wounds by their persecutions and
insults;
let some of your friends even feel
ashamed of your presence while with
you, because of the notification, while
they would call this, ‘cautiousness’ ... this
unfairness pleases Me, for it sanctifies
your soul; come! I am your Friend! your
jealous Friend .... so for My sake, accept
the hardships, accept the scourge too;
remain weak so that I, I use My Power
on you and through you ....
never lift your head and act brazen;
remain with your head low so that the
world continues to see My Head; I, for
My part, will polish your soul arduously
so that you will witness in My Name
with zeal, and will proclaim Me as the
Risen Christ;
I was not wrong, lowering you, for in
having done so, I lifted you to Me; there
is no need to be surprised by My
Compassion, My infinite Compassion; I
am your Saviour, who died out of love
for you; this is why I am continuously
looking for any opportunity to have your
society ridicule you .... but just look, look
at all those indignities, all those wounds
that have been done on you and on My
Heart; My Heart opened even more now
for you so that you crawl in Its depths ....
suffering in My way means bringing you
closer to Me, closer to My traits, closer to
My interests; sufferings that delight Me,
bring you zeal, fidelity and ardour to
work for Me; I am, as you said, your
Rabbuni, thrice Holy and you, you who
are My pupil, I tell you: try to discover
what I want out of you;
I am the Living God and I forgave you,
and I became your intimate Friend; I led
you into My Kingdom so that you stop
worshipping false gods; I have entrusted
you with a work beyond your means, so
that through the Power of My Holy
Spirit, you would be raised; and you
grew in My Spirit; you were formed in
Him so that you move in Him and grow
strong; see what favours I have given
you? if you are bold in your speeches,
this boldness comes from My Spirit;
in return, Vassiliki, to all those
favours I have given you, I want a
renewed submission to My Will; you will
only gain freedom ....
I renew my vows to You, my Lord,
and I submit to Your Holy Will, my God.
“Alleluia!
“Let heaven praise Yahweh:
praise Him, heavenly heights,
praise Him, all His angels,
praise Him, all His armies!
“Praise Him, sun and moon,
praise Him, shining stars,
praise Him, highest heavens!
“Let them all praise
the Name of Yahweh,
at whose command they were created;
“Let earth praise Yahweh,
all kings on earth and nations,
princes, all rulers in the world,
young men and girls”

everyone, come and praise our Lord
and do His Holy Will.
by submitting to My Will, I will send you
all over the world to spread My
Messages .... speak and be My Echo and
say nothing more than what you have
learnt; I and you, us, let us continue
having a heart to heart conversation;
love Me; ic;
