True Life in God
Notebook 11
watered and fertilised to maintain its
beauty; I am your Devout Keeper;
I love you;
I love You too.
(Jesus had seen the evil spirit pulling on
me, I did not realise it, while the evil spirit
was pulling I felt silly. Jesus was very quick
to rescue me. Only when the evil spirit’s
grip released, I realised my close fall! I
can’t believe what happened!)
May 16, 1987
(Last night coming back from a dinner, I
went up the stairs and a great odour of
incense penetrated my nose again. I
understood.)
Vassula, when you smell incense it is I,
Jesus Christ, I wish you to feel my
Presence; Vassula, I love you to
distraction and beyond measure, alas!
this Love which overflows my Heart, this
ardent Flame of Love burning, is so little
understood, so few come to draw from It
... so few ...
Jesus, many people don’t know how to
approach You, I'm so sure of that.
they can come and talk to Me; I hear
them; I can enjoy for hours any
conversation; it brings Me so much joy
when they would count Me among their
friends;
Last night, a man told me that all women
desire to be Magdalenes.
lo, not all;
Well, those that love you probably do then.
I want them to;
Jesus, I think we will have to rush.
where to?
Downstairs, check the oven.

come then, let us go;
Jesus when before Your approach I heard
of You like a myth, I never realised how
You are REAL. In my eyes, You were so far
away. A story in a book!
I know Vassula, I know, for many I am
still a myth;
find Me in Gethsemane next time we
meet; I will reveal to you My anguishes,
My sufferings and fears of that night;
come, allow Me to rest in you, daughter;
(Next day:)
come, find Me where I have told you;
O Gethsemane! what have you to
unfold but fears, anguishes, betrayals
and abandonments! Gethsemane you
have depleted men from courage, you
have suspended in your still air My
agonies for all eternity;
Gethsemane, what have you to declare
that was undeclared? you have
witnessed in the stillness of Holiness,
the betrayal of your God, you have
witnessed Me;
the hour had come, Scriptures were to
be fulfilled;
daughter, I know that many souls
believe in Me as though I was but a
myth; they believe that I existed only in
the past; for many I am but a passing
shadow now eclipsed with time and
evolution; very few realise that I existed
in flesh on earth and exist now among
you;
I Am All what came to pass and is to
pass; I know their fears, I know their
anguishes, I know their weaknesses,
have I not witnessed all these frailties in
Gethsemane?

I’d forgotten the oven which was lit.
