The Word of God
… When the Lord, Jesus Christ, went down into the hell, He stayed with His feet on the cross. That is why it is said that: the cross is the bridge. He took out from the hell, those that fell, through the cross. My little children, many of you are ashamed of the world to make this sign of the cross. If you are ashamed of the cross, you are ashamed of Me. My little children, this sign had not been made before the holy cross. This is the sign between the earth and the heaven, between the Old and the New. There has not been this sign in the old man, and many, when they saw it believed and passed from the old into the new. And many did not believe and remained with the old ones. And why do the old ones hate the new ones? The Lord Jesus did not get angry with the one, who did not believe in His coming. Son, those from the old believe in the Lord Jesus, but they do not believe in the things that He did and do not love the cross, but rather they consider it as an enemy of the Lord, Jesus, and hate it; they spit on it; they scoff at it; they slander it and this is what the Lord blames. These from the old, consider the Lord’s Mother a common woman and accuse her of fornication. You should distinguish those from among you and honor My Mother.
The cross is the bridge with which you will pass over every precipice. That is why I say to you: do not hate, so that you may not be accused; and do not even become friends with them, but rather distinguish yourselves as the darkness is distinguished from the light, as many passed and they even saw the Lord Jesus and the holy truth, and they have been deceived by those from the old, and have passed on to them. Some blame the priesthood; some blame the cross; some blame My Mother, others accuse you because you work on Saturday, and others still blame some other holy things.
… Pray incessantly; more into the middle of the night when all sleep, and fast, for the fasting that you had and the prayer that you did, took the life of many beasts, and what you will do from now on will destroy and crush many who hate you.
