We have just received the news of Vassula’s peaceful return to Jesus early this morning. How glorious indeed will be the rejoicing in heaven, for sure!

She has completed her mission — in shortly under 40 years — that spans a whole generation and even two. We are, one and all, the beneficiaries of that faithful mission! We will of course, miss her presence and inspiring leadership, who would not?… She has been a spiritual ’tower’ of strength, and a joy for all of us who have been privileged to know her and be moved to greater earnestness in our faith because of her.

We pray for Fabian and his brother, and all her family who mourn her. May Vassula continue to pray for us within the company of all the saints, as we pray for her!
