not wanting to come and throw itself in her
arms and showing that it needs affection
from her. The mother's heart was utterly
shattered to see her child in misery and
ignoring her too, she who could do so much
if it had confidence in her!
- The child was me; the mother, Jesus.
- And all this because I felt as if I’m not
getting anywhere, the message on my back
and not doing much. I decided to go and
sleep on it to forget. So I went to bed and
tried to sleep to forget, in the afternoon this
was. I thought of Jesus but I felt too
miserable to even face Him.)
beloved, I am your Consoler! lean your
head on Me, allow Me to caress you and
soothe your pain, allow Me to whisper in
your ear My words; inside My Heart I
have a place for you; spend no time
elsewhere; come now in your place;

Vassula, you shall face severe trials,

do
not forget My Presence, I am near you;
believing in My Heavenly Works is
also a grace given by Me; My Works, in
your eyes, appear quite unorthodox, but
I am God and with whom could you
compare Me to? and to what can you
compare My Works to?
Vassula, when I see how so many of
My sacerdotal souls deny my signs and
My Works, how they treat those to
whom I have given My graces and
remind the world I am among you, I
grieve ... they are unwillingly damaging

The Lord is preparing me for my apostolate.

they deny My Works,
thus making deserts instead of making
the land fertile!
Lord, if they deny Your works there must
be reasons!
spiritually they are dead; they are
deserts themselves and when they spot a
flower in that great wilderness they
made, they rush to it and trample on it,
destroying it,
Why?
why? it is a misfit in their wilderness,
they make sure that their desert stays
arid! I find no holiness in them, none,
what have they to offer Me?
Protection Lord! Protection not to distort
Your Word!
no, they are not protecting Me, they are
denying Me as God; they deny My
Infinite Wealth,
they deny My
Omnipotency, they are comparing
themselves to Me; do you know what
they are doing? they are promoting
atheism, they are multiplying My
scourgers, they are increasing spiritual
deafness, they are not defending Me,
they are deriding Me! I have willed, in
spite of their denials, to help them, so
that in turn, they would help and feed
My lambs;
love Me Vassula, honour Me by never
denying Me;
I will never deny You. I will never deny
that these are Your Works Lord, even if I
had to die!
My sweet myrrh, My remnant, My
beloved, look after My interests; be My
altar; remain little so that I work in you
and act in you, come let us pray,
