And you who fight so valiantly against abortion. One of the main ideas of your lecture will be, how can I be the doctor of the nurse and the mother? Who wishes to prove abortion, how can I be the son of Christ? Don't you forget to do more of that. Don't you forget what you want to do, as soon as you have done this thing, because you know children will be insane of it. They'll tell this thing, they'll tell that thing, they'll tell this thing, or other things. And should you have thought, how to be the doctor of our Christ? Now you are missing an occasion to speak as a doctor, because they got tired of torturing. Torturing is a very difficult task, a very heavy labor. Once I spoke with a torturer. And he asked me, what will solve when I torture you? I said, well I shall, because I feel pain. He said, what do you know about pain? You know nothing. How much do I torture you? Half an hour. I can't torture you more, because I can torture so many. You can't torture me for half an hour, and then you rest, you enjoy yourself in yourself. But I have to torture 8 hours a day, 6 hours a week, since 10 years I do this. From morning until the evening, I hear only one sound. Park! Park! Park! Park! Park! The Christ of those whom I meet, in the evening I'm like mad, tired, and I get drunk, and then I go home, and leave my wife and my children too. That is my life. Upward pains are bigger than yours. And in a certain sense, it works too. And therefore, there are only these two coffee breaks. After 2 hours, 3 hours, then you will be given a coffee, you will be given a smoke, a cigarette, if you do not get a smoke, then you will be given a cigarette too. And then you could talk to them, they just wish to enjoy themselves. And we always use this pause to speak to them. And this girl talked to me, so in the day when you meet me, you will never beat out from me, my mouth towards God, this fits with you. But when she my mouth towards you, and when you talk to me, where were you stupid girl and look at me, you are not hearing that, non-business. You should better tell us the secrets of the underground shop. And she said, I will tell you something which no girl usually says to a man, but here we are in special conditions, and I will tell you. When you meet me, and look to your hands, I do not know if anybody told you, you have such nice hands, and when you put a jewel on your wife's head, when you caress her first, she needs to caress, to receive a caresses. So why don't you use your hands for caresses? It can caresses her well, and you use it for beating. It's caressing, sir, not better than beating. You enjoy it, and she enjoys it. Then why don't you caress? I will tell you something else which no girl has ever said to a man. You have very attractive looks, and when you put a jewel on wife's head, when you give her the first kiss, kissing is something so beautiful. Your heart jumps with joy, she enjoys it, you enjoy it. It's kissing much better than swinging, than yelling, than shouting. Then why don't you kiss instead of shouting at her? He was very mad, he said, Hey, stop! Then I will stop, sir. But I will tell you one more thing, then I will finish. Have you a boyfriend? Now, every girl places her boyfriend, but mine is something entirely else. Not that he loves me. He is love. He is incarnate love. And since I know him, I also can only love. If somebody caresses me, I love him. If somebody beats me, I love him. I can only love. He gave her a box. She set it on the concrete. She hit herself on the temple. And she passed away instantly. And after a few minutes, she came back to herself. She saw him sitting quietly in the chair, and saying, You stupid work. What does it mean to have a boyfriend of yours? And what will you do? He smiled. I said to him, Look, I will tell you something. He smiled. I told him, I did actually listen. Caressing, caressing, is much more pleasant than beating. She understood. I never thought about it. He said, He is right. And kissing is better than beating and shouting at somebody else. And you stupidly, in beating and in shouting, instead of caressing, there is a boyfriend of yours, who told you this. She told him the name of her boyfriend. I did not tell him the name. You must guess it yourself. But she told him the name of the boyfriend. Then he said, How can I make him to be my friend too? Then she said, You must repent of your sins. You must be born again. If you do this, what we can see in such conditions, that you must be baptized. What does it mean to be baptized? You have to enter in water with somebody else. He will dip you under the water and you will see the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. Then baptize me. She said, I can't baptize. It was not true. In such conditions, everybody can baptize, even a child. But she said, I can't baptize. The most amazing thing happened. He took out his revolver. Pointed the revolver at her and said, You better baptize me or I will shoot you. He conceived exactly what Jesus had said. Unless you think what Jesus had said, that some things the kingdom of God may vary. He reached to enter the kingdom of God and he did not shoot a couple of people for this. He reached to enter and he dragged her to a pool which was there somewhere and threw her into the water. He also entered and she baptized him. And it was a real conversion. He reached to be baptized with his life in the name of Christ.
