The following is an extract froman address given by Vassula to the Ecumenical Conference of the WORLD COUNCIL
OF CHURCHES, Geneva, January 23 1992.
One day, quite unexpectedly, God came suddenly and surprised me. It was late November 1985, He said:
“Will I, brother, one more season go through the pain I have been going through year after year? Or will you give Me
rest this time? Am I going to drink one more season the Cup of your division? Or will you rest My Body and unify, for My sake, the Feast
of Easter? In unifying the date of Easter, you will alleviate My pain, brother, and you will rejoice in Me and I in you. And I will have the
sight ofmany restored; ‘my Beloved! my Creator!’… I solemnly tell you: summon, assemble all of you, and listen this time to your Shep-
herd: I will lead you in the way that youmust go. SendMy Message to the ends of the earth.”
(4/10/1991)
“My Spirit will be at work restoring Peace among brothers and throughMy Cross andMyWounds, I will unite you all in one single
Body and have you glorify Me around One Single Tabernacle, and the barrier which keeps you apart will be broken. The ban will be
lifted (Rv. 22: 3) and My Sacrificial Throne will be in its place. Come to Me as little children that I may open the eyes of your soul that
you may see what Hope My Call holds for you.”
(Jesus, 25/10/1991)
Patmos 2007, feast of the Holy Spirit, from the 6th TLIG Ecumenical Pilgrimage, ‘in the
footsteps of St. Paul’. Participants included 500 pilgrims from 67 countries, 87 priests,
bishops and cardinals from 17 different Church denominations.
C
hrist, offended, said in a message:
“My Kingdom on earth is My Church
and the Eucharist is the Life of My
Church, this Church I Myself have given
you. I had left you with one Church but
hardly had I left, just barely had I turned
back to go to the Father, than you
reduced My House to a desolation! You
leveled it to the ground! And My flock is
straying left and right… For how long
am I to drink the Cup of your division?
Cup of affliction and devastation! You
have offered the Holy One, the One you
say you love, a cup so wide and so deep,
filledwith bitterness and sorrow that My
palate is drier than parchment, My lips
covered with blisters. The
flavour of this cup this
generation is offering Me
is as bitter as venom. I am
not alone to swallow My
Tears, your Holy Mother
is sharing My grief since
Her Immaculate Heart
is united in love to My
Sacred Heart but soon I
shall renew you all with
My Fire.”
(TLIG, 14/11/1991)
This
lament
coming
from Christ should be
heeded by us and the
search for reconciliation and unity must
pervade the whole life of the Church
and become our priority so as to reach
this goal that is Christ’s goal. It is our due
to God, it is our obligation to God, and it
is our responsibility for safeguarding the
credibility of the Church.
All priests should imitate Me in their
life. I am not speaking of those who
imitate Me and are like My Abel
who was pleasing to Us, because
of his sacrifices and his sincerity,
but of those who are like Cain, and
Esau and Juda and
the Scribes and the
Pharisees. Of these I
am speaking, for their
conduct contradicts
My Holy Rules. Must
I, for their sake, go
on drinking from the
cup of your division,
this cup forced on Me by them? So
True Life inGod
is to pray for unity and for unifying the dates of Easter, since this
is the great desire of our Lord Jesus Christ. We can be the first fruits of unity
by assembling and praying together in one heart and one voice. Jesus said:
“I
need humility and love, and the conversion of your hearts to be the foundation of
your unity”.
far I have put no pressure on you.
I have been pleading with you to
unify the dates of Easter but you
are not hearing My Spirit; you have
exploited the patience of My Father.
This time again I am asking you to
unite the Easter dates so that My
Spirit shines on you with grace and
brings My House into one.
(Jesus, 27/11/96)
