The Word of God 1 at the feast of the saint hierarch Spyridon 2
In tears and weak in the spirit like a man, I step on My way to you, for the way is with
weaknesses in it, My people. I want to catch power, but I work on the earth after human power,
because I do not work without man. When I was carrying My cross, it was hard for Me, just as
hard as it is for a man, because I was carrying it for man, because the man was not carrying his,
and it was very hard for Me, but when I was thinking for those who were greatly oppressed,
greatly crushed for My pain, I could do it for them, and My mercy for them was giving Me
powers and it was strengthening Me greatly, because the mercy is God and man’s greatest
power, and it is a spring for the comfort of the pain. I come to embrace you within the feast of
My saint, the bishop Spyridon, and I give him to you as an example for your life with Me, for
he was forgiving, merciful and very faithful, and he spent in him with the grace of the power of
faith and of its works, because only I was able to do it and I was living in him by the love and
by the power of his faith. The way of My word is weak and feeble, but I give you exhortation
by My bishop. Receive, son, and sit down near the love of the saints and make within you a
dwelling place of their power and of the work of the faith, My people. Amen, amen, amen.
– You, Lord, are the spring of the mercy for those who with pains and weaknesses work
on earth Your coming and the news of Your coming and Your coming upon man. I give exhor-
tation to Your people and I tell it this: do not forget and do not get so mixed up with the day
and its work, people of the Lord’s mercy. Do not get entangled with any kind of work that you
do and by so doing to forget about the Lord’s exhortation that are put upon you and for you.
Oh, not in this way, for the Lord teaches you, and you, as a disciple and more than that, as a
son, you need to listen to your Father, to His entire word. Take care of your life; of your life
with the Lord, and make Him feel from you that you have Him as your God, and be wise so that
you may know what kind of work God’s sons must do on earth. Learn the work of love, people
of the Lord’s coming; learn it well, and receive its lesson from the Scriptures, and do not take
away it from you, but rather receive it from the place where it is kindled. Remember always,
always the work of the love, son from the end, that the Lord needs this and not you. You have
to be the Lord’s servant in His days with you and not the Lord has to be your servant. Behold,
the Lord has always served you by His mercy that he has got upon you, so that you may have
what you need for your life on earth, but be with your heart full of gratitude and live like a
merciful and faithful son in His courtyards and give Him a heavenly service and see how you
stay in the work of the love, so that you may have faith and then steadfastness, people of the
Lord’s mercy. Ask from Him always, always. Ask Him that which He has promised to give you
and you to give Him, because He has promised to give you and you to give Him life without
death, restless love. You should be heaven on earth for the Lord’s works written into the Scrip-
tures for His time with you, for His coming is with you, but do not get used to it, but rather stay
with the shy of a son before Him and serve Him with the gifts of the burning love, the same as
His female disciples were serving to his way to the people, and they had kept on serving Him
even after His resurrection, and for His resurrection they stood up with a great longing, with
great faith, with the love of a bride and having no rest in their sacrificing and burning love in
them day and night, and their fire was keeping them in the Lord and it was feeding His mercy
and it was giving Him powers for the man’s life, for whom He suffered under the cross and
overcame for man. I exhort you, blessing you with a desire of a bishop, to stir up within you the
