Notebook 109 True Life in God 1117
reason your heart is enticed, ask you to
bear this wound of Love with sweetness,
for this will increase your fervour to
admonish even more now, your heart,
from falling into temptations;
altar! your statements entice Me, your
vehement boldness to seize Me and hold
Me fast without letting Me go so that I
breathe over My garden and spread My
sweet smell around it gives Me cause to
widen your wound; is it because you
have discovered honey and milk under
My Tongue? or is it the scent of My
garments? or is it may be My Divine
dominion and power uniting the
creature to the Creator? is it perhaps My
radiant pure Light that draws you to Me,
craving to seize Me and possess Me?
Your All is the vigour of my passion;
there is no other appropriate way
of describing why;
You are invisible God,
yet I can still seize You and possess You
without risking to catch fire
since You are Divine Fire too;
now that I seized You and hold You fast
for sure I will not let You go!
I will not let You depart from me,
nor will I let You abandon me
to be left alone in this life,
oh, no! never....
though I know You can withdraw
and weaken Your Light,
I will still converse with You;
I will be conversing with You under
the twilight of the stars and the moon;
but since a night is only brief,
and dawn is bound to come anyway,
I will once more be conversing
under the rays and brilliance of the Sun!
in You, I gather my myrrh,
from You I am nourished,
with honey and milk as drink;
be eager, My beloved, to possess Me; My
rewards are glorious to anyone I am
espoused with; I deign to join My Heart
to anyone who truly desires it and
courteously invite them to a Divine
union with Me; My Presence transcends
all understanding, even when you say,
My Vassula, that I am invisible, I dwell
well within you; I will keep ravishing
your heart so that I may keep obtaining
the most exquisite fragrances from My
beloved, and as the Father said once to
you I tell you: “like someone stretching
upwards his hand holding a censer filled
with incense, I will lift your heart,
holding it upwards, letting all those
rarest essences swirl out to perfume Me
and fragrance the earth; your sweet
fragrance will be all around Me,
delighting Me together with all heaven;
My joy will be so great that it will be
taken for a wedding dance...”
and you who read so far this Ode, be
eager to seek Me and unveil My Holy
Countenance as well in the Nuptial
Chamber; unveil My Holy Face and learn
to contemplate My Beauty and My
attractiveness; then as though in a spell,
you too will embrace Me while you will
be fading away in My Light; I will be
shining in all your members, and anyone
who sees you will be unable to tell one
light from the Other... seek Me with
great awareness, thirst for Love, pursue
Me, reach out for Me... for your sake I
slacken My pace to allow you to find Me;
do you not desire Life? My Presence in
you is Life, therefore enter into Life; I
am the Gate that leads to Eternal Life;
I am your Mystical Cup that once you
drink from It, a life-giving spring will
well-up from within you; a life spent
with Me is indeed a life spent in
contemplation on the Divine, receiving
ineffable blessings that transcend mind
and understanding, then the delights of
this earth will simply lose their value for
the Bridegroom will saturate you in the
