A Blessed and Glorious face

Simon Murphy from Australia sends this testimony:

On March 8th, 2001 I saw Vassula at the Croatian Club in Adelaide during her latest Australian visit. I had known about Vassula and the messages she receives from God and had previously read some of her books. I had also heard that sometimes people see the face of Our Lord in place of Vassula at some of her talks. During the evening I was actually wondering what this would be like but found myself distracted from Vassula’s messages so I said a little prayer to God to NOT give me this vision so that I could concentrate on the message of her talk. This worked and God gave me the grace to be able to concentrate on what she was saying.

I listened keenly for the next hour or so, impressed by both the messages and the messenger and without any distractions thinking about “signs”. As Vassula was speaking about Unity & reverence for Our Blessed Mother, I suddenly saw Vassula’s face change into that of a man with a sandy coloured full beard & moustache. This was only for a split second but it send a shiver up my spine and gave me great joy! I prayed a prayer of thanks to the Lord for this unexpected gift in what I’m sure was a vision of his Blessed and Glorious face! I wondered why a sinner such as me should be graced with such a gift but have none-the-less accepted this gift from God a special Grace which confirms my belief in the authenticity of Vassula’s messages.

I offer this testimony to encourage others to read and believe the messages and thus be converted and saved. Also, late in her talk, I also saw Vassula’s face change into that of a woman, apparently about mid 30’s in age and wearing a veil, but I did not recognise who it was. This “vision” happened about 4 times within about 10 minutes and varied from a second or so up to about 6 seconds. I didn’t recognise it as a “vision” like the one of Jesus though and I’m still wondering who it was. I have since learned (Message of Sept 30, 1993, Notebook 68) that Our Lady’s face has also been seen to replace Vassula’s and now I’m wondering if this is what happened to me? If it was Our Lady then I’m afraid I didn’t recognise her (not that I’ve ever seen her but the woman’s face I saw wasn’t the same as Vassula’s but didn’t look like any picture of Our Lady I’ve ever seen either) so I thought maybe that’s why I saw it more than once? (God was maybe giving me ample opportunity to see and recognise because maybe I wasn’t “catching on” quick enough!).

Anyway, I feel blessed to have been at Vassula’s talk and seen these wonders and I feel renewed in my faith now and look forward to the future with genuine hope & trust in God.
