(India.)
My flower, let this earth exult, may this whole nation where I have sent you, marvel at My deeds and be filled with My graciousness; My blessings are on these people ...
in the presence now of My angels and saints I tell them: I, Jesus Christ, Son of God and Saviour, am your help and your shield; turn to Me and consider all My Commandments; learn to be upright and die to yourselves; My return is imminent; do not say, “I have no refuge;” I am your refuge and My Heart is your resting place;
since you are so precious in My sight, India, I have sent to you too My seeds[1] so that you sow them in your ground and the harvest will be rich and plentiful were you to set your heart to work the soil; and your earth will respond to the grain; then everyone will know of My Love and will respond to My Call; do not shrink back, but come to Me with prayers, I need fervent prayers from your heart for the conversion of the world; in this way I will be pleased with you;
today, you have heard My Voice[2] and I tell you: do not waver; do not harden your hearts either, for this is My Grace passing now on you;
be one in My Name;
IΧθΥS
(Later on, at 3.45 am, Jesus called me.)
tell them: what I need is love, reconciliation and a spirit of forgiveness; yes, I want them to prove their love for Me;
ic; I am with you ....

(India.)
I Am; write, My Vassula, My Words for this nation:
I give you My Peace .... let My Peace that I bequeath to you remain with you and envelop you; do not fear and do not say: “what am I to do, Lord?” India, ah, India, offer Me your heart and pray truthfully from your heart to your Saviour; your prayers will sanctify your soul and those of others; pray without ceasing and make the Evil One flee .... be united to Me, and be rooted in Me, then no one and nothing in this world will come between you and Me; My great Return is imminent;
I have come all the way to you with My Heart in My Hand, take it, India, and place My Heart in your heart; I have come with My Message; I am calling your nation to turn their hearts to God and live holy; I am God and Lord; spread My Love Hymn and make vineyards everywhere you go; cultivate your land and do not hesitate; do not fear of the tempests that may arise now and then;
I Am with you .... My Sacred Heart is your refuge, so come and consecrate yourselves and your families to Me and to the Immaculate Heart of your Mother; I, Jesus, intend to remain in your country and sanctify it; for this, I ask you all to consecrate your country to Our Two Hearts; be loyal to Me and be one in My Name;
I bless you, ah, little children;

Yahweh,
make my love so intertwined in Yours that You would say:
“welcome to My House!”
I claim that love is intertwined with Your Divine Will as well,
and that understanding Your Words alone,
is insufficient, unless we act on Them too, my Lord.
My Vassula, the shadow of death looming over your generation, a shadow that can plunge it into the deepest abyss, is covering a good part of it now; woe to those who ensconce so snugly, feeling safe now; these are the ones who play God and say: “Yahweh has no power over us”; confidently sitting on their throne they declare that none can equal them, is there any need to say more? love is missing from within them....
I will speak and you will write; pray that My sayings will clearly ring in the ears of everyone; I have entrusted you with the noblest of My Works in your times; this Divine Work is placed in your hands; yes, it so pleased Me to give It to you and place It with great affection into the hands of a mere child who would have to depend on Me entirely;
– [3]just now I do not want to make it only a passing visit from My Throne to you but give Me your time and I will receive your offer as one who receives garlands of gardenias ....
Ah, my Lord,
Your heavenly Presence
is accompanied with the most sublime fragrances;
So show me, my Lord, Your Beautiful Face,
and cover me with Your radiant Light;
Let me hear Your Voice
like a melody which is ever so sweet,
sweeter than a thousand honeycombs put together.
come then and inhale myrrh coming out of My Mouth:[4] – what is the banner I raised over you?
The banner I see raised over me is Love.
yes, love; love is above all; to love is to do My Will; it is your entry key to My Kingdom in heaven;
if you claim you are living in Me and have no love, then you cannot say you are living in Me: a true life in Me, is to be living the same kind of life as Christ lived; you have heard that it is not those who cry out to Me My Name that shall enter into My Kingdom but only those who, nourished by love,[5] are doing My Will, while they are still on earth;
tell Me, of what use is a fruit-tree which would never produce its fruit? or, of what use is a harp without its strings? in other words, of what use are to Me your praises when said without love; of what use are your sacrifices were they to be offered without love; your goal then should be love, for it is on love that in the end you will be judged and not on your eloquence of speech or on your knowledge, or on any of your sacrifices, or on the gifts that I, in My benevolence, offered you; you will be judged on the measure of your love; these charisms I offered you were so that you build the Church; let your foundation and the structure of your works and of your charisms be built on love so that you do not slacken in doing good; yes, for the good man wins My favour;
My City[6] will be raised on the Blessing of My Holy Spirit .... and the storm will be over .... then, every creature on earth will be living a true life in Me and their love will be so intertwined with My Will that their soul will become the throne of Wisdom; yes, it is to such as these that Scriptures say: “the soul of the just is the throne of Wisdom;” because in the heart that loved Me there is no lack of treasure; when My Spirit spoke through your mouth, My dove, and said: “understanding His Words is insufficient, unless we act on them;” it was so as to make you understand that failing to meet in your love with My Divine Will you will have your Great Fall;
so long as you hang on to this passing world, you will never understand that it is in My Holy Spirit that your body could be captivated, so that your thoughts would turn into noble thoughts; then in that divine nobility of thought, and in that state of divine grace, having absorbed within you the power of Divinity, in you will My Work be fulfilled and My Will be done;
and as I have said once before to you all, I say it again: a time will come, and this hour is near, that although you will be still among men, your mind will be in heaven glorifying Our Trinitarian Holiness; and although your body will be moving among men, your soul and mind, captured in My Will, filled with the nobility of My Light, will be as an angel’s, and you will find yourself walking in Eden, in Paradise among My angels and saints because your union with Me would be complete...
ah, and We would be enjoying to see Ourselves in you; you will have the image of the unseen God; We will gaze heaven[7] in you; you, who would be possessing Us, will be able to lead the kind of life which We expected of you, a life which would reach, through perfect wisdom and spiritual understanding, the fullest knowledge of My Divine Will; the life, My dearest children, you would be leading, you who were created for Our Imperial Courts, would be according to My Mind in all its aspects; I will sanctify you, and you will receive the power to become wholly devout; when all these things[8] were announced in the Message of Truth,[9] very few of you understood My Word;
today the world hears, but understands nothing, sees, but produces images that result in nothing; as for those who seem to be near My Heart and who hold the keys to My Kingdom, even they have not understood; yet, they are ardently longing to offer Me devotions, thanksgiving, treating their bodies severely, equalling those whom I crowned with the crown of glory,[10] and yet when My Divine Breath[11] blows a scent, a sweet fragrance upon you, to renew you, yes, when My Holy Spirit descends from the highest heaven putting aflame the earth as a baptismal kiss, they do their best to extinguish the Fire of My Holy Spirit; today when My Voice is audible, It frightens them out of their minds and immediately do everything in their power to subdue It;
I, who am Author of inestimable marvels, I am about to open the heavens and let you know the mystery of My purpose: the outpouring of My Holy Spirit, Who is the Promise written in Scriptures, and Who was to act upon My creation like never before in history, lifting them all the way to heaven, approaching everything on earth as near to heaven as it could be possibly done; I, Vassula, who guide all things and decide by My own Will, never broke a promise, but I am known to break down any barrier of division; this is why you should put your hopes in Me, because, as I said, I am about to shatter into smithereens, with the power and the grace of My Holy Spirit, the barriers of your division and unite you, for My honour, in a single Body; then, your generation, having come back to their senses, will cry out to Us:
“adorable Trinity!
hold our eyes captive on the One Heart
and supply our soul with what it lacks;
anoint us, O Holy and Divine Trinity,
pouring Your oil on us so that we remain
indissolubly united with You in Your Will
and prepare us for Your glorious reign
of the Kingdom on earth
in which Your Will becomes
the essence of our daily life
and the emblem on our forehead,
and Love, the banner above our heads;”
ah, My lily, your Creator tells you this, so that you go and tell My Own:
“Yahweh, my Lord and most gracious Father,
will adorn us with His Imperial Vestments,
and the earth will be adorned with the hidden treasures
He so kindly kept for our times;”
I will adorn this earth in Spring; My Spring; what is the Spring of Yahweh? My Spring, My beloved ones, will be when the whole of My creation will be shining with a brilliant light; in the baptism of the Purification you will be reformed into your first image; in this Purification everyone will aspire for a closer union of love with Me, and in ardour your hearts will search for the Truth, the Way and the Life; and in the Truth, where intoxicating savours will be tasted, your soul, endowed with My Spirit of Grace will be perfected; your image of the dark would be no more, for I, your Bridegroom and the kindest of fathers, will be shining on you;[12]
Love is on the way of return to restore His Kingdom; this will be the reign of My Kingdom on earth and My Will shall be done on earth as it is in heaven;
so now is the time of repentance; this is a wicked age but your lives should redeem it; renounce your will and find favour with Me by recognising what is My Will; ah, Vassula, blessed one of My Call, spread out My Words in rivers of Mercy and Hope; be like a lily, in this time of Lent, unmindful of self, and let your Keeper take care of you; efface yourself entirely, becoming like a fluid substance so that you can flow into Me, your God, becoming one spirit with Me ....
I, God, will meet you any hour of the day you want; call Me any time, My beloved; so raise your mind in grateful praise to Me and extol My Name thrice Holy for having given you this precious gift: an open gate to Me;
the garden of My City, state of the State,
draw with joy from Me: Life;
ah! and be consumed in My Divinity; do not allow any shadow to cross your spirit; your Lord graciously leans towards you now to dress you with the ornaments of His Love; I will increase in you, so do not give in to your weakness, saddening Me by doubting of My Goodness; embrace wholeheartedly the precious dew of divine grace that bornes your spirit in My Noble Light; you are invited by Spring Himself;
My Lord,
many great kings would give their entire Kingdom away
to receive a drop of these graces You so affectionately offered me
in Your immense and divine Love;
I would take the liberty and go on and say:
“Yes! Yes! in a moment of folly of Your Love,
You have offered me favours in abundance,
dispensing them without measure,
and on what? A mere wretch...”
but you are My chosen one! I saw in your human frailty, even then,[14] a glimpse of what was below the crust of sin, I saw under these layers of gloom, a child-like love, and My Heart upon seeing this was moved to tears; this alone captivated My Mercy; subject to sin, yet a trickle of love was flowing out of you now and then; I then said: “I will set Myself to destroy all that is not Me and revive, by putting aflame, what little is left of Me;” and in the overflowing of My saving grace I acted according to My Will;
come now, be like a flaming torch in this darkness of your era; approach Me often so that you taste My sweetness, experiencing delights in this closeness, but revere Me at the same time;
(This message was given to me with several breaks. Then, at a much later date, the message continued, all the way into the month of March, since it was not finished. This was done so because of much travelling for missions.)
March, 1998
(Continuation of previous Message.)
My Vassula, I have, together with My Son, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit been descending from Our celestial Throne of Glory in Person upon the earth, visiting you in this way to imprint on you Our Love Theme;
We put to you the duty of passing on Our divine Word to many nations and so you have done what you were asked to do; you have left house and family, comfort and land for the sake of Our Name, My dearest, and so let Me remind you the reward of renunciation: for this alone you will be repaid a hundred times over, and you inherit My Kingdom which is eternal life; daughter, on whom I confided this immense treasure, do not listen to antagonistic discussions held in My Name, be like a dove soaring in the air, above all the clamouring and tearing, so do not be distracted and disturbed by exterior things; turn your gaze to Me, remembering that I am yours and that you are Mine;
do not be displeased when you are receiving less glorious favours[15] than in the first three years, because all that is done to you is for My glorification; to preserve your humility I have done this act of Wisdom, incomprehensible to you perhaps, but My act gave you at once the freedom to come to Me, and work freely for Me; My act put you in a position where you would come to Me by your own free will, lifting your thoughts to Me, offering Me what you can; and while I would watch My Own seed giving her life as a oblation to many, relying on no one but on her Saviour who lifted her soul from the valley of death and who drew her into an intimate union in His Heart, I would be rejoicing in My seed;[16]...
now tell Me, can a man cheat God?
No, never. Wearing white[17] all the time does not make anyone holier or virtuous, or truthful.
and yet many are cheating the hearts of My children, they are cheating Me by their falsehood;[18] I tell you, when My Day comes they will be excluded from My Kingdom, on these grounds sentence is pronounced; I have given you by My grace to discern what comes from True Light and what comes from darkness, but I have let you see how many more were drawn to darkness than to Light; I have told you this so that when the time of sorting comes, you may remember all that I told you ....[19]
remember Me to your friends; your friends are My friends, My dove; tell them what their most gracious Father says: tell them that were they to remain in Me, in My Love, their joy would be complete and everything they would strive for, for My Sake, in their work, but would be unable to complete or succeed with because of their human frailty, I, as a Father, having seen their nobility of thought, I would take in consideration their good intentions for wanting to please Me; and so I, in My turn, will supply what would be lacking in them, so that many would believe in My Work and Divine Theme of Love; they would believe not because of them but in the evidence of the perfect Work that will be accomplished in My Divinity;
- [20]and you, My dove, behold the Bridegroom who lifted you and directed you by His Spirit in His calling;[21] sing a psalm to Me by saying:
Fountain of Living Water,
preserve my soul in times of trouble,
keep my soul cleaved on Your Heart,
where the Springs of Yahweh
refresh and exult every heart
that comes to rest in this inmost Centre of Love;
O behold the One who clothed Me
with His Imperial Vestments[22]
in order to draw unsparingly nation after nation
to muster round the whole Blessed Trinity in one body;
behold His infinite Graciousness,
Who delights even in my miserable heart,
as though there were no other creatures save myself;
blessed be Yahweh forever;
amen;
yes! I have given you Life in My Divinity, smouldering your imperfections; and now, joined and inseparably united to Divinity Himself, I bless you thrice in My Name; may your achievements bring prosperity to all mankind; do them in keeping My Name Holy and live at peace with everyone;
April 9, 1998
(Our Lady speaks:)
My Vassula, My Presence is Peace and Joy; yes, for I am your Mother, before your mother on earth;
I share, as a mother shares with her children, your joys, your sufferings and all you endure; it is giving Me great joy to see My children living the life of truth as they were commanded from the beginning by the Eternal Father;
today My Vassula, there are many deceivers, but it had been said that as there were in the past deceivers,[23] so you too will have your false prophets; in the beginning they would try to buy you for themselves,[24] then very quickly would turn against you once they realise their malice is uncovered in the Light of the Truth by the Spirit to you; ah, My child, I have you wrapped up in My Immaculate Heart, this is the way I protect My children;
in My unfailing Love I have for all of you, I, as a Mother, will always be your gracious Protector and Defender; why, have you not heard how I become like a lioness who defends her cubs when defiled hands stretch out to touch you? no one will be able to take you away from Me; you are, My Vassula, consecrated to Me, and you have signed your consecration to Me with your own blood,[25] and with this, God confirmed you, strengthened and supported you, for His grace and His power lasts for ever and ever;
My Son, Jesus Christ, is always near you and has your hand clasped into His so that you will never be separated from Him; My beloved Son is sweetly affected when you and others who have graciously recognised His Merciful Call through His noble theme, sacrifice everything you have for the salvation of souls;
and God, the Father, who is the kindest of fathers, who favoured you amongst thousands, giving you this inestimable gift and teaching you with Wisdom, filling your mind and those of others with everything that is true, everything that is noble, everything that is good and pure; in His irresistible Love He has for all His creatures, the Creator has blessed you thrice from His Throne; in His royal courts He raised you[26] with nectar from His Mouth, and from His Majestic Throne, God reached you to console you and through you, millions of others who were in desperate need of consolation; ah! what would He not do in His divine Goodness for all of you! this is something that your philosophers of your times will never grasp because it is something that does not fit into their way of thinking;
rejoice exceedingly, daughter, for you have received graces more than you could ever merit; praise the Holy Spirit of God too, who descended softly and gently from above upon you, to befriend you, anoint you and instruct you the Way; so glorify the Forerunner who flooded you with His Love and made you taste His intimate sweetness, lifting you on His Wings to soar the skies with Him; so be not afraid .... so long as you are grafted on My Immaculate Heart, be not afraid ....
pray, My Vassula, for those who misinterpret Our Divine Messages, be merciful with them, for they know not what they are doing .... take pity on their desolation and do not let your tongue condemn them, let the Sole Judge, judge them; will you do this for Me?
I will try, I will try to remember.
try...be eternally good, My Vassula, and be patient; do not let temptations of this kind assail you and disfigure your soul; let the One who is the Highest delight in you; expiate for them instead, and every time you will expiate, the Good Lord will anoint you with the unction of His Divine Love for your gesture, and His Face will shine on you and He will execute His Blessings on mankind; act as God wants you to act;
release Me from the pains My Heart succumbs to daily from those who deny the real Presence of My Son in the Eucharist; Jesus affectionately invites you to partake of His Body; know that He desires you with all His Heart and, any generous gesture from your part, His Heart melts into Rivers of Mercy and Goodness which flow on many hardened hearts .....
O Royal Virgin,
inseparably united to Jesus’ Heart,
I offer You all the sinners of the world
who offend Your Son in the Blessed Sacrament,
may they who strike Him, be forgiven by God
through Your Innocence, Your Blessedness and Your Sweet Heart
which became the Holiest Tabernacle of God;
amen;
amen;
trust God, My Vassula, because He has the power and the Wisdom to approach the guilty and straighten their path .... be disposed for the Lord to give Him praise and glory; He will reveal[28] to you His intentions;
remain in God’s Peace; I bless you;
April 19, 1998
Lord?
I Am; peace be with you;
let it be known: the mouths that shout calumny to you, are shouting calumny to My gifts on you; they will have that sin lying heavily on themselves unless they come forward and repent!
I will repeat what I have already said to you, I have joined your heart to Mine forever and My promises stand firm; I have joined your heart to Mine in such a way to secure it, that there is no way of uprooting it; you are, My dove, well-rooted in what gives life and freedom; My precious child, calm your heart and do not pay attention to the violence of calumnies said on you, little do they know that they are calumniating Me and not you, giving Me impressive wounds on My Body; those who persist with violence to calumniate My Work in their deficiencies, will have in the end their share ....
in My Infinite Love, I will increase in you and while My Head will be resting on your heart, I will continue to murmur in your ear My Love and My words of salvation and deliverance;
pupil, remember, do not get discouraged; look around you; I have gained fruits out of My Divine Work, so lift your face to Me and smile, smile and make Me happy;
I have now understood that in our close union, our Good Lord feels everything. Even if we feel unhappy, He becomes unhappy because we are unhappy;
now allow Me to repose in My heaven[29] while you reflect on My Words;
IΧθΥS 
April 21, 1998
May the sweetness of the Lord be on us![30]
ah, enter into the joy of your Lord! yes? say it!
(I had a complaint.)
Why do You deprive me of Your companionship?
come, say what you want to say ....
And You do it as though You take Your pleasure in it by bringing forth all sorts of events that obstruct me from using the gift You have given me and being thus in Your delightful Presence which is Light.
I have given you a wreath that will never wither, and I have baptised you with Fire; I have given you spiritual food and drink; how is it that at moments you fail to understand Me? I would have given you now a sharp answer, but considering your words pronounced to Me the other day,[31] coming out from the depths of your heart, know that I am reluctant in mortifying you; I am still perfumed by your words of love; I have received your words as a sweet fragrance of myrrh and My hair is covered with drops of your aromatic words and My head is all perfumed, you have bound[32] Me with your words .... but I tell you, this act of privation is so that I ripen your fruits; yes, I am your Sunshine, but a tree needs rain as well to be able to grow and multiply its foliage and its fruit; when your soul does not feel My rays for a while, know that at that moment I am refreshing you again;
and now tell Me, how does your soul feel right now?
Right now I feel enamoured by Divine Grace ....
cease then tormenting your soul and reproaching Me; be grateful instead for all the graces I have poured in your soul; I am preparing you to receive a divine visitation from the Holy Spirit who will entrust you with His Message[33] and who would leave with His Noble Theme an everlasting memory to this generation and to all future generations;
My tender spouse, be of Jesus as Jesus is of you; I am for you as you are for Me;[34] we are one for the other and so complete in union and intertwined that a number of souls have seen Me in you and you in Me;[35] let Me delight and contemplate Myself in you; I enjoy immensely those moments when I gaze at Myself; I have indeed clothed you with Myself to possess you and have offered you My Grace to possess Me in Grace; call it if you wish: the folly of God, enamoured of his creation to folly;[36]
see? therefore, calm down your heart and understand those moments of privation;
I know that had You not shown Yourself to me in the beginning (1985), I would be still out there in the graveyard among the putrefied. Had it not been for Your Grace, I would have by now putrefied myself. My soul was longing for You, when You were prolonging Your rains upon me.
but now, My dove, have I not released you from your pains? hear Me, Vassiliki: know that while you were in the state of privation I was resting in your heart ....
be blessed and find your comfort in My Heart;

April 22, 1998
(This divine message that was foretold by Jesus on April 21, 1998, has been given to me by the third Divine Person of the Holy Trinity: the Holy Spirit. I was called by His Divine grace every now and then to write it. It finished on July 29, 1998.)
(The Holy Spirit speaks:)
peace be with you;
the theme that I am about to reveal to you for the glory and the benefit of the Church, this Church which Christ bought with His Own Blood, is going to be one of the noblest themes about Myself;
it is necessary that I manifest these riches to your brothers and sisters so that they too nourish themselves on these inexhaustible riches that flow down in abundance to benefit the Church; divert your thoughts and turn your attention fully to Me now;[37]
for this noble theme that I will divinely reveal to you, you will have to allow Me to penetrate into your intellect and give you a sublime light of understanding; I will stoop in My benevolence to speak not only to you, but Prodigy Himself will dispose His Knowledge to all mankind;
behold, the Bridegroom is stooping over you to communicate to you all words of Life that will adorn you all with royal purple; by grace, you will receive from Me, if you open your heart, sanctifying graces which will invigorate your soul and lead you into perfection;
those who would read these words of Life and are undisposed and not in the truth, will see everything as nonsense, for, accustomed to walk with Sterility, they will not be touched;
but for those who seek Paradise in simplicity of heart and who do not put Me to the test, on those will I shed My Light and Rays and I will illuminate them;
I will then make My way in them and purify them; and when they will come trembling to the reckoning of their impurity and sins, with a groan that will sound more of a new-born’s wailing, they will give birth to a new life in Me, capitulated by Jealous Love;
after having conquered them in Blessedness, I shall flow like a vivifying River inside them; My vivifying passage within them will not go by unnoticed; I will not be like a ship that cuts through heaving waves and leaves no trace to show where it passed, or like a bird flying through the air, leaving no proof of its passing or a sign of its passage;
I will come to them and wed them and clothe them with Christ; I will transfigure their soul into an Eden because they would be carrying God within them as their Lamp; this will be the sign given to them in My invincible Holiness;
I will remain in them taking care of them; and I Myself will be the One who will adorn them with bridal vestments; crowning them with My Deity, a royal crown of splendour, the diadem beauty from the Hand of the Trinity; no one is worthy of such favours, but in My ineffable Love, I said: “night now must yield to light, vice to virtue”; I will work in their soul so that temperance, prudence, justice and fortitude will be their wealth;
ah, Vassula, I will cultivate your generation and make them understand that immortality is found in being kin to Us the Triune God; what is more wealthy than this Work of Mercy I, God, will be doing in them? then, having breathed Life in these souls, I will despatch Wisdom from My throne of glory to become their Prodigy;
– then everything that had been reduced to ashes in the sterility of this earth through all these years, I, in My divine benevolence, will make anyone who is willing, revive and blossom; fecundated by My warm rays of Light, I tell you, generation, you will be divinised and deified in Our Trinitarian Deity;
today, My Vassula, everyone sees as far as they are able to see, but after My passage through you all, you will not be limited and see the way you see now; but, in a most ineffable manner and most divine, you will see with My Light penetrating even the hidden things of God since you will be seeing things in My radiance;[38] your entire body will be shining with a brilliant Light; I will be the Lamp of your body[39] that will fill it with the splendours of Our Kingdom, which are: soundness, gentleness, love, mercy, joy, peace, patience, truthfulness, goodness and kindness;
from the beginning We made you in the image of Our Own Nature; We had said: “let Us make mankind in Our Own Image, yes, in the likeness of Ourselves;” but it was the devil’s envy that brought you all to death;
now the earth groans with pain, chastising itself, sighing and crying, weary of no longer being, tearful and suffocating for lack of air,[40] moulding in its interior and putrefying in its entrails; yes, you have ceased to be ....
come, My Vassula, this will do for now; be one with Me!
(Here the Holy Spirit stopped His divine dictation to me and He made me understand that He will continue His Message later on: see message of June 7, 1998.)
April 24, 1998
“When a man’s rights are overridden
in defiance of the Most High,
when a man is deprived of justice,
does not the Lord see it?”[41]
Vassula, adversity practised on you gladdens Me![42]
And I, only yesterday, on Saint George’s feast day, I was pleading him to intercede for me and take away my adversaries!
ah, no, no, no, no![43] why should I let you by your own foolishness lose the crown of the faithful I have prepared for you, and everything else I have stored up for you in heaven! this is the sort of love I showed to all of My chosen ones; so will you stop your unfounded thoughts? ...
come, foolish little child, remain united to Me who am the Head[44] and you will receive the strength you need to bear anything joyfully; I will never neglect you; carry your crosses with love, especially the noblest one I passed on to you and the most abhorrent to Satan, the Cross of Unity; and do not be afraid to suffer adversity; it is after all for My glory!
O Lord, You know I’ve prayed to Saint George, so now what will become of my request to him?
Saint George, who died as a martyr, will protect you from all evils; he is by your side and guards you; he will pray so that your thoughts would be focused on heavenly things;
so then, My delight, come back to your senses and do not repel My Nails and Thorned Crown that My Love compelled Me to offer you; rose of the Rose[45] I have crowned you with My Jewels;[46] I am lenient to many things but to dispose of these Jewels? never!
come! come to Me and taste the flow of sweetness coming out of My Mouth, this sweetness will reassure you that from all Eternity you were Mine and I was yours .... I am now on My way, dearest one, but only for a little while to allow you to continue your good work;[47]
IΧθΥS 
May 29, 1998
In the unrelenting pain of my spirit I must speak,
lament in the bitterness of my soul;
come, I beg You, look at me;
have You done away with me?
My roots are thrust in You,
yet in my silence I say:
“The Lord God surely is upset with me;
He will surely cut me off one of these days;”
I look for light to understand,
but there is only darkness;
have I been maybe insensitive to Your Goodness?
have I disappointed You in any way or neglected You?
or has the sight of the sun in its glory,
or the glow of the moon as it walked the sky,
stolen my heart from You, so that my hand blew them a kiss?
My loving spouse, allow Me to pour on you My sweet fragrance, and remember one thing: I, Jesus Christ, the Word of God, will always fulfil all your needs;[48]
numerous are your failures, but I had foreseen all of this, before even I announced My Message to you; but I have given you, in My immeasurable Love I have for you, a place in Me, where in that particular place I could bring your soul in the perfection I demand of My saints; ah, Vassula, overflowing clemency is Me, fathomless love is Me, and yet, you still know Me so little, My dove; why these obscure thoughts of Me? everything I have is yours and forever;[49] be then of good cheer and spare Me from this unnecessary Cup; the Word of Life was given to you freely so that you, in your turn, give it freely to the others; I had a pattern in My Work, as you see, and I want you to keep doing all the things you have learnt from Me and have been taught to do in My Name;
do not fear anyone when you assemble together in My Name to christianise this dechristianised generation; everything you do is for My honour and My glory; I am building; it is I who do the building, and woe to those who stretch their hand to destroy what is being constructed by Me! devote yourself now to My affairs and remember that there is no frontier between you and Me; I am always with you, My beloved;
I bless you; ic;

(Sunday, Pentecost)[50]
(The Holy Spirit continues His Divine Message of April 22, 1998.)
ah .... My Vassula .... I have chosen you and I have not rejected you although you too had ceased to be; and so it will be that I will show in this same manner My ineffable affection and My divine power to anyone who is willing;[51] I will not reject you but see how lenient My Love for you compels Me to be? in these days I am descending together with the Father and the Son as three Witnesses; God the Father is Spirit,[52] in that He sends Me, the Spirit of Truth,[53] to be with you for ever and lead you to the complete Truth;
the Word of God, Light and Saviour and who existed since the beginning, who is nearest to the Father’s Heart, has witnessed and made the Father known to you; you have been bought and paid for with His own Blood; have you not read that the Word of God is alive and active and testifies on earth as I and the Father testify? the Holy One who bought His Church with His own Blood[54] testifies with His Blood and I, the Holy Spirit of Truth, who leads you to the complete Truth[55] testify with Water;[56]
therefore, We are three Witnesses and all three of Us agree as We are One God alone,[57] with one Will, one Power and one Dominion; what image, creation, have you contrived of Me and you still do not know Me? ... and yet I never stopped testifying; I was never hiding ....[58]
O Ineffable Light of Beauty,
Your Divine Eyes were soft and smiling;
You smiled at me and I found myself smiling back at You;
Your Face, O Holy One, contained an angelic charm;
Your Holy Face, radiating Love and Purity
was ever so near mine;
I was not even in profound meditation
when You surprised me by appearing to me;
Although His Face was altogether adorable,
His Eyes were the ones which drew my attention,
leaving me in awe and in admiration
the love of Your gaze
looking into mine with ineffable tenderness
were like two glittering stars,
they were like a turquoise transparent sea
filled with serenity;
what can I, the poor worm, say?
Your Divine Eyes, my Lord,
are like a Liturgy, an ocean of Love,
a Paradise and a consuming fire
for the one who undeservedly
was allowed to contemplate them ...
how blessed you are, you whose ears I opened, may your ways remain straight in Our Wisdom so that you may do Our Divine Will;
count on Me, beloved, for I will bring as many as possible in union with Our Oneness and I will fill them with Light so that they will be filled with the absolute fullness of Our Trinitarian Deity;
– come and learn: in hardships I am always with you; I am your Consoler and where there is despair, I console and heal; I am the Giver of Life and with My baptismal kiss, I blow on you, I renew you; I renew you so that your natural inclinations that are so opposed to God and ever so human and worldly, leading you to death, can be transformed and deified in My Divinity and My Nobility and become as those of the angels and saints;
I am trying to draw you all into a filial union of divine Love with the Father and the Son and Myself so that you move in Us and We move in you;
I can transform your imprisoned minds and free them so that your thoughts and sayings will be only on spiritual things; therefore do not say: “I am doomed by Satan’s baptismal kiss of death”; no! not if you come to Me now; I am the antidote to Satan’s deathly kiss; I am the antidote to Death itself .... it is true that without Me your body is dead, but with Me your body is alive and in Me and through Me you will be counted as a child of God; this is why you must allow Me to reign in your hearts and make you into sons and daughters of the Most High;
Scripture says:[59] “happy the pure in heart: they shall see God;” in order to see God, and acknowledge Him as your Father you have to be born of Me, the Holy Spirit, by grace; how else would you see God? a child, before being born, has he ever seen his father? not until he is born will he see his father; and so it is with your spiritual birth of Me; flesh is flesh and has the vision of flesh; but who is born of the Spirit is given a vision of God enabling him to seize Him, acknowledge Him and penetrate in His depths;
so come and advance your step, go forward, and I will carry you on My Wings to soar the skies and bring you in Our adoption place, there where all My saints are, anointed by Us thrice Holy; why, did you not know that you too have an assigned place among them?
be confident and come to Me and from a rebel I will transfigure you into an upright being, leading your soul into sanctification and then sin will no longer have any power over you; sin is like an evil master in you and you should not give that master any opportunity in any instance to overrule you; but I, who am the Source of all that is Good can overpower your evil master which is sin, because My Law is a Law of Goodness and Life, overpowering all your evil inclinations;
come and find Me in simplicity of heart and fasten your heart on Me; do not come to Me with mistrust nor with brilliance of worldly speech; do not approach Me with conceit, vice or deceitfulness, no one who comes in that manner ever seizes Me or sees Me, but the souls who walk in the light of contrition and innocence will not be deprived from My Presence; I will fly to them from My Glory in a brilliant light, followed by myriads of angels to heal them, renewing them and making them one spirit with Mine to inherit My Kingdom; flesh and blood cannot inherit My Kingdom, for what is perishable cannot inherit what lasts for ever;
then to make you understand who is the Unique, Trinitarian God, yet One in the unity of essence, I will be healing your guilt, flowing in you as a river, refreshing your aridity and sterility; no one is worthy to see God, indeed, were anyone perfect among you, if he lacked the Wisdom and the Light that comes from Me, he would still count for nothing;
the depths of God are riches which are not of this world, and to contain them without Me is impossible; to penetrate God’s motives or understand His methods without Me, is impossible, but were you to allow Me to be recognised in your consciousness, penetrating your intelligence, I will model you in Myself to be truly pleasing to Us; your abandonment to Me is the only way I could transform your mind to have the mind of Christ, discovering Our Will and knowing what is good and what it is that We want and what is the perfect thing to do; so do not allow your flesh[60] to protest ....
although I seem to appear inaccessible to the eye and unattainable, unseen altogether, I let Myself be seen in full clarity; I utter words of Wisdom and as a friend who confides himself to a friend I confide My secrets to you, hiding none of them from you; I face you, and I, the formless one, take form in your spirit;[61]
ah, Vassula, I am altogether a reflection of the eternal light and as an untarnished mirror My Magnificence is magnified in all the creation; here I am now, becoming knowable to you in this way too,[62] yet without losing My transcendence; I am filling you with My Knowledge, even though this flow of transcendent light which I am pouring in you goes beyond what you can contain,[63] I offer, nevertheless, all those treasures of Our Kingdom to adorn not only your soul, but all of the others too;
I am, for those who love Me, indeed more resplendent than the sun, outshining all the constellations put together, and as I transcend, I can fill all things with My brightness without being contained by their limits; this is the way I deploy My Light in your soul, ordering all things within you to be good so that you, in your turn reflect My Goodness and grow in virtue;
June 21, 1998
(Continuation.)
Ah, my Joy right now is great,
You fill my soul not only with Your transcendent light
but with joy too.
yes, My beloved, My wealth is Joy as well;
You are my Comforter
in times of anxiety, in times of sorrow;
You console my soul, O perfect One;
may You assist my soul in Your loving Tenderness.
O Glorious Throne, my God,
Set high from all Eternity,
come and uproot all evil from within Your sanctuary
and show me Compassion,
show me Your Holy Countenance ....
My sympathy is with you, My weak child; I have revealed to you and to others Christ’s mind, even as Christ revealed to you the mind of the Father; do not doubt of My power; do not doubt of My favour I conferred on you to be able to hear Me, understand Me and this time gaze at Me; I have emptied you by grace and filled you with Myself; so be happy, I want you always happy, for heaven is your homeland;
I have, Vassula, through all these years, satisfied you with the melody of My Voice, first in your heart and in your mind, then I granted you now one more unmerited favour: to gaze at Me in this one manifestation; I am your Helper but so is the Father and Christ; you have now contemplated the One who encompasses all beings;
you must not be surprised when the world today remains dead to My Call, and when it listens but does not understand; so long as they are ruled over by the evil one, clinging to this passing world, I will remain for them unknown;
I am the inner Source of Christian Unity, and it is in Me you should put your hopes and your union; I am the Source of Hope, Faith and Love; Infinitely rich, I glory in My glory; I am the vivifying Spirit of the risen Son and the vivifying breath of your mortal bodies; and so you who live for Us, you will be vitalised by My Divine Power to be destined for glory; not only do I resurrect you, but I also give you a free way to enter Our glory, becoming Our adoptive child and heir to Our Kingdom;
I have said to you that I am the Source of Hope because, were you to accept Me as your Helper, you would be accepting Hope and I who know how to express your plea, I would be expressing it with words of Wisdom and according to Our Mind, in a way that would be pleasing to Us; I am your Hope, since I made My home in you; so be content to hope that you shall be saved and risen by Me;
enjoy the freedom I am giving you and possess Me as I would be possessing you, then, only then would My Reign begin in you .... it begins when your soul will become as beautiful as a bride dressed for her husband in her nuptial gown; you will then realise with tears in your eyes that you were not made to remain celibate but that you were My promised one and that I, the Holy Spirit, your promised One, the Bridegroom of all creation would sanctify your soul in My embraces and in royal munificence;
did you forget, My beloved, how, not long ago before our wedding, your soul at night was longing for Me and how your spirit too was seeking Me? see now how delicious My Love is? see how Our Triune Holiness and Tenderness expand like sweet fragrance all around the universe, perfuming it? all souls to which I am joined become brides, for in Our intimacy We draw them in Us to become their Bridegroom each day of their life; and they, enamoured of Us, willingly thrust themselves in Us and ever so completely to savour the fullness of Our Divine Love that they become one with Us ....
now, My dearest soul, have your rest in Me and remain My triumph;[64] together with the Father and the Son, I tell you: love the Unique Trinitarian God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind;
We bless you for dedicating your time to Us and for serving Us;
June 22, 1998
(Continuation.)
come daughter .... I am the inner Source of power within you whose sweetest melodies sung to you resound in every nation;
have I not written for you, My dove, thousands of pages of love, counsel and knowledge, for you to be able to expound the Truth in this impoverished generation? have I not, My bride, filled you with sound words to answer those who question you? it is from Me that you breathe, bathed in My Light; it is in Me that you move and are[65] never ceasing to be; for My Majesty transcends earth and heaven and all that is within them;
then, from My Mouth, full of grace, flow wealth and honour, enriching all those who love Me; enriching them to know Us as Triune, yet One in the unity of essence; teaching them with tenderness of heavenly realities, lifting their spirit to revolve only around heavenly realities;
it was I who created your inmost self and put you together in your mother’s womb; – and as I watched daily, inebriated with delight, your bones taking shape, forming in secret, I was already celebrating our betrothals; I tell you, were I to find your spirit eager and thirsty to know Me, I, who, from your birth was so eager to possess you and espouse you to Myself, I would fly to you at your first invitation and brand you with My fiery baptismal kiss on your forehead; a heavenly sign of our matrimonial celebration; then, My loved one, I would crown you with a wreath of the most fragrant flowers; each of its petals representing a virtue;
I am the Gateway through which the virtuous enter; and as My word has guaranteed, I will revive your love for the gospel to equal your eagerness to that of the first apostles to spread the gospel of peace; and everywhere you would go, you would leave behind you My scent, perfuming nation after nation, for I would always be with you;
I will privilege you to grow in your love not only for Us, but also for your brothers and sisters, so that you sing to Us the psalm:[66] “how good, how delightful it is for all to live together like brothers ...”
I will become your personal Helper and Companion and also your family, your brother, your sister; I will become your bearer;[67] I will become your amen to the Amen[68] and your canticle to the One who hymns to you now .... I will reveal to you, My bride, what flesh and blood can never reveal to you: I will reveal to you the innermost part of your heart and the depths and the mind of God too;
I will show My favour graciously by increasing in you while I will be decreasing you; Dawn will be waking in you while Night will be dying in you;
I am the Light of your soul and beautiful as a Parousia in you I will shine and inaugurate with all My angels and saints Our union of divine Love; We shall celebrate our espousals ....
in Me, you will enjoy freedom; without Me, your soul remains captive and will fall in the snares of the evil one who will imprison you; so look at no one else, My love, but at your God, thrice Holy; delight in no one else on earth but in He who suckles you from His Sources with Life; pine away with love for no one on earth except for the King of kings, the First and the Last and for His House;
and you, Vassiliki, on whom I posed Myself[69] and who hugged Me ever so tenderly and with so much affection on your cheek as a token of love, exclaiming: “I found Him whom my heart loves!” and you clasped Me and held Me fast against your cheek, nor would you let Me go, but I too had found My bed of spices, bands sweetly scented;
“I shall give you the gift of My Love,” I said; then like drops of pure myrrh, My words dropped in your ear, opening it to be able to hear My desires; “I am your Life; let yourself be directed by grace, from now on by Me; let your lips be as the lilies,[70] distilling pure myrrh; do not give up the struggle, I will be with you; bear the Cross of Christ and be enamoured of It and I will be with you; put your faith in God and glorify the Father’s Name; encourage your generation to get to know the Father; tell them that He is a gentle Father and a God of consolation; spread the Knowledge of Himself and I will be with you; tell this generation that the Amen’s Name fills all the universe with a most sublime perfume, a most delicate fragrance; be like a gazelle and be swift going over ravines, crossing valleys with Our Word; and I will be with you; be as a lily, through your purity of intentions, distilling pure myrrh on the Church that Christ bought with His Own Blood; let Us say one day: how fragrant your perfume, more fragrant than all the other spices and I will be with you and will keep on breathing over you, My garden, to spread your sweet perfume all around; be planted in Me and grow strong in your faith with the strength of My Power, so that you will grasp the breadth and the length, the height and the depth, until you will reach to know the Love of the Son, which is beyond all knowledge, and will be filled with utter fullness of God;” this is what I said to you....
and now, My bride, espoused and clothed with Christ, adorned with My ineffable Light and imbedded like a royal gem in Me, take heart, I am with you, your true Companion; fragile bride of the Most High and Father of all and who is Bridegroom to all, guard your thoughts on His Sovereignty and His Splendour and feed yourself directly from His Mouth by placing your mouth on His, to obtain the grandeur of His Word; the flow of His Word is sweeter than nectar;
be cleaved to your Bridegroom’s Bosom and you will shine in the world like a bright star because you will be offering the world the Word of Life; your race, My beloved, is not over, but I am with you; although there will still be burning arrows aimed at you because you have received the Word of God from Me; be bold, for I am your Armour; keep spreading your sweet fragrance, extending it in every nation, without forgetting that I am your sweet Lover, the Lord God, and that you, whom I created for this purpose, are My bride who belongs now to My Imperial Household;
I am the revelation[71] of the Son and the Son is the revelation of the Father; and in Our perfect wisdom We have bestowed upon this generation and for the future generations, various favours like never before in history; for their salvation I raised prophets to help them understand and reach the fullest knowledge of Our Divine Will; I have given you to them entirely to admonish them through this Canticle[72] and help them understand and know Us and enter in the way of salvation where the plenitude of all graces is hidden;
all the saints and angels declare now with one melodious voice:
“we thank you
O most Holy and Adorable Trinity, Eternal Wisdom,
for supplying, in an ineffable abyss of generosity,
the whole world with Your Canticle of Hope and Love;
written so that it will lead many to Eternal Salvation;
with exceptional grace, You have laid out a way,
scented by a sweet odour of Your perfume
and spread with sapphires,
for every one to follow
and find their loveliest rest in Eternity;
and in Your divine gentleness
You have found this remedy to heal this generation;
O Spring of the universe, Most lovable Trinity,
altogether adorable Bridegroom,
You visited once more the earth,
to speak to Your children heart to heart,
pouring on them a stream of graces
with anointed and luminous knowledge of Yourself;
You, Luminous Godhead, have anticipated this Feast[73]
long before Your creation;
the day when, favouring your beloved,
You would call Your creation,
from the lowest to the highest,
to a day of espousals with Your Divinity,
where in those days of festivity
You would share with them a more intimate union,
embedded like a royal gem in You,
and where You would converse with them
in the interior of their heart;
in the tenderness of Your Heart
You had foreseen that this divine union
would be only sweetness,
because You would be spending Your time with them,
sharing their lives while still on earth
as You share Your splendour with Your angels;
may praise and thanks be given to the adorable Trinity
for irrigating His flower beds,[74]
and for sending His light far and wide;
we give thanks to You, God, as we recount Your marvels;
in order to reach the abyss of human frailty,
You left Your Throne and laid aside Your royal Crown,[75]
to ornament Your creation
with an overflow of Your divine Love;
then, inebriated with Your Love for them,
You gave Your Holy Spirit
who would draw them into Your nuptial chamber[76]
and on Your matrimonial bed,[77]
spontaneously uniting themselves to You;
O Holy Trinity,
Treasure of the saints and of the angels;
once Your creation would be exalted with Divine Love,
they would cry out to You:
‘Kyrie eleisson, Kyrie eleisson ...’
while You would be whispering in their ear:
‘because you embraced impassability,
you found a spiritual vivification in My embrace;’
Giver of Life and Dispenser of inestimable gifts,
You have, in Your tenderness,
summoned the poor as well as the rich
to gather around Your Kingly table,
offering an imperial Banquet;
glory be to the Most High,
Source of ineffable delights,
Fountain that makes the gardens fertile,[78]
Well of Living Water,
Streams of faithful Love flowing from Your Heart,
Lover of mankind, Bridegroom of Your creation,
we adore You and praise Your Holy Name Thrice Holy;
amen;”
yes, Vassula, all heaven rejoices since in Our gracious condescension We took pity on this generation; Christ had said: “if anyone loves Me, he will keep My Word, and My Father will love him; and We will come to him and make Our abode with him;”[79] and so We will ....
O happy seed![80] were you to be sown in Me, your harvest will be Paradise; were you to grow in Me, you would blossom and your spring flowers, since they would blossom in Spring Himself, will perfume the earth, and the earth, revived by your aromatic fragrance, will utter its first word: “Father!” and it will be saved;
You have won for Yourself
this rebellious heart of mine;
in Your lavish affection and in Your Love,
You have clasped my filthy hands into Yours
drawing me close to You and in You,
breathing a new life in my soul;
and with a baptismal kiss,
You ended my rebellion;
O indescribable delight of my soul,
You visited me,
not daring to show me, in the beginning,
the immensity of Your Love,
lest my heart would be too small to contain it;
You abstained from revealing to me entirely
the ardour of Your Love
lest I would run away in my human frailty;
but then, in the exuberance of Your Love,
You wedded me ....
You wedded me,
despite my great wretchedness and guilt,
wholly uniting me to Your Triune Holiness;
this free gift, given by Your Own Will,
given to an unworthy worm as myself,
baffles me still to this day ....
O Sunshine of my soul;
You who so delicately fed me on curds and honey[81]
here You are now, visiting the earth once more;
but the earth again mistrusts You and refuses to welcome You;
My Beloved went down to His garden,[82] to the bed of spices,[83]
to pasture His flock[84] in the gardens,
and gather lilies;[85]
My Beloved came to call His Own Flock,
and gather lilies in the fields
who have no other care but to LOVE;
He came to gather His lilies for His Own good pleasure;
Divine Wisdom visited the earth
to remind His Own that there is but one theology,
that of contemplating You in Your Triune Glory;
So let me be Your rose without thorns,
most delicate Bridegroom,
and You, my Living Water;
there, my stem placed in this Living Water,
will not die, but will draw life and will live eternally
since I will be plunged in the Eternal God Himself.
You have been favoured by the odour of My fragrance,[86] and I allowed you to contemplate My Holy Face which shone on you;[87] no, this memory of My Holy Face will never dissipate from your memory; I transcend earth and heaven in majesty and splendour and My Name and no other is sublime, raising the poor in spirit to join Me; I move in them and they move in Me; I have, out of My exuberant Love, as I have inspired you to call it, offered you free gifts in abundance, for I am only interested in those who fear Me[88] and in those who rely on My Love;
no, I have not come to inflict punishment on you, but instead, I came to you to wed you, and as a bridegroom who lavishes his bride with gifts, I adorned you with My divine gifts; it is not by the eloquence of words I am moved or affected, but by a contrite spirit; does not Scripture teach you to love virtue? were you to seek Me in simplicity of heart, not putting Me to the test, then I, in My Benevolence, will come down from heaven as a lightning inside your body and be your lamp;
you have been taught that the lamp of your body is your eye, and so it is, because a diseased eye has no vision and has only darkness, whereas a healthy eye illuminates the view; I am this lamp and anyone who has Me within him, will seek the true virtues and not the vices; I am the real lamp of your body that fills your whole body with the treasures and splendours of Our Kingdom; these treasures and splendours are the virtues; where there is Light there is virtue; where there is Darkness there is vice; do not be mistaken and cling to this dying world, but be faithful to Me and you will live with Me in love; love virtue;
in the beginning, Vassula, you were asked to live holy and be holy; I had also counselled you that were you to strike deep roots in Me, you would not sway in the wind nor would any of your branches snap off with any kind of tempest; then your fruit would be plenty, enough to feed a multitude and generations; were you to remain loyal to Us, I said I would grant you special favours, and so I did; I imbedded you like a royal gem in Me, and addressed you; I refreshed you and nourished you to grow in virtue; I gave you such virtues as love and patience, wisdom, knowledge, fortitude and perseverance; Christ had offered you His patience and at the same time, the grace of hope; to build your hope that one day holiness would be rewarded I have taught you to endure all the tests put to you with a holy patience;
you sought, in your human frailty to please Us; so We bent over you and loved you; Wisdom is given to mere children and so We, in Our Triune Holiness, found simplicity of heart and instructed you that you had to acquire Wisdom, but We would be helping you; We said that We would help you imitate Us and be Our living altar upon which We would place Our knowledge, so that you would understand and know Us;
you sought to please Us, and We found Our comfort in you; I am the Spirit who teaches and gives temperance; soul, let your sparks die down even more; your closeness to Us is wealth for your soul; yes, your closeness to Our royal Munificence renders you perseverant not only for your mission but to reach an invincible holiness, I said to you, My beloved, to love virtue, and I compared you to a tree which has many branches, rich in foliage, because you were rooted in Me, the Source of Love, and from that Source you were irrigated to produce many and a variety of fruits, fruits of virtues; I say a variety of virtues because any one who is rooted in Love which is the principle of all virtues, will give birth to all other virtues;
does not Scripture say: “Love endures, Love is always patient and kind; Love is never jealous or boastful; Love is not proud; it is not rude or selfish; Love does not take offence and holds no rancour; Love takes no pleasure in other people’s sins or vices, but rejoices in the Holy Spirit and delights in the truth; it is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope and to endure whatever comes;”
I have given you the virtue of fortitude to be the principle of all your other virtues in you; since I was preparing your soul for this battle of your times, where good is deformed into evil; in the beginning, Christ instructed you as well as the Father, through Me, that We would be sending you, My loved one, in the vile depths of sin, where iniquity and vice are worn like a crown on those who recrucify Christ; We showed you, through visions infused into your intellect, that We would be sending you in the nest of vipers, and so with the virtue of trust in Us, together with the virtue of fortitude, you would endure and persevere;
you endured all the injustices, the venomous arrows thrust on you, with this virtue; you endured great trials for the sake of Our Name; and many who contradicted you were not able to break you; although from the exterior you appeared frail, I rendered you strong from within, proof that I am well within you, and that your virtue is indeed rooted in the Truth; as I have said, if you are rooted in Me, who am the Source of Divine Love, you will obtain the virtue of love, then like little branches, Love will give birth to other virtues; there are numerous virtues given to each one, who, by grace were raised to love Me; and everything that is distributed is distributed by Me;
We once said to you in the beginning that you would have no rest and that at times your grief would be intolerable at seeing the deafness and stubbornness of certain souls, but by your suffering for Our sake, you have proved your patience, which is, as I have told you, linked to the Source, which is love; to widen the space of My Dwelling place,[89] I removed all that was obstructing Me, and My Light rose in the darkness and the shadows became like noon; I gave strength to your bones and I flowered you with My Presence;
be strong and prove yourself worthy as My bride, wedded to the Truth; be perseverant and strong with My Spirit of fortitude, to continue to bear witness to the Truth with zeal and courage; with this virtue that I give by My Grace to martyrs, you can overcome all your detractors, and all those who never cease hailing the death of My angel;[90] like the sun you will continue shining in Our Triune Presence and in every nation We send you; you seek to please Us by enduring the pains of lengthy journeys to enliven the Church and defend it;
anyone who defends faithfully the Church and witnesses are, for Us, like living torches because their words flare in the darkness of the world; I give them a warrior’s heart, to fight the good fight of faith and justice and join in this spiritual battle of your times My archangels Michael and Raphael, who are predominant in strength and valiant Warriors of Justice, observing through My Light every aspect of human behaviour .... you sought to please Us, with devout affection and loyalty, so We hid you in the shadow of Our Hand, taking you in Our care;
Mediator of every one, I Am; Guarantor of your well-being, I Am; sublime Source of Unity of the Christians, I Am; supreme Unity of the Father and the Son, I Am; Unction to the poor in spirit, I Am; Unceasing Prayer within you, I Am; Bridegroom to you all and Perpetual Companion, I Am;
beloved bride, you have now learnt from My Mouth, and through grace in an ineffable manner, what concerns Us; I have been teaching you that knowledge of God, through Me, is trinitarian knowledge to refute heresies and the like; ah, Vassula! the One whom you allowed to take root in your inmost being is the Truth who transfigures souls into a delightful Paradise where a variety of trees can be found which represent all sorts of virtues; these are the heavens in which We dwell perpetually;
and now I have sung to you as a bridegroom would sing to his bride: a canticle of love; a canticle of divine love to remind all of you that you are heirs to Our Kingdom; this was hymned to you by the Hymn[91] Himself to allow you all to taste, while still on earth, My supreme sweetness eternally joined to you;
so the Bridegroom welcomes you by saying: “come now, with a contrite spirit and have your fill in Me; let all who are thirsty come! I have the Water of Life and I have it for free;” I, the Lover of mankind, the Lord God, ask you, daughter of the Trinity, to take the other two Canticles, hymned to you by the Father and the Son, together with this one and name Our Work:
Canticle of the Bridegroom;
in Our Divine Canticle are many sayings of Our Triune sweetness, with amorous teachings so that many trees would prosper and grow; but as for the barren trees, I shall come, with a host of angels and uproot them in winter and so will be twice dead;
inscribe on your heart, all of you, this fundamental truth: “the Lord God knows those who are His Own and so allows them to come near Him;” these are destined to attain perfection in the divine and intimate union with Us; they are called to be transfigured in Us and be one with Us; their old self will be no more, but in an ineffable manner I gave always to My saints, I would deify them in Our union; through Me, I deify all those to whom I am united and they no longer speak with their own mind but in the manner I would speak; they no longer see with their eyes but in the manner I would see things; their acts would be My acts;
a golden ring was given to you,[92] an ornament of finest gold, the day of your spiritual espousals, as a symbol of: sharing the Cross; therefore, I invite you once more to endure with patience your trials;
grant Us your time, and now, beloved daughter, come and rest in Us;
Let us seek the understanding of the invisible God
by simplicity and purity of heart;
Let us seek the understanding of His exuberant Love
in the divine union and intimacy
that His Majesty has deigned to offer us,
by wholly abandoning ourselves to Him;
In Your great condescendence
You have, Lover of all mankind,
hymned to us to rejoice us;
You have,
as a bridegroom who prepares for his bride a banquet,
You have prepared for all of us a royal banquet
so that we can all feast on the bounty of Your house;
You give us drink from Your river of pleasure;
yes, for with You, my Lord,
is the fountain of Life,
by Your Light we see the Light;
As a doe longs for running streams,
so longs my soul for You, my God;
my soul thirsts for God,
the God of Life; the God of Hope; the God of Consolation;
when shall I go to see the face of God again?
My heart had said of You: “seek His Holy Countenance;”
and, as a king would pay tribute to his queen,
in this same manner, in Your perfect goodness,
You paid tribute to my most unworthy soul
by showing Your beauty, by showing me Your Holy Face;
Saving Fortress of my soul, shepherd me;
and let my soul enjoy Your sweetness;
You have given strength to feeble hands,
schooling me by addressing me in a most delightful way,
shining Your Light on murk and deep shadow;
Down there, in the murk,
Your Majesty descended with sorrow in Your Eyes,
to free the slave-of-the-murky-world, and reach my tomb.
I had died for lack of Wisdom.
Who was I, my Beloved, to make so much of me?
Was it right for You, My King,
to fix Your Eyes on me and adorn my soul in royal vestments
with Your Word,
without risking to cheapen Your Works for my sake?
Yes, I had perished as I was leaving the womb;
like a still-born child I came into the world
with a cloud hanging over me;
I thought I was, but I had never been,
not until You came to blow life in me;
When I opened my eyes
and saw from a distance Your Presence,
my heart blossomed like a flower
