succumbs to My charms; I came to
prepare your heart, waking up your love
so that you drink from the Source of My
Heart which is sweeter than wine; then,
you would seek My resplendent
perfection and offer yourself voluntarily
to Me; then I, I for My part, would
celebrate My Strength and My Glory for
having overpowered you;1
ah, daughter-of-the-King, 2 I had
called you before My angels so that you
and your generation tastes My Love; and
now, dearest one, who constantly
trembles for fear of being deceived, your
Lord, Father and God of your life, tells
you: do not fear, for a heart founded on
prayer, love and humility will not flinch
at the critical moment of temptation, but
will chase the demons away;
have you not noticed how I have
exhaled a perfume like incense on you to
attract your attention? and now that you
are with Me let Me ask you: do you know
what My Sacred Heart desires? 3 that you
come to Me as a lily so that I enjoy your
heart once I engulf it entirely into My
Own Sacred Heart, love for Love, heart
for Heart; come, just like an ocean
swallows up a drop of water, so do I
want you to disappear in Me;
I love you to folly and I would like to
take you into the nuptial chamber of My
Heart, solely for Me, just I and you, so
that together we can share a retreat, or is
it a pilgrimage you want? is this 4 what
you want?5 we would go in the gardens
of My Heart and our friendship would be
such that even My angels would desire
your place;
ah, if only you knew, My beloved one,
the love I have for you .... whatever you
choose, pilgrimage or retreat, you would

3 I could not guess.
4 It means the latter.
5 I sighed not knowing what my Lord wants and
means.
not have to walk, I will carry you in My
embrace and relieve your feet which
stood for Me6 during hours in your
mission, ministering for Me; does not
dew relieve the heat? in the same way I
will relieve your feet;
Vassula, have you understood why I
have come to you as the Sacred Heart? I
have come in this way so that, from this
very Heart,7 you obtain Mercy .... yes,
not just you, but all of you; come now;
why the trembling? have I not espoused
you to Myself with a ring? have I not
given you a glimpse on the delights of
My Heart? have I not shown you the
goodness of My Heart? so why this
hesitation?
Lord, I simply do not comprehend a bit of
what Your wishes are, this offer that You
want to perform with me, this pilgrimage
or retreat. I do not understand.
My beloved, whom I raised and called
for Myself and for My Glory, come now
and feast in Me; I will be your joy and
your smile, I will be your banquet, I will
let you profit from the Treasures of My
Heart;
take a look at Me, take a look at My
Heart .... look, have I not opened the
gate of My Heart for you? My Royal
Heart was offered to you; come and find
your joy in Me;
if the world has sworn to hurt you, I in
My turn have sworn to protect you from
absorbing their poison, and designate
you for My Glory; if the world is
treacherous, it was to prove to you, that I
alone am always faithful in My Love and
in My friendship; therefore, you whom I
nurtured, to you I say: do not get
discouraged with what has happened to
you; I have allowed this weight to
overwhelm you for My greatest glory;

slightly shook His divine Head.
7 Jesus was showing with His forefinger His Heart.
