My name is One and I am the One, the Unique in having created everything. All things have been made by Me and all return to Me. O Jesus! You are the Messiah by My command, and you create from clay what has a shape like a bird by My permission, and you revive the dead by My word.

So be one who beseeches Me and one who fears Me, and apart from Me seek no sanctuary except toward Me. O Jesus! I showed you tenderness through mercy until you became worthy of My friendship because you sought My pleasure. Thus, you were blessed when old and you were blessed when young wherever you were. I bear witness that you are My servant, son of my handmaid. Let Me into your soul as your foremost regard, and make the remembrance of Me the means to your return.

Draw near to Me through the supererogatory deeds, and trust in Me that I may suffice for you, and do not trust in any other than Me, so that I abandon you. O Jesus! Be patient with calamities and be content with the decree. Be in such a way that I will be happy with you, because what pleases Me is obedience without sin. O Jesus! Enliven the remembrance of Me by your tongue, and let there be love for Me in your heart. O Jesus!

Wake up at the hours of neglecting and give your decisions for my sake with subtle wisdom. O Jesus! Be one who beseeches and fears Me, and let your heart die in awe of Me. O Jesus! Be vigilant through the night seeking My pleasure, and thirst through your day for the day when you are in need of Me. O Jesus! Compete with others by doing good as hard as you can so that you will be well known for good wherever you go. O Jesus!

Judge among my servants though My counsel and establish My justice for I have given you a cure for hearts against satanic disease. O Jesus! Do not associate with anyone infatuated [with the world]. O Jesus! Indeed I say, no creature believed in Me without becoming humble to Me, and no creature became humble to Me without seeking My requital; so bear witness that such a one is secure from My punishment unless he changes or alters My norm. O Jesus, son of the Virgin Lady!

Weep for yourself with the weeping of one who bade goodbye to his home, deserted this world, and left it to the worldly so that he became one beseeching what is with his God. O Jesus!
