preventing the people from sinning
and silencing the mutters
of those who oppose You.
have I ever deprived a soul from My
Love and Mercy?
Never...
when I am living inside a city, can that
city

fall? have you not read: “there is a
River

whose streams refresh the city of
God and it sanctifies the dwelling of the
Most High;” I am God;
O Spring of our soul
how can I express the way
You have reached us in our misery?
Here you are, offering us
Your Love and Mercy;
like golden pillars on a silver base,
You steady our legs;
You transfigure our faces
with one glance of Your Eyes,
making them appear like the Lamp
shining on the sacred Lamp-stand;
Yes, indeed, only the River of Life
whose streams refresh the city of God,
sanctifies it for Him;
the Scriptures say,
in fact they are Your Own Words,
Lover of mankind,
that if anyone loves You,
he will keep Your Word
and that Your Father will love him
and that both of You will come to him
and make Your abode with him.

Resting Place; so My Vassula, be

beloved, that I have the power to

“peaks of pride, have you the right to
look down on a mountain

where God
has chosen to live, where Yahweh is
going to live for ever?”

My Holy Spirit has uttered sayings in
your ear sweeter than honey, even than
honey that drips from the comb, raising
you and others from the dead, see?
salvation comes from Me;
be, My beloved, an example to the
others and love My Spirit for He will give
you one day the wages of your labours
and .... do not fear those who believe
they have the power to subjugate all
things, because I am with you and on
your side;
My Vassula, again I am asking you to
be like a lily in My Garden

to perfume
Me; fragrance Me, My chosen one, I sigh
for your love, for your abandonment, for
your dispassion;
O you, in whom alone I have
entrusted this treasure coming from My
Heart!

remain in My embrace now,
perfuming Me in your nothingness and I
in My turn will be perfuming you to be
My heaven!

I heard our Lord say these words aloud and with
passion; they came out like a sigh.
