Stigmata Manifestation in Australia

COMMENT BY VASSULA

Vassula says:

"Christ is grieving more than ever because His Words are being trampled on and

have fallen on deaf ears. Nobody listens to what Christ wants in our times, but

constantly His noble Theme is attacked by His Own, calling it "Private

Meditations." They are not doing God's Will and prohibit others to listen to what

God's Will is in our times. In other words, they hold the Keys to the Kingdom of

God and neither do they go in themselves nor do they allow others to go in. He

has given exterior signs by appearing on me and that many people have

witnessed; and now He is showing His Grief on a live person since people ignore

His exterior signs.

Today it seems that it is very difficult for many to accept spiritual manifestations;

even more, that Christ can be speaking to an individual. Their minds are focused

on naturalism* and have lost the essence of God Himself, and all that is spiritual.

Thus, everything that comes from God today is examined in a naturalistic

manner, denying any supernatural power coming from God."

* naturalism - a theory denying that an event or object has a supernatural

significance; specifically: the doctrine that scientific laws are adequate to account

for all phenomena.

AVO'S INTRODUCTION

Marianne, baptized Roman Catholic, is a participant of the True Life in God

Prayer Group on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia. The TLiG prayer

group there gathers twice every month at the home of Avo & Suzy Vardanian,

once during the day and once at night. There is also a young adult prayer group

that comes together at their home once every month.

Marianne had come in touch with the True Life in God messages in the early 90-

s, but never read them seriously until she met Avo & Suzy in the late 90-s and

started participating in their then small prayer group, which led to a deeper

conversion within her and intimacy with Christ.

Four days before Vassula's visit to Australia for her 7 city witnessing tour across

the continent late February 2001, the statue of the Immaculate Conception of our

Lady at the home of Avo & Suzy started to ooze oil. From then onwards, the

prayer group started to grow, and our Lord has been gracious to shower the

prayer group with many other gifts, first of all with many conversions and deeper

intimacy with Christ among those who attend the prayer meetings regularly, and

then in February 2004 with the manifestation of His Stigmata Wounds on

Marianne that continues to this day on and off. Many other miracles have

followed since in the form ofglitter, oil and rose scented holy water that our Lord

continues to manifest to this day.

There have been many reported physical and spiritual healings as a result of the

oil and of the other miracles.

The most striking physical healing is the sudden disappearance of a growth in

one of the lungs ofJenny (who participates in the TLiG prayer group), as a result

of Marianne praying over her and touching her with the oil from her hands, but

also giving Jenny oil from the bottle that our Lord fills from time to time on the

altar in Avo's & Suzy's home.Jenny used that oil also to rub her chest liberally

with cottonwool.

It is interesting to note that the statue of the Immaculate Conception that started

to ooze oil in February 2001 was given as a present to Avo & Suzy by Marianne

on the 8th of December 1999, being the Feastday of the Immaculate Conception.

Neither Marianne, Suzy nor Avo were aware at the time that it was our Holy

Mother's Feastday, something they found outlater, as the Orthodox do not have

the dogma of the Immaculate Conception, and Avo & Suzy are baptised in the

Armenian Apostolic Orthodox Church.

Good Friday - 6

th

April 2007

Although the Wounds

are external and cause

much pain and

discomfort, at times

becoming unbearable,

Marianne's internal

suffering is far greater;

suffering that comes in

the form of anguish,

grief for souls, Christ's

repulsion of the sight

of sin throughout all

time which His Body

bore, the sorrow of

innocent victim souls,

and watching His

Mother suffer which

intensifies His sorrow

even more, breaking

His Sacred Heart that is

always united with Her

Immaculate Heart.

"Christ

gave us

everything, to the

point of laying down

his own life and

suffering the indignity

This is Marianne's 4

"Stigmata" Easter, if I

may phrase it that way. Since Lent 2004, when

Marianne first began to receive manifestations

of Christ's Holy Wounds in the palm of both

hands, our dear Lord, out of His unceasing

and wrath of man to save

and redeem their very souls

those that still crucify Him to

His Cries fall on deaf ears

and are completely ignored

Much of the wording in this

column is Marianne's.

Love for us, saw fit to continue manifesting

His Holy Wounds in various ways since then,

mostly during the Holy period leading up to

Easter, but profoundly on Good Friday.

While sadness and melancholy

were a part of most days during

Lent in which time parts of

Christ's Passion did manifest,

this began building up more

intensely and progressively

during Passion week. It became

more profound from Holy

Thursday onwards.

The thought came into

Marianne's mind that now that

Bj is with her, our Lord may

hold back from giving outward

signs and external wounds with

blood flowing, so as not to

shock him. But it was not to be.

By early Friday she could not

hide her heavy interior grief

and sorrow.

Marianne made it a point not to

hide her feelings from Bj, so

that he understood her need to

leave him from time to time for

intimate time alone with Christ.

Meanwhile he occupied his

time by doing necessary chores

around the house, making

meals to share together, since

he is a gourmet chef and loves

to cook. He also found time to

tend to some gardening.

Marianne would spend some

short periods of time with Bj

for a cup of tea, sharing some

moments about the building up

of sorrows that she was

experiencing.

heart: to be there for me in

spirit of love and care."

Out of respect for his wish that

his name not be mentioned

here, we'll refer to him here by

the pseudo-initials of Bj. Bj had

to leave Friday around 5:30 pm

to catch the train back to

Brisbane from the Gold Coast,

an hour's train ride, where he

needed to start work early next

morning.

In addition to feelings of

suffering related to Christ's

rejection by humanity,

Marianne says she also suffers

due to the obvious physical

pain; at the same time, as she

puts it, being totally united

with Christ in a kind of rapture

which she describes as

transcendent and Bitter Sweet,

numbing the senses from

anything else.

This year Marianne's youngest

son (he is 25) came to stay with

her at his own request from

Holy Thursday afternoon until

Friday late afternoon, knowing

full well of what our Lord had

done with Marianne in the

previous 3 years and of the real

possibility of something

happening during his stay with

his mother.

On reflection, Marianne says:

"This was divinely inspired as

he would be an eye witness for

the 1

st

time of God's

supernatural manifestation of

Love through the experience of

a drop of His Passion on one of

the least of His creatures, his

own mother, something he

himself said he'll never forget.

Marianne points out how in this picture she looks up to

Heaven pleading with the Father not to turn His Face away

from her. Christ allowed her to experience somewhat what

He actually experienced in His final moments on the Cross.

Message from True Life in God - Dec. 3, 1988

Jesus says: beloved ones, when you have recently

split, part of Me was torn off, yes, they did not

realize that they have torn a part off My Body, oh

My beloved ones ... do I deserve this? ... why tear

My Heart? ... why tear on your God's Heart? ...

why fill My Eyes with more Tears of Blood?

... I

beg you, just like a beggar, who has been lamed

by his own friends, to return all of you to Peter

and be one, like the Father and I who are One

I am also calling all those who reject My Mother,

to open their ears and hear, My Mother is the

Queen of Heaven, She is by Name, Mother of

God;

I am not blaming those who had not known, I am

only trying to bring you back to The Truth; I also

call out for the conversion of this world, I am

also reminding those who have forgotten My

Omnipotency that they should not compare Me

to themselves,

I am reminding you all that you

are living in the End of Times and thus My Signs

have increased ... Scriptures are being fulfilled ...

Marianne remarks how a sudden strong gust of wind accompanied by thunder and rain came over the area

about 5 to 10 minutes after my phone call with her. The duration was very short. I noticed this sudden

gust of wind upstairs in my study too (we live very close to Marianne). I remembered that I had to close

the window because the wind was blowing away my papers. There was also some rain coming in.

I will let Marianne's own words describe the remaining but most significant events of the day on the

following 2 pages, as I took a video of her later talking about her experience. My wife Suzy typed up

Marianne's words by watching and listening to the video.

Just before 2.30 pm

I called Marianne to

find out how she

was. She answered

the phone with a

heavy tone,

speaking in a slow

low voice, letting

me know how her

head was building

up with an

enormous pressure,

together with the

sorrow so much so,

that she felt her

head would

explode. She

explained that as

yet there were no

external signs on

her.

Bj was quiet, it is his nature to be

quiet, but you could see he was

completely overwhelmed, it was

like he was in a shock. If I saw

some one without knowing

anything I would say he was in

shock.

I called him for some water. He

went and got me several glasses

of water, but nothing relieved my

thirst.

I got up as I could see better and

walked to my Altar to be nearer

to Jesus' Image. I sat on the chair

near the table as I was dizzy and

disoriented. Again my eyes

began to burn, and this time I

was aware of the blood coming

in gushes in both my eyes and

conversion of souls, for

reparations for having

dismembered His Body, for those

who openly mock Him and His

Holy Mother, and all His

Sacerdotal souls and apostles of

the end of times that are being

persecuted for His Noble

Messages that have been

reserved specially for these times

of Hell on earth through open

rebellion for all that is holy, and

those souls that say they know

Him, and yet by their indifference

and false humility lead Him hour

after hour on the road to

Calvary. Christ was continually

in vain, and that many Graces will

sort of wide open, with an

expression of "what is next?".

I felt wetness on my head

because my hands were there

trying to relieve the pressure,

and I said to him: "Will you

it's very wet in my hair." He

looked and let me know that it

was indeed

I suddenly

couldn't see any more. I was

crying with sorrow by then. I felt

a burning sensation in my eyes;

blood had started to come from

my eyes.

So I asked him about

I in my miserable state through

that to dissolve myself, becoming

a mere icon for Him to imprint

on me whatsoever He wishes. To

glorify Him is all that matters.

This understanding occured in a

relatively short time.

I laid down and he needed to go

outside. So while he was outside,

I had that little respite, very short

though. During this time Christ

let me understand that His Grace

was upon me, and that He was

cup, encouraging me to

Marianne recalls:

I had just

spoken with you on the phone

with great difficulty. I was sitting

on the couch with Bj on my left,

my hands holding my head trying

to relieve the pain and the

pressure in some way that was

very apparent for Bj to see. That

blood".

I went back down, slumped over

the table again, and that is when

my breathing started to be less

and less and I was

swallowing and

suffocating, then I stopped

breathing for short time.

During these moments I

spontaneously uttered: "Oh how

He suffers for us. Oh how He

suffers watching His Mother". This

is how He felt from the Cross,

watching His Mother while He

Himself was suffocating.

I am not exactly sure how long and

then all of a sudden it was just

over. And Bj said, "Oh! Mum, you

wont believe it, it is

3 minutes

after 3".

So he knew there was some

significance in that time. I had such

total peace at that moment. I was

exhausted but just totally at peace,

hardly breathing but in a peaceful

way. It was just so incredible. He

just sat there with his arm around

me for a time and it was just so

private, intimate and beautiful.

I remembered the thought

occurring to me that Jesus on the

Cross was saying: "Mother, I give

you your son John and to John,

this

is your mother". I felt it was

somehow such beautiful intimate

and a private time. I just blessed

God, and said "Thank you for

giving me opportunity to be with

my son and share that with him",

because it was very private and it

is not something that can happen

with any one. It was a very big gift

that my son could witness it. After

that I just cleaned myself up

slightly, just enough so that I could

rest here with Him.

so happy, I am here for you mum".

Then I started to weep

uncontrollably in the sense that, I

felt a building up again and then,

all I know, he told me later that my

breathing was shallow

and it was

limited. I felt I was

choking.

My

mouth was filling up. I could taste

blood and it was a lot, because I

was swallowing all the time; and

then I said: "Bj, I am swallowing

crown of my head.

I called out: "Bj Bj come!" and so

he came and sat next to me and

comforted me because I had

slumped over the table, and as I

was slumped over I let him know

that I was so comforted that he

was there. He was asking me if

there is anything he could do. I

said "No, I am so happy you are

here", and he actually said, "I am

In this newsletter, Marianne has tried

to describe as much as possible in

plain

human words,

her deepest feelings of

profound oneness with Christ during

these moments of intense internal and

external suffering around the time of

3 pm. Christ has allowed Marianne to

experience to some degree, what He

went through during those very last

moments on the Cross before He

breathed out His Last Breath. In this

respect, Marianne makes reference to

those passages in this newsletter

where she makes mention of

swallowing blood and suffocating, and

whereby her breathing apparently

seems to have stopped as observed by

her son Bj. On top of all this, Christ

also allowed Marianne to experience

His grief over His Mother, seeing Her

suffer so much from the Cross.

Marianne is trying to swallow the blood that continues to accumulate in her mouth.

Late 2006

We would like to share with you the

miracle of the "bleeding Host turned

flesh" in Marianne's mouth, as

witnessed first hand by a priest, Suzy

and myself during a private Mass late

2006, where only the three of us were

present with the celebrating Roman

Catholic Priest. Out of respect for the

wish of the priest I cannot disclose his

name or the date of the miracle. I hope

you understand this. During Mass I

was standing between Marianne and

I looked at her, and saw that her

mouth was red. She hesitantly

opened her mouth just slightly to

show me the inside of her mouth. I

could clearly see a piece of flesh on

her red tongue. With a low voice I

called out to the priest: "Fr. ...,

look..." pointing my finger at

Marianne. I don't know what went

through the priest at the time, but

he was quite amazed.

I quickly grabbed my digital camera,

asked Marianne to open up her

mouth a bit more, and took two

shots. In the hurry of things I failed

to capture Marianne's complete

face, and only concentrated on her

mouth area. It was a holy moment

during Mass, and I felt quite out of

place to do just that, taking

pictures, but I felt I had to do it. The

urge was too great to let this

miracle of the Host go by without

being documented.

Marianne explained later that she

had trouble swallowing the Host,

and that it took some time for her

to negotiate the Holy Piece of Flesh,

the Most Holy Body of Christ, down

her throat. She did not want to

chew on it but swallow it whole.

The Host normally melts on the

tongue, that was what Marianne

expected; but suddenly to feel a

piece of Flesh on the tongue startled

her. Her whole mouth and tongue

was red, covered by His Most

Precious Blood.

On the pictures, around Marianne's

mouth, you can see the gold

coloured glitter. Even before

Mass, Marianne's face and chest

were already covered with lots of

glitter.

The phenomenon of gold glitter on

Marianne's body started in January

2005, and has continued to this day

not only on herself, but also on

statues, pictures, holy objects,

books, prayer leaflets, furniture, the

floor, etc. in both Marianne's and

our homes, but also in the homes of

at least two other families, although

not with the same intensity.

Glitter has also been noticed on the

faces and hands of some who attend

the True Life in God Prayer Meetings

at our home, but also when they are

in their own homes.

Outside the three of us (Suzy,

Marianne and myself), I have

counted more than a dozen people

Suzy. During the consecration, I felt

something going on in Marianne. I

could tell from her breathing. When

the three of us received His Body and

Blood, Marianne's breathing became

heavier.

so far who have received the glitter

on either their faces or hands

(including two clergy), at our home

or in their own homes, and this

number is increasing. Two people

have even reported glitter in their

bed.

This Eucharistic Miracle is yet

another miracle in the long list of

signs and wonders our Lord has

been giving us at our two homes,

Marianne's and ours,

and I cannot

note otherwise than the Divine

origin of three things:

Y

the True Life in God messages

Y

our Lord's various

manifestations on Marianne in

the form of Stigmata Wounds,

Oil, Incense and Glitter

Y

the Signs and Wonders He

Himself is showering us and

others in the TLiG Prayer Group

on the Gold Coast.

For those of us who still doubt in

the Real Presence of our Lord and

God Jesus the Christ in the Most

Holy Eucharist, we pray that this

miracle so close to home will

replace that doubt with a firm and

constant faith in and devotion to

His

Perpetual Sacrifice. Amen.

SUPERNATURAL MANIFESTATIONS OF AUSTRALIA GIVEN SOME

EXPLANATIONS

A Letter from Vassula

I just want to say a few things more about the phenomena of the glitter. In

Venezuela this phenomena is an old phenomena that exists since years and the

definition of this phenomena, as Fr. Laurentin explained it to me now in the

pilgrimage bus when I sat near him are graces from God. I specifically asked him

what are they for? That was his reply.

The glitter from the statues like the case in Venezuela where our Lady appeared

to a nun and gave her messages, from our Lady's dress that was designed with

stars, one of the stars fell off the dress and broke in zillions of glitter. A sign, as

explained of graces that covered Venezuela. Since then many prayerful people

who are near God get the glitter on them. The statue of our lady in the convent of

that visionary nun which is a Rosa Mystica, has gold glitter all over her and

around her. A very old nun from another convent in Caracas who is indeed a

saint had taken me to that visionary nun to meet her and I saw the Rosa Mystica

covered in gold dust. The next day the old nun urgently called me and cheerfully

asked me to visit her in her convent to show me that in her little room all around

her bed was gold glitter and in her heart she knew that our Lady had visited her.

When there is a false visionary who claims to receive messages and deals with

Satan because her evil intentions are to rob off good hearted people and become

rich from their purse, Satan, being a legalist, and a specialist in aping God is

given the power to produce, ape, what comes from God. Eventually he is

unmasked but after having harmed a lot of good intentioned people. We know of

false visionaries who had too the glitter but not before long they are unmasked.

The signs from God are also meant for a reason. Here one needs discernment.

Very few have the gift of discernment. As I see it, the lady with the stigmata

(Marianne) is a quiet person who never asked for anything, she got the stigmata

and a lovely odor comes out of the wounds. She suffered it the first time during

Lent. Then Easter. Oil coming out of her face and hands. This oil was so that

she anoints sick people, like Myrna. Anything she touched (religious) poured

myrrh. Then it was the host that turned into flesh and blood in her mouth. We

also know of Therese Neumann who had just the same thing when her eyes filled

with tears and wept tears of blood. It is not necessarily a must that messages

should follow with the stigmata. For instance Padre Pio did not receive messages

and yet had the stigmata.

However, when the supernatural is going on, either when there are visionaries

seeing our Lady or Jesus, or someone has received the gift of locutions, Satan

too is allowed to step in usually in the beginning (so that he cannot tell God he

11

had no chance) and will try to spoil what actually comes from God. Here is where

discernment is necessary.

The visionaries in Medjugorje at one point saw a fake virgin Mary. It was Satan

who appeared to them as our Lady and they discovered it by looking at the feet

where they saw goat feet. (He cannot appear completely perfect and must

always leave a sign of his otherwise he'll pop!) Padre Pio too in the beginning of

his ministry, the devil appeared to him as a monk giving him a letter which said

that he should leave that monastery to go to another one, but as he was reading

it, it took fire and he recognized the devil. Me too, when in the beginning the devil

appeared to me as my angel trying to tell me that God never speaks in this way

to people, then gave an insult, I knew, then took also the form and way of

speaking of my deceased dad to ask me to stop writing, then again said

something ugly, I knew. He always will leave his signature.

Coming to the phenomena of the big bottle being filled overnight and the

coliseum on the wall drawn in oil, here one has to pay attention. We must not

judge already but open our eyes and observe. We must not jump either into

premature conclusions by condemning it lest it really comes from God but remain

prudent and give it time as I said to Avo for these two particular signs. Give it

time and time will tell. Avo is a humble personality and he and Suzy never got

offended but accepted my advice.

Also we should know that these things are happening in Avo and Suzy's house

together with their friend Marianne who is in their TLIG prayer group. Since then,

with what is happening over there, their prayer group multiplied from a few to a

hundred people who come and pray regularly. Their house has become a shrine,

filled daily with people who constantly pray. This Armenian couple are no money

makers, on the contrary, they gave a lot of their own money from the beginning,

years back, to promote the TLIG messages, were always very faithful to the TLIG

messages and now they are heading to Armenia to re-establish the TLIG that

has been shaken and ousted out by Satan a few months after my visit. They will

try to give a proper file and a proper testimony to the Catholicos (the Pope of the

Armenian Church) on TLIG who persecutes the messages. They will be away

from their house (Australia)for a few months to testify and see that Armenia’s

heart opens up once more to receive and welcome the TLIG messages.

In Christ,

Vassula
