True Life in God
Notebook 96
In Your exuberant love,
Lord of Mercy,
in Your divine tenderness,
come to my side;
Your branded slave is at Your service.
you have been honoured to be branded,
marking you as My belonging, as My
possession .... These marks are noble
and priceless and I reveal them to those
to whom I wish to reveal them, even
though they are not seen by the exterior
eye, they are seen, by grace, with the eye
of the soul;
1
I, Myself, came into the world to serve
and not to be served; I had, although My
state was Divine, emptied Myself to
assume the condition of a slave; since
My Father gave Me to all of you as a gift
for your redemption with My entire Will
too,
2
I, in My turn, in your days, call for
My purpose, My Chosen ones and lift
them for My Salvific Plan, turning them
into copies of Myself;
chosen long before their creation with
the intention to become the true image
of Myself and co-operators of My Love
Plan, I honour them to be branded with
the same marks I Myself had been
branded with to make them fully Mine
and to show the world that they are truly
Mine and that they are My seed .... so
when these are exposed to persecution,
spittle, and are threatened, when they
are misunderstood, calumniated and
attacked, know that they come from Me
and that they are the bone of My bone,
the flesh of My flesh;
branded with all these noble signs that
I received for your redemption, these
noble souls too, for your sake, impious
1
As our Lord says that only by grace a soul is
favoured to be able to perceive with the ‘eye of the
soul’ things that are not exterior and visible by the
normal eye; even the marks of His Passion, branding
a soul (interior marks), can be given to a soul who
would feel them, thus becoming a copy of the
Supreme Victim.

Jesus’ Will was the same as His Father’s Will.
generation, are being tread upon,
massacred daily and brought to
judgment even by the dignitaries of My
Church! just as sheep brought for the
slaughter, they too are led by the false
accusations of those who contribute to
this day, the slaughter of My saints and
My prophets of all times, and how
ingeniously they get round My words
3
in
order to justify their incredulity!
their
4
conduct does not please Me
because they become the enemies of the
whole human race, since they are
hindering My Chosen ones from
pronouncing My Will to My people and
from reconstructing My House; thus,
these oppressors, are reaching all the
time the full extent of their iniquity;
as I have said, My Vassula, I am giving
you to all the nations as My gift, that is:
for their own benefit, to echo My Words
and to serve the Church; I intended you
from all eternity to become a true image
of Myself, sharing My sufferings so that
one day you will share My Glory; in the
Light of My Cross model yourself with
My Mind; working for the Light that is
the same as to work for the exaltation of
My Cross;
I have, My beloved one, given you a
spirit of perseverance to keep up with
My pace; the night is almost over and it
will be daylight soon – so courage,
daughter, courage .... in your union with
My Cross you have done all these things
in My Name, that is, you have witnessed,
in My Name, My Messages to the utmost
of your capacity; this has been done to
fulfil the text: “those who have never
heard or seen Me will hear Me and see
Me and those that never understood Me
will understand Me by the grace of My
Holy Spirit;”
3
Jesus means that these people do not use the words
of counsel of Jesus: “You will know them by their
fruits”.
