True Life in God

contents; the thorns are the worries of
the world and the lure of riches that can
perforate the heart and dry it up from
the Life giving Spring;
Lord, You have been
the Gate for Your revelation to me
and in doing so,
You have hid me well within You;
because of Your great Love,
You became flesh and dwelt among us;
tell me, Lord, how can one not lose You?
how can anyone
contain You forever in their heart
without losing You
in this tempestuous world
filled with toxins and temptations?
for it seems that for he who does not
cherish You from the very beginning
as one should, nor exalt Your Holy Name
as we ought to, nor fear You,
nor reach equality of love as You love us,
the risk is great;
many of us will be losers from day one...
Yes, Lord, is that not the truth?
So tell me, Lord, what is the secret
of not becoming perforated,
and, is there any remedy
to the damage if once done?
for men this is impossible; for God
everything is possible;

then too, everyone is given the gift of
free will; the man who fears Me will be
willing to accept correction and will not
lose Me; those who seek Me will be
nourished by Me and will remain full;
Love is the Spirit of God, through which
you obtain My Light, illuminating your
heart; anyone who truly and sincerely
struggles to participate in My Grace, can
remain dispassionate of this world and
will not lose the sublime substance in
their heart; but if one stops and
converses with Temptation, listening to

the worldly riches, this one will remain
in the world and will be trampled by the
dust of sin;
I had said that My Father and I and
the Holy Spirit will come and dwell with
the soul that loves Me and keeps My
Commandments; My Presence is fully in
these hearts and through the Light We
shed in them, these souls come to the
Divine Knowledge of Myself; this great
Knowledge filled with love lead their feet
into the Nuptial Chamber where I, their
Bridegroom, wait for them to enjoy
untroubled peace...
every soul can attain the heights of My
Love; every soul is called to a Divine
union with Me; why am I conversing
with you in your times? why am I
fragrancing with My Divine Odes this
generation? why am I addressing you in
poetry and religion? why have I gone
down to the obscure regions to be among
you? why am I shedding the radiance of
My inaccessible light on you all? why am
I visiting the graveyards and opening the
tombs in search of the dead? why am I
calling you to a Divine union and to a
spiritual marriage?
I will tell you why: even if you are
“damaged” as you said, Vassula, there is
hope left for reparation; this is what it is
all about; I come to save the sinner; and
as I said before; for men this is
impossible; for God everything is
possible;
2
in other words, I am infinitely
rich in Grace and it is by Grace you can
be saved; I do not desire the death of the
sinner; I am the Resurrection and I
desire that all of you live in My Light; for
this reason I descend on earth through
these Odes and by other means too, to
resurrect you, you who allowed
yourselves to fall from Grace into the
tomb and lie now putrefying by the
millions, due to sin...
