(The Lord showed me in these past months that I should keep in retreat and enter even more now in holy contemplation. This is also the fruit of union; what more sublime could there be than to be in the embrace of the Holy One? What more pleasing to God could there be than allowing ourselves to be possessed by His Majesty and to learn how to possess Him? The repose of this peace will bring growth in the divine union, strength to continue what the Father laid out for me, zeal and thirst for the salvation of souls.
I noticed too that God was now turning His Gaze more on the services I had rendered Him in spite of my frailty and that His loving instructions were focused on what I should still be doing; the messages in other words were becoming more personal although now and then, God would address His entire Church.
I should have liked also to add that the horror in my soul of being praised by people was becoming so intense that many a times I was at loss with myself and besides myself. Even when I would guess that a person focuses more on me than on the Words of our Divine Master this alone would make me withdraw even more, going even closer in the embrace of God’s Love; this special attention given to me sometimes was like a vomit in my eyes .... God made it now clearer to me that any distraction by the world and by people could become a harmful influence that would draw me away from Love’s Embrace; the Place I wanted to remain.
I received oceans of graces, oceans of gifts, but have I praised my God enough? Have I been negligent of His gifts?)
My Vassula, stand firm on what I am transmitting into your intellect and lean on My Heart; I am your Rock; yes,[1]... I desire you for Myself; during this year I want My beloved to give herself up to the sweet repose of contemplation, withdrawing from the turmoil of the world, entering into My heavenly Embrace; you would be displeasing Me were you to oppose My Will; I want to repose you for My glory but also for the benefit of My Church; come frequently to Me to write down My sayings; I can use you so that My Church renews itself expanding in grace; I had shown you in the beginning My weariness and had asked you if you were willing to repose Me; now I can say:[2]
“My beloved is My heaven,
the sweet fragrance of My House,
who enjoys My favour;
she is the chant of My angels;
oh what would I not do for her!”
O infinite and transcendent God,
how could You have from the beginning
gazed on this utterly unworthy
and rebellious creature of Yours?
I, Jesus, am enough to make anyone aware of My Power and My Infinite Mercy .... separate yourself from this[3] Fire that emanates from My Heart and you will extinguish; I can keep you ablaze and on fire, vivified by an ardent love for Me, My House and My household; I can bring back to life anyone and lead him with cords of love into perfection ....
Lord God,
I always feared the praises of people on me
and I always wondered how these things affected You;
all the while I tried to guard myself against this worldly fervour
because from the beginning You made me understand
my utter wretchedness and how I was the least of them all;
Your Words were like a hammer
hammering in my soul,
engraving them on my heart;
now and then, You reminded me of my nothingness
and that if I dared lift my chin even for just a moment,
I would lose Your Heart and all the divine graces too.
In Your exuberant Love
You held me close to Your Heart
and protecting me in this way
You made me understand You,
and that by remaining a nothing
You would take so much pleasure in this effacement,
because You would do ALL and be ALL!
From my very early childhood
the devil used to appear to me
like a growling black dog ready to tear me into pieces,
but Your all-powerful action protected me;
Your constant Presence guarded me,
leading me in this divine union of Your Heart,
remaining indissolubly united with the Godhead.
Led then by such an indescribable way
that to this day it appears to me as a dream ....
Spouse of souls, I love You!
behold this Heart which chose you, it is the same that was pierced .... you have tasted it, felt it, heard it; still, My own and My child, our work is not finished because My Blood is continuing to stream out of My Heart in rivers;
You are my only Good. What can I do for You?
listen and write: many of My ministers have laid My Vineyard waste and My sheep are scattered; many of them have reduced My House into a ruin, a desolation .... and they know it; there is no peace among them and they know it; I am disappointed with them and this is why they do not want to hear Me; can their vows rid them of their sin?
No, my Lord, I believe not, for sin is sin.
they should observe My ways and repent; then, like a scent of myrrh their perfume will rise up and perfume My House; I, then, will cultivate My sons[4] and will wait with delight for their fine harvest; [5]I confide My Ministers to you .... your Maker will hear your prayers; intercede for them; pray and ask the Father whose forbearance is long to forgive them; do not delay .... do you not know that even your child-like babblings are heard by the Father and graciously He responds to them? He has granted you so many favours; your advantage being ever so weak, and your very wretchedness makes Him stoop from His Throne;
Lord, I offer to You my will
and all that would give
more glory to Your Name;
You are my Royal Banquet;
bringing and giving food to the poor is Our delight; remain in close union to My Heart and listen to its pulsations .... ic;

(The Lord gave me a vision: I saw some young boys between 8-10 years of age playing in a very dangerous and foolish way. They were walking on the edge of a ledge which surrounded a tall building of about seven floors high.
Some of the boys were hiding behind a water pipe-line as though playing hide and seek, all of these games were played from outside the building. Below them were meters of void. Another boy even jumped from his window to just barely make it to the neighbouring building in the window. I shut my eyes, not bearing the thought that I might see one of them miss his step, slip and fall. Considering the height, the fall would be deadly. I was frightened for them and I could not understand why they risked so much their life by playing so dangerously, then I understood why they were fearless. It was because they were not seeing, understanding and realising the danger.)
Vassula, I give you My peace in this week of unity; I, God, have called you to a life of peace; so what have you seen, daughter? what have you observed? have you heard Me say before these words: “do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; fear him rather who can destroy both body and soul in hell;” let Me reveal to you this vision: the boys you have seen are some of those who are near you and who had been once prompted by the Spirit to follow My Messages and had offered their help too; today Satan is sifting them and has led them without them realising to play dangerous games; if they fall, their soul would be fatally wounded; but if they listen to My Spirit they will put an end to their misdeeds and they will live;
well? what was the supreme law I had given you in Scriptures? was it not: “you must love your neighbour as yourself?” to this day all those[6] you have seen in the vision I have given you, think they are righteous, but if they are, let them show it by their good will with humility and graciousness in their actions and by their love for one another; some of them had shown no respect for those who are poor and no respect for the one I chose to bear My Words[7] and carry My Interests; and yes! like in the vision, were you to warn them they would not listen .... and in the meantime like you, in your vision, I too, tremble with fear for their fall could be fatal!
My children, who were called and prompted by the Spirit are now yielding to temptations, yet, were they to allow My Holy Spirit to be their guide, they will be in no danger; for this they need to come to Me and repent; they should not abuse My goodness and My tolerance, but they should take these instead to lead them to repentance and they will be forgiven and they will not lose My Heart;
I promise that anyone who decides to do good, giving Me honour and will make peace with Me and neighbour, he will obtain peace and will come to realise that in their weakness and in their sleep they were led astray; I want no more trouble from anybody; nor should anyone delude himself into thinking he is righteous, I repeat My warning, do not delude yourselves into thinking you are righteous; when one works or has decided to work for Me they should follow Me in My Footprints bearing My Cross wholeheartedly and with honour and joy; when this is done with goodwill they will be properly rewarded for all the work that had been done well in My Name;
no one is anyone’s master;[8] I am the only Master; I urge them to repent and turn to Me and prove to Me their goodwill;
consult Me anytime, Vassula, and I shall answer you; I bless you, cling to Hope;[9]
courage, daughter; ic;
(This message was given to two of the TLIG Associations. I personally did not know that there were disagreements and quarrels. I knew which Associations were concerned after the vision and our Lord made me understand who they were.
There was one especially ‘bossing’ around everyone. Jesus was not pleased; nor was he with the others. They risked a fatal fall and that is why God intervened out of His boundless Love.)
(Later on:)
My Vassula: tell Me, is there in the world or around you anything that can give your soul more exquisite and amorous delights than being with Me, just Me, alone? what does My Presence give you?
(While I was searching for words to express myself, I felt the Holy Spirit come upon me ...)
- A foretaste of the Beatific vision;
- A contemplation of Your Glory;
- An indwelling delight, that which is given to the saints with merits; I have none;
- An intellectual awareness that in Your transcended light, You, the Godhead, who fill all things without being contained by their limits can dwell in me ....
- I find in Your Presence, joy, light, sighs of longing, longing to penetrate even more in contemplation so that I may see what no eye has seen and hear what no ear has heard ...
daughter, hold on to Me and together, My Arm around your arm, just like a bride is led to the altar by her father or a relative to meet her Bridegroom, I will lead you into My Kingdom to reign with Me,[10] surrounded by a throng of exalted angels with an unbounded joy you will be led in eternal glory; and once more all heaven will shout for joy and will sing:
“God has been at work! shout aloud, you earth below! shout for joy you mountains; with royal prodigality the King of kings has found His pleasure in His chosen one; and now let us praise the Lord who created her; exalt the Lord in your praises;”
yes! I have allowed you to hear My Voice; I have allowed you to see Me face to face; and why? why have I favoured you?
To save our generation through Your message?
to show My Infinite Mercy to all of you, and through what I have entrusted you with to carry, I would chime poetry through your mouth at every step you would take and save this generation ....
incense and appeasing fragrance of My Heart, you are not alone, I, your Lord and Saviour, am with you; adornment of My Church, lift your eyes up to Me[11] and be blessed,
My Beloved has put all His Heart
into song out of love for His creation;
He placed harps to echo through
the world to Live a True Life in Him;
brimming over with Divine Mercy like torrents,
He fills every need;
Your Name, O Holy One, most Pure,
reached even the most remote people,
Yes! You have put afire entire nations
with Your divine sweetness,
preventing the people from sinning
and silencing the mutters of those who oppose You.
have I ever deprived a soul from My Love and Mercy?
Never...
when I am living inside a city, can that city[12] fall? have you not read: “there is a River[13] whose streams refresh the city of God and it sanctifies the dwelling of the Most High;” I am God;
O Spring of our soul
how can I express the way You have reached us in our misery?
Here you are, offering us Your Love and Mercy;
like golden pillars on a silver base, You steady our legs;
You transfigure our faces with one glance of Your Eyes,
making them appear like the Lamp shining on the sacred Lamp-stand;
Yes, indeed, only the River of Life
whose streams refresh the city of God,
sanctifies it for Him;
the Scriptures say,
in fact they are Your Own Words, Lover of mankind,
that if anyone loves You, he will keep Your Word
and that Your Father will love him
and that both of You will come to him
and make Your abode with him.[14]
I am a Source of ineffable delights and through My Infinite Mercy I wish to transfigure your soul into an Eden, suitable for Our Trinitarian Holiness; I wish to lead every soul back to Myself so that they would have access into their Resting Place; so My Vassula, be determined to safeguard for My sake My teachings; see? the soil has given its harvest, mountains and valleys bow down[15] at My passing; through this revelation My Voice is heard; never mind the proud of heart; remember, My beloved, that I have the power to overthrow kings and kingdoms were these to become an obstacle to Me;
“peaks of pride, have you the right to look down on a mountain[16] where God has chosen to live, where Yahweh is going to live for ever?”[17]
My Holy Spirit has uttered sayings in your ear sweeter than honey, even than honey that drips from the comb, raising you and others from the dead, see? salvation comes from Me;
be, My beloved, an example to the others and love My Spirit for He will give you one day the wages of your labours and .... do not fear those who believe they have the power to subjugate all things, because I am with you and on your side;
My Vassula, again I am asking you to be like a lily in My Garden[18] to perfume Me; fragrance Me, My chosen one, I sigh for your love, for your abandonment, for your dispassion;
O you, in whom alone I have entrusted this treasure coming from My Heart![19] remain in My embrace now, perfuming Me in your nothingness and I in My turn will be perfuming you to be My heaven!
hold on fast to Me and on to what I have given you freely; never weary of writing;
I am with you; ic;
February 2, 1999
Lord, let me read out to You what St. John Chrysostom wrote. In fact they are Your words, Your words to us through him;
this is what You said:
“I, your father, I, your spouse,
I, your home, I, your nurse,
I, your root, I, your foundation.
Whatever you want, I will be.
You lack nothing. I will work for you.
For I came to serve and not to be served.
I will be your friend and your host,
your head and your brother,
your sister and your mother.
I will be everything.
Only be intimate with me!
I will be poor for you, errant for you,
on the Cross for you, in the tomb for you.
Above I plead with the Father for your sake,
on earth I became intercessor to the Father for your sake.
You are everything for Me,
brother, co-heir, friend and member.
What more do you want?”
I have yielded so many times My Royal Sceptre to reach all of you and so many times I have come over to you to perfume your heads; with royal prodigality I have courted you, addressing you in poetry; religion and virtue were My sweet converse with you all the days of your life;
during all these years[20] I was reposing My Head on you, I had been taking My delight in you; My Heart has said of you: “turn her into a living altar for Your Mystical Body,[21] let her learn to repulse all that does not come from You, keep her hidden in Us so that she becomes an exultant sacrifice ready to be sold to the world and serve with gladness;” I had in My tender affection and My ineffable Love given you Wisdom to instruct you so that I, through you, would accomplish My designs on My Church;
see, My beloved, with what intent eagerness I descended upon your frailty to turn you and through you others to become the sturdy pillars of My Church? and I, with all My Heart bless you and all those who became columns of divine fire to transmit My words in these urgent Messages and who voluntarily with love used all that they could, with unsparing love and fervour to propagate the Truth and christianise this dechristianised population; I am with you and I promise you that I will repay you and the others a hundredfold;
see how I raise ambassadors of peace and see how I rush over to rescue My House? see My Vassula, My Eyes are too pure to rest on rebellion; the splendour of My Work (for My Work it is) is to draw all souls in My Sacred Heart; were I not to hurry, raising with My Sceptre disciples, the fig tree will not blossom; nor will there be any fruit left on the vine, and My sheep will continue to scatter until there will be none left in the fold; Goodness and Mercy could not bear to see so many souls heading for the eternal fires;
ceaselessly and untiringly, with My Heart in My Hand, I will continue to look at the window of each heart to awaken it and bring it into the ardent Love of My Divinity;
then I will place all the virtues needed with a stream of unparalleled and sanctified graces on its altar to draw it into a complete union with the Father, with Me and the Holy Spirit, immersing it into the eternal joys of heaven, and into Our delights;
now I am telling you, everything where you are[22] passes away like a shadow, but My Words will never pass away;[23]
“I shall augment your zeal for My House and the fire I shall put within you shall disarm the great; let this Source within you never run dry; may you continue eagerly and with avidity to defend the Truth and My Church which I bought with My Own Blood; let the scourge of your persecutors never discourage you or wear you out, but let this vile act done to you make you stronger instead, by inhaling from My Mouth the graces you need to keep your soul tranquil and in peace;”
ah, generation, greater profit than this Book[24] for your so miserable times you could not have received; greater gift for My Church for its renewal She could not have received, but once more My Church is failing Me, for She has not understood My intentions ....
come, Vassula, the Anointed One will provide you shelter in His Sacred Heart; love Me equally as I love you; come, My Own, and perfume My Heart; I promise you that one day I will take you to see the sweet fruits of your labours and you will rejoice ....
now come to Me and recite your prayers, I am always moved by your prayers; come and inebriate Me with your prayers;
I am now speechless Lord;
for what do You always find
in this worthless and useless heart of mine
to pour in it divine words
sweeter than the honey-comb?
I esteem an innocent soul, no matter how wretched she could be, more than sceptres and thrones; have you not said the other day that you felt like a mother towards Me? a mother who would do anything to protect her child from being constantly hurt, ridiculed and abused by the world? your love for Me touched Me, it has exceeded your misery ....
My Celestial Liturgy,
it is You, the Godhead
who encompasses all beings,
who clothed me with royal vestments
to be able to walk in and out of Your Courts;
You anointed me
so as to converse with You face to face
stirring my heart with Your noble theme;
You fed me with Goodness and Sweetness
and offered me a royal banquet
so that everything be distributed for all the nations
with largesse and with royal prodigality;
Was it not You
that in Your divine munificence
poured into me the flow of Divine Love,
resurrecting me?
God of all Goodness,
Sweet Spirit of Grace,
Most Loving Lover of Mankind,
who knew and knows all my defects, deficiencies and vileness,
how in spite of all these “morbid worms”
You still are gracious to me and approach me;
Luminous Manifestation,
I give praise and honour to You
and ask You to pity always
my wretchedness and my unworthiness;
Kyrie eleisson;
ah, Vassula, whenever you are mindful of your frailty and of your wretchedness knowing that Life can only be drawn from Me, I rejoice; whenever you admit that you are a sinner and that only by your total abandonment to Me you could draw graces from Me, I can then proceed in you and My Will can be accomplished in you;
transfigured by the grace of the Breath of My Holy Spirit, I will indeed proceed My intentions in you;
I, Jesus, bless you, be one; ic;
February 5, 1999
What return can I make
to the Almighty’s Goodness He showed to me?
He has performed marvels in me;
I have built My Throne in you to outlast all time .... I am Your King who anointed you so that you enter into My Kingdom; I am the King of the safety of your soul;
My heart melts like wax and becomes liquid
in Your Divine Presence;
I rejoice in Your Splendour and Majesty;
You have demonstrated Your Power
by allowing Your Holy Presence
to flow through the desert of my soul like a river;
alleluia! and everything that was polluted in the aridity of my soul
was washed away in the greatness of Your Love;
yes, My beloved, I am known for My Mercy and for My tender Heart; have you not heard how I can turn deserts into rivers and arid grounds into springs of water? extol Me at the meetings and make this generation understand that Royal Dignity is Mine; what return can they make to Me for My Sovereignty?
My Royal Heart raises the poor in spirit, I lift the needy and the wretched to give them royal vestments allowing them to walk in My Courts; I bless them by imprinting My Holy Name all over them opening the gates of virtue to them so that their behaviour pleases My Royal Dignity; schooled by Me they will learn how to lead a blameless life;
I shall proclaim in all assemblies
the greatness of Your Name,
without fear I shall cry out that Mercy is with us,
stooping from the heavens to reach us;
and to those who hound me, lovingly intervene;
rescue me from human oppression;
support me as You have promised me
and let the foul and lying tongue be subdued;
have you noticed any limitations? go on, say it ....
Am I wrong if I say: on the “inner walls” of Your House, there, I find not much of a support ...
no one will be able to strike you down not even the “inner walls”, as you have called them, of My House, so long as I am with you and by your side;
the “inner walls” would have closed over you, but the masons who toiled to build those “inner walls” have toiled in vain; your mere zeal for My House which devours you will topple them ...
I have not asked you whether you had support on the “inner walls” of My House or not; I have asked you if you have noticed any limitations ...
No; not in the whole; Your Message is expanding,
and I see Your Glory and Your Power;
great are Your achievements, my God;
You have let Your children see Your Glory;
You rule over everything ... and You are expanding
Your Holy Message of True Life in God ....
so do not fear; whosoever bows you down, I will raise you up again; I have raised you up to be My pupil; it is I, your Bridegroom, so come, enter into the joy of your Lord!
listen carefully and write: to this day My Merciful Calls have not been given much attention,[25] neither have My warnings been regarded; My pupil, My Return is imminent, I have sent you out to proclaim My Words in this world, and to speak in My Holy Name but many still would not listen;
Satan’s hour is coming to an end for My triumph is near; this is why he holds so many captive, bound with apostasy; bound with falsehood;
generation! generation, your apostasies have been many but greater than this one I have not seen and today this evil generation refuses to listen to My Merciful calls and continues to follow the dictates of their own hardened hearts; shrugging their shoulders, they say, My daughter: “we prefer to do as we please ...” and they settle for evil .... since they have abandoned the Fountain of Living Water they shall die in their apostasy;
My Father is more than offended; how much longer will the earth be divided and riven? how much longer will My Church be divided and in rebellion?[26] the Spirit of My Father is constantly blasphemed and ridiculed by many of My ministers; has this generation not yet heard an uproar from heaven? have you not yet heard from the highest heaven a lamentation from the saints?
ah, Vassula, to see these souls[27] delight in their abomination, how would heaven not claim vengeance? and I would add with tears in My Eyes, that many of My Church’s dignitaries trust more on what is thought highly of by men, yet forget that by Me these things are loathsome in My Sight;
I ask you solemnly: do I not fill heaven and earth? will I not then pour out My Holy Spirit on all mankind and carry out My Promise?
and so I tell all those who follow the dictates of their hardened hearts: “since you do not see the earth being filled with the brightness of the glory of My Spirit, and you continue to call evil what is good and holy, by your own incredulity you will draw upon your heads your own sins;”
blessings on him who believes, may they enter into My Joy!
I would not like anyone to fall in the path of delusion and believe that My Father’s wrath has diminished; His Mercy is great but His severity is as great; and ah, generation, how can you escape damnation? what you have been sowing all these years you will reap ....
so, Vassula, your race is not over, extol My Name in My assemblies;[28] I have given you a spiritual gift to be able to turn the hearts of fathers towards their children and the hearts of children towards their fathers; many would profit from your gift, and from your labours; those who will listen will receive in their hearts sanctifying graces and by these graces much of the rust of their sins would be healed, because they would have been those who had welcomed My Holy Spirit of Grace;
these times are the times in which Scriptures[29] speak of My Day and of a devouring fire, when the sky will break into flames, and woe for the unrepentant heart! how much more could I have warned you, generation? My divine visitation is imminent and the Fire of the Purification is nearing in which your souls would melt like wax, by its heat;
I have offered you, generation, and I am still offering you the condescension of My intimate and divine friendship, but you have not accepted it and many of you have not understood what the Bridegroom was offering you;
daughter, remember that I have you enveloped into My special care; have you not heard the testimonies of those[30] I had given the grace to see My Countenance on you, invigorating them with My appearance? so do not underestimate My divine Power; I will continue to show Myself on you, adorning you with My Countenance for this pleases My Father;
keep your eyes fixed on your frailty, your wretchedness, your imperfections and your so many misgivings, then graciously give Me always the liberty to demand from you your time and your willingness to christianise this dechristianised society of yours, interceding lovingly as well for the Unity of My Church;
let your sole interest be on My Interests; plead for the conversion of sinners; these prayers offered to Me are like an aromatic fragrance of incense; this[31] sigh of yours fragranced My Heart and it was My pleasure to receive it ...
love Me and make reparations for those who recrucify Me daily .... enjoy My Presence, I am with you;
I, Jesus bless you; ic;
March 3, 1999
Lord?
I Am; ...naha lishbu firü nabish khaleh shbekh nirü malekh bissä; mbarakh abshan khedir lah coghar;[32]
I am your Saviour, your All, your Heaven; blessed is he who receives Me; have my Peace; I, Jesus, bless you;
it is marvellous to see you depend entirely on My Power! I would hate to see you become habitual and not depend on grace; see? My Divine Presence, how distinct it is when I am in communication with you?
Vassula, hear and write: “your salvation lies in conversion and tranquillity;” this was one of My Themes that I was addressing to all of you in these past years; but in return for what the Bridegroom[33] was offering, He still receives hostility and disdain;
He calls out and says: “My Return is imminent, be prepared to receive Me in grace while Grace is still at your very doors!” but in your lethargy, generation, your darkness continues to increase in you, growing ever more arrogant; My Light is shining so bright, yet in your obscurity, generation, no one sees it; here I come to illuminate your dreadful night but to this day My Holy Spirit is not honoured;
you fill yourselves, generation, with all that is not holy and is an abomination in My Eyes, you hear of emissaries sent from Me, and you show your gratitude by raising your hands calling out your praises to Me for sending them as ‘ambassadors of the Most High’ to be among you; but instead of pondering over My Words, your endurance is affected by your inclinations towards sensationalism; these people are like Scriptures say of them: “they are like a drowsy man, besotted with sleep whom you are trying to rouse up, having explained to him certain things, when you have finished he will say, ‘what is it all about?’ his heart, like a broken jar will not hold any of My given knowledge, then, like a fool he is led astray;”
this is why Satan has raised so many false prophets, who ape[34] My Teachings and My Divine Actions; so many of you are reading what does not come from Me but are of human origin and a false creation by the evil one; but I will call all hidden deeds, good or bad, to judgement; I called out from the very beginning: “come all of you who wander in this desert and discover Me, your Triune God;”
see, there is no closed door from My side, but My Calls are not heeded nor are they honoured; My frequent visits to you, together with My chosen one, bringing all the way to your feet My Salvific Love Hymn to renew you and restore My tottering House, have been left uncultivated;
to some of you, I said: “I will now strip you of My visits since you seem to be indifferent to My request of multiplying the fruits of her labours in your hands by evangelising;” and so I have; moreover, this departure and abstinence is necessary for your growth; this is the hour, or never, to take up the sickle and reap vigorously; reap a harvest you never prepared yourself and have My blessings;
Vassula, My adoptive child, learn that We[35] are constantly by your side, transforming you through loving union; I have immersed you in My limpid springs,[36] that flow from My Mouth to teach you Wisdom, penetrating you in Us for a deeper understanding of Our Triune Deity; therefore, who could have given you such tranquillity, such freedom of the spirit, who could have covered you with sapphires?[37] and now who is giving you rest in His Arms withdrawing you from creatures?
from the beginning I have sent you, with royal prodigality, still dripping from My limpid springs, to be among the wretched and the poor; you have germinated in My springs, and as Moses, whom I had enveloped by a cloud, I have you enveloped in My Arms in a holy contemplation, during which your soul and mind are lifted in the Divine;[38]
in My benevolence and the ineffable condescension of My Love I have given you now and then glimpses of the Beatific Vision; to keep you happy I have appeared on you, sometimes like a transparent veil, and at other times I englobed you entirely, to show that you come from My limpid springs;
to encourage you I have given signs in your assemblies and wonders to accompany you and the mission I have given you; this generation has been witnessing dazzling wonders;
ah![39] if only some would value more the treasures We have been pouring on them ...
I[40] am the vivifying substance of your soul and He who brought you into a filial love with Our Divinity to lead a divine life and become another child, by adoption, of the Father; I am the Sovereign Master of your soul but your Friend as well, giving you access to free speech, allowing you to express your opinion, your thoughts and your free will which I have restored to you;
so you see, My Vassula, what it is like to be a daughter by grace as the Word is Son by nature?
you have been called to participate in this Divine Salvific Plan but to enter as well in the Triune life; come and breathe in Me and fill your soul with Our Divine Love, this Divine Love that draws you into a perfect union with Us;
listen, My chosen one, I know how diligent you are when it comes to My Interests and My Glory; I know too how much sacrifice you offer to the world to convert and how devout and eager you are to console Me when you see Me stretching out My Hand imploring, beseeching My House to unite by reconciling and making peace, and I know too how you feel when you see Me tearful for the rejection I get;
but now, in My turn, I want once more to reassure you of the favours I granted you and of My affection I have for you; yes, I know too how My absences[42] can leave you in pain even though they are not of long duration but are temporary,
Ah my Anointed One,
my mind still cannot conceive Your absences
without being anguished.
ah, but I have sworn an oath which I never will retract, this of ending your mission together, of never abandoning you;
victory is near, for the Power of My Love is far greater than the power of evil and all hell put together; so rejoice and allow Me to keep you in My service, keep your ears opened to the Voice of Holy Wisdom; it is My ardent wish to instruct you and then I can complete on you the Divine Work I had started;
cloistered in Me, in My Heart, I want you to be in a permanent state of contemplation in which your soul remains tranquil and inebriated with My sweetness; keep aspiring from My Heart My revelations and instructions, so that you forward them to this generation and for all others to come; the Holy Spirit will continue to favour you with His Sublime Light into your intellect and through this Light you will embellish My Church; remain small, truly small, allowing His power of action to be even more efficacious; profess the Creed with love and proceed in Our Light and never doubt of Our Wealth, of Our Mercy and of Our Tenderness shown to you;
My Father has opened your heart by a mere Glance of His, like a sharp ray of Light that incises, He opened your heart and filled it with Our luminous and Divine Light, revealing Our Image within you, turning your heart into Spring, renewing you with a flow of virtues, renewing Our Sanctuary and Our Domain so that you may be the just herald who would allow Us to engrave on you Our Love Hymn, enriched with boundless mystical knowledge and understanding;
come, My Divine Plan will be accomplished in you with Tenderness and not with sorrow; receive My blessings and do not fear; I have engaged you for this apostolate of Unity and by engaging you I honoured you to engage you to My Cross so that you may absorb all Its phases; embrace It with love and remember Its victory!
I, Jesus, who am near you, bless you; ic;
The Spirit of God speaks through me,
His Word is on my tongue,
He embedded me in His Heart like a precious stone on a crown,
He stooped from His Throne to lay on my path a bed of roses;
You have yielded Your Sceptre to a non-existent creature
never caring whether this merciful gesture of Yours
would cheapen Your Sceptre;
I have been taught learnings of the Sages in Your Bosom,
from a filthy rag You’ve turned me into Your herald,
Blessed is Your Name. Amen.
March 9, 1999
The Spirit of God revealed to me how one becomes a child of God;
being thus freed, we can now enjoy the same freedom and glory
as the rest of the other children of God.
The Spirit of Love has unfolded in front of my eyes
the Glory of the Triune God
with all Their Splendour and Treasures.
And now I can say with tranquillity in my soul:
“The Spirit has captured my soul
and turned me into His belonging,
and at the same time gave me my real freedom.
In His Grace He offered me a Royal Festival,
He offered Himself to me.
Then, like a River, He flowed in me,
renewing me without ceasing,
renewing my union with the Triune God;
Supplier of all gifts,
You have given me Your friendly Flame
communicating with me in Person,
bringing me to the Father and to the Son,
uniting my soul to them as well;
Divine Flame of my heart,
You who transfigured Your abode to Your taste
to satisfy Yourself and satisfy me,
I now shout for joy!
I can hear now a Voice
and I can no longer say:
“I do not recognise”;
I feel a Breath sliding over my face
and I cannot deny that Someone is standing before me,
smiling, shining,
how can I say: “I am not in the presence of the Divine”?
Now I have opened my mouth
but my tongue shaped those words through the Spirit
and if my heart will utter words of wisdom,
again it will be through the Spirit of Grace.
My Vassula,[43] I want equality of love ....
love Me and aspire from Me all the divine inspirations which belong to the sons and daughters of the Most High; I have set Our dwelling-place[44] in order, I have put everything straight, because I am a God of order; I have been visiting you as I did with the Apostles to restore Our sanctuary[45] for Our good pleasure, then I have set My Throne inside you; I revealed My gifts and My treasures to you, and I adorned you with My mere Presence, it pleased Me to possess you, and pour in you My Wisdom so that your soul shines forth in splendour; I have immersed you in Our limpid springs, to revive you;
– And I can say now:
“I found rest, and I am enjoying Your Riches;”
even when I depart from this earth
I will leave these Treasures
for future generations that are to come.
it is a trifle for Me to cover you with My Wealth; have you not heard that God never ceases to give Himself to all of you?
even as I am ceaselessly giving Myself to everyone, so will it be with you when I would prepare you to meet your Bridegroom; you would be giving yourself to the Lover of mankind, becoming one spirit with the Divine; like a true son and daughter of God, you would become in this elevated state of grace a perfect image of the Triune God, and all your undertakings will be done without any flaw, since they would be divine and according to Our Mind and Our Will;
even, My Vassula, your movements will be changed into Ours; every gesture, every step you will take in your life will be done in Our Love and they will keep amplifying by grace; as a daughter, a true daughter of the Most High, your spirit will be immersed in Our Divinity;
it is I, sweet daughter, who brought you into this filial love and into this Divine union, expanding your heart to receive more of Us so that We receive more of you, to give Ourselves more to you so that you give yourself more to Us; in this cycle you will be giving Us all that belongs to Us already; this is My triumph in you, the triumph of having brought you, after you had given Me your free will, into a perfect union of Divine Love with Us;
see how good it is to surrender? how could I have fulfilled My actions otherwise?
Sovereign Master I am now in your soul, but as I have told you once before, I am not only a Sovereign Master, but your Friend and Beloved as well; I have built you up to become a child of God who, being Our offspring, as any offspring, would have the right as well to share and give its opinion; even to govern with His Father;
in the tranquillity of My Breath in you, you will see things through Our Light and the way We see them; so I am telling everyone:
be rich in poverty, and I will turn a favourable Eye on you; let me call you as well, son or daughter of the Most High, and you will rule with Us; allow Me to set you on your feet to enable you to move in Me; allow Me to set My Throne in you so that you too can say to others: “I have found rest ...” have you no desire to see your Father? do you not languish to meet God? if you do, then I must give you birth, yes, you have to be reborn of Me to see your Father; no child has ever seen his father before being born;
happy the man who meditates on the Freedom I can give; this Freedom will carry you as a Bridegroom carries His Bride into perfecting your union with Us; the transfiguration of love imprinted on your soul will be such that henceforth nothing will be able to separate you from Us;
Our Lord is filling us
with Knowledge and Understanding
revealing to us good and evil;
What more can one ask for?
The Most High has established His School in our hearts,
As a Light it shines from within and without;
He stoops from His Throne
to show us the magnificence of His works;
And as He set Knowledge before us,
He sets His Throne within us;
adorning our soul majestically with His Presence;
Holy is His Name;
What is man to assess God?
and yet many of them do;
How can it be possible for any man
to fathom His Greatness and His Marvels?
and yet some think they can;
Being too ready to show they know
shows their shallowness of mind;
This is why the Holy Spirit
conceals His Treasures from them,
and keeps them for the lowly;
Yes, Lord, in every way
You have made it known, through ages,
that You exalt the lowly
and the proud of heart You rout;
You have never disdained the poor in spirit,
but stood by them always and everywhere.
April 25, 1999
It is known that You, my God,
take always the side of the virtuous:
So please, give my eyes light,
let my heart rejoice in You,
Lover of mankind;
Lord, You, in all Your Sovereignty,
bent the heavens all the way to my room
and You came down;
You left Your Throne.
God is inside His city now and she will not fall as long as He lives in her …[46]
My heart and soul have been nourished by the King;
(I answered the angels.)
yes![47] the King has favoured you, moved by your wretchedness, He yielded His Royal Sceptre to address His poem to you and bless you; come! meditate on God’s marvels ....
Ah ... my heart has become like liquid in His Presence;
how can I forget God’s Tenderness?
how can I forget His marvellous kindness?
I[48] am on your side; My glance is on My chosen one; I have blessed you for you are one of those who sprouted from My Heart, still dripping with myrrh; I have engraved all over you these words: “Your Lord God desires equality of Love from you;”
yes, I alone can clothe you in My splendour and give you the indispensable Light; I alone, in My Divinity can impress upon your soul My Image of Holiness; it is I, your God, who can perfect you and lift you to travel with Me in My company; come to Me and prolong your gaze on My Holy Face so that you may understand fully that you are joint heiress with Me, united to Me and in Me .... receive, daughter-of-the-King,[49] more of Me, allowing Me to receive more of you;
My wish is to give more of Myself to you, so that you can give more of yourself to Me; I will be obtaining in this way all that belongs to Me already; through My Divine Love that will be poured in you, you will be deified, transfiguring your soul, so that My Father identifies you on Judgement Day with Me;
in your so miserable times, generation, where sin has become your master and is being poured in you like venom, I, the Master of Love and Mercy, pour in abundance on you, to heal you, the antidote, that is My Holy Spirit; I pour in abundance on you My Mercy, with anointed Messages from the Treasures of My Heart; I am the Divine Source of Graces;
he who journeys in the dark will end up his journey in the dark; he who chooses to journey in the light will end up his journey in the light; I am the Light of the world; anyone who follows the Light will not be walking in the dark, but will radiate the light of life; I am the Life ....
generation, why, why do you torment your soul in those obscure regions of Satan, subduing your will to his evil designs? I am the Way, the Truth and the Life and it is through Me you could enter heaven; if you say you are weak, come to Me and draw strength from Me so that one day you too will be able to chant:
“my Triune God, has shone in my heart; the Living God has given me, the unworthy one, a spiritual resurrection, and as Moses was enveloped by a cloud, I am being enveloped by mystical learnings coming from Holy Wisdom; and as the sun inundates the creation with its light, my Lord and my God has inundated my soul with His Teachings and has poured in me torrents of Divine Love; He has given me instructions and knowledge again through Holy Wisdom, to understand His Glory and to comprehend that He is The Divine Bridegroom of all His creation; His exuberant Love drew my soul into the nuptial chamber of His Heart where a divine union was performed; then my Beloved rose, afire with majestic Love to show me His Treasures; and in this nuptial chamber, where my Beloved keeps all His Treasures, I discovered:
- the treasure of knowing and understanding God;
- the treasure of intimacy;
- the treasure of joy and consolation;
- the treasure of the path of virtues;
- the treasure of the Holy Spirit;
- the treasure of Holy Wisdom, an inexhaustible treasure to men;
- the treasure of sweet converse with the Divine;
yes, indeed, the Lover of mankind has enriched me with His Love and filled my heart with His inexhaustible treasures;”
Love compels Me to yield My Royal Sceptre, taking pity on this generation’s desolation; Love compels Me to deploy limitless Mercy on your aridity, generation, leading Me to bend all the way to you and cover you with My precious Blood to conceal your imperfection;
now, My Vassula, I will have you converse with My Mother...
call in mind, My child, the pierced side, feet and hands of your Saviour, Jesus Christ, who eternally sits on the right hand of God the Father and reigns in Glory; Jesus and I are in constant intercession for the salvation of souls; My Immaculate Heart too is pleading the Father to obtain His Mercy for this generation; here I am grieving again for the injustice done to so many of My children,[50] increasing God’s Cup of Justice; I need acts of reparation and prayers to remedy this evil; cry out to the Father and say: “Father, forgive them for they know not what they are doing;”
then come and cloister yourself in My Royal Heart; there you will find your peace but at the same time you will taste and feel My agony and sorrow in the depths of My being as I am moved by what I see; I see this flow of ceaseless evil, without a moment’s interruption, which comes from Satan;
to put an end to all of this, I need from all of you acts of reparation and constant prayers .... without repentance evil will increase; God is sending Me in these days to all of you to transmit His Grace for a renewal of your heart; My maternal Love is grace to you as well;
be good;
Grant O Heavenly Mother
the Grace of God on us all, so unworthy,
to be able to ask God sincerely
pardon for our sins and the sins of others;
Grant us the inestimable treasure
of God’s intimate friendship,
and the noblest treasure of the divinity
which is the closeness to God:
God offering His Heart to all of us;
Amen.
I bless you; and forgive[51] all those who cast stones at you; I want you fair,[52] and seek God’s ways always;
June 21, 1999
My daughter, in order to elucidate certain sayings of Mine and to progress your soul into the depths of Wisdom and of the knowledge of Myself, I appear to be repeating Myself sometimes, but this is one way of edifying your soul, progressing it gently into sanctity;
I am pouring in you, since you have given Me, your God, the required space (in you), quantities of My Graces for the benefit of the Church; nothing of what I have written will go in vain; in fact the Church will fulfil its needs; I have raised you with royal prodigality, no, I have not raised you because I have found you worthy but I have called you by the free gift of My Grace and it is in My Justice that I grant these Graces; no one is innocent enough and worthy to receive from Me such royal prodigalities;
never tire studying the pages of all the notebooks I filled, for they are brimming with knowledge and with the sweetness of My Heart, unveiling My Beauty by enhancing it in your soul ... I shone inside you, I shone a brilliant light within you to wake you up so that you leave behind[54] you all the world’s trivialities; I performed prodigies in you to sing poetry to Me; to extend My Kingdom in you I poured Myself in you, lifting your soul into a spiritual jubilation, so that I hear from My chosen one My Own Canticle of Love; and thus, all that you received of Divine value returns to Me, the Author of Prodigies;
ah, Vassula, when I raise souls by Grace in that mysterious way and they see what eye has never seen and hear what ear has never heard and learn things beyond the mind of man, I am glorified in My Glory; and as I advance in your nothingness taking delight at every step I take, I approach My aim of bringing your soul to My demand, and that is: equality of My Love;
no one can ever reach on earth that height of My Love; you will say: “then why does My God who transcends greatness and fullness, demand something of me that I cannot fulfil?” I only demand what belongs to Me already;[55]
I have sent you My Holy Spirit to dwell in you and make Our Love known to you, transfiguring your soul to desire Us, to be able to declare with delight: “I possess God, and He possesses me!” My Vassula, one has to receive this inestimable grace, to pronounce these words, words spoken so sweetly, motivated by the Spirit of Love, whom you allowed to dwell in you;
have you not heard, that the Word of God is something alive and active: it cuts like any double-edged sword but more finely: it can slip through the place where the soul is divided from the spirit;[56] so, daughter, love Me as much as I love you and as perfectly as you can with the love that My Holy Spirit has so graciously infused in you, you will only be giving Me back what belongs to Me already;
in the beginning[57] I had asked you to love Me, and you answered: “I love you ...” and in My smiles, I said: “love Me more ...”; now My Holy Spirit progressed you to get to know Me and love Me bringing you to Me, as a bride is brought to her bridegroom and perform an everlasting union; in that same manner, but in a more ineffable way, the Holy Spirit brought you to an everlasting union of love with Us and in Us the Triune God;
You are the Great Godhead,
the Almighty, the awe-inspiring God,
You are the incomprehensible Splendour,
surpassing all the splendours of Your Angels put together;
You, who fill all things without being contained
neither by their limits nor by their very being;
My hand trembles in front of Your Divine Majesty while I am writing;
how to this day, Lord, could I conceive in my little mind still
that the Prodigious Prodigy of prodigies Himself
is in familiar communication with me daily
and converses with me in this delightful manner?
How do you want me to fully understand in my wretchedness,
O Lord, that You, the Unseen God,
the One who encompasses all beings,
is speaking to me with such sweetness and tenderness?
what mind is able to grasp this prodigy?
You have blessed me with the unction of Your Name
to save me and others through Your Hymn of Love;
You have blessed me by a triple Resurrection Kiss
and made me a close partner of Your Salvific Plan;
Can anyone come to me and say:
“I can measure the magnificence of God
and His inexpressible grandeur”;
No one can say this,
because my Lord and my God is a fathomless Well
of hidden and unknown Treasures.
indeed I Am .... We[58] have been calling you to rest in Our Arms, like a child in his mother’s arms, you are called as a child by grace, to share in Our Salvific Plan, you are all called to become gods by participation and enter in the Triune life to rule with Us; indeed I am Sovereign of your soul, oh, but such an intimate Friend as well, who can draw you into deification;
in spite of your awesome wretchedness, at this moment while I am with you in this way, and you, while you are with Me in this way, enveloped in a holy contemplation, not even the most solemn festivals given in My honour are as delightful and pleasing to Me as in these moments of your contemplation; when My Divine Presence is with you, I rejoice in the presence of the one whom I have made to become the bone of My Bone, the flesh of My Flesh; I, by My Own Hand, raised a sanctuary, would I then not enjoy My Own good Work?
Kindest Lover of mankind,
You are once more sounding like music to my ears;
God of unfailing Fidelity,
You who are moved by creatures like me
who have a crust of rust all over,
You do not hesitate to cry out loudly in the heaven
before anyone makes a move:
“she is acquitted!”
how is it possible then
not to melt in love in Your Presence?
and go out, running with both hands raised up,
shouting at every cross-road:
“My Creator is my Liturgy!”
You have displayed Your Mercy from the earliest times;
You are my Maker,
superbly Beautiful and Gracious;
Your Mercy, my Lord, is ever so great
that the most intelligent elite in the Church
will still sound like a fool if he tries to explain it;
come, beloved, enter into the joy of your Lord;
you have heard the Messages of your salvation (given to you) bestowing upon you at the same time a variety of gifts of My Grace; in the Power of the Holy Spirit exercise all that I have given you and do not get discouraged for I am with you;
I am reminding you, little grain, that you are fighting in the same battle as all My Prophets fought; gales can blow on you, floods can rise to drown you, but nothing of these will overcome you, for I am with you and in My good care to withstand your frailty;
lean on Me; and do not despair on the situation of the Church; ecclesia will revive!
I am before you;
June 30, 1999
I have been teaching you these days with delight, how all My sons and daughters can become gods by participation if they allowed Me to flow in them My Divine Love; I want to extend My Reign in them and take possession of them, as I want them to take possession of Me;
if they would not contradict My Holy Spirit, He will take possession of them, and turn them into a blossoming garden; He will fill them with virtues and perform marvels within them to build up in them the fullness of Christ; if they allow Me to flow Myself in them I will turn them into adoptive sons and daughters of Mine;
My Grace I reveal to you and salvation has been given to you through My Son, Jesus Christ; in order to set you free, He sacrificed Himself for you; in order for you to share a Divine Life, He constituted the Holy Eucharist to sanctify you and partake of His Body and Blood; you are not partaking any mere bread or wine, but you are partaking God Himself; if you would only reflect on this Mystery and understand it fully!
the Inaccessible God is Accessible to you, the Invisible God is visible to you, and ready to divinise you; He whose grandeur surpasses all angelic forces and all beings and all that has been created, is at your disposal, creation! God Himself is being offered to you to give you back your divinity, divinising your soul to enter Eternal Life;
if you allow Me to flow in you, I will make you understand all those things which are invisible to you, in order to bring your soul into a full repentance; this repentance will transform your so miserable sullied state into a pure, dignified transformation of body and soul, ready then to partake the One you think Unattainable and Inaccessible;
He who glories at My right Hand, He whom you call, daughter, ‘my Liturgy!’ gives Himself to you, to eat His Flesh and drink His Blood in order that you become the flesh of His Flesh, the bone of His Bone;
I will execute at any time and to anyone who wishes, My act of Love, if they cry out to Me:
“come, and make me Your property
and your adoptive child!”
and before anyone makes a move in Heaven, My Cry will be heard by everyone:
“acquitted!”
then you too, My child, will sprout from My springs and become god by participation;
I will not be like a ship that cuts through heaving waves and leaves no trace to show where it passed; no, I will let everyone hear you and know that the Triune God now lives in you and is hidden in you; Our vivifying passage within you will not go by unnoticed for you will praise Me saying:
“I have learned how to possess God, from my Father; God is my Father, it is He who fathered me and made Himself known to me without losing His transcendence; He, whose Magnificence is magnified in all His creation, has filled me with His Knowledge; the Triune God who encompasses all beings, filling all things with His Brightness without being contained by their limits, offered Himself to me, ordering all things within me to be good, and now my soul is content and satisfied for being filled, in spite of my wretchedness, with God;”
yes, be happy! be happy all you who hear the melody of My Voice and have your fill in Me;
Ah, my Lord,
Your Baptismal Kiss,
ended my rebellion;
my Lord is displaying His Greatness
as He did from earliest times;
His Treasuries are open,
and His Treasures fly out of Heaven like birds,
while displaying His Portents in Heaven;
across the sky these Treasures form a glorious sight;
We only have to ask for them
and our Father by His Own Hand
will draw them from Heaven
and place them in our heart,
so that from thereon we would be able
to express thoughts worthy of His Gifts.
and I will set Knowledge in you to know Me as Thrice Holy;
July 30, 1999
have My peace and be patient, come and say:
“Father, all Merciful,
I am slow of understanding
your Divine Will;”
say it;[60]
this is what I want from you: be calm, my bride, and do not overload yourself with work; a rose has sprung in you, fresh and blooming, and while you are seated in silent meditation, contemplating Us, uniting yourself to Us, the scent of your rose fragrances Us, sending Us a most delicate scent, while We watch over you, sending Our rays in you, keeping it fresh and blooming; were you to stop contemplating Us, the loveliness of your rose will fade away....
so, your Divine Bridegroom tells you: do not substitute your contemplation of Me with other things that withdraw you from My embrace; do not allow those who contest everything you say, My beloved, to dictate to you their whims, for I had sent you one of the noblest angels from My angelic choirs to lead you to Me; this heavenly prince withdrew you from the world, to enter, with Him, My heavenly Courts;
a human heart is too small to understand all of what I have been doing to you, especially in your so evil times where so many learned men play the sages;
I have, as I have told you, sent to you, to accompany you in your mission, a prince of heaven followed with other angelic forces, as I usually do for My chosen ones; having entered into My heavenly Courts, I courted you with poetry and religion, to turn you into My harp; I have made you experience what My Gaze could give you as delights, sending It to you as a gold gleam in your eyes, filling them with My Light;
in My superabundant zeal to teach you with Wisdom, I overlooked your frailty; just as any pupil starts his school by learning the alphabet, I taught you My alphabet which is to give your whole mind to My Word;
I allowed your eyes to see My glorious Majesty; I have entrusted you with something beyond all knowledge;
be vigilant because your enemy would like to see you out of your devotion to Me and control you by overloading you with work, as a vessel when overloaded will sink; you, who are My vessel carrying My Divine Treasure, do not overload yourself lest you sink; I want to see you happy and more in contemplation of Me; your witnessing is not over; I will now let you plunge once more into My Divine Springs, granting your soul rest;[61]
ah, how could I forget the moment I approached you .... with the greatest care so as not to frighten you away I stepped by your side; and with the greatest delicacy I revealed My Love to you which until then was quite unknown to you; you had never known before of My Infinite Mercy nor the Abyss of My Love;
rejoice then, daughter, and unload your worries on Me, and let this be as a lesson to others as well, who carry more than they can carry; I do not want you to weary yourself, in order to be more productive and effectual for My Work; I said that you must not delay My Work and that you were to follow My pace alone;
all of these messages come from on high and are inspired by Me; they can profitably be used for teaching, and for refuting error; they can be used for guiding the Church into Unity and for guiding people’s lives and teaching them to be holy; they are given to you for a better explanation[62] to the Revelation[63] given to you; they are an inexhaustible source of amazing grace for you all to renew you;
I am the Giver of Life, the Renewer of all things; I am the Source of heavenly Manna; yes, indeed! I have approached you as you were, to make an amazing and prodigious union with you; unworthy you were, and far from My demand of ‘equality of love’, but delightful in your nothingness and your openness to My Voice;
let Me share with you; from the day you died to yourself, as a sign of My intimate friendship, I espoused you to Me, so that I have you near Me to whisper in your ear sound counsels that you may, in your turn, counsel others; I lavished you with My tenderness and My fatherly affection; with a flow of Divine Sweetness I asked you to travel with Me and for Me, from North to South and from East to West; and as I have said to you before, for your protection I have given you a multitude of angels and archangels, princes of the highest orders to accompany you in your mission; giving them orders to remain at those regions where My seeds were sown and protect what was sown;
I did not raise you in My kingly Courts, bestowing royal gifts on you for no reason; now I am taking profit from your labours and I am obtaining the delightful fruits of your labours; giving graces to My chosen ones are for various reasons: they are meant for the benefit of My people, the benefit of My Church, but at the same time for the eternal joy these chosen souls would obtain from Me in heaven;
as for those who contest each one of My Words and refuse to open their heart and see the great profit My Church obtained, refusing to see My Blessing and My Affection, they shall be judged as unworthy, since they have and are still to this day, underestimating My Power and My Mercy;
I had, Vassula, warned you never to get weary of doing good and to learn to be patient, because you would harvest in the end and at the proper time what you had sown:
- let your work be meritorious and that nothing goes in vain;
- let My consolations give you courage and light in your soul;
- let My fatherly affection be your constant delight in you and an intimate breeze in your soul;
- let My Divine caresses be your healing balm when your soul is wounded or weary, invigorating you and effacing in you every sort of bitterness that may arise in you;
- let every spiritual exercise you do magnify in Me that you may obtain from Me boundless graces;
- let Me always be your only love and above all;
- let your mouth contain the Oil[64] given to you so that you sweetly proclaim My Greatness;
- may you appear before Me one day, perfect and honourable in My Courts ....
beloved, My Name, Yahweh, when pronounced by you, delights Me to such an extent that it makes Me incline towards you with great affection and My joy cannot be contained; the whole Court of heaven attracted by My Joy, wholeheartedly and with one voice, praise My inebriated Love I have for you and for My fatherly affection; they praise Me for My Infinite Mercy I have for My creation; and now let Me hear from you three “Kyrie eleisson” ...
Kyrie eleisson,
Kyrie eleisson,
Kyrie eleisson....
My Mercy I give to you and My Blessings as well; remember, do not allow yourself to be overworked; I, God, will continue to hold you in My Power and My Grace;
Yahweh is My Name;
October 6, 1999
I lift my soul to the Lord,
to penetrate in the depths of my Father,
and taste His Sweetness;
My heart is too small though to understand wholly
the One who encompasses all beings,
and even smaller when it tries to understand
how He who transcends all ages and everything,
He who is sealed, and unattainable,
becomes to me unsealed and attainable, penetrable;
in His Perfect Charity
He allows me to experience His Sweetness
by radiating in my soul His Visitation;
Most Royal Prodigy of the Prodigies,
I love you, please speak to me ....
ah, Vassula, I am invisible by essence, yet I make Myself knowable to those I choose to make Myself knowable; have you ever grasped Me by your hand?
I did ....
how have you grasped your God?
I have,
in a vision it pleased You to give me,
grasped Your Hand;
Your left Hand to be more precise;
I felt Your Fingers,
and Your whole Hand is what we call: of an aristocrat;
fine and lengthy fingers.
Then, I grasped You in another way too,
my Beloved, I grasped Your Presence,
I grasped You to possess You;
I have drawn Your Mercy
through my very wretchedness,
and You, Lover of Mankind,
Mercy beyond comprehension,
approached me, and offered Yourself to me.
yes, for you have seen Me, not with your physical eye, but with the eye of your heart, and you have grasped Me in an invisible manner ....
the Spirit who is your Teacher and your Lamp, lifts you to My Celestial Courts to contemplate what eye has not seen, and hear what ear has not heard; I am your family; so rely on My Power;
I have made you joint-heiress to Us; god by participation in the Holy Spirit; this is addressed as well to everyone, who have died to themselves and united themselves to Us, becoming in this divine union of love joint-heirs, through the Holy Spirit;
I have, as I have said many times before, in My boundless love named you Paraskevi[65] and My just herald, through grace alone; and as in the times of your ancestors, I have given you a spiritual gift, this of prophecy; I have commanded you to speak in My Name and proclaim without fear and with clarity all that I have been teaching you; I have set afire your soul to go forward and witness with ardour, enflaming other hearts to know Me; the Holy Spirit has been your remedy and the source of prophecy in these messages, but of all times too; it is He, who make you into gods by participation;
there is no better service given to Me than this one of bringing souls back to Me; do not lack confidence because this service alone is a divine sign that you alone are unable to accomplish if it were not through the Holy Spirit; this is exactly how the grace of the Holy Spirit is revealed; He alone gives you the possibilities to bring souls to Me;
I have, My so loved one, come to you repeatedly, not only as written words but as Power and as Holy Spirit in all Our Divinity, manifesting Ourselves as ever so present and as One in the Divine union of Our Oneness; when you faced great opposition all round you in Syros, have I abandoned you?[66] this made you the great example of My Power to the rest of the Cyclades; which creature could impose itself on My Holiness and on My Power?
I, Myself, have suffered by My Own countrymen,[67] so why are you surprised when you, who come from Me, suffer the same treatment? bear patiently as I bore patiently;
beloved, flesh of My Flesh, bone of My Bone, can you not see all the consolations I am giving you? My visit to you is not a day’s visit; My visit to you is eternal;[68] in case you have forgotten, look again at your path My Father laid out for you: He laid out sapphire upon sapphire so that your feet walk on virtues only; stand firm and do not falter; no man will be able to demolish My fortress;[69] I am living in this fortress and no man will be able to destroy My dwelling place; you have My word .... I will advance and you will follow; where the Spirit is, there is freedom and power;
today, the world has no eyes for heavenly things, this is why there is so much mistrust among the nations and no more freedom; the world believes in what it sees but these things last only for a time; go, My Vassula, and tell this decaying world all about those things that are invisible but eternal; radiate my Glory, the light has to be placed on the roof-tops, such an overwhelming light comes only from Me; My Words given to you are a lamp for lighting a way through the dark; shine in this darkness you who carry My Word;
My brightness never fades; it is right to say that God is Fire, or when you say this is the Fire of the Holy Spirit; for you can compare it to a physical fire, which enflames everything and goes through every opening; whatever it touches it sets aflame; the Fire of God is a Fire of Love and you, My Vassula, have not been spared from it; see, how it consumes you? why, which creature, if not consumed by Love, would write prayers in religious poetry to Us?
the Holy Spirit, after branding you with His fiery baptismal kiss, setting you aflame, penetrated your intelligence, crystallising your soul by His Divine Fire, as the rock is turned into a diamond, which is of pure carbon in crystallised form, from extreme heat; in this way too the Fire of the Holy Spirit purifies souls to become crystal clear and as pure as diamonds; this action of the Holy Spirit does not go without suffering, the one seized by those enamorous flames, suffers as he is kindled by fire, but by love too; as the Fire seized you, through and through, tossing you about, transforming you from rock to diamond, the Holy Spirit in His enamoured action prepares you to see God; have you not read: “happy the pure in heart, they shall see God”? once you see God, as Scripture says, your soul will cry out:
“my Joy! how right it is to love You!”
and immediately you will seize Us to possess Us .... and I will descend from the clouds to lift you and carry you on My Wings to soar the skies; and as a tour-guide, I will tell you the history of the things that are invisible to the eye and inaccessible to the touch; I will show you My Glorious Throne from where I rule but that you too, near Me, could rule with Us; ic;

People bought the books too.
[67] In records, I am inscribed that my family, from my father’s side, comes from Syros.
