True Life in God
975
“I exult for joy in My Lord; my soul
rejoices in My God thrice Holy, for He
has clothed me in the garments of
salvation, in His Divinity He has clothed
me; and like a bridegroom who
ornaments his bride, He has crowned me
with a wreath that never withers; like a
bride adorned in jewels I have been
invested with His jewels; now let my
God, in His Triune Glory, delight in me;
let Spring
1
flower in my heart and in my
bones; ah, how my soul rejoices in His
Divinity which will be the emblem of my
deification;
You who adorn every year the earth
and revive its dryness, turning it into a
bed of flowers of every hue, come and
adorn my heart and turn it into a spring
so that all the angels rejoice and say,
‘look! he has Yahweh's Spring in him!
the Bridegroom of all creation now can
step in His garden, in His Paradise; the
Lord of lords now can rejoice in him and
gaze admiringly on His Own reflection;
beauty and glory belong to the Most
High; Garment of Glory,
2
do not delay to
clothe your child in Royal Purple;’
graciously deign to hear me and
deliver me from my ever so miserable
flesh which was my empire that held me
prisoner on this earth and its
belongings; here, I am coming forward,
in front of Your Throne to offer you my
heart,
3
the only thing I own, as a token of
my love; ah, adorable Bridegroom,
transfigure my heart into a pure heart
and deify me through the divine power
of Your Holy Spirit, the Paraclete, the
Divine; let Him shine within me like a
Parousia now, and my soul will live and
will glorify Your Triune Divinity as well;”
1
Here it means: ‘God’.
2
The angels exclaimed to God: “Garment of Glory”,
because someone who is in a state of holiness can be
said that he is clothed with Christ.
3
Free will too.
then I, Jesus Christ, will respond to you
and say: “I will reward your humility by
letting damnation eat herself up; she will
be no more your dark companion, for
you have now replaced evil with love,
exchanged darkness with light; and
although you will continue to live in your
flesh, your spirit will be walking in
heaven and your heart that you have
given Me will have its wedding; yes, My
child, for as the bridegroom rejoices in
his bride, so will your God and All
rejoice in you; Boundless Goodness will
be your kin from now on;”
.... and you, My Vassula, I tell you: at
the favourable time I will send you to
them and you will show yourself; I
discharge you now, My delight, so that
you attend your other duties as well;
4
I wish I could have been like Mary
and not like Martha;
I am happy when I sit with You,
adorable One,
enjoying and feasting in Your Presence;
do not complain, Vassula, enjoy yourself
in Me; listen, will it console you were I to
tell you how in this ineffable Love I have
for you, I have you embedded as an
emerald in My royal crown? would it
console you, My Own, were I to tell you
that you are My wreath of perfumed
flowers that never wither since they
adorn My Head, and that you are to Me
like a concert of sweet music in My Ears?
would it console you were I to tell you
that you have become My spiritual
throne and that My visitations to you are
like a scent of delicate perfumes given to
Me?
a generous heart is what the Lord
needs; there have been so many
moments in which My Eyes were turned
on you alone and for you alone; ah,
Vassula!

Housework of course ....
