Lord, let me read out to You what St. John
Chrysostom wrote. In fact they are Your
words, Your words to us through him;
this is what You said:
“I, your father, I, your spouse,
I, your home, I, your nurse,
I, your root, I, your foundation.
Whatever you want, I will be.
You lack nothing. I will work for you.
For I came to serve
and not to be served.
I will be your friend and your host,
your head and your brother,
your sister and your mother.
I will be everything.
Only be intimate with me!
I will be poor for you, errant for you,
on the Cross for you,
in the tomb for you.
Above I plead with the Father
for your sake,
on earth I became intercessor
to the Father for your sake.
You are everything for Me,
brother, co-heir, friend and member.
What more do you want?”
I have yielded so many times My Royal
Sceptre to reach all of you and so many
times I have come over to you to
perfume your heads; with royal
prodigality I have courted you,
addressing you in poetry; religion and
virtue were My sweet converse with you
all the days of your life;
during all these years
1
I was reposing
My Head on you, I had been taking My
delight in you; My Heart has said of you:
“turn her into a living altar for Your

Mystical Body,

let her learn to repulse
all that does not come from You, keep
her hidden in Us so that she becomes an
exultant sacrifice ready to be sold to the
world and serve with gladness;” I had in
My tender affection and My ineffable
Love given you Wisdom to instruct you
so that I, through you, would accomplish
My designs on My Church;
see, My beloved, with what intent
eagerness I descended upon your frailty
to turn you and through you others to
become the sturdy pillars of My Church?
and I, with all My Heart bless you and all
those who became columns of divine fire
to transmit My words in these urgent
Messages and who voluntarily with love
used all that they could, with unsparing
love and fervour to propagate the Truth
and christianise this dechristianised
population; I am with you and I promise
you that I will repay you and the others a
hundredfold;
see how I raise ambassadors of peace
and see how I rush over to rescue My
House? see My Vassula, My Eyes are too
pure to rest on rebellion; the splendour
of My Work (for My Work it is) is to
draw all souls in My Sacred Heart; were
I not to hurry, raising with My Sceptre
disciples, the fig tree will not blossom;
nor will there be any fruit left on the
vine, and My sheep will continue to
scatter until there will be none left in the
fold; Goodness and Mercy could not
bear to see so many souls heading for the
eternal fires;
ceaselessly and untiringly, with My
Heart in My Hand, I will continue to
look at the window of each heart to
awaken it and bring it into the ardent
Love of My Divinity;
then I will place all the virtues needed
with a stream of unparalleled and
sanctified graces on its altar to draw it
into a complete union with the Father,

The Church.
