Sminthos. March 25th, 16 08

Thus says the Lord, Who sees the hidden and knows the meaning of all things: people focus only on their earthly life, they are completely involved in it, but they don't know that their essence of itself is not materia, but soul. After death, when they come out of their body, which was like clothing for them, they are horrified by what they see. They rethink their whole life, and many of them understand that real holiness is to live by Me... Many of ascetics or those who lived their bodily life in its effusive emotions understand, that I am neither of these lifestyles. Everything that a person does living on Earth concerns him personally. That is why I not always intervene in their world. That is why wars, cruelty, idleness and arrogance may stay unpunished. How is it possible to please Me then? By living with Me and not hiding from Me in your feelings and worries, sharing with me your joy and grief, not running away from Me as Adam did, when he broke the covenant of obedience and hid among the Eden's trees. I allowed his fall for him to be with Me not only in holiness and righteousness, but also to come to Me in difficult time. Do understand it! I am God, whose essence is much higher than the essence of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Ascetics blame those who are weak in the law, but they don't know that many of them are seeking Me... Truly I say to you, they will find me even if it happens after death, but they will be with Me. But people who seem to imitate the world of angels by their outward actions are far from Me in their hearts. What do they need Me for? They think they have achieved something important. But after their death, when they abandon their body, they see that they are in spiritually distress. They are clothed in rags and their souls are not cleansed by My Spirit. They were like painted coffins. Pagans called Apollo Sminthos "god of mice" because he could penetrate into people's dwellings like a mouse and see things that are hidden from human eyes and from daylight. In the same way, I see your hidden things and it looks uncomely for you. I'm looking at you like angels, who have compassion for humiliated and forgotten ones, like those who were rejected by your society... Thus says the All-Seeing, Whose Name is much higher than any other human name, Whose Image is much higher than any other image, Whose Name is Truth. Amen.
