The Nuptial Chamber of my Heart

This testimony was received just yesterday:

I wanted to share my story of how True Life in God has affected my life.

At the age of 23 back in 1993 I was given a tape of Vassula to watch. When I watched her I thought that she could have been a sister of Jesus so similar was she to pictures I had seen and as I watched and listened I recognised that it was Jesus that was animating and expressing himself through her. It was a time in my life when I had turned from God but wanted to come back as I was suffering a terrible internal desolation. After watching Vassula’s videotape I had the encouragement to return to the sacraments. I quickly bought up the first seven volumes and couldnt tear myself away from them. They were truly the nourishment that I needed to just continue living and “warm me up” because though many people love me I just couldnt feel it, it wasnt enough.

I had to work through some issues that seemed impossible to me but as God has proved to me nothing is impossible to God. I have shared the volumes with lots of people with varying responses. It shocked and dissapointed me that the priests were the ones who coldly discredit the writings without even reading them often. When people reject these writings I feel so sad and I take it deep into my heart because I feel I owe my very life to these writings. They infused hope into me at a very critical time and they continue to encourage me countless times.

I live in Australia, rural NSW and I can verify that many parts of Australia are a desert in more ways than just physically. Many devout Catholics and protestant groups are rejecting the spirit with a false piety saying that it is prudence. The catholics say that it must be approved by the church and close their ears and hearts, my other friends don’t understand the mystical manifestations nor Our Lady and the importance of the Eucharist. I had difficulty getting further volumes of True Life in God for about five years as the former supplier stopped stocking them. Finally my family has caught up with technology and we have a computer and go on-line. The first thing I do is look up Vassula and now I subscribe to the forum. I unite my prayers to the various petitions and the various stories posted really encourage me.

I wanted to tell you the latest gift from these writings to me before I forget because they are so many. One evening I was sitting at the computer terminal reading “I would like to take you into the Nuptial Chamber of my Heart”. I was truly touched but I couldn’t accept that so much love was intended for me, and bemused I told Jesus so. Our Lord was insisting as I read the following words: “…but all of you; come now; why the trembling? Have I not espoused you to Myself with a ring?…”

Well see Lord, what ring? I dont have any ring. So I kept reading
not many words more when my six year old daughter came up to me and

placed a “cheezel” on the computer desk. (It is a cheese snack in the shape of a ring). I thanked her absentmindedly and it was already crunched up and halfway down my throat when I realised it was a ring!

Heather said so lovingly to me “I saved this for you. I kept it locked
in my jewelery box for you. Do you like it?”. Cheezels have always
been my favorite snack and as a child I remembered a game I would play

when we would put the rings on our fingers and say who we would marry. I would impetuously declare that I would marry Jesus.

All this came back to me and I felt my heart so sweetly and cleverly abducted – what can I say? I heard Jesus say to me humourously something like: “You have just eaten my proposal – does that mean you accept?” It was a very special lesson in accepting His Love for me and not blocking it.

God Bless Vassula and everyone involved in True Life in God. Cheradee
