You are the Creator, the greatest Artist, the Writer that is writing beautiful pages

This testimony is taken from the website discussion list:

Dear Lord Jesus Christ, Eternal Father and Holy Spirit, all glory to You!

Oh! May You be blessed dearest treasures! I was dead, so soon dead. Should I say in agony? All my life, I was called by You. All my life, though I was dead, offending You, my heart was a cold stone, I was filled with desire of self-realisation, proud to shame, even through that, You kept me near You. You came to me every month and I was joyous at your gifts but did not praise You for You.

My dear Father, You took care of me, but I soon turned my gaze away from you and the little flower I was, died so soon You only remember well who I am. It did not take that long dear Father, You searched me and found me. You brought me to Yourself and healed me. I saw my God! Dear Jesus, I saw you in others, I felt you, I fell in love with you while by Your Divine Will I went to the WYD. Grace upon grace, You gave me though I was unworthy and still proud. At your glance, I changed. If people would understand the miracle they would say: glory to God! Little purifications You gave me and my ancient temptation came again: suicide. Grace for the one who can take it. My dear Lord, You gave me a sister that soon changed my thoughts. My Jesus, by Your Grace I met You. I met with a living God, I met with Life! A Spouse, a friend.

I don’t remember how, my dear Lord but You made me go to a french site with all the text of True Life in God. I began to read My Angel Daniel but I soon put it away. First I thought it was an AMerican, and I knew it was irrational (and not kind)… Second, it was talking about attacks. My dear Lord, the problem was, I could find no error in it all. One other time, some months after, I returned on the site so I began to read again. I didn’t stop at My Angel Daniel, I continued. Oh! Jesus, I knew there were angels, You taught me about it once and I believed. But then, You came and I did recognize You. Discernment was not needed any more, it was You! You that I knew by grace!

Oh! Jesus. Somewhere, You gave me a grace before reading True Life in God. You said to me, Je vais t’envelopper de Ma Bonté et de Ma Miséricorde (I will envelop You in My Goodness and My Mercy) and You did! In the morning, I was enveloped as You did for Vassula, in Your Passion (I think). Nothing I did could influence this grace. A few weeks before Christmas, I was reading True Life in God and still discerning, and I read and I read. I thought I was crazy, that it was all one other world… I didn’t know but You knew! You consoled me, I read the Way of the Cross and I believed still because it was truth! From them on, I never doubted again.

Jesus, I don’t remember the months after that but I remember I read, read, read. What was Annick doing? Reading True Life in God! Then, in April, I went to the meeting in Toronto. I remember, Jesus, thinking: Here is one prophet of God! I didn’t look at her too much because it is You that we must glorify. On that day, I had so much grace I did not need to convince my parents I was happy! I was not good, nor perfect and I knew nothing (as now) but You gave me the memory to recall what You wanted. Jesus, months have passed and different difficulties. Ah! There is a time I thought suffering was my daily bread but it was soon gone until You permitted that I should suffer again for You from persecution (the only suffering that counts for me). Grace, still, after grace. Through my uncle too who is converted by TLIG too.

But here came a time, my Jesus, it was yesterday, You know. I was away from You and not suffering from it… No, that’s not true, I desired You but that was my only suffering. I was away, confused because I lacked of virtue and simplicity. I wanted to do this and it was wrong, I wanted to that, and it was wrong too. Why? Not pure intentions, maybe? It took several weeks, even two month but today I AM healed. How Jesus? You know… I read this morning the first messages You gave to Vassula and it changed all. It is simple to serve You. You are not too far, You are very near, in us and with us. You do not demand big things, You only demand love, together with good will…

Oh God, that You may bring all Your children to read the pages You have written with Vassula! … May You convert people, bring them to You! We all need You. Lead all Christians safely to You, in You. Make me live with Mary a true life in You. Please have pity! Marathana!

I ask You, God, to bless us all and bring us to You, when we are far and near. Give us humility until the end. Give us You, the Fire, that we may be consumed with zeal for Your Church! May unity come.

Jesus, Holy Father and Holy Spirit, I wanted to give You thanks too for action… You are the Creator, the greatest Artist, the Writer that is writing beautiful pages in two ways… May they be never forgotten.

Help me to pray Jesus and be always near to You, simple and true.

All for the Glory of God!

Love,
Annick
