My peace I give to you, My flower; do you want to say something to Me?
Yes, Jesus, I want to say something to You. Am I Your athlete?[1] Please, do not disregard my question.
I am not going to disregard your question; I could detect from your expression that you have finally understood that I have indeed engaged you into a battle; yes, you are My athlete; I am your Trainer and I have trained you to be one, have I not?
Then, let me be an athlete of an untameable zeal for Your House;
let it be then that through your mouth My Words resound now and for generations to come; My Words will stop the impudent, the scholars and impious expressions of all those who have to this day not discovered Me but rely on their own strength; just because they have the speech of a rhetorician, does not mean it would elevate them into the hidden mysteries of the Holy Spirit!
ah, Vassula, My daughter, you see, it is not a light burden to carry the Cross of Unity; I had to form someone into an athlete who would run with Me, denying herself from all of the attractive things that would delay this race; I have formed you to be an athlete to enable you to devote your heart and mind in keeping pace with Me and not have your feet making slow progress;
I once asked: “who can endure pain, calumny, set-backs, spittle and persecution? who can supply My people, My Church, indefatigably with all the Knowledge she will acquire from Holy Wisdom and be at everyone’s availability at the same time? who would be obedient to My Will and My Commandments and discern falsehood from truth and what is right from wrong? who would express herself as I would have expressed Myself and acquiesce to many of My orders? who would sermonise in a royal and melodious way My Words, kindling the hearts of My people? and who would patiently bear every tribulation and every scourge when witnessing on the mystical union between Me and My creatures? to endure and accomplish all of this I would need to find an impoverished soul, weak and frail; in this sort of poverty I find breadth and width, height and depth to fill in this vast space My prodigious Wealth; in her weakness I will be her superabundant Strength and her Royal Authority; in her frailty I will be her ineffable Munificence;”
so in My gracious condescension I deigned to choose you, train you and form you into an athlete; now I have the satisfaction of seeing you eager to please Me by willing to go into the battlefield, come always and seek Me spontaneously anytime; I am your Brother, your kin; I, who am the radiant light of the Father’s glory and the perfect copy of His divine nature, bless you;
Lord, Your visits have resurrected me and I give glory to Your infinite Mercy. Yet, Lord, I still have another question:
How is it that if You say that through my mouth Your Words will resound and give effect to many, Your Words sometimes, even spoken with fervour, have so little effect; even coming from the Godhead Himself, filling my heart with divine Love do not affect everyone? Yes, and even there are some souls who do not seem to penetrate in Your Word but remain listless; is Your athlete running in rounds in empty circles?
My lips are eager to proclaim Your righteousness, Your marvels, and I had hoped to receive a sympathetic response so that it consoles You, bringing You out of Gethsemane and allowing You to breathe some fresh air instead of the bitter and agonising air of Gethsemane;
I feel sometimes that Your athlete is failing You and a lot of athletic work goes in vain; I am labouring and I am spent to obey Your Command to revive, embellish and unite the Church, rebuilding the structure of the Church, by the power of the Holy Spirit; I am trying to follow faithfully Your Command to me, but it seems that after a lot of sweat and with a lot of struggle, having re-modelled part of a wall of the structure, lo and behold who comes trotting along? Oppressors; oppressors appear in the night to demolish with one blow the freshly built wall; having put all their emblems on to show their authority, they slither like snakes and do their job; all the sweat and blood shed all these years, has it been in vain?
If the demons did not choose men to accomplish through them their evil mischief then who is it that dictates to these people these heinous crimes and these diabolical frantic actions?
Tell me, Lord and Sovereign, have I met with Your demands? Have I at all done any visible structure worthy of honour for You? Are my eyes lingering on inanities perhaps? Has unity seen any light or progressed an inch or two? With all the graces I received have I done anything at all to honour You? Or am I turning in circles? You endowed my spirit with a prophetic gift, what have I given You in return, my Lord, for all that You have adorned me with in Your exuberant Love?
In which way have I been negligent?
You, who raise kings to thrones, are known that if they grow proud of their unending sway, then You fetter them with chains, binding them in the bondage of distress;
I am a witness and I can witness that I have seen and watched great men fall when they did not listen to You; Your divine justice fell on them like a thunderbolt destroying them together with their pride. Yet, Your Mercy did not lack to show them several times all that they have done and all the sins of pride they were committing.
In earlier days I had to suffer to learn not to stray from You; in later days I still suffered to see the arrogant offending You; these days I still suffer to watch so much indifference shown to Your Merciful Call; Suffering has become my daily bread....
I have given you the Source[2] of prophecy and through His teachings and good counsel you have given Me your heart and your will; these two things suffice for Me; as for your failures and your lacking, I filled where you lacked, and in My exuberant love I have for you it obliged Me to take care Myself where you had failed Me; in My fatherly Mercy I looked upon all your negligences as a father would look upon the negligences of his own little child: with compassion and ever so ready to help out with tenderness, whispering soft words of love so as not to frighten you away while showing you once more how I care for you and for your own progress;
as for the afflictions you suffer for the sake of My Church and for My Sake, My sister, My cathedral, do not despair; with one single of My glances I rebuild what has fallen; I have once shown you My Cup, and I was beckoning to you to follow Me so that I invest you with My Robe, gird you with My revelation, and entrust you with My Word;
oh, delight of the Father who was about to be hurled out into the valleys, the seas and the mountains! created for this purpose to tread down the proud and the arrogant and the sound of their revelling, hushing them to silence; when I showed My Cup to you, you rose and said: “Jesus, allow me to drink from It, offering You thus everything that may bring You consolation;” and I, touched and delighted with your offer, reclined on you and embraced you; I was embracing in My Arms a little daffodil;[3] hardly born and hardly out of her ill-health, yet all heart; your frailty has brought Me to tears more than once and more than anyone else in the entire world! here you were, scarcely born yet renouncing to your will already and offering Me soul and body, without restrain; above all, stretching out courageously your little hands towards My Cup, precipitating yourself at the Altar to lift It to your lips and drink from It!
when I saw you running towards the Altar decisively with determination, a great sound was heard from heaven, singing: “Alleluia! glory to our Lord who conquered her!” after this, I lifted the Cup to your lips ordering you to taste It only but not empty Its contents; I said: “bring My people to Me and put them altogether around one Altar; preach the obedience of faith to all nations in honour of My Name; show them how absurd it is to remain divided; I will always be at your side;”
I give thanks to You, my Lord,
for Your Love and Faithfulness;
I inspire love; in the Courts of My House you can remain forever; in there I govern with Majesty and in a lordly style I befriend My visitors, advising them always which course to take, in this manner I lead them where I chose ...
be strong and your heart bold, My athlete;

My Lord?
I Am; peace be with you;
I have shown you My Omnipotence in many ways; all these years I have not deprived you from My Light nor of My Mercy; all I want from you, My sister, is love; love for love, heart for heart; this is My motto for you;
- may you continue to make progress in the path of unity and that My kiss to you refreshes you anew; allow Me to remind you to be in My field like a lily, free from any anxieties or worries;
- may you progress in the path of unity you share with Me and may it widen even more now for My glory;
- let My fatherly kiss console your heart and fill your spirit with zeal for My House;
- let every member of yours sweetly repose in My Heart to obtain strength, perseverance and interior delights of well-being;
- may your labours be fruitful and your activities done in My Name, anointed with the oil of the Source of Life;
- may you be beneficial to the distressed hearts and equally good and tender to the worn down;
- let Me remain dearer to you than anyone or anything that exists on this earth so that through this act of resignation I will overlook men’s wickedness so that they can repent;[4]
- may your oppressors who govern in vainglory and pride, accusing you without mercy in their lack of sound judgment, calumniating My gifts I have given you, have their sins fall on their own head;
- let Me augment in you so that when your friends watch you, they may see Me instead of yourself, thus becoming the real reason why they love you;
- I will continue to give Myself more to you so long as you allow My Divine Will to remain in you, relying on It and renouncing your will to Mine;
- may you be blessed for having withdrawn yourself from all that attached you to this world and preferred the Source of Divine Sweetness;
- may your soul be even more motivated now by zeal for the glory of My House in drawing It with cords of love into a spiritual unity, then My Divine Image will be imprinted in It fully, shedding My Light in It once more;
- may you be the perfect icon of unity, graciously drawing everyone to live a true life in Me; by this imperial act of love I would be receiving on My Head the imperial crown of unity;
- may every violent act and hatred coming from man on you be replaced by blessings from Us;[5] these wastrels will have to answer Me in the day of Judgment;
- let every fibre of your heart live for Me giving you enthusiasm to work for Me, and as a slave who claims no wages, you too will never claim any wages but will give heart and soul for the Kingdom of Heaven;
hear Me, I have created you and placed you on earth only for this noble work; bone of My Bone, flesh of My Flesh, remain united and one spirit with Me and meditate on all the vestments I vested you with to procure free access to walk in and out of My Courts; an awesome mystery indeed it is, surpassing all human knowledge and understanding by most of My creation; but I, the heavenly Master, had My Eyes fixed on you and My Hand on yours in order to embroider together with you golden roses, giving them life to spread their sweet fragrance, perfuming not only the Church but the entire cosmos;
without the cooperation of this divine grace I have given you, you would have remained beggared; but now, through divine grace, I have cloistered you entirely in My Heart! having thus made you noble after having joined you to Us; filled and illumined by Our sublime Light, We have raised Our Sceptre and marked on you Our Name to serve Our House and address Our poem of Love to the entire world;
– may your tongue be as ready as the pen of a busy scribe and never tire to witness, even among flames;
I, Jesus, bless you; ic;

Citadel of Mine, I have called you in order to announce My Return; I have called you to reveal My unfathomable Mercy to all My children who still sit in apathy and in their own world of indifference; My persistent calls to repentance have not been heard; the world is creeping now even deeper in the mire of sin and in the shadow of death; My seed is dead for lack of irrigation; many of My shepherds have failed Me, drawing with them millions of souls in the Abyss and into perdition; can anyone say: “we have not been warned; we have not seen any celestial sign;” and they continue to live for themselves ...
this generation has become dead to My Word and prefers to live for Satan who gives them everything that is opposing My Law of Love; liberty and freedom they call it but in reality they are captives of the Evil one; each man now is equipped for war; darkness is overruling the world; their hearts that are vile and dwelled by all sorts of evil spirits are only motivated towards the Prince of Darkness;
I have given you all, time and occasions to rid yourselves of wickedness and godlessness and reflect on My Graciousness in these times of Mercy; I have, ceaselessly, by royal command displayed in the sky, for you, prodigious prodigies to revive your faith, but so many of you, especially in the United States, after having been encouraged to step into the path of virtues that lead to Me and into Eternal Life, have turned against Me and against My envoys who are the carrier of My Word; and with contempt rejected Me; both high and low alike have set their teeth to destroy this Work;
My Imperial Reign is at your very doors, but are you ready to receive Me? with largesse and with royal prodigality I laid out a banquet of spiritual food to revive your spirit; when I was there, waiting for you to feed you by My Own Hand to save you from death, you refused to come forward; considering therefore, your reluctance to a true metanoia,[6] and how you have shown hostility instead towards My warnings, what former scenes of wailing took place[7] are nothing in comparison to the sorrowful mornings that lie ahead of you;[8] sorrowful mornings that will be drawn by your own hand;
your nation governs in complete opposition to all My Law of Love which differs from your outlandish system of laws; laws that commit the most heinous crimes to the point of endangering not only the earth but the stability as well of the whole cosmos;
I have so many times yielded My Sceptre, even to the non-existent beings;[9] today, with grief, I see from above how your designs will turn against yourselves; the world already is tasting the fruits of its own course, provoking nature to rebel with convulsions, drawing upon yourselves natural catastrophes, choking itself with your own scheming; I had beckoned you for years now but very few took notice; this purification that is now like a scourge upon you, generation, will draw many towards Me and those who spurned My warnings will return to Me in their distress; then, when all these things will have taken place, when every being who non-existed will come to existing, I will set the earth on fire and free from the scourge; when God speaks, His Voice quakes the earth;
My Reign will soon be with you because My divine visitation is at hand, and all who have been called to testify openly to every inhabitant of this earth will not be suppressed any longer[10] since the people will be like a thirsty ground yearning for the dew of My Words; and they will be testifying the works of the Supreme Triune God whom they had not met before nor seen with the eye of their soul;
entreat heaven that this time of purification does not go hard on you as on Sodom and Gomorrah;
My Church will be renewed;
hold on to Me, Vassula, because I have bound behind Me many of your oppressors; lift My Cross above your head and glorify Me, affirming My might; ic;

I have learnt from You, Lord,
that our mind can never ascend to heaven through its own efforts
but that it is totally dependent on the Holy Spirit,
and it is only through grace that our mind can be lifted
allowing us to see the things that no eye has seen,
penetrating thus into the mysteries of our Triune God ...
Then, in Your Goodness and boundless Mercy
You allow everyone who wishes to follow You in the path of virtues
to walk side by side with Your Majesty,
while from Your Mouth divine Knowledge is uttered
from the Fountain of Wisdom;
Who has ever climbed the sky on his own?
If there is anyone,
let him come forward and tell me all about it ...
Blessed is he who humbles himself,
he will be lifted to the heights
to see God ...
peace be with you, My child, hear Me; all you have said is true; no one on his own can raise himself up unless I lift him through grace; and now listen: have I, or not, raised you to walk freely in and out in My heavenly Courts?
Yes, You have, Lord ...
then, have I not turned you into My harp to play music to the nations and wake them up with melody and song?
Yes, You have, Christ ...
to bring rescue to those I love, have I not spoken in poetry to them to save them, since I know that man lasts no longer than grass, no longer than the wild flowers and that from the first gust of wind he is totally gone, and ah, I would not want to lose him ...
have I not been crowning you with love and tenderness, filling your mouth with honey[11] and pouring anointed ointment all over you?
Yes, You have, my God ...
then tell Me, My beloved, why do you have a shadow in your eye?[12] no wicked sceptre has ruled this heritage[13]... I have always made My favourite friends travel by rough roads, and sometimes, so that they benefit from My companionship and My compassion, I allow them to stay bereft and lonely with no one to escort them ...
My favourite friends enjoy My favour; they are the masterpieces of My creation, for their hue is as radiant as sapphires embellishing with their radiance My Church and the cosmos as well; My favourite friends are so preciously dear to Me that, ahh ...[14] so great is My favour on them, I could not deprive them from being harried nor from any stone cast on them;
perhaps you would think that I am insensitive, wrapped up in such thick clouds, too thick for pleas and prayers to reach Me, but it would be complete folly from My part were I to facilitate their path! have you not learned from My teachings? so go and tell your heart what you have learnt, say, “my portion is Christ, but equally so is His Cross and in the same measure;”
I am not abasing you, on the contrary, I am lifting your soul to ascend in the heights of heaven in order to see the things that no eye has seen; I am the one who has driven you to walk in My Light; you do not need to be a craftsman or a philosopher to understand all of this! My favourite friend and fragrant tree, I have given you a good portion of a rare relish; it was indispensable for your progress ... now listen to Me and write these words:
establish Our Beth Myriams everywhere you can; lift the oppressed and help the orphan; protect Me, rescue Me from the gutter, shelter Me and feed Me, unload My burden and fatigue, support Me and encourage Me but above all love Me; all that you do to the least of My brethren you do it to Me ...
I bless the supporters of My life, may they remain virtuous and all-loving;
I am with you ... ic;

It was You, Beloved Father, who created my inmost self ...
and I have said: I will bless her inmost self with riches that come from Me; I will then be like a lamp for My anointed providing her inmost self with Our radiant Presence; “here, My Son and I will stay for ever, for this is the home We have chosen to abide;”
oh come! you who serve Me, serving My House, approach Me and delight Me; come and learn: it is written that if you sin, you still are Mine, since you acknowledge My power, but, knowing that I acknowledge you truly as Mine, you will not sin; therefore, to acknowledge Me is indeed the perfect virtue; to know My power is the root of immortality; I wish that this saying becomes the theme of everyone;
I have, My Vassula, been your Counsellor but Friend as well all these years, and even during the night I instructed your inmost self, giving your soul unbounded joy with My Presence; I have trained you with unbounded love to raise your eyes constantly on My luminous Presence and to no one else; I am and have always been your only Spiritual Director and Counsellor, giving your soul directives from Wisdom, I have not sent you eastward or westward, nor have I sent you to the north or to the south to look for spiritual guidance, for what better guidance given than by Myself? I was the only one who could peer through the shadowed darkness of your soul, to pronounce a true verdict to your inmost self and draw your attention to your disease; well then, have I not made you renounce to your rebellion towards Me? have I not traced out a path for you to take with My Name as your insignia and to follow My Footsteps so that you do not swerve while you walk?
Yes Lord; I have tried to keep every commandment of Your Lips;
it is written that there is a River whose streams refresh the city of God,
and that it sanctifies the dwelling of the Most High;
God is inside the city, she can never fall,
at crack of dawn God helps her;
to the roaring of nations and tottering of Kingdoms,
when He shouts, the world disintegrates ...[15]
Your Holy Spirit is that River
who constantly sanctifies the soul, our inmost self
which belongs to You, my God ...
My ear I open and remain silent for a while,
for the Great King to come with power
and graciously give His divine instructions,
instructions that do not impose disorder in Your Law;
so let the earth rejoice,
let the people of the earth exult
and cry out for joy as the King passes by us
to judge the earth with justice and the nations with His Truth;
acclaim the Rock of our safety,
and let us gather in His Presence with thanksgiving;
I have given you direct access to My Heart to blossom, flower, and to keep giving Me thanksgivings; keep giving Me thanksgivings and I will take them as your sacrifice and they will honour Me ...
know, My beloved one, that to proclaim My Name gives praise and glory to Me; I love you, Vassula; the dead cannot praise Me; they keep silent; the world can never bless My Triune Holiness; it keeps silent; shadows of death loom here and there; I am Present and My Power heals and saves, but, look at the world today, very few responded to grace and have not taken their refuge in Me, Yahweh; very few fear Me, Vassula; death is round the corner but even so, the world does not invoke My Holy Name; this generation refuses to walk with Me;
in the land of the dead I have sent you, where havoc and despair reigns in many hearts; although the noose of the evil one is evident now, still, the world in its apathy continues to hate My precepts; My Law is constantly being broken;
I lie awake throughout the night
to meditate upon all of this
and I cannot see the end of it;
If You were not so close to me, Yahweh,
guarding me, shading me, encircling me,
I would die of sorrow;
I lift my eyes to You with sorrow and sigh,
knowing that my home is in heaven,
yet I am on earth still;
I ask often to myself:
“what am I doing here on this earth
in which I don’t belong, nor to anyone?
I feel that I am lent out... I am lent out ...”
I was by His side when He laid down His rules to me,
after having brought me from the land of oblivion and death,
to assign me into being;
out of the swamp He lifted my soul,
to reveal His Holy Face;
Then, You have sent me in Your Name,
not even thinking twice
that You might be cheapening Your Sceptre and Your Splendour;
You are crowning Your Works with Your bounty,
and abundance flows wherever You pass;
You load us with riches, You refine us like silver;
Christ marches with majesty across this desert,
and He makes the earth rock,
to announce His imminent return;
But the people have not understood;
some say: “Christ is coming in flesh and bone”;
others argue groundlessly,
“God will come and smash the heads of His enemies;”
- but they have not understood the Psalms ...
Like the phantoms of a midnight dream, they wonder;
in the beginning too I had simply failed to understand,
even though I was constantly in Your Presence;
even when You held my right hand to write;
It is written: “The Lord gives His couriers the news ...”
and so He does ...
When God’s Footsteps approach and are heard,
the virtuous rejoice, exulting and singing for joy;
they say: “build a road for the Rider of the Clouds,
rejoice in Christ, exult at His coming!”
At Noah’s time the heavens deluged at Your coming ...
at the coming of God ...
but had not seen You in flesh and bone ...
And now, the earth will be put aflame with Your Son’s return;
at the coming of God ...
Christ will descend from the heights;
Just as thousands of myriads of divine chariots
You, Lord, had left Sinai for Your sanctuary;
David said: “God, You have ascended to the height, and captured prisoners,
You have taken men as tribute,
yes, taken rebels to Your dwelling, Yahweh ...”[16]
but they had not seen You in flesh and bone ...
yet You were there ...
When You approach the virtuous and they rejoice,
they do not see You in flesh and bone ...
but You are there;
When You had set Yourself then at the head of Your people,
and marched across the desert,
You did not come in flesh and bone ...
yet You were there ...
and so it will be when Christ, in our days,
declares that His Return is imminent ...
the heavens and the earth will be set aflame
and He shall turn the hearts of fathers towards their children
and the hearts of children towards their fathers ...
yet, no one will see You in Flesh and Bone ...
Love will return as love ...
for all of us will be in the True God,
Consuming Fire, Triune and Holy ...
you have now given a spiritual testament; this will be the road of My imminent return ... My return will renew you and free many of you from your transgression; when the renewal takes place many will be vested with Myself and all the saints and angels will give thanks for the gift of My Holy Spirit;
what is the Day of the Lord? those who have and are persistently rebelling against Me will taste that Day and all it bears; it will come upon those transgressors as sudden as a thunderbolt, and like a fearful fire they will be turned into human torches; yes, the earth, as you said, will be set aflame and their consciousness will be revealed to them as a revelation; My divine fire will turn the inflexible heart into a lenient heart in My Day; the earth in agony will become fully aware in consciousness and soul, of its failures and its deficiency, its corruptibility, and its lawlessness and not to say the least, the infamous rejection of My Resurrection and My Omnipresence in your daily life;
heaven will open in My Day, and those who rejected Me, proclaiming themselves as gods will be judged severely;
can anyone say that I have not been instructing you all these years? have I not affirmed My might all these years by wonders? have you ever measured the magnificence of My Triune Holiness and the inexpressible grandeur of My Name? have you ever asserted My greatness or proclaimed My fearful splendour and power? I tell you: woe to anyone who finds himself without My Light in My Day ... these I will purge with My Fire;
as for those who kept My precepts and My Law based on love, and who are the salt of the earth, they shall not be tested by fire, since I am their God, and have acknowledged Me as the principal of their life; they have already been tested, and are part of Me now and constantly within My Divine Light in union with the Godhead; and as you said, daughter, at Noah’s time the heavens deluged at My coming; and now the earth will be tested and put aflame by fire;
My Day is imminent, and woe to the corpses on that Day of My Return;[18] alas too for those who centred their lives on material things, when My Day comes; My appearance will be fire; already My Footsteps are heard and My Footprints seen by many; when I reveal Myself to those who did not acknowledge Me, when in these times of grace I presented Myself as Mercy and as a Lamp, I will reveal Myself then as a consuming Fire;
why, did anyone believe I will pass by unnoticed? and do you still believe the Master will pass you by without any retribution? it is, therefore, good to repent daily; and you, who are carrying My seed, sing as you sow, daughter, do not look behind you; as I have instructed you, theology is the contemplation to Me, your God, this is your spiritual foundation; on this foundation then are built different levels; one level contains the Knowledge of God; this Knowledge of God is acquired through Wisdom and not from books; without the Light of the Holy Spirit, God will not be knowledgeable to you but will remain hidden; yes, it is not the fruit of the intellectual mind but a divine infusion, given by grace into the soul who has been transfigured to love; in another level you find poverty of the soul; this soul is the carrier of the Word because in its poverty, the soul possesses Me, and My Kingdom is hers; in the nothingness of such a soul, I solely exist;[19] I solely am her Master and all ...
then, on that same spiritual foundation, there are other levels; there is a level of which a Divine union between the creature and the Creator takes place; captivated by the Godhead’s Perfect and Divine Beauty, the soul voluntarily succumbs into God’s fiery embrace; at this Divine conquest by the Creator, for a conquest and a triumph it is, I invade the soul entirely and with delight I unveil just barely, so as not to frighten her, My Holy Face to her; the soul, upon seeing, even though in a dim light, My Holy Face, she realises, in her awakening that she does not stand far from the confines of the eternal and the beatific vision; bewildered and trembling to have seen My Glory and aware of the luminous light that suddenly surrounds her, she joins voluntarily and intertwines herself with Me, becoming one with Me, her God and Creator ...
in the soul’s total surrender, I who am the Giver of Light, the Giver of Life, the Giver of Love and the Giver of all Gifts, bring her into all these Divine enrichments while I would be addressing her soul in poetry and religion; ah, Vassula, what then will I not do for that soul! Wisdom will be her daily companion, her crown of joy;
it is written: any soul who fears the Lord, this soul “will be received like a virgin bride;”[20] after having abandoned herself, soul and body, to Me, her Creator, and being now part of Me; I then, as a Spouse who delights in his bride, will see to it that she would lack nothing; I will start, in the next level, providing her so impoverished soul, and will at the same time, give her an oath to keep, after having prepared her in a sublime way, and that would be to follow the Spouse unconditionally; accompanying Me wherever I go;
then as a Spouse who loves his bride, I will express My Divine Love by adorning My bride with the most exquisite jewels that cannot be found on earth, but that come from the stores of heaven; I will, in My intimate union, adorn her with Myself invigorating her soul, thus, to a mutual faithfulness and understanding between us; suddenly, the whole world would fade away in front of her eyes; she has found her freedom ... she has found her God ... and in this flight into freedom she will declare:
“the world now is an exile, I am not in it but neither am I near it; my soul, Lover of mankind, is overcome with an incessant longing for Your rulings; now, Beloved of my soul, I am ready and my heart is set to follow You unconditionally;”
and I will respond: “walk with Me, and I will school you in My rules of righteousness; I will be your Educator and no one else; I will whisper in your ear the history of all invisible things and inaccessible yet becoming visible and accessible through the Divine teachings of your Master; the Word of Life will be offered to you, freely ...”
after having been schooled with righteousness I shall lift your soul to the next level; the level in which before your birth you were called, this one in which the Holy Spirit elevates you with His grace to be part of My Salvific Plan, and makes out of you an apostle; I will show you at that level the way I had taken for My Passion; since you would be serving Me, you would serve Me with passion; I would send you to patrol the world and proclaim the Truth; I would ask you to christianise this dechristianised generation and destroy the tower of Babel, bringing all the apostates in there who were worshipping Baal to repent; all of this you will do with My Cross in one hand and the rosary in the other ...
and you, daughter, as you are carrying My seed, keep seeding vigorously; do I not know all that you say? let Me confide you this: like torrents of water My Tears swell in My Eyes to see you struggling among dried up and scattered bones; as any father who would see this image of gloom of his offspring and would suffer, I too, as a Father to you, suffer; this image afflicts Me when I watch the child I have raised up in My Kingly Courts to be plagued[21] by the dead in the valley of death; your heritage is in the land of the living, but I have created you and instructed you with holy Wisdom to teach mankind all over again My acts of power and the majestic glory of My Sovereignty! to remind them that I act only out of Love and Mercy; in that matter any scourge falling on this generation is no more than the reproofs of Mercy;
Lord, it is written that You have only to Will and Your power is there ...
it is also written that after sin I will grant repentance; I have, in My great benevolence, placed the salutary remedy of repentance into a renewed heart that will show Me great fervour and truthfulness while repenting; indeed, everyone finds the treasure of intimacy with Me as soon as this humble act is done; in the treasure of intimacy they discover My friendship; the greater the repentant is sincere, the greater My friendship; each word uttered in truthfulness draws My friendship closer, for My friendship ensues in proportion to his repentance;
it is written: “when I uttered my cry to Him and high praise was on my tongue, had I been guilty in my heart, the Lord would never have heard me; but God not only heard me, He listened to my prayer ...”[22]
everybody who desires salvation will feel the need to repent and I will listen to his repentance; the wage paid by sin is death; sin is similar to a poison inside you and the longer it remains inside you, the sicker you become, drawing you closer to death; the more you do not purge it out of your system all the more you risk to die; you may be freed and healed from the poison of sin if you humble yourself and realise that the only remedy to purge your sins is through repentance;
tell Me: who of you would risk his life had he discovered he had swallowed poison and remained inert and done nothing about it? to be cured of this deadly potion you will have to lower your head and admit you are a sinner, offering Me your repentance, then all the bitterness of the poison will be purged out including the serpent itself which you had been nurturing inside your entrails all through your life,[23] and being set free, I will replace those evils by My sweetness ... yes, once those evils out, you will recover, and once recovered you will not be an alien to My Law; willingly you will turn your back to the world because in front of you, you will see My Glory and My Splendour; the sight of My radiant Presence will be shining within and without you;
it is written: “you were dead, through the crimes and the sins in which you used to live when you were following the way of this world, obeying the ruler who governs the air,[24] the spirit who is at work in the rebellious ...”[25] but now after your repentance and through grace shown to you I brought you to life in Me ...
I will reveal then in My smiles, the path of life to you; you will not be walking on hot coals anymore but on sapphires; the inexpressible and inaccessible God you once thought, will give you unbounded joy in your heart while expressing His Joy to you: “once you were like a field that grew nothing but brambles and thistles, practically uninhabited and cursed; but now, with Me, you will be like a field of My choice, watered by the springs of the Holy Spirit and you will give the crops that are acceptable to Me;”[26]
as I have said before, to acknowledge Me is the perfect virtue; today the world has no place for Me and My place is occupied by dross; rebels and sinners are roaming everywhere, and their deeds and words affront My Triune Holiness; in their insolence they believe that My place should be occupied partly by a sort of self-realisation and partly by an eagerness to perform only evil, refusing in their insolence to acknowledge My glorious Presence; instead, the world walks on its own and glorifies itself, praising and honouring its achievements, playing God ... they believe they know everything but in reality they know nothing; so long as they do not know Me from the good things that are all around them and so long as they have not discovered Me, they will remain inert like corpses ...
people in your days are in search of false gods,[27] following all sorts of paganistic systems,[28] to obtain knowledge and power they think; then the world is ever so charmed by the beauty of crystals, the beauty of leaves, elements that they place above My Omnipotence, since they ask from these healing powers, instead of the gracious and healing power of My Holy Spirit; if they are impressed by their shape[29] let them deduce from these how much mightier is He that has formed the crystals, the leaves and the like, the Author of them all!
even if these[30] are in reality in search of My Presence, and in their eagerness have fallen prey to the Deceiver and led astray, even so, they are not without any sin, and are guilty of their inadequacy; if they are able to investigate the energies, its contents, the world and the cosmos, how have they been so slow to find the Author and Master of them all?
but Satan is deceiving the world once more with the same lie he deceived Eve ... that they too can be God[31] and are self-sufficient and do not need Me ...
(Then the Father turned to me and said:)
I will renew your mouth, Vassula, to put into record all My sayings and recount all My marvels; realise how I, Yahweh, have leaned down all the way from above to clothe you and everyone else who turned an ear to Me as well, with majesty and splendour; I wished to revive the faith of this generation, curing your so deplorable state, with tenderness and compassion;
let your hands be renewed as well to bless in My Name, let your right hand that I blessed be the organ of My House, the musical instrument through which many would hear the sound of My Words; play music to My Name and sing for joy in the shadow of My wings;
ah, Vassula, then let your ears be renewed to hear Wisdom uttering her proverbs, sanctifying you as you listen, uttering discernment and knowledge of the Triune God; citadel of Mine, dearest of My Heart, remain loyal to Me and My grace will continue to be upon you; remember your origin ...
the brilliance of My Majesty is upon you; courage! do not be afraid;
(This message ended only on August 7, 2002.)
August 7, 2002
I have exiled you not only from the land of Egypt where you first saw the light, but from the entire earth; I have exiled you so that you have roots only in Me; I have been teaching you in My Heavenly Courts with Holy Wisdom and not like those who buttress their teaching by quotation from the Scriptures and Tradition, babbling My divine Words with their lips only ...
I have been, in an ineffable way, revealing to you My fathomless Mercy and My exuberant Love that are neglected to be taught and expressed in My assemblies as I wish; for the sake of My Holy Name I withheld My Hand from falling upon this evil generation; for the sake of My honour I keep curbing My anger ...
ah Vassula! I have been pouring out like never before in history the power of My Holy Spirit; I set knowledge before you in such a way to reach even the uninstructed; Mercy and wrath alike belong to the Lord it is written and according to My judgment I allow free play to My Mercy;
My Holy Spirit repetitively uttered sayings to all of you sweeter than honey even than honey that drips from the comb; I have been perfuming all the cosmos anointing all My creation; I have been allowing everyone who wished to know Me, approach Me and inhale from My Mouth the graces they need to keep their soul tranquil and their heart grafted on Me and My Law ...
who could give any soul such tranquillity and freedom, other than My Holy Spirit? who could lift your soul in the Divine other than My benevolence and the ineffable condescension of My Love?
I have been teaching you all and reminding you what I have always said: that I am not only Sovereign Master of your soul, but your Friend as well, giving you access in My Courts to walk in and out, expressing yourself and giving Me your opinion, even to be ruling with Me; by grace I have lifted you to be a child by grace as the Word is Son by nature ...
can you, who are reading Me, say “I have learned how to possess God, He who fathered me and made Himself known to me without ever losing His transcendence? He who encompasses all beings filling all things with His Luminous Light without being contained by their limits, possesses me as well and has ordered all things within me to be according to His Divine Will?” everything, yes, everything that comes from Me, revolves around Divine Love;
as I said before, one has to receive an inestimable grace to pronounce these words; if you are unable to pronounce these words put behind you everything and come to Me now and repent! then allow the Holy Spirit to descend on you and invade you with His Light turning your soul into a Cathedral ...
oh then, how He will, with delight, provide you! He will found in you the Foundation I had been teaching you about: the true theology, that is the contemplation to Me your God; enraptured thus in this contemplation your soul will soar in the heights contemplating Me your God in depth; My Reign then begins in you; then, step by step, the Holy Spirit while blowing on you His Breath of transfiguration revealing to your spirit Divine realities through Wisdom Herself; He will be revealing to you all that your philosophers and sages till this day call foolish and nonsense; you will understand and perceive with the Light of the Holy Spirit the sublimity of My Love, the Divine enrichments I can provide your soul with and all that you can benefit from them; I will be sanctifying you while We will be dwelling in you and you in Us; as Scriptures say: “make your home in Me, as I make Mine in you;” you will become part of the True Vine;[33]
yes! I will be granting you the grace of Myself within your soul; enamoured, I, your God, am of you; enamoured to the point that, in spite of your weaknesses I can dwell well within you; the more you will be contemplating My Triune Holiness, the more you would be understanding Me; the more you would be knowing Me and all the more I would be reflecting My Image in you;
then, from Heaven, from My Angels and Princes of the highest ranks a loud, melodious voice will be heard; together in one voice they will hymn to the Hymn,[34] praises: “God’s mystery is being revealed once more, revealing His Imperishable Light thrice Holy, imprinting His Image on the well-beloved soul He has chosen, to grant the grace of Himself; oh what benefits lie ahead for this soul! praise and glory for our Lord and God!”
Amen ...
See what God is offering us?
Listen then to His Instructions
and do not ignore them ...
the poorest will exult in My sayings, and the lowly will be lifted; your salvation lies in conversion and tranquillity; come back to Me; I am only waiting to be gracious to you ...
(Later on Jesus speaks:)
Vassula, Scriptures say: “peacemakers, when they work for peace, sow the seeds which will bear fruit in holiness;”[35]
I have been teaching you with authority and majesty so as to raise you to be able to express My Words as I wish, My Words bring peace and love and hope in one’s heart; I bring to reconciliation through repentance;
anyone who wreaks havoc in anyone’s heart does not come from Me; by this I mean that anyone who declares they have prophecies that prophesy plague and disasters only, these do not come from Me; but anyone who prophesies My warnings, peace and repentance and his word comes true are to be recognised as one truly sent by Me; yes, indeed, anyone who prophesies encouragement, consolation and improves the community, know that he is truly sent by Me;
I have been warning you not to take anyone by merely his words or believe just anyone who claims he has words coming from Me, even if he performs miracles and prodigies, such as raising one from the dead; but turn an ear to those who do not elicit discussions that contradict the mysteries of faith, for the grace of the Holy Spirit given to My chosen ones will overwhelm with joy those who will listen to them; their words will lift their soul, bringing them close to My angels and saints; their words which are in reality My Words, will turn you into Cathedrals; My Words not only have authority and power but they burn putting aflame your soul and enlightening your spirit at the same time;
above all, the divine realities revealed to you through My chosen souls, will be expressed on the basis of Scriptures and Tradition and nothing else; how will you know I am speaking? you will know by the sound Knowledge you obtain; and you, who were completely dead and lying putrefying in the valley of death, in your awakening you will realise who lifted you by grace; the world you are living in now, My child, is evil, to say the least, increasing by the day in sin, so am I not to be concerned?
when in your days I am speaking and the shepherds are not listening and do not believe I am intervening, they are as Scriptures say: “our watchmen are blind, they notice nothing ... they all go their own way, each after his own interest ...” My Church will always increase through the Holy Spirit and will never decrease; She will always be renewed despite of all the venomous arrows that will be aimed on Her; those same venomous arrows are also used to aim on those I am sending you;
the whole world is decaying in its evil and its apostasy, transgressing not only My Law but all that is Holy; why then is anyone surprised when the grace of the Holy Spirit increases? alas! what condemnation will be given to those whose evil hearts harassed My chosen souls! they will not inherit My Kingdom unless I hear from their lips a word of repentance ...
Vassula, together with Me you will work in silence[36] to enlighten dark valleys; everything that the Holy Spirit will give you to write will be for this and other generations’ instruction and whosoever opposes you in the mission I have given you, will be opposing the work of My Spirit; announce everything I say that leads everyone who hears My Word into a new being, and do not pay attention[37] to those who say: “if you are sent by God and if those words you say come from God, prove your humility by hiding yourself and all those sayings; stop parading yourself and the sayings around the world;”
to these people answer the following: “I am not going to be like the wicked servant who hid his talent and then was condemned for having done nothing; on the contrary, I will multiply my talent and give glory to the One who entrusted it to me; I will pass on, not only to this generation this prodigious wonder,[38] but the angels will carry the words of God and will continue spreading them like a rain of seeds thrown from above to all future generations, to renew God’s creation and embellish the Church; to sweeten the mouths of His children and open their mouths to praise Him; to open their eyes and enable them to examine their hearts; I am sealed by our Lord’s Divine Name all over me and I do not fear; I am His loud book declaring the same Truths our Lord has passed on to us; so, nothing is new, I have nothing new that is of my own, brothers, but all that is said to me comes from Divine Knowledge and from the Mouth of the Triune God;” this is what you are to tell them in My Name;
contemplate Me in depth, My beloved, and rest on My Heart ...
September 8, 2002
write: Scriptures say:
“if a man nurses anger against another,
can he then demand compassion from the Lord?
Showing no pity for a man like himself,
can he then plead for his own sins?”[39]
remember My Law of Love and remain devout to It; put behind you all rancour and violent thoughts and turn to Me ... Vassula, so many in this generation are in this sin; the sin of anger and rancour; slaves to your passions and champions when it comes to do evil ...[40]
no one is righteous, yet, I, Jesus Christ, revealed My kindness and My exuberant Love to mankind and I was not concerned nor searched for any goodness or righteousness you might have done yourselves; My compassion on you was so great that it compelled My Mercy to be gracious to you to save you, by means of the cleansing water of rebirth and by renewing you with the Holy Spirit;
I have set a treasure[41] in front of you, generation, but your soul keeps failing to see it; you keep passing by it most of the time, seeing nothing; and ah, how many times have I not stretched out My Hand to you to take you to Me and discover Me; am I concealing My treasure from you? I am the Treasure itself; has no one ever told you that I am your Heavenly Bridegroom? I am the effulgent cleansing waters of the Life-giving spring whose waters purify, renew and breathe in you Life;
I am the Resurrection; so do not waver any longer but open your eyes and run towards Me; cease being out-distant; has anybody taught you that the supreme act of love is the acceptance of My Cross? My Cross, which is your redemptive Instrument, is in other words the Tree that gives life; through your redemptive Instrument your feet cross from the valley of death into the Beatific Vision;
I am the Resurrection and through Me I have made you all to be sons and daughters of the resurrection; if you remain in sin, and unforgiving to your neighbour, inflexible in your heart filled with rancour, the Godhead will be denied to your eyes; the all-Holy Spirit will not show Himself to you if in debt to sin, for you would have been rejecting consciously the act of compunction, an act of love ...
if you remain in this sin it is the same as though you tell Me: “Master, I prefer to remain in my tomb; I chose to remain dead and live among the dead;” your flesh is already putrefying, you are decaying, and you still refuse Life? to deny your sin is similar as to deny Life; come instead by My side and by the side of the saints and of those on earth who are nearing perfection, who are serene while in their contemplation to Me, whom I saturate in ineffable riches and celestial mysteries;
Holy Consubstantial Trinity,
the transgression and the rejection of God in our days
have destroyed part of the Church of Christ;
how can the Body of Christ be recognisable in us,
in our so poor state?
Like inanimate matter we are dispersed Lord,
torn asunder by our ego and by a spirit of pride;
where is in us the distinctive sign of faith
which is love?
Tendencies of opposition are always there,
even rancours of the past are still well alive,[42]
an unforgiving spirit abides in many;
ah, all-blessed act of forgiveness, act of charity, blessed are those who have welcomed you! you will not be tainted anymore but will receive the Kiss on your forehead from your Redeemer; blessed is he who renounces his sin, he will see Me, the Treasure, and will enter in the path of holiness; blessed is he who eagerly and passionately embraces My Cross, he will enter into the Beatific vision, and his soul will know ineffable joys!
today, generation, I am overwhelming you with prodigies and with the sound of My Voice; to pull you out of your debt and out of the mire of sin I have chanted to you the song of Heaven;[43] I have shown to you the secrets of the Nuptial Chamber of My Heart, to exempt you from all evil I am continually in your presence; and if your eyes do not see your Bridegroom, it is because they are sealed with crusts of sin ...
as I have said to you, put behind you all your violent thoughts and do not give Satan a foothold clinging to your grudge against anyone, for the Father in Heaven will deal with you severely; do not be like the wicked servant[44] who pitilessly threw his fellow servant in prison for the debt he owed him;
do not remain lifeless, but think of My indescribable Mercy I have upon you, generation; so put into practice all that I have said and receive the Holy Spirit of Grace;
be one;
September 13, 2002
To know God and understand Him only on the basis of Scriptures is not enough; one has to penetrate into God to be able to understand and know God. This is what we call “to taste God.”
yes, I have to take form in your inmost heart as much as you have to transform in My depths;
child, I am Yahweh, and I delight to visit you in your poverty; We have given you freedom extirpating you from the valley of darkness to live in Our brilliant Light;
now realise you are at the service of your King; do you realise that I have vested you with My glory, saturated you with My radiance, so that you have free access in My Imperial Courts? be confident when you converse with Me and happily accept My favour!
blessed are those who have a heart of a child and do not doubt in any of these Messages that come from Wisdom, nor will ever have; these have opened to grace and obtained My Light within them; the One who reveals Himself to mankind in such an ineffable manner is none less than your Creator who through His Words has brought many back to a true life with Me;
I am the One who exhorted you to lift your eyes to heaven and sin no more; I have been repeatedly giving you a full knowledge of Myself so that in knowing Me you inherit as well My Kingdom; I have never spoken harshly to you but I have treated you leniently, a lenity not of this world; My Words are consonant with the teachings of the Holy Scriptures;
blessed are those who accepted this reality without testing Me and have not treated My envoy recklessly, they will have a prophet’s reward; you have surely heard before that My envoys speak in My Name and those who do not believe them, treating them as impostors, or even accuse their mission, sin against Me who speaks through them;
as I have emphasised before, I have said nothing that contradicts the Holy Scriptures, but all My Words I uttered are consonant to what I have given you already, yet it seems that many have not penetrated fully in the knowledge of My Word;[45] had they, they would have recognised My Odes of today; they would have seen My Image in My Odes that do not differ from My Word that has been given to you; indeed no one can penetrate and understand this mystery, the mystery of your God speaking, and well-alive and among you in your days, on having only read the Holy Scriptures; to penetrate in the depths of My Word you need more than that;
spiritual knowledge is obtained by the Holy Spirit who enlightens Scriptures to you; have you heard of anybody reading at night when the lights are turned off? only when the lights are turned on will he be able to see the words and read; without light you will see nothing, without the Holy Spirit who transcends thought, and who is far beyond all the constellations of light put together, the utterances and the expressions of Wisdom in My Word will remain hidden from you; the Holy Spirit alone gives the necessary light in your mind to understand the heavenly utterances; otherwise My Words will remain sealed and closed; this is the reason why so many do not recognise Me in this Ode of Love;
Scriptures, as I have said, reflect My Divine Image, and if today you do not see Me in My Odes to you, given to you by loving Mercy, it is because you have not yet experienced My tenderness, nor have you ever savoured My sweetness; your so-called knowledge prevents you from seeing Me; blessed is he who opened his heart to Me, accepting Me in simplicity of heart, he will not see My Odes as mere words, but as power and as the Holy Spirit and as utter conviction; and I would add, that My Odes chanted to you are a living power among you who believe them;
I desire from all of you, creation, to see Me, this is why I unceasingly reveal My Love to you since the first day you came into being; will I one day hear from you: “praised be God, for showing His boundless Mercy to us and for allowing us to taste His Goodness; without Him revealing to us His Holy Face in our hearts, we would have been one of those who believe they can discover you through secular wisdom and their studies alone; Your treasure, Lord, is hidden from the scholars with their erudite learnings, and who claim knowledge of Your mysteries and of spiritual matters, when in reality they do not know You;”
I have been teaching you to hold your thoughts on heavenly things only to prosper, showing you your new self; I have, with delight, been preaching to the whole world without differentiating anyone; My intention as a Father, is to embellish My creation and renew it, turning your lives into an unceasing prayer; why then all this clamour around My Name? why do you allow yourselves to lose your serenity and be dictated by the world? your divine reality should be the Triune God and your life should revolve around heavenly inspirations and well hidden within My Son, Jesus Christ;
can anyone by himself discover My fathomless Treasures? unless he is given an inner light of understanding he shall remain in darkness; I repeat: blessed are those who believe in My Merciful Call, they shall gain My friendship and My intimacy;
who is the Source of Christian knowledge, the Source of prophecy? it is the Holy Spirit who teaches and uses all means to transfigure and renew My creation; and those who have fallen asleep and deny prophecy in your time, ask them if they have understood Scriptures and their sayings;
I have anointed prophets to declare My Words till the end of Time; I endowed them with the spirit of Elijah; but then have you not read that “prophets will succeed him?”[46]
anyone who has opened his heart to Me, voluntarily allowing Me to invade him, has harvested the crop of life; Scriptures then become for him an unsealed and divine Ode, a living Word, a vision of God, a divine garment for your soul; his illumination thus from My Presence within him, establishes My Kingdom in his heart; any mystery that seemed concealed, will be revealed and the Scriptures will become as a loud and audible canticle to your ears; it is I, your Bridegroom,[47] stepping out from His Imperial Courts to turn your hearts towards Me for My own loving purpose;
be aware that your generation is constantly offending Me and is instructed by the evil one to obey everything that contradicts My Law of Love but coming from the Divine Truth; this so evil generation winnows in every wind and walks along every byway set by Satan; now, My Son and I have been giving ample opportunities for you all to return to Us through repentance, for We are compassionate and merciful, but, ah ... so many of you have been misled by your own presumption ...
it is written:[48] “a stubborn heart will come to a bad end at last, and whoever loves danger will perish in it;” the world today offers you much destruction, so it is better for you to lean on Me who am your Shield and say: “let us fall into the Hands of the Lord, not into the hands of men; for as His Majesty is, so too is His Mercy;”[49]
ah, evil inclination, despite all these Odes and warnings, the people of the earth do not repent, nor do they give up their sins, very few follow My Law of Love and do what pleases Me; I am ceaselessly stooping from My Celestial Courts to you, generation, to pull you out of your mire; I have been sending you My envoys perfumed with blended incense and prepared by angels to carry on their wings My divine Odes; those who tasted My Words took the right course; how splendid they were after tasting My Words that were as sweet as honey to their mouths!
I have prepared and paraded all through these years a prodigious banquet of spiritual food; religion and virtue was My Theme of Love to you; in the cause of Truth I have lifted you up, generation, with My Sceptre; has your heart ever been stirred at all? sweet is the melody of this noble Ode, but have you not heard it? have you not heard Me addressing you individually My Love Theme with oil of gladness? have you not understood how I was anointing you all these years? pause a while and give it a thought and understand that I am God in Majesty and Splendour;
woe to the listless heart that has no faith, for such will have no protection in My Day; and woe to you who have lost the will to endure in virtue and righteousness, what will you do at the Lord’s visitation? what will you have to say in the Lord’s Day? will you be able to endure the ordeal of Fire?
you are chained now in body and soul to this world; Satan in his fury does not release you but holds you prisoner in his dungeons to deprive you, you who have fallen, from grace to repent; shrouded by his veil you became his toy; your repentance will break your chains and will thrust away hordes of evil spirits who nest in you, while some loom over your so pitiable soul;
in your misery you lack the will and the strength to overcome your enemy and throw off the shackles of flesh that bond you to this world; today, in these times of Mercy, I offer you grace as a gift and as a rewarding path leading to Me;
- I offer you to carry you on My shoulders during your convalescence;
- I offer you peace and rest, for you will not labour nor weary with Me;
- I offer you My Angels who will dress your wounds with ineffable tenderness, wounds inflicted on your soul from the passions of this world; They will assist you in your rehabilitation, bringing you back to life, regenerating your disabled soul in a new life in Me;
- I offer you a place in My Heart, where you will blossom with an abyss of learnings from Wisdom; I will lavish you with inestimable gifts as a bridegroom who lavishes his bride who captured his heart; and I will express My Love to you, My bride, while folding you in My Arms, singing to you the Odes of My creation and of how you came to be; I will unfold to you the mysteries before earth came into being, before nature came to birth, and while courting your soul, you will declare to Wisdom, “my Sister!” yes, I will free you like a bird from the snare, break you free like a gazelle from a trap, were you willing to turn to Me acknowledging Me in your repentance;
- I offer you ballads by Me and the secluded grace of being in My Presence, just you and Me;
- I offer your soul to be ever at play with Me, and I, as a Father who watches with delight his son’s development and his growth, I will watch, like an eagle, over My Kingdom being formed in you;
- I offer you what you call inaccessible and unattainable, and that I alone can offer, something that is suspended far and beyond human reach, a path not trodden by the proud of heart, a path where no philosopher ever walked; no gold, no crystal can ever match what I offer in value; it cannot be bought either with any amount of solid gold, not paid for with any weight of silver, nor be priced by the standard of the purest gold, or of precious onyx or sapphire, for Holy Wisdom cannot be assessed, I alone possess Her and offer Her to anyone I wish;
unseen by the eye of mankind, yet glorious in Her brilliancy, I will offer Holy Wisdom to you were you to cower before sin and flee from evil, repenting and reflecting on what was false; and if you will ask: “tell me, Father, tell me, where does Holy Wisdom come from? where is understanding to be found since it is outside the knowledge of every living thing, hidden from all creation?” I will answer you My child: “Wisdom? it is fear of the Lord; understanding? - avoidance of evil;” to all people I offer Wisdom, they make an end of darkness since Wisdom delights to bring to daylight secrets that were hidden while they would be contemplating the invisible beauties that are now visible in the glorious Light of Wisdom;
find, therefore, joy in Me, for My principles are noble and pure, and I govern with meekness and tenderness; with grace I enfold those who repent; I repugn all malice and corruption, but My Spirit frees all who admit their sin bringing the malicious evil spirits to an end;
I am not an earthly ruler, I am a Ruler of Justice, with noble decrees and virtuous rules loaded with splendour and majesty, yet gentle and humble of Heart; to rejoice your heart and gladden it I offer to restore your sight so that you satisfy your eyes and see Me, your God, while in awe you would be crying out to Me; “praised be the Triune God, thrice Holy! glory to the One who has lifted my soul doing great things for me! Holy is His Name; I praise My God who has restored my reckless soul to favour, allowing my eyes to see Your Face; and like Job, I will say in song: ‘I sinned and had left the path of right, but God has not punished me as my sin deserved; He has spared my soul from going down into the pit, and is allowing my life to continue in the Light;’ see brothers? see? all this, God is doing through the ages for mankind, rescuing souls from the pit, and letting the Light of life shine bright on us;”
I will grant you the sight of your God who speaks to you today; a vision you will never forget; seized by remorse[50] in this delightful contemplation your spirit on fire will cry out to Me:
“You know, my Lord, inwardly I am shattered now, but at the same time, Lord, I am on fire; I looked at You and I am ablaze with divine Love that consumes me little by little; Resplendent Sun, You drew me, the ugly sinner, near You without thinking twice that I might be cheapening Your Sceptre; You allowed my sinful eyes to contemplate Your Majesty, Your Beauty, which surpasses the fairest of Your Angels, and upon seeing this Wonder, You wounded me beyond words; unable to satisfy My thirst, I weep, and my dilemma makes me wretched; Your glorious Presence affected me to yearn even more to learn how to love you and be intertwined for ever with You; my pain has augmented and I beg Your Angels to relieve me, but on second thoughts let Them not, let this fire keep wounding me, let my thirst for You, O Lover of mankind enkindle my whole being, let Your divine visitation increase my thirst for You to desire You even more;
“Your Sovereignty has no equal, none! You looked at me and our eyes met; Your Eyes brighter than two gems magnetised mine; from Your Eyes then, two rays of light appeared and brightened my soul illuminating it as though a thousand constellations were hurled into me, and every darkness or gloomy shadow in my soul faded away; confused for having suddenly received the Light of Your Grace, Your glory was unbearable in front of flesh and blood; You winked then at me, and I swooned; it was as though the floor under my feet swayed; the expressions of Your Love for me are driving me faint in my heart, for they are, my Lord, too overwhelming to my poor soul to bear; can anyone measure the magnificence of Your Greatness and Your inexpressible grandeur? who has seen Yahweh and has not swooned with passion? I remain powerless in front of such ecstatic Beauty ...”
tell Me then, creature, in whom I love and delight, what is it like to discover Me within you? what is it like to fall in the Hands of the Almighty God? what is it like? tell Me, beloved one of My Heart, what is it like to hear your Creator sing to you and for you alone, Odes and Ballads while in your contemplation to Me? what is it like to know that He who chants to you and who lives in an inaccessible Light holding everything in His Hand, is contained in your heart, and yet without being contained? what is it like to be washed in My lustral waters, plunging you in Me?
be of good cheer, then, and live a pious life; My splendour has no equal, to converse with Me will leave on you unforgettable memories; to contemplate Me satisfies your thirst but never quenches it, rather it augments it; it is only in the Beatific Vision that your soul can be quenched and satisfied in the fullness of My Presence; without My Merciful assistance, creature, your soul would have withered before even being born; without My help your life would be a desolation, motionless, totally disconnected from Me, the Godhead! ah, if your soul only knew in what dangers it is crossing daily!
open your faculties, Vassula, and absorb Me;[52]
O Blessed Lord,
You are the One who ceaselessly dazzles my soul,
flowing in me like a fluorescent River
You brighten my soul,
placing in my heart the Light in which I live;
I am still dumbfounded on Your choice
and that You joined Yourself in my soul,
that You joined Your Spirit in the centre of my heart;
You have enlivened the Scriptures to me
and Your utterances in them
became audible in my ears
and understandable in my heart and mind;
utterances of Divine Life;
You have brought to reality the unreachable realities:
the Kingdom of Heaven ...
You made tangible Your Word
realising that truly the Triune God is but one God alone;
and that all Three are one Substance, one Power and one Knowledge ...
You have unveiled the hidden plans,
hidden in the abyss of Your Love
instructing us that our bodies too can be resplendent
like Your Divine Light;
consubstantial with Your Son;
You have been putting my soul
in full awareness of Your Presence,
and ever since,
Your Friendship wounded my heart inwardly,
Your gaze on me shattered me;
Sensation and Reason, what do I need you for?
Your Fire, God, has consumed me,
reducing my ego into ashes;
I am transitory, surrounded by transitory things,
but You break the laws of nature
and new miracles appear daily through Your Hand;
and whosoever approaches You,
You put alight, becoming flame,
but with a promise:
that he will not turn into ashes ...
Blessed is he who could grasp You
and embrace You,
virtue and divine Love will be his daily bread;
O Good and Loving Father,
who invites each one of us
to abide inseparably with the Holy Trinity
and be gods by participation,
making it feasible for us to reach
the Divine stature of Your Son, Jesus Christ;
Liturgy of my soul, Cathedral of my heart,
Perfumed Incense of the Universe,
Pitiless Archer, Divine Ode,
Abyss of transcendent Love,
Lustrous Crown, Spiritual Scent of our soul,
Light Thrice Holy,
I am not anymore capable of uttering any intelligible word
... or praise ...
ah, Vassula, I mean to sing to you all the days of your life; discover Me within you; discover My Kingdom in the centre of your heart; discover My Grandeur within you; so tell Me, tell Me, what is the great miracle of your epoch? tell Me! tell Me!
the great Miracle of our days
is that You have descended from Heaven,
manifesting this way or that way to sinners;
the great Miracle,
is that the Holy One who transcends understanding and reasoning,
is visiting us and is speaking to us;
He is among us and with us;
He speaks in different ways;
He heals the sick; He raises the dead;
He overwhelms us by His Instructions;
He visits the poor; He frees the prisoners,
and He consoles the broken hearts;
this is the great Miracle of our times ...
you have said well;
O Judgement Day! when My Son will shine above in the sky!
blessed is he who believes in My Word and that this Day is not a mere symbolic utterance for his ears! blessed is he who does not inveigh what comes from the Spirit and ridicules it; when My Spirit declares ‘Fire’ that is soon to come upon sinners;
how many more wonders do I have to do to satisfy you and hear from you: “I am sorry for having sinned;” let Me hear these words:
“my soul thirsts for God
but my tongue led me to sin;
but now my heart has been put alight
and is smouldering within me
since You visited me;
“You who are of all men and angels
the most handsome, perfection of beauty
and astounding in grace,
robed in colourless sapphires,
let Your flames sanctify all who approach You;
clean my guilt and let Your Holy Face shine on me;
purify me from sin and open my ear
to hear and understand Your Odes sung to us;
amen;”
for this, I shall reply: “I shall never fail you, My child; come to Me and rest in Me; have you not understood that I am Fire? a Fire putting aflame everything I seize? anyone whom I seize, totters in flames of divine Love;
“have I not declared in the Scriptures, My Fire? have I not declared it several times in this Ode?[53] although your spirit in its sinfulness will shrivel with fear and with unbearable pain when recognising Me, at the same time I will be exuding My Fragrance and your soul, in My Presence, although terrified upon seeing itself naked and in decay from sin and transgression, from not following My Law of Love, will delight that I, her Creator and her God, is visiting her;
“when this day comes upon you, the day I call the Day of the Lord, the scales covering your eyes will fall off and you will look at your real self; My Fire will reduce you to nothing in your dismay; but, do not gasp with fear, be of good cheer, for how else would you see yourself by My side? any remaining evil tendencies will be rendered inactive; this purification is to turn your soul not to venture here and there aimlessly, but to Me who am your sole divine Bridegroom;”
I do not think that many of you have understood what the Day of the Lord means; when the voice of the bird is silenced and song notes are still, know that I will call in this silence all your hidden deeds, good or bad, to judgement; the Day of the Lord can be compared to a mini tribunal; a Purification by My Fire that will lead your soul into My Glory and into a perfect union with Me;
when a soul is horribly defiled by sin, repugnant to Me and to My Angels, Saints and holy ones, My visit will put her[54] into agonising pains and she will not escape My Day; how else am I to render your soul incorruptible and free from sin? how else am I to bring those souls to repentance? only when I strip them naked with My Fire and they see themselves in what state they are in, only then will they realise how they were the possession of Satan;
in those whom My Divine Fire will be blazing, purifying them, by this immaterial Fire, I will consume them, awakening them and making them finally aware of how they are being transformed; transformed with pain but with joy as well, by the Love of My transforming Fire;
anyone who in body and soul already possesses Me and I possess him, the Day of the Lord shall not come upon him nor will he experience it; why? because the Holy Spirit already had made His passage felt in them; they have had the Day of the Lord come upon them; you can call that Day as well, the Day of My Visitation; after that Day, repentance and obedience to My Law of Love will be the theme of those I will regenerate by My Fire; I will soften the souls that are like rock now and warm the hearts that are like ice, and at once My Presence will be felt in their resurrection;[55]
September 30, 2002
My Lord, my God,
how wonderful it is to journey by Your side
while sowing Your celestial seeds in the wind!
In contrast to the darkness surrounding me,
You are a Pillar of blazing Fire, a Ray of Light;
Your Holy Face, Christ,
is like a Lustrous Diamond
and when You face me,
Your radiance enlightens my soul,
in order not to succumb in the dark;
Brighter than a thousand suns put together,
You stand now in radiance before my wretched soul;
ah, if mankind only knew what it is like to be present
in front of such indescribable beauty?
You, my Mighty God, Imperishable Light,
Your Presence is given freely to the world,
but how is it they cannot recognise You, or even see You?
My Gracious Lord,
fairer than all the Angelic forces put together,
transcending all understanding and reasoning;
Your boundless Mercy and Your incomprehensible Abundance
and Your Generosity leaves me in awe ...
Your attractiveness magnetises my soul,
paralyses it and induces it into unbearable sadness,
Your attractiveness wounds me...
On numerous occasions I tried to grasp You,
but futile were my attempts;
it was like trying to grasp fire;
my fingers went through You ...
As an untarnished mirror,
reflecting the Eternal Light,
Your magnificence is magnified in all Your creation ...
and yet, how is it Your creation does not see this bright Light?
Although my attempts to grasp You,
even the fringe of Your robe, were futile,
in Your Compassion, and to encourage me not to leave the chase
but to continue my attempts to grasp You,
You have covered my path with sapphires;
to reassure me of my attempts,
You signed with Your Finger Your Name all over me with oil;
Column of Incense fragrance,
perfuming the world as You pass by,
how have I been deemed worthy of such grace
to acquire Wisdom as a teacher?
When from my unworthy heart
I uttered my cry to You,
out from the heights
Your Sovereignty stooped over me, revealing Yourself,
while from Your Lips, Your Divine Name was given to me;
anointing my soul with Holy Oil;
Unction of my soul,
in Your exuberant Love, in Your Divine Folly,
You have adorned my soul in stately clothes,
clothing my nakedness with Your Divine Signature,
making me Yours for ever and ever!
O Saviour, arduous in Your Love for mankind,
moisten my lips now with grace
to address You always with honour and praise ...
ah, beloved one! I have called you to aspire for Me alone; I have called you to be infatuated with Me, as much as you infatuate Me; I have wounded your soul by My beauty to call you into a life in Me; My Presence that startles you to this day and that reduced your soul into nothing but a mere reflection of My Light, enlivens you; My exuberant Love I have for you, inebriated your soul to thirst for Me; I have liberated you to attain dispassion of body and soul; you can attain impassibility only through Me; in this impassibility I can plant within you My celestial seeds;
see? see how I have made you a witness to the people to summon all the nations in order that those who are unaware of My Presence will rush to Me and glorify Me? I had said that I will make My Words a fire in your mouth to attract those who never knew Me to serve Me with dispassion and to love My Name; have I not said that I will repair My broken altars?
in My own household, that is now scattered, I will advance in there; I will separate the haughty and proud hearts from the pure of heart; just like one separates goats from sheep; you have been told to observe My Law and My decrees, and you were asked to repent wholeheartedly; the purification has already started and some of you were already visited by Me; have you forgotten your words in your alarm when you exclaimed in agony: “I have been snatched in Your Fire, Lord!” at last admitting your guilt, with groans of repentance?
as for those who have not yet received My visitation many torments await them, the Day of the Lord will come upon them too, and what a day that will be! I shall be swift to show My Mercy, provided you repent ... I will show My Mercy and gather all of you from everywhere under heaven; but before that, I, the Author of this Love Hymn, tell you, unless the world in its wickedness turns to Me, repenting, rendering love for evil, what can happen to you all will outline all historical records of purification!
Lord! I don’t know what to say!
there is no fervent repentance, no real compunction ... the nations are in uproar, and their achievements are the measure of their godlessness ... all the earth will suffer unless I hear a true cry of repentance; ah, and those who stand up on platforms proclaiming peace and how, and in which way one has to establish peace among themselves, when these very ones are transgressing My commandments and are at war with Me, how do they expect in their right mind to bring peace?
do not despair though, in the end, salvation will come from the Triune God; the One you keep rejecting, godless generation, in the end you will live in peace; the God who is enthroned above will enforest you and My Spirit will flow continuously like a lustrous stream in dry lands; I will fill all things in My own Light, in this Light I will remove the darnel from the wheat; as I have said to you, I will separate the goats from the sheep;
those who will find themselves outside My Divine Light, I will be to them inaccessible and invisible, and only darkness will be their dwelling; but those who will find themselves inside My Divine Light will be blessed, and will be light themselves inside My Light; I will encompass them imparting them in My own brightness; the more pure the soul, the more brighter she will be; happy the man whose fault is forgiven, whose sin is blotted out; happy the man whom I accuse of no guilt, whose spirit is incapable of deceit!
tell your generation that God is here, with you all ... ic;
