True Life in God
Notebook 86
turn your eyes on My Sacred Heart
and Its brightness will fill your dark
night into the fullness of day; hold My
Sacred Heart and embrace It and Its
closeness to you will set a crown of
sanctified grace on your head, which will
bring your feet into the path of loyalty,
even to accept shedding your blood for
My honour; the Invincible holiness of
My Sacred Heart can be your shield
when evil is glorified by evil;
My Sacred Heart is like a tree filled
with fruit, with rich foliage in which you
can take shelter beneath Its branches;
the fire from My Heart is the power to
give you light in your soul, not even the
most blazing stars could ever illuminate
the dreadful night of your soul as the fire
coming from within My Heart; indeed,
the fire of My Sacred Heart is a thousand
times more resplendent than the sun; it
is like putting a thousand times more
than all the constellations of the
universe together;
with Me are divine love, divine mercy,
divine fruit,
divine light,
divine
sweetness, divine springs, divine wealth,
enriching those who approach Me, filling
their treasuries with My purity; anxious
to save My people from death, I said: “I
shall come to them with My Heart in My
Hand and open My Heart like a reservoir
and immerse them with My divine
Treasures; I will come upon them like a
huge ocean, to fortify them;”
with what can you compare My Heart,
this Heart that laid down the
Foundations of My Sanctuary? like a
sprig of frankincense in summer-time?
like the melody of a harp? like some
jewel of crystal-clear diamond? nothing
can be compared to the invincible
holiness of My Sacred Heart, for within
My Heart are sanctified graces, because
It is unique in Its splendour, manifold in
Its graces and virtues, subtle, gentle and
compassionate even to the most
wretched among you;
My Heart is active because I am the
Word and the Word of God is something
alive and active; My Heart is
invulnerable in Its Glory; It is
benevolent and full of mercy when you
are in need of help; since My Heart is the
throne of grace, have confidence in My
benevolence, I sympathise with your
ignorance; do not lose courage, know
that you have a permanent place in My
Sacred Heart;
I am the Word of God and from My
Mouth comes an incisive sword; I am
here, and My Heart will undertake all
things that are not right and put them
right with My sword; My Sacred Heart is
not complicated, I am not a complicated
God, because I am like a lamp, shining
from within and from without, and
completely lucid, therefore, you will
never be misled, and I will reassure you
all the time that holiness will be
rewarded in the end;
My Sacred Heart is so lucid and pure,
It is the Light of the world; divine and
irresistible is My Sacred Heart, for It
holds all the riches of your salvation; it is
he who receives this Heart graciously
that will be acknowledging Us as thrice
Holy with reverence, faithfulness and
honour, and in My divinity I will lead
him into eternal life;
My Sacred Heart throbs with love for
mankind because It is loving to man; if
you approach Me like a child, I will place
My Sacred Heart in the palm of your
hand and when you will see My
Treasures,
with learned sayings
revealing My mysteries and My secrets,
your holy fear for Me will seize you
because you will realise that I am God,
Triune but One in the unity of essence,
dearer to you than all the wealth of the
world and even your own life;
ah, Vassula .... mercy is to be found
with Me, yet so many of My children
abandon and scorn this merciful Heart;
exile though you are on earth, creation,
