yes, I am your Sunshine, but a tree needs
rain as well to be able to grow and
multiply its foliage and its fruit; when
your soul does not feel My rays for a
while, know that at that moment I am
refreshing you again;
and now tell Me, how does your soul
feel right now?
Right now I feel enamoured by Divine
Grace ....
cease then tormenting your soul and
reproaching Me; be grateful instead for
all the graces I have poured in your soul;
I am preparing you to receive a divine
visitation from the Holy Spirit who will
entrust you with His Message

and who
would leave with His Noble Theme an
everlasting memory to this generation
and to all future generations;
My tender spouse, be of Jesus as
Jesus is of you; I am for you as you are
for Me;

we are one for the other and so
complete in union and intertwined that a
number of souls have seen Me in you
and you in Me;

let Me delight and
contemplate Myself in you; I enjoy
immensely those moments when I gaze

In the Madrid incident. Many people in different
nations have seen our Lord’s Face appear on my face,
but for the second time Jesus allowed His Face to
look like mine. In Madrid a man looked at the big
poster of Jesus’ Face and was asking the organisers
of my meeting why were they putting up a poster of a
blond woman. The first time this happened it was in
Greece, Rhodos. The prayer group of True Life in
God were going to a hospital for charity to evangelise
and console the sick, always accompanied by the
priest of the hospital. One day they decided to
distribute Jesus’ portrait printed on a small postcard,
a famous image of Jesus which is on the island of
Patmos in the monastery, known to have shed tears.
The priest came to them quite upset, and had
collected back all the pictures; furiously he asked:
“Why are you distributing Vassula’s picture?”
Surprised, the girls asked him which picture, and he
showed them Jesus’ portrait. They told him that it
was Jesus, showing him His beard. The priest
remained silent...
at Myself; I have indeed clothed you with
Myself to possess you and have offered
you My Grace to possess Me in Grace;
call it if you wish: the folly of God,
enamoured of his creation to folly;

see? therefore, calm down your heart
and understand those moments of
privation;
I know that had You not shown Yourself to
me in the beginning (1985), I would be still
out there in the graveyard among the
putrefied. Had it not been for Your Grace, I
would have by now putrefied myself. My
soul was longing for You, when You were
prolonging Your rains upon me.
but now, My dove, have I not released
you from your pains? hear Me, Vassiliki:
know that while you were in the state of
privation I was resting in your heart ....
be blessed and find your comfort in
My Heart;

(This divine message that was foretold by
Jesus on April 21, 1998, has been given to
me by the third Divine Person of the Holy
Trinity: the Holy Spirit. I was called by His
Divine grace every now and then to write
it. It finished on July 29, 1998.)
(The Holy Spirit speaks:)
peace be with you;
the theme that I am about to reveal to
you for the glory and the benefit of the
Church, this Church which Christ bought
with His Own Blood, is going to be one
of the noblest themes about Myself;
it is necessary that I manifest these
riches to your brothers and sisters so

At this moment, our Lord was reminding me of
another word which is often mentioned in
Scriptures: ‘the jealous love of God’.
