soul”, His attitude changed completely from
the skeptical and ‘scientific’ view he had prior to
Vassula’s interview. He was truly touched by every
word Vassula spoke.
The lost sheep return to the flock, and our Lord Jesus
is happy because as He said in the scriptures:
Suppose a man has a hundred sheep and one of them
strays; will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hillside and
go in search of the stray? In truth I tell you, if he finds it,
it gives him more joy than do the ninety-nine that did not
stray at all. Similarly, it is never the will of your Father
in heaven that one of these little ones should be lost
. (Mt
18, 12)
Public meeting
Never seen before - Vassula’s witnessing broadcast in
the middle of a city center!
The organizers had placed in the city’s plaza a large
screen directly linked to the meeting hall, so Vassula
would be seen and heard speaking about the love of
Christ and what Christ says to all of us. Her witness
was heard not only inside the meeting hall, but also
outside in the city centre. This somehow reminded
me of John the Baptist who was crying out and
calling for repentance, as this was one of Vassula’s
major themes.
Grimsvøtn Volcano
During our stay in Riga, we heard the news that the
Icelandic volcano was again spitting out its ashes..
We started to follow the news daily to find out if we
needed to cancel our travels. The ashes were headed
towards all Scandinavia and exactly where Vassula’s
program was to be held. Some airports were closing
down, so I asked her, “should we cancel our flights?”
She responded, “We have to leave it in God’s hands
now.”
So I remembered St.Paul’s words:
Nothing can take me away from the love of Christ For
I am certain of this: neither death nor life, nor angels,
nor principalities, nothing already in existence and
nothing still to come, nor any power, nor the heights nor
the depths, nor any created thing whatever, will be able
to come between us and the love of God, known to us in
Christ Jesus our Lord.
(Rm 8, 38-39)
And we continued our “odyssey” knowing that the
TLIG prayer group had started to pray to God for
help.
May 24 - 26 - Helsinki, FINLAND
On our arrival at Helsinki, Rev. Nicklas was waiting
for us. It was the first time that Vassula had witnessed
in Finland. We were happy that the weather was
beautiful and the sun was shining. Rev. Nicklas
greeted us warmly and drove us to our hotel.
As soon as Vassula saw this vehicle she said: “We can’t be louder”
