to bondage within their hearts and they fall before the woman. Oh, how much compassion I have had! A man looks at a woman and forgets about God, poor of him. Oh, what an abomination is before God the woman that is naked of the Lord because of her lust after herself, and then after sin! Sufferance lies ahead of men, for she is the fruit of sin. Mary, the Egyptian, came to her senses for those who were falling in the sin inside her, and then for her, and she did no longer want to destroy the people and departed far away from the people and gave herself over to sufferance willingly, struggling to put out the flame of sin, which controlled her being with so much ruthlessness.

In the course of time the holy fathers gave the example of this being, so much vicious after sin, and then so much of a fighter against sin, which weakened her being and will. The heavenly grace came to help her, for her tears made the devils bitter, and her repentance shook the power of satan and put to flight armed hosts of ministering devils, who had nothing to work against her, for she brought her body under control and then she was consumed with the spirit of repentance and tears; she cried all the time for her and for all the souls she had drawn into sin, to satan, who has not got a more shameful goal for man than that of the spirit of immorality, which kills the Lord in the man’s body, in this temple where the Lord would be to live, because the Lord made the man’s body for Himself, and He put in him the breath of life. (See the selection topic: „What defiles a man, what enters or what comes out of him?[3]”, r.n.)

Oh, there is only immorality in men on earth! Man has no longer any power against the sin in his body. He is not afraid of the kingdom of sin, which has enslaved him very badly. Behold, man cannot live without a woman, and on earth it is as in hell and even worse, for in hell is the painful reward for the sin committed in the flesh and mourning is in the whole hell, and on earth is joy from the fire and taste of sin, which greatly delights in each body of the man, and no one flees from this scorching fire anymore, as Mary the Egyptian fled with the fire behind, and then she had to cry so much before the water of her tears came to put out the fire which had pushed her to sin. (See the life of Mary, the Egyptian, r.n.)

Oh, who can stop himself from committing sin? Oh, what shall I do with the people, what shall I really do? I cry with the Father and with the saints because of the scorching heat on the people and all people burn in sin; they stumble against each another, and some against others after that, and behold the hell with its face upon the people, and people walk completely naked like the devils and no one wants sacks and ashes, no one abstains himself, no one cries with tears of repentance, no one wants to punish his body with abstinence from food until man gets rid of the flame in him. When I see so much carelessness in man for the evil in him, for the venom in him, the venom of snake, when I see that he does not keep his lustful body in control and gathers sufferance without knowing it, then I cry with the Father and with the saints for the man’s sake.

Oh, man, how has it come to you to deny God’s will and build a kingdom for you, for sin? He who built the man asks him what he has done with God’s creation. All over the earth death and hell arose and cut the people in such a way that man may no longer have time to return and repent. Dearth is everywhere. The punishment for sin rages and people have part of their earned reward, and I died in vain for so many creatures that have been cut off by sin.

Behold, what I say and what I call out: Oh, people on earth, oh, men’s sons, sanctify yourselves for the Lord, Who has made the heaven, the earth and the man! The Lord comes as word on earth and He comes into your way and calls out to you to repent for your life full of sin, day and night, and you are not afraid for this waste of time and life. You will give an answer for the life in you that you have not valued and you have given it over to sin. Be afraid for this answer. In vain you try to forget about God; in vain you take after one another to believe that God does not exist, or at least that He does not see. Oh, in vain you lie to each other to get away from God, because I, the Lord, proved two thousand years ago that I came from the Father on earth as true God of true God and then I was crucified for you on the cross and after that I came to life again for you too, and out of the love for you I let My body nailed on the cross in order to come to life again from the dead and to appear victoriously, and all the rulers of the unfaithful people of Israel were terrified; however, out of that stubborn people, I have raised a seed of new man and I have written Myself with My kingdom in people, and satan was judged and since then he has been taking his revenge against men and he has been spoiling the fear of God in them, and because of that, people do no longer have any wisdom and they have only pride and that is all, and pride is the weapon against man himself in each man, and behold satan’s kingdom in man built by haughtiness!

Oh, I cannot stop making room into the book of My word for the speech of Mary, the Egyptian, with the man. She is carried in heaven by a synod of saints like a queen against sin, for in her own body she overcame the sin that had enslaved her for such a long time. Oh, may your speech upon the men’s sons be blessed, you, who overcame the world not sparing your body, after that the grace from above came to your help against the sin in your body! My work is the spirit of confession, as of the spirit of those who sanctified themselves for Me in the time of their body. Oh, peace to you among those in heaven on your day of memorial in a synod of saints, for your victory against the devil was great and it was on the side of your Lord! Amen.

— Oh, Lord, my Lord, how much I made You suffer on earth, oh, how much! Then I passed to Your side to fight against the sin in me, but because for such a long time I had been against You, it cannot be otherwise but make me bitter in heaven as on earth, after I had made peace with You and worked forgiveness on Your behalf, the Good One of those who are sick, for I was sick to death, but Your mercy came into my way and woke me up to much repentance, and then to the uncomforted mourning for many, many years, until You released me from my body, after I had cleansed it from all the filth of the sin in it.

Oh, how much comfort brought to me my speaking with You in the wilderness. I was speaking only with You, for I came out from among people, after I had filled many people with guilt, with the guilt that was in me, and I was very much guilty for all those whom I made to burn for me with sin, because whoever looks at a woman, forgets about God, as Your mouth spoke about this truth. Oh, behold what a woman is! The woman is more dangerous than water and fire for the life of the men, who lose the vigor of their mind when the woman draws and makes them weak towards her. (See the selection topic: „The mystery of the man and of the woman[4]”, r.n.) There was nothing else to do with me but only to flee from the world, to flee to You and then to ask You to work out my forgiveness,
