Me, remember? have I not said that you
are to serve Me among wretchedness,

it is I, Jesus; let it be known that any
image of Mine or of My Mother’s is to be
honoured, for it represents Us as My
Cross is representing Me; let it be known
that My Holy Shroud is indeed
authentic, It is the same that covered
Me; blessed by Me, Vassula, enter in My
Heart, let Me Hide you in there; rest;
come, come to your Father;

console His pain forgetting my pain.

(I would go and repair for the pastor, as St.
Mary asked me to do. Later on my cousin
Ismini rang me up telling me they will go
visit Turin in Italy, and asking if we’d like
to go with them. Finally, I thought, it was
my dream always to go there and visit the
Cathedral that has the Holy Shroud. Jesus
has arranged it again for me. I would go.
My cousins drove us to the hotel where
they usually go. Turin is an enormous
town, but our hotel was 500 meters from
what I went for! Jesus made it easy for me.
We arrived Saturday lunchtime, and after
a while I went to the Cathedral. I was very
impressed. Upstairs was the Holy Shroud
in the dome of the Cathedral. I thought I
saw the Holiest of places. Peace and
Holiness reigned in that dome. I felt it in
me, it was wonderful.
Later on I left for the hotel. It was
evening when my cousin returned from
shopping. I rushed to her to tell her where I
was, but she seemed to be flying towards
me, she didn’t want to hear me, she wanted
me to hear her, for what she saw and
discovered was so wonderful.
She said, “Vassula, that road we passed
by 10 times and I, for so many years, I
never saw St. Mary's statue there. But it’s
enormous! Almost three meters high. It’s so
beautiful, Her dress with so many pleats,
and her blue cape. She looked so beautiful,
and She has Her arms opened like She’d
like to embrace the world, you must come
and see Her. You passed by Her, haven't
you seen Her? At each side of Her were
satin curtains, red-scarlet, shiny and
beautiful.” I said I passed it but I only saw
the curtains which were worn-out, half red
and half yellow. She told me that she too
for years did not notice it. I had seen no
statue.
The following day, Sunday, she wanted
me to go and see the enormous statue so I
said, “After I take you to the Cathedral
where the Holy Shroud is.” So she followed
me. It was Sunday Mass. We stayed half an
hour, then after lighting a candle we left for
the big statue of St. Mary. We arrived there
and my cousin almost fainted. For there
