The Lord has welcomed his faithful messenger, Vassula to himself to reward her with a crown of Eternal Bliss. She is with the Lord in the heavenly court surrounded by saints and angels.

Therefore on the one hand we rejoice for her sake, on the other hand, we as human beings associated with Vassula experience the pain of loss of our leader and guide.

I can understand the deep pain and unmeasurable loss you are experiencing, because you were like a shadow in Vassula’s life and mission. I convey my cordial condolence to you and assure you that you are in my prayers these days.

I am grateful to God that the association with Vassula and the TLIG my own spiritual life and episcopal ministries were sustained and enhanced. I am deeply grateful to you also for your constant support, assistance and love. I am sure that the pleasant memories of the past will keep me spiritually united with TLIG and you.

May the Prince of Peace grant you the needed strength and inner peace!

With much love and prayers,

+Felix Toppo, S.J. Archbishop Emeritus of Ranchi
