True Life in God

from the body to join Him, and follow Him
only.
– Suffer; yes, suffering because of not
being with Him, of being still material on
earth, of having the feeling of being a
widow here. – Suffer; to know that I have
to follow daily life, material life. It is indeed
a burden to be rubbed constantly with a
balm of Technology and Science, with
disbelievers, with sceptics, with people who
think you are losing foot because of age.
Suffer; to have to follow their programs.
Suffer; to hide one’s feeling when I only feel
I want to dissociate from the world and be
alone, with God. Just He and me and no
one else and nothing else around me to
distract me.
Even this that I wrote I asked God to
help me write down my feelings, since I am
unable to express myself, and so He did,
whispering the right words in My ear! He
wants me to be among mankind; one more
cross to carry. My body aches.)
Mine too; all you feel I feel; daughter,
bless Me,
I bless You, my beloved God.
(Later, still feeling dissolved in God:)
I love you, see? love will suffer, love
binds, love offers abundant fidelity, love
has no restraint to sacrifice;
Vassula, the hours are fleeing, your
time is near; offer yourself, grow in
humility, eat from My hand; My beloved,
I will unbind your chains and your soul
will fly to Me very soon;
I love you, My God ...

I love you, it is I, your Spouse,
My flower, I will purify you; I will
continue saturating you, reviving you
with My Light and feeding you with My
Strength; Vassula, I will honour you by
letting you wear My thorned crown;
Jesus, how can You trust me?
I love you; by wearing My crown you will
understand the mockery I received, for
soon you too will be mocked upon; do
not forget, I will suffer as much as you
will suffer, for I am in you and you in
Me; I have united Myself to you, we are
one; come now, beloved, we will
continue My Works; I will give you
enough Strength till the end;
(In this message, I understood later on,
Jesus prepares me. I will be mocked and
laughed upon. At least He is with me, we
will share the mockeries together. Once
thrust out in the world for my apostolate,
the mockery and persecutions will start.)
Jesus, do you know I have not even
managed to reach a hundred times saying,
“I love You”, and You asked me to say it a
thousand times!
Vassula, ah Vassula, do you not know
that every act done with love is telling
Me “I love you”; you are showing Me
your love in that way too;
everything you do in your life you do it
to Me;
come; embellish! flourish! radiate!
fragrance! adorn Me with wreaths of
love; let every one of your petals replace
a thorn from My thorned crown; the
more petals the less thorns piercing Me;
I love you; love Me; teach others to love
Me; show them My appeal;
With Your help I am showing them. I can’t
do much.
love Me and heal My Wounds; let the
tears shed for Me be a soothing balm to
My Wounds; Vassula, wreaths are not
made only for funerals – they are also
