The Clergy and Vassula with His Holiness Pope Tawadoros II of Alexandria and Head of the Coptic Orthodox Church

– by Fr. Rolf Schönenberger

There is much we could say on this subject. We would like to discuss it on the basis of some of the messages Jesus has given us in the Writings of “True Life in God”.

Jesus Himself appointed Vassula as the prophetess of the end times. She did not make that stance by herself. It is a God-given mission, a calling that she never sought for herself. She refused to accept this mission because she would not have been capable of carrying it out.
It is a mission from God for which HE Himself takes responsibility.

There have been many women in the Church who had a prophetic mission for the Church of their time. However, never to such an extent as Vassula. Her mission applies to the entire Church of Christ, under one shepherd: Peter-of-His-lambs. It applies to these end of times, whether we want to hear it or not: God wants to renew His entire Church and world.
He is the author of everything and has chosen an instrument that many in the Church do not like. God is so different from us humans. He chooses whom He wants, mostly very imperfect people, whom He prepares for years for a specific task and gives them to the Church. Of course, the freedom of the individual is always there. God wants our free yes‘ to His plans; everything else comes from Him. He gives all help and carries out His mission through an imperfect person whom He has chosen. In our case, Vassula Rydén.

Her mission on earth is fulfilled, therefore He has called her to Him. From heaven, she will continue her mission in a different way, so that everything God has announced in the writings (messages) “True Life in God” may become reality.

Jesus founded only one church on earth. He wants all Christian churches to be reconciled under Peter and gathered around one altar to celebrate the Holy Eucharist. In these end of times, He has called Vassula as a sign of unity so that His will may finally be fulfilled and the Heavenly Jerusalem may at last take root on earth.

With the help of some of the passages within the Messages given by Jesus (in True Life in God), we will gain a deeper understanding of her mission; we can only thank God for this calling that God has given to the Church with Vassula.

Feast Of The Guardian Angels – October 2, 1995:

… come now, in the power of My Spirit, I am sending you Daniel, your guardian angel; ic;

(My angel speaks:)
I, Dan, bless you; Sign of Unity , remain faithful to the Lord; grow in Him and in no one else; alone Yahweh is good; pray to be fortified so that in the Lord you may draw strength to revive His House and accomplish your mission ; I will always guard you, forever I shall guide you; your Daniel;
Daniel your guardian angel guarding you;

unite those lines,

to unite you must all bend; you must be all willing to bend by softening;

(I understood. He gave me a clear and simple vision of three iron rods; they were upright, close to each other. He said, “How could their heads 1 meet, unless they all bend?” Later on in the morning I went out. The more I was thinking of this vision the bigger the mountain‘ appeared. It was stifling …)

Jesus?

I am; courage, up pupil! lift! lift My Cross beloved, up now! grieve not; together … together … My Vassula, together we will strive, lean on Me when you are weary and let Me lean on you when I am weary, meet Me, let Me accomplish My desires, be like soft wax and let My Hand engrave on you My words; be willing, do not fear! I love you beloved, O come! Love will not hurt you;

(I’m fearing this work.)
come, let us pray,
“O Father,
be with me until the end,
I am weak;
give me Your Strength to glorify You,
amen”

beloved, come, leave your fears and hear Me; wait upon your God; I want to unite My Church;
Vassula, I have trained you to receive Me, beloved, courage!
I need Your courage, I have none.
I will encourage you and will reinforce your love to Me, all for My Glory;
Vassula, will you write down My words, sip from Me; do not seek comfort, be poor, be like Me when I was in flesh on earth; be plain so that we both feel the contrast and the grandeurs of those that scourge Me, let Me feel the contrast! be drawing from My Heart, embellish My Church, draw from My Heart and you will understand, My little girl;

September 9, 1988

Lord, I trust You. What I have learnt, I learnt from You only. But Lord, many ecclesiastics are mocking me, they refuse to believe it’s You. They push away Your Works, the visions of children, apparitions, revelations. All are trodden upon. They want You SILENT. Please, do not stand aside, My God. Come quickly to us and help us, Lord our Saviour! Lord?

I am; Vassula, My advice for those who oppress you is, “unless you become like children again, you will be unable to penetrate into My Kingdom”; My child, the time will come when every vision will be proclaimed as true; I have said, that there will be no empty vision, no deceitful prophecy in My Church; what I said, will soon come true, since what I pronounce I will fulfil in your own lifetime;

Thank You, Lord.

we, us?

Forever, amen.

Vassula of My Sacred Heart; would it please were I to say: Vassula of the Pantocrator? you are dedicated under My Name; I am One and the Same, but men have parcelled Me out;
he who sows division reaps a harvest of destruction; he who sows prejudice reaps a harvest of folly; …

My Names are Holy, but men have patronised Me and have expelled Me from My Own House, My Own City and now from My Own Sanctuary: they are oppressing Me and weighing heavily on Me; overweening with pride, they are content to live in a desert; but I mean in these coming days to display the Holiness of My Great Name which is, because of your division, profaned;
I tell you, daughter, do you see how your people are living undisturbed and in an appalling lethargy when it comes to work for unity? I will allow no more of this; I am going to reach out My Hand even to the remotest parts of your nation and overthrow these traders that hinder My people to unite; I have raised you to be a sign of unity, a sign of My Mercy, a sign of My Power, but the passions of their ostentatious pride has turned them blind; …

… in My Mercy and for the sake of My Love I will raise from the East at least one, who will say to his brother: “come and tread on my ground; come and eat from my table, come and drink with me; my vats are overflowing with new wine; let us pasture our lambs together and make an Eden of our pastures; our God! see what our hands have made out of Your Sanctuary!”
My House in the West is being plundered; I had asked them to assemble under Peter, but they have not understood and are doing the contrary; many from within that House are saying: “why is it that we have to have a guide, especially this guide?” I had warned you that cardinals will turn against cardinals, bishops against bishops and priests against priests; I selected Peter to feed and guard My lambs but the spirit of rebellion, thriving now, has reached its peak of rebellion; this was the great Tribulation I was warning you of; …

…. and you, daughter, shout My Message aloud and prophesy, say: I know all about My House in the West bank, near the River of Life and I know too who in this House remained loyal to Me;
listen and write: glory will shine from the Eastern bank; that is why I say to the House of the West: turn your eyes towards the East; do not weep bitterly over the Apostasy and the destruction of your House; do not panic, for tomorrow you will eat and drink together with My shoot from the Eastern bank; My Spirit will bring you together; have you not heard that the East and West will be one kingdom? have you not heard that I shall settle for one date?
what I have planned shall happen;

We see that Jesus Himself has trained Vassula to be a prophetess (Messenger) without any merit on her part. He has made her what she is today: a prophetess for the end of times and a sign of unity for all Christian churches under one shepherd, so that they may bow their heads, reconcile with one another, and gather together around one table to celebrate the Holy Eucharist.
