This morning, we received the sad and painful news of the passing of our beloved Vassula to the heavenly embrace. While we feel the sorrow of her departure, our hope remains strong and certain that she is now resting in the arms of Jesus, alongside the righteous and the saints. and she has now become an intercessor for us in heaven. Her beautiful spirit is with us in every moment, in every prayer, and in every meeting we hold as a group of True Life in God. Today, I offered the funeral prayer for the repose of the souls of the departed, “the Trisagion,” for the rest of dear Vassula’s soul.

On behalf of myself and the True Life in God group in Syria, I extend my deepest condolences to her honorable family and to all the brothers and sisters in our community. We pray that we remain united in prayer, with the hope of meeting again in the Kingdom.

In Christ,

Father Asaad
