HUNGARY
October 30 – November 1, 2010
“
I have reserved for you, generation, riches and
wealth; in time of famine I come.
” (TLIG, 19.8.1994)
Vassula introduced the Messages of
True Life in God
to Hungary 15 years ago on her first visit in January
1995. She had been invited to speak in Budapest, the
capital city by Ilma Jordan, the Hungarian translator
of the TLIG Messages and a Charismatic group.
The first books were published by Fr. Katona and
Ilma Jordan’s son, and now the Hungarian TLIG
Association/Foundation publishes the latest TLIG
books. They are working on the TLIG One-book
edition in the Hungarian language. The number
of TLIG readers has grown and many TLIG Prayer
Groups have been established in Aldebrő, Budapest
, Hódmezővásárhely, Keszthely, Kőszeg, Salgótarján,
Szeged, Tab, Tardos, and Vác. The Prayer Groups of
Budapest and Szeged invited her this time.
We arrived in the morning at Ferihegy Airport in
Budapest from Zagreb, Croatia and were met by
young and dynamic TLIG Organizers Balazs Palko,
his wife, and friend Attila. Many of our TLIG
Associations were made up of young adults with
powerful testimonies such as Balazs’. When he
was asked how
True Life in God
came into his life, he
answered:
“I knew nothing about God until I was 25. Then back
in 2004, I had a deep conversion and TLIG had a great
part in it. My friendAttila introduced me to TLIG and
when I first saw a video of Vassula I could see Jesus’
Face for a moment instead of hers. Then I started
reading the messages and since then I’ve been always
convinced that it is our Lord speaking and He called
me to spread this message. I had 3 years of catechism
at our Franciscan parish, and I was baptized in 2007.”
Their enthusiasm for the
True Life in God
Messages is
the driving force to evangelize, to kindle the fire of
God’s Love in the hearts of the young, and re-kindle
the hearts of all those others who have drifted away
from God.
Saturday, October 30, Budapest - Press Conference
Two hours before the Public Meeting, a Press
Conference was organized in the VIP Room of the
Pestszentimre Sports Center. Attending this Meeting
were the Chief Editor of a Lutheran newspaper in
Budapest, a Lutheran Pastor/Theologian, a Roman
Catholic journalist from Radio Maria, and a Professor
and journalist from the Catholic University. Vassula
was given ample time to speak on
True Life in God
and
her mission for Christian Unity, after which questions
were asked:
How did Jesus change your life?
“For 25 years now, I am running around the world
under His Command – “Go and Christianize a de-
christianized society!” All He has given me in these
very long Messages, books, is for the benefit of the
Church. He changed me so much that I work only for
God, I have put God first.
I was not converted from books or from any human
dialogue, but when God Himself approaches a being,
it is totally different. He gives all that is necessary
for a mission like this, especially perseverance,
knowledge, and discernment. Having met God in
such a way, I would like to share with all others this
foretaste of the beatific vision. I want to transmit this
joy to people and tell them Jesus is all forgiveness.”
Can you tell us from your experience how to pray the
Rosary, to live the mysteries and understand them deeper?
“The Rosary is very important. As an Orthodox, we
do not have the chain but we have all the prayers
of the Rosary. However, Jesus asked me one day
to learn to pray the Rosary, and I did. Now all our
Prayer Groups, which are not only Roman Catholic,
but there are Lutherans, Anglicans, Orthodox, etc.,
pray it. Once they join our Prayer Groups and learn
the Messages, God opens their hearts and they accept
it, because after all, it is the Life of Jesus. It is accepted
also by Moslems as in our Prayer Groups in Dhaka,
Bangladesh, because they love Our Lady.”
But there is no reference in the Bible to the Rosary..
“Do you believe in the Holy Trinity? Where in the
Bible is it written? It is understanding the Bible; the
Holy Spirit brings the Church to understand certain
parts. For example, in the Bible, the Hail Mary
