intimate with you and have Me as your
Holy companion;
do you know of the parable of the
prodigal son, Vassula?
Yes, some of it.
he had sinned, but how did his father
receive him?
With great joy?
more than that, he received him with
great love, and celebrated this event;
grieve Me not, My beloved ones, and
come back to Me; I will not refuse you; I
will welcome you in My embrace; return
to Me without fear;
March 19, 1987
I am here; it is I, Jesus;
Vassula, elevate yourself to Me; I want
you to be perfect; delight Me and
become perfect; are you willing to be
perfect?
(I was speechless.)
I want you to be; I am asking you,
Vassula;
But Lord, to be perfect is quite impossible.
As I am, to be close to being good is already
something for me.
Vassula, I will teach you to be perfect; I
tell you truly that it is not impossible,
but you must let Me mould you;
abandon yourself completely to Me and I
will form you into what I desire you to
be;
Jesus I don’t think I can ever be. I’m
difficult to mould, it will be like trying to
mould a rock.
Vassula, ah Vassula, do you not trust
Me? I am God and I can mould even the
rocks into any shape I want; do you
know why I have chosen you?
Yes, Lord.
here is still one more reason; I chose you
because you are weak, and your
weakness charms Me; child, come and
feel My Heart, My Heart desires to be
loved; come and feel My Heart with your
mind; Vassula, are you ready? feel Me;
(I was petrified.)
grieve Me not, come and feel Me; you are
not feeling Me; 1
No, I have not felt you; I had not the
courage to do it.
will you tell me your problem?
It’s getting worse now.
why?
(I felt embarrassed because I felt so
unworthy.)
My embarrassment. I feel embarrassed to
face You.
Vassula, why? grieve Me not and tell Me
your problem;
I felt embarrassed to touch Your Heart. It’s
like I saw myself as a leper coming to touch
someone whole. who am I to approach You!
every time you feel embarrassed I love
you more;2 daughter, since we are united
for eternity and you are Mine, I will
allow Myself to penetrate deep inside
1 In the sense of sensing His Love.
2 I understood later on that He felt pleased that I
realised my unworthiness.
