The Two Hearts

Prayer requests will, from now on, be copied at the end of forum mailings.
In this mailing, a poem by Fr. Luke Harris OCSO is copied. Fr Luke is a Cistercian monk from a monastery here in the UK which Vassula has visited more than once. Thanks to Catherine Keightley for forwarding this item. Catherine prefaced the item with the following: « Father Luke feels the poem might be too obsure for many but he really loves Vassula’s writings, ponders them and spreads them far and wide. »
I wrestle away with Vassula’s books in that I love reading them……. she seems to be stressing especially the Three Persons, the Sacred and Immaculate Hearts and the Holy Spirit. So maybe the title of « True Life in God » can sum it up, thus-wise.
True Life can only be the (Life-giving) Spirit, the Torrent of Living water that flows to us through the blood of the Saviour’s wounds and the tears of His Mother’s as from a double cascade…..
This I tried to put into a poem but although it got a bit obscure, I
include it here…………. The destination of this ‘Golden River’ is of
course Abba – cf end of the Apoc. « Come to the Father ». All of which,
if it makes sense, is compressed into the title « True Life in God ».
Here is the poem:
The Two Hearts
Dark the heart’s cave
Till earthblind eyes
Adjust and ear
betrays splashing
Hidden Water.
Double a Cascade
High falling, first
>From Maid’s
Immaculate heart
Far down, falling, falling
To Mercy’s Sacred Pool
Of cool, forgiving Love.
Through speared
Cleft outpoured;
And my heart’s cave
River swept, Abba-ward
By wave
of Living Water. »
PRAYER REQUEST
Pavlos Theodorou forwards the following request:
I would like to ask the TLIG community to pray for a girl who is patiently waiting her death. She is called Maria and lives in Samos, unfortunately she has cancer and the doctors cannot do anyting. They sent her home a few weeks ago and she patiently waits to die. She is only 29 years old and if there is a hope for her it could only be a miracle by the Good Lord.
