body and as word upon you, the mystery of deification. Open wide the door of your heart to be easy for you on earth, for there is no other comfort in all ages but only the heaven that is unseen by the man and for which the man has been longing so much. I bowed so gladly and so much to the angel who announced my deification when he placed the Son of the Father into my body to grow and to be born and then to be known on earth! And you should rejoice even more, for it is not an angel that comes to you, but rather the Lord Himself, and He is accompanied by the glory of His word together with His Body, which is given to you by the mystery of the kingdom of the heavens into your midst and in which you have to enter completely, more than any saint by now, for this is the work that the heaven has been waiting from you, people, son of God. (See the selection topic: „About the kingdom of God[5]”, r.n.) My Son exalts you to a great name from now on and He will call you «The Holy Citadel», you and the earth under you, and you should receive this good announcement with great holiness and you should say: “Here we are, Lord. Be it to us according to Your word.” Amen.

 

I urge you as the mother of her Son, the only One Who is holy, to remain under guidance, for this is how I stayed all the time of my life on earth. I advise you to hold your little hand with those who make you grow for heaven, because it is not hard on earth with the heaven, but is hard without heaven instead. The mystery of my Son is great into your midst, and if you are not as much as it is, how are you supposed to receive it, how are you supposed to carry it, and how are you supposed to give yourself to the Lord through it if you could not perceive it and if you could not believe its greatness from heaven? Oh, you shall not look for the heaven, for the heaven is with you. You shall not look for the Lord, for the Lord is with you. You shall look to be with the heaven and with the Lord. You shall look to be the heaven of the Lord, for the Lord is with you. You shall look to be the heaven of the Lord, for the Lord is with you. Give Him your place. This is the mystery, which you have to know the most, you who have the heaven with you and the word of the Lord speaking from around you. Give your place to the Lord and the whole creation from above and from below will bow before you for your happiness.

 

When He came and became flesh among people, He was in need of a way for His coming on earth, and I said: “Behold, the handmaid of the Lord and of His word!” When He comes now to you for the judgment of the world, He needs a way, as then, on His first coming. Give to the Lord your dwelling as I gave mine to Him and the entire creature will bow to you if the Lord will be your love as He also was my love. Give to the Lord your dwelling and stay under His great care the same as I stayed so that He could fulfill the mystery of His coming with me, the mystery of the coming of the Lord in the flesh on earth. Oh, seek, Jerusalem, to be what is written for you to be! Amen.

 

My Son found those within the gates in pains, and He breathed upon them with the heavenly powers so that the Lord might enter and bring food for the soul after that those from heaven, who have guided you for the heaven in you, have given you so much food, blessed people. Let yourself be penetrated in your body by the Body of the Lord, the one full of the Holy Spirit, so that living waters may flow from the mouth of your sons, the waters of life, as they flow from the sons set by the Lord upon you as strong guides, people guided by the Spirit of the Lord, from above and from below. Receive the Lord’s hand upon you, the blessing of the Lord, the peace of the Lord and His great love that He has given you to carry and to give it further, so that it may grow and to be multiply abundantly and then to fill the earth by the Lord’s coming to you.

 

Woe to the people without any guidance, for that one dies! And blessed are you, people with a guidance from heaven and from earth, and may you have eternal life upon you! This is what I wish you and what I intend for you, mother Virgin of the Son of God, and you should take great care of the Lord’s treasure into your midst, of His Body and Word, which makes you into a kingdom of the heavens on earth. Take great care to be holy as in heaven, and do not seek to be holy as on earth, because the Lord, by those that He suffered, being Himself tempted, can come to the help of those that are tempted, only for you to remain under guidance and to know the time of your visitation, for the Lord, your God, has taught you many, many things. Amen, amen, amen.

 

― Oh, mother with great care of a mother! What mother can do harm to her son if she is a mother? This word “mother” is a great word! The word “mother” is a saint word. The word “saint” is a dear word, and the man does not know how beautiful the saint man is, and how much the holiness of the saint, beneficent to the man, is felt around. The haughty man does not know to learn the holiness from the teacher and not from himself, because if the teacher is not saint, he cannot share holiness and he cannot make the man holy.

 

Oh, My people, there was a man in a citadel who said to himself: “I will become holy,” and after a little while he said: “I am holy.” The days were passing, as they also have passed by that time, and he was wondering and saying: “What use is it that I have become a saint? Nobody knows about me and I do not find that I am useful.” Then he went to a man in his citadel and said to him: “I am holy.” And that one replied: “I cannot be sure that you are holy.” “You know it because I have just told you,” he replied. But the man did not believe him. Then he went to an old lady and he told her: “I went to some citizen and I told him that I would become a holy man. And then I became a holy man and he did not believe me.” And the old woman said to him: “He does not believe you and he cannot believe you.” “But I told him this,” he said to the old woman. “It is not enough that you have told him,” she said, “you have to prove this to him.” Then he went further to another citizen from the citadel and he told him that the people do not believe him that he is a holy man. Then, that man said to him: “The people do not believe you because the holy people stay with the holy people, and they receive holiness from them.” “But where shall I find any holy people?” he asked the citizen he was speaking with. And that citizen told him where he had to go to find holy people.

 

And going further, before getting into their midst, God spoke to those who were guiding the saints: “Today one holy man will come to you and you should welcome him bowing and speaking to him: Welcome, holy man!” The guide spoke this to the disciples and they did so when the man arrived there.

 

Then going back into his citadel, no one received him as a holy man, and he was asking himself saying: “What else shall I do? What use is it to me that I am a holy man? No one knows me.” And he told those in the citadel: “I went to the holy men and they welcomed me as a saint and you say nothing and do nothing before me.” They did not say anything and wondered and kept being silent. However, He came back again to the saints and spoke to them: “You have welcomed me as a saint and you knew that I was a saint man, but those in my citadel did not believe me even if I told them that you welcomed me.” But they also did not say anything more to him and bowing to him they said: “Go in peace, holy man.” And he went away into his citadel and he was sorry in his mind that he has become a saint and that he saw no use of this. It was not long until the guide of the saints came to his house. Even while he was at the margin of the citadel, all the citizens were coming closer to him to receive teaching from him, and for him to heal them, to help them and to strengthen them within their things. This is how he has arrived to the house of the one he was looking for, and coming into the house, all were waiting for his coming back and then to see him off , and they did so.

 

And the man who called himself a saint spoke to the people: “Do you see how this holy man came to me to advise you to believe what I have told you about myself? However, you have not wanted to believe otherwise.” But the citizens were looking at him the same way and not otherwise. Then he said to himself: “When the holy man will come again to me I will go with him to the end of the citadel to see what will happen then at my coming back home.” And he did so, as he said, but when he came back alone at his home, no one of the citadel followed him as the great multitude followed the other saint on his coming and on his going.

 

Then he got up and thinking at all of these things he went to ask the saints about his wonder. And arriving at them, he spoke to them about everything it was going on in his mind and asked them for an answer, and their guide answered him: “We greeted you as a holy man, both when you came and when you left, but if the people do not look at you this way and if the citizens do not welcome you as a saint, they are right, and you are not right?” And he replied: “But why did you say to me that I was a saint?” “It was not we that told you this but rather you thought about this in your mind.” And then he asked them: “But am I a saint or not?” “You are a saint in your mind, and we, by the gift of the Holy Spirit, have seen your haughtiness and have worked out to destroy it as something which is corruptible upon you. The holy man is something else than what your mind sees.” And he said to them: “Let me stay with you for a while, perhaps my mind will also understand as your mind does after I see how you work and
