TLIG YOUTH CHOIR
TLIG YOUTH CHOIR
The youth from TLIG Children Choir met with Vassula in Switzerland and they are sharing their experience of God’s Love poured out through the Messages of True Life in God. Children were invited to sing during TLIG meeting in Dietikon (Switzerland) in April 2023. The lyrics of the songs are all taken from the Message of True Life in God.

My name is Iuliana, I am 29 years old and I’m from Romania. I would like to share with you my testimony, the way God changed my life through The Messages.
I was raised in an orthodox family. My parents raised me to be a good Christian. My dad had many problems in his life and his only hope and comfort was The Lord. He sought after God for 30+ years, reading a lot and visiting different churches, to discern which one is the ‘good’ one.
I remember praying since I was a little girl, but throughout the years, my prayers became lip-service and I thought I had a very good relationship with God, when in fact I was a hypocrite. I was saying that I was a Christian, yet I was sinning a lot. I was selfish, cold, perverted, numb to other’s sufferings. Only now I realize how God must have been near me when I was ignoring Him. I wish I would’ve come near Him sooner.
During my school years, most of my time was spent studying, and I lost my relationship with my parents. I was mad at dad and I did not talk to him for 10 years, besides ‘hello’ and him trying to impose on me his faith.
In 2011 something weird happened. I started to have anxiety, depression and a whole list of other symptoms. The scariest part was that the doctors didn’t know what I had,because my symptoms were so strange. I tried to go to the psychotherapist, but problems were still persisting, because I didn’t have God in my heart.
Now about The Messages. Somewhere between 2014-2015, dad, being fed up with the Orthodox Church, wanted to go to the Protestants. Before he made his decision though, he asked God: “Please, Lord, send me a prophet of Yours that talks to You nowadays”. God immediately made him discover dear Vassula on the internet. So God stopped dad in time before he lost his way and made him understand unity.
He tried to convince me and mom that the Messages were true but I simply thought he was crazy and that he should not read something like that, lest he gets tricked by ‘a wolf in sheep’s clothing’.
One day, I was tired of this ‘Messages talk’. I said ‘let me go on the internet and find proof that Vassula is a liar and to prove once and for all to dad that he’s wrong and is being mislead’. To my surprise, all the articles against Vassula seemed ridiculous and I didn’t believe them. So, driven by curiosity (and of course, God), I started to try to read the Messages and at first I felt joy. My impurity was at work though, because I found the way Jesus spoke to Vassula and their relationship to be so inappropriate, that I put the Messages away for a while. I read them on and off.
I reached a dark point in 2017 when I thought about suicide. But God never gave up on me. Immediately He put His Words in my mind: if I commit suicide, I’ll betray the Lord, because the most amazing gift that He gave us is life. My dark thoughts stopped at that moment. After a month or so, part of my gastritis was healed by the Lord and I was off medication, after 7 years.
Still, my psychological disorder progressed and my anger towards the Lord persisted because I thought He punished me.
In 2018, God converted me to a true life in Him. For a couple of weeks, He made me feel His presence and He made me think about all the sins I‘ve done, when I thought I didn’t have many. I became very close to Jesus. I went to confession after a long time. I started going to church, and dad brought me to the Catholic Church too, because God showed us in the Messages that we have to be one flock. I started feeling compassionate about others, I started acknowledging and praying to Our Lady, I felt like my personality changed. Last but not least, God repaired my broken relationship with my dad in a matter of minutes. Our family was one again. I felt that somehow, the Messages are alive. It’s like every time you read them ,something in your soul or life changes. Probably that’s why they say that The Word of God is alive.
Fast forward to present day, since 2018 the Lord performed other miracles: after my first general Confession and receiving Holy Communion, my depression disappeared and after a while, anxieties started to vanish one by one. Plus, one of the most precious things He taught me (besides loving Him,of course) is how to suffer and the incredible importance of suffering. I was ALWAYS mad at Him for having ‘taken’ my life away from me when in fact, He gave me my life back, a true life in Him. To this day, although my psychological disorders diminished, my bodily illness is still there and He gives me incredible strength, support and love to be able to carry the Cross further. I still have a ton of things to learn, I rebel against my Cross sometimes, but He is always there for me, teaching me- we, us?
For anyone reading this who is suffering from psychological disorders or any suffering, know this- turn to God, go to a general, truthful Confession (my Confessions of before didn’t help me much because I was superficial) and then every month, like the Lord advises, receive Him as often as possible and turn all your life to Him. He will become your best Friend and your everything. Know that your suffering, when offered to the Lord, becomes priceless. And for anyone who doubts these Messages, pray to the Lord from the bottom of your heart for discernment and He will show you the truth.
All Glory be to God and His Blessed Mother and may Vassula and all who work with her be blessed!

I would like to share with you, what I would call: the beginning of a conversion of heart.
A little about me. I am a life-long Catholic, and although I attended Church regularly all my life, in the past few years I was slowly drifting away in my relationship with Jesus. Basically, I never lost my faith, but I stopped placing God as first in my life, and so I drifted further and further away from God and His ways.
So last year, at a very low point in my life, I stumbled upon the True Life in God messages. (of course, now I believe all this was by the grace of God). After, what I believe was my «Day of Purification», I was slowly able to understand the messages as being completely non-sensational and all-spiritual.
After my purification, I started to recall some moments/situations from my past and felt strong remorse for them, even things that happened maybe over a decade ago or even longer, things I would never have thought before to be actual sins, but I felt strong remorse for them. Soon after this, I felt a strong urge to go to confession, and so I did.
Ever since this occurrence, I have had a very strong thirst for the Word of God, and for the TLIG messages themselves, a thirst that seems unquenchable. I have already read the TLIG messages a few times, completely through, and now I am reading the Bible completely from beginning to end. The TLIG messages do satisfy this thirst the most, but I feel that even if I would read them 10 times it would not be enough.
My life has not changed, exteriorly speaking, although my passions of the past, about earthly/carnal things, are emphatically, much diminished. I attend Mass, as always, every Sunday, but now I partake in the Eucharist at every Mass, rather than for only a few weeks after Easter or Christmas, as I always use to do. In addition, I now feel more willing to go to confession, I do so every month, instead of being reluctant and going just twice a year, as I did before. I now pray the rosary daily, which I never did before. I also am learning to pray ceaselessly, and have recently started to evangelize around my community by sharing with others the TLIG Messages. And although I do still sin, I now seem to be more aware of my sins, and I’m also sincerely trying my best, in every moment, to follow God’s commandments of love.

Sobre los escritos de la VVeD y su aprobación eclesiástica
Queridos lectores de la Verdadera Vida en Dios:
Recientemente atrajo mi atención que una página web, desprovista de de todo respaldo, apoyo o autorización de la Iglesia, y dirigida por un anónimo no teólogo, ha publicado numerosas declaraciones falsas sobre el Magisterio de la Iglesia Católica y los mensajes de la Verdadera Vida en Dios de la Sra. Vassula Rydén».1
Para obtener claridad sobre este asunto, me puse en contacto con Su Excelencia el Obispo Toppo quien, el 25 de abril de 2018, me proveyó de las siguientes respuestas, que revelan de forma contundente las falsedades publicadas en dicho sitio web no autorizado.
Las respuestas del obispo Toppo son de gran utilidad para los cristianos de todo el mundo, que continúan recibiendo enseñanza y alimento espiritual de los mensajes de la Verdadera Vida en Dios.
+ Rev. J.L. Iannuzzi, STD
26 de abril de 2018
Entrevista escrita con Su Excelencia el obispo Bishop Felix Toppo, S.J., D.D.
P. Joseph: Excelencia, con respecto a la página web no autorizada2 hay una declaración pública que afirma lo siguiente:
«El nihil obstat y el imprimatur no fueron solicitados de acuerdo con las disposiciones del Derecho Canónico. Aunque Vassula nunca residió en las Filipinas ni el primer volumen de los mensajes de la VVeD se publicó allí, el imprimatur fue concedido por un obispo de ese país (el arzobispo Argüelles de Lipa). El Canon 824 §13 establece que el permiso o la aprobación para publicar debe ser otorgado por el ordinario local (= obispo) del autor o del editor.”
Evidentemente, esta afirmación es falsa, ya que el Canon 824 §13 establece claramente que «el ordinario del lugar donde se publican los libros» está investido con la autoridad para otorgar el Imprimatur a una obra que circula en su diócesis aunque el autor no viva en su diócesis.
ObispoToppo: «Le agradezco mucho por señalar las falsas críticas aparecidas en (http://www.pseudomystica.info/tlignihilobstat.htm) contra el Arzobispo Argüelles de Lipa y yo, con respecto al Imprimatur y Nihil Obstat dados por nosotros a la VERDADERA VIDA EN DIOS”.
En respuesta a las falsas críticas contra nosotros, me gustaría decir que el arzobispo Argüelles de Lipa no fue en contra del Derecho Canónico, al dar el Imprimatur al libro de la VVeD, ya que el Derecho Canónico otorga permiso a cualquier obispo para dar el Imprimatur a un libro que circule en su diócesis, aunque que el autor no habite en su diócesis «.
P. Joseph: Gracias por su respuesta. Permítame pedirle también que comente la siguiente afirmación, dada en el mencionado sitio web:
«El Canon 830 §2 advierte al censor que cualquier favoritismo debe ser dejado de lado, y sólo la doctrina de la Iglesia propuesta por el Magisterio debe ser considerada. Este canon fue descaradamente ignorado … El obispo Toppo de la India es un participante regular en las peregrinaciones de la VVeD y ha declarado que cree que los mensajes son de origen sobrenatural».
Obispo Toppo: «Se alega que yo, el obispo Toppo, S.J., usé el favoritismo al dar el Nihil Obstat. Es absolutamente falso. No mostré ningún favoritismo, ni se puede demostrar lo contrario. Cabe señalar que la CDF nunca condenó los escritos de la VVeD, sino que solicitó aclaraciones que luego fueron aceptadas por Roma.
Antes de dar el Nihil Obstat a los mensajes de la VVeD, los leí muchas veces y medité en ellos. El Nihil Obstat es el resultado de una revisión teológica imparcial y libre de toda coacción de los escritos de la VVeD. Descubrí que los Mensajes eran inmunes a todos los errores teológicos. Soy un participante regular de las peregrinaciones de la VVeD. El Derecho Canónico no prohíbe a ningún obispo asistir a retiros o conferencias de aquellos individuos cuyos escritos considere inmunes al error»
P. Joseph: Por último, Excelencia, ¿sería tan amable de proporcionar a los lectores de la Verdadera Vida en Dios una respuesta a la siguiente publicación en dicho sitio web, ya que sugiere falsamente que un asesor canónico anula su autoridad episcopal para pronunciarse en asuntos de la Doctrina de la Iglesia?
«Monseñor Toppo dijo en una entrevista que, antes de dar el Nihil Obstat a los libros de Vassula, previamente había pedido la opinión de un famoso experto en Derecho Canónico, el cual claramente le dijo que de acuerdo con el Derecho Canónico, el obispo no podía dar el Nihil Obstat».
Obispo Toppo: «Se alega que antes de dar el Nihil Obstat al libro de Vassula, dije en una entrevista que había pedido la opinión de un famoso experto en Derecho Canónico que claramente me había dicho que no podía dar el Nihil Obstat. Después de que un obispo haya consultado con otros para obtener consejo, conserva su autoridad para otorgar el Nihil Obstat. Algunos afirman lo contrario, pero esto es absolutamente falso. Después de consultar con un abogado canónico y un teólogo de renombre que ofrecieron sus respectivos consejos, llevé el asunto a la oración ante la Eucaristía. No encontré nada en el libro de Vassula que fuera contrario a las enseñanzas de la Iglesia, sino más bien encontré que contiene mucho de bueno para la Iglesia universal, es decir, p
