True Life in God
Notebook 88
One glance from You
and my spirit burns like fire,
and my heart melts like wax.
One glance from You
and my soul is ravished
by the depth of Your Love;
Your glance, my Holy One,
is like a royal wedding song,
it’s like the scent of a bouquet of lilies
wafted to me by the breeze,
Your glance is like a Citadel
with ivory towers all around ...
daughter-of-the-King,
1
see how your
King is waiting to take His joy in you?
your God has anointed you with His
Lips; My Lips are moist with grace and
My Lips will sing songs of salvation to
you so that we repeat them together to
the royal sons and the royal daughters
2
of the King, that they may learn to give
Us
3
the right praise and honour too;
then .... the days of virtues
4
will
flourish filling the heavens and the earth
with Our Glory;
5
My sister! let your
eldest Brother now carry you to have
your pilgrimage in His Eyes so that your
soul may contemplate the perfect light,
the principal lamp of the body; I had
said that the lamp of your body is the eye
and that if your eye is sound, your whole
body will be filled with light, but that if
your eye is diseased, your whole body
will be all darkness; beware then that the
light inside you is not darkness lest you
will be learned in evil and you would not
know it; the storm wind itself is
invisible, and when evil works, it works
in darkness to go undetected ....
1
Christ called me in an analogous name to mine,
because Vassiliki means, ‘daughter of the King’ too.
2
God’s whole creation; He indicates here that we are
of royal descent, of royal seed, since our Creator is
King.
3
The Holy Trinity.
4
The new heavens and the new earth, when God’s
whole creation will be renewed in the coming Second
Pentecost.
5
Jesus said these words majestically, filling me with
hope.
My Eyes have seen many such things;
for these pray and say:
“O Lord of all holiness,
preserve for ever from all profanation
Your sanctuaries
6
by purifying in Your Sacrificial Blood,
their inner self from dead actions;
amen;”
– do not allow your eyes rest on any
misconduct but lift them to heaven and I
will show you the light of My triune
Holiness to contemplate, each minute of
your life, Our Face, that will be turned
towards you;
enter into My Eyes,
7
so that you see
things the way I see them, do not think
that I will hide away from you those
fearful sights that bring Tears of Blood
in My Eyes; since I have brought you to
live a true life in Me, I will show you
these abominations so that you pray
more; in My Body lives the fullness of
divinity, and yet many of My Own are
persecuting Me because of My divinity;
use My Own Eyes
8
to read My Word to
establish in you the perfection that
comes through faith in Me; speak now to
My Heart, My chosen one ....
What can I say?
Of what can I speak to Your Heart?
It is You who valued me beyond price;
it is You who cured my eyes;
9
My perfect One, it was You
who told me of Your faithfulness;
it was You Yourself who brought me
to Your Royal Courts,
to walk freely in them;
how I wanted to rank you with My own
and give you My Body
10
.... I wanted so
6
1 Co. 3:17: “The sanctuary of God is sacred; and you
are that sanctuary.”
7
Jesus is speaking in metaphors.
8
Jesus is speaking symbolically.
9
Symbolically.
10
Jesus means the Holy Eucharist.
