Assemblies? since all these words are
empty with emptiness; what purpose do
you serve? humble yourselves before you
fall ill; let My Words be your educator,
your counsellor and your delight; and
you shall live ....

The Lord is good for He has taught me;
He is known to teach and instruct
the poor and the wretched;
My Father, your Father,
is robed in Power and Majesty;
let us with one voice praise Him
and fulfil the vows
you and I made to the Most High;
Let us address our poem to the King;
but how I fear to hear:
“Have you been present at My Council?”
do not fear, I have driven you out of
beneath the ground, I have unburied
you, and said:
“peace will be yours, My child;”
out of the land of Egypt I brought forth
prophets and saints; a blessing on the
land of Egypt, may its foliage remain
green and the trees that grow by the
river Nile prosper and continue to
produce their fruit to feed its people; a
glorious throne was set in each place,
where the Virgin Mary, My Mother,
Joseph the Just and Myself passed by;
“Egypt, We tread on your soil and
incense raised in heaven as we passed
by; have you not read in Scriptures:
‘Ambassadors will come from Egypt,’

no less than the
height of heaven over earth is the
greatness of My Love for you; may your
soil continue to produce food and keep
you cheerful;”
you asked, Vassula, whether I am fully
in you, I, the Transcendent God; I have,
My beloved, displayed My signs and
wonders in the one I favoured and have
anointed you in My exuberant Love;
inebriated by your weakness, I held you
in My Hands, while Oil dripping like
distilled myrrh dripped all over you,
covering your head with drops of
anointed myrrh, taking the shape of
sapphires, in order to present you to the
Father who, when seeing all the signs of
His Son on you, would bless you

and
would converse with you; in My extreme
generosity I breathed on you My scent so
that you spread its sweet smell around
you, then, your enemies who are the
dark forces guided by Lucifer and Satan
and who are contradicting My Divinity
will know that you have a Witness in
Heaven and a Defender in the Heights
that will uphold you until you
accomplish your mission;
does all of this appear to you as
extravagant? why, no one is equal to Me!
I am not a mere scroll of a book! My
Vassula, I am not just a printed matter!
so much lack of confidence as though
you had received thorns in your hands
and not blessings!

let your enemies in their malice raise
their threats at you, at Me, at My
Divinity; let them; none of these will be

Our Lord made me understand that Egypt too, as
the Holy Land, should be considered as Holy. Our
Lord made me understand that Egypt protected the
Holy Family when They had fled there. Egypt fed and
gave drink to Them, but mainly protected Them and
God never forgets a good gesture.

It reminded me of Jacob’s blessing: Gn. 27.

That day I was suddenly ravaged by doubts, in my
extreme weakness. The Lord patiently spoke to me as
one speaking to a heart-broken child.
