… Preserve your health, sons, as many are sick, and for these here is what you are to do: black fasting, the best medicine: the suckling from the bosom, four hours; the child by seven years, until twelve o’clock, and the healthy ones should fast until evening, until six o’clock in the evening, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. For the healing of the soul and body, one should read within eight hours forty oratories; and during other eight hours one should read the whole Psaltery through and also the Songs of Moses. And what is besides these it concerns you. And then it comes the Hours and Canons. You should not stay without Canons in your houses, and when you pray, you should have the little note for the dead, as there are many dead who are no longer reminded in churches.

… My little children, I lost much blood for you and I labored and suffered much for you, but not even a quarter of a day do you suffer from hunger for Me. I told you to fast and you do not fast, and you say that you fast for Me. And you fast unwillingly, as the bread that you eat now when you have to fast, you would have it then.
… The Lord’s mother will sweep out everything that is evil on the hearth of this country. He, who is with Me, will remain. The people of God will inherit, as the foreign visitors saw what it is in Romania, and they know what it has under the bed (Under the soil of the country, r.n.), and they can hardly wait to plunder it; however, the lawless one will be burned and then his dust will be scattered by the wind and taken away from this land. Did you hear?

… My mother and all the prophets and all the patriarchs and all the teachers and spiritual priests pray to you to keep well the way with Me. Be faithful to God. Do not let the weeds at the root of the vineyard. Spray the tree so that the caterpillars may die from it, for the time is coming for the leaf to spring up out of the tree. The caterpillars are the desires that the Christians have in their life. Sprayed with poison, that is with feast and prayer. Be good and do not rush to get out. Let the gates be open and do not get out for outside is gnashing of the teeth and worms eating. Stay with Me Christian, be patient, for the Lord is adding you at the right time. Let not God stay with the stick into His hand against you; the Kingdom is not earned this way. Let the gates be open and let the doorkeeper not be and do not get out of the gate, for getting out, you will not come back, as outside it is the fiddler of the antichrist who plays so that you may feel yourselves.

… Listen, Christian: even those from your family will not let you fast, as they will say that you will wear out. One in a thousand of you is blessed thousand times to be as perfect as John the Evangelist was.

Israel, My child, I made you children, but on what? The angels wonder that you are still wicked. The children of old wore themselves out and did not leave Me; not even for a pinhead; they did not blaspheme Me, but you have separated from Me because of a house or a rebuke. Israel, My people, do not hide from God for the wicked man; do not hide but better arm yourself, as the power that comes in you is from Me. Only if you knew, son, how much power the faith has, and fasting without sorrow and prayer made with much peace and love!

… Israel son, Israel, come closer to Me, as the time ahead of you is pagan. The world in front of you and on your right and on your left and in your back has a pagan life. All the days of the life are without celebration; they are without shame and without fear of anyone. The man has an animal life, and he eats like a wolf, grumbles like a bear, and wallows like a pig.
… Israel son, the Lord speaks to you once again; both when the day comes, and when the dark comes, when it is a day of feast or a day of fasting, you should keep it. Even if the shrew urges or hits you, you should still keep it, as if not, you will fall into judgment with Me and this deed will not be forgiven to you, the same as with the one who moved the ice pond and was not forgiven too.

… Your fathers and forefathers were fasting and you do not know as well as I know, and they were turning days of week into feasting; they chose them for the use of their life. They were choosing certain days and dedicated them for God’s honor. They were not eating on Mondays at all, nor on Wednesdays or on Fridays; however, they all eat today; even if the night were day, they would always eat and never be satisfied.

… Israel sons, a great lust comes for everyone. A lust for fasting comes to one, and a lust for eating comes to another one; a lust for heaven comes to one, and a lust for earth comes to another one; a lust for prayer comes for one and a lust for novels and movies comes to another one.
… In the time of the fathers and forefathers, all the people suffered if one went wrong; all the people suffered for the one who did not fast; for one that did not pray, all the people suffered; for one that committed fornication, all the people suffered; you should know that.
… How do you love God? Do you know how? With your right hand you worship and with your left hand you commit sin.
… What do you do? The wicked people come to you and take you to work on Sundays; they take you out of My little church and they take you where they want. Israel son, if you were strong in faith, in prayer and in fasting, no one would come to take you, as between you and the world it would be the fence of fasting and praying.

… I told you to keep away from dogs; incline your ears, as many assemblies were made against you, but you are protected. They say so to catch you. They say that they want to catch those that do not want to go to church, but they are not looking for them, but they are looking for you, who go to church. They do not prevent you from going to church, for the ruler with his wife also go to church; however, keep away from butchers, so that you may not fall into their claws. There were many martyrs who suffered and neither did they give themselves over as pray, nor did they give their shepherd over. Many assemblies were made against you, for they say that you are part of the Army of God3, not because you do not go to church, where even Ceauşescu goes; however, he goes both to the pub and to dance. You would be forced to eat meat on a day of fasting. You will be asked why you do not you eat for sweet food, and this is what you are to answer: "This is what my mother and father taught me, and this is what I teach my children, and this is written in the book and in the calendar". And if you go to church, your neighbor from there hates you because you do not do as he does.
…Sons, I let you go to your jobs but now I am sorry that I let you go, as you made your own jobs. What do you do with your money that you receive from your work? You do not do any merciful deeds and the time is coming when you will be sorry that you did not do merciful deeds; it is coming and the alms giving will be taken into consideration and you, who did not do any alms, what will you do, then? As he, who helps a poor man, helps God. Take this into consideration, as look, in Pucioasa a rich man died, and after he was buried, the news spread that he had three hundred thousand lei on H.E.C. (The House of Economy and Consignments, translator’s note.), and it was taken by the state, (When a monthly salary was one thousand seven hundred lei, r.n.) for no one could raise the money, and now he is at the customs4 of stinginess and can no longer pass.

… The citadel of Nineveh had fasted, and three quarters of souls perished by post, for all had fasted, from suckling to white hair for three days and three nights, and you should know that three thirds of the souls perished. Why? That they had no power to fast three days and three nights.
… Christian, take a good look through the cities as you will no longer see them. Look at the high towers, for you will no longer see them. Look at the shops, for you will no longer see them. I can see how you are to choose the rings with precious stones and cloths in the streets and expensive items and you will die with them into your arms.

… A place between heaven and earth is being prepared for My people, as here, on earth, everything is doomed to destruction. (See the selection topic: "The great tribulation", r.n.) You do not know that. This earth will get dry, and also the whole stalk of the plants and springs.
Give up all your members; give up, sons, although you are to suffer from this. My little children teach one another to know the signs of the end. Let the child in your arms know the signs of the end, and teach your children to know the days of fasting and do not let your neighbors hear your children crying for hunger. Let it be known by itself that today is a godly day and each one has to live spiritually. The days of fasting were not made now; the world was not created now; it is not now that the Monday was made; it is not now that the Wednesday was made; it is not now that the Friday was made.

… You do not serve Me if feasting or praying, but it is for you, son, for on the gate of heaven, not a bad hair will enter My kingdom.
