True Life in God
Notebook 97
with Me and the Holy Spirit, immersing
it into the eternal joys of heaven, and
into Our delights;
now I am telling you, everything
where you are
1
passes away like a
shadow, but My Words will never pass
away;
2
“I shall augment your zeal for My
House and the fire I shall put within you
shall disarm the great; let this Source
within you never run dry; may you
continue eagerly and with avidity to
defend the Truth and My Church which I
bought with My Own Blood; let the
scourge of your persecutors never
discourage you or wear you out, but let
this vile act done to you make you
stronger instead, by inhaling from My
Mouth the graces you need to keep your
soul tranquil and in peace;”
ah, generation, greater profit than this
Book

for your so miserable times you
could not have received; greater gift for
My Church for its renewal She could not
have received, but once more My Church
is failing Me, for She has not understood
My intentions ....
come, Vassula, the Anointed One will
provide you shelter in His Sacred Heart;
love Me equally as I love you; come, My
Own, and perfume My Heart; I promise
you that one day I will take you to see
the sweet fruits of your labours and you
will rejoice ....
now come to Me and recite your
prayers, I am always moved by your
prayers; come and inebriate Me with
your prayers;
1
That means on earth.

Here our Lord started to say the following words as
one who utters an oath, in solemnity but at the same
time as a command.

Jesus means the “True Life in God” volumes.
I am now speechless Lord;
for what do You always find
in this worthless and useless heart of mine
to pour in it divine words
sweeter than the honey-comb?
I esteem an innocent soul, no matter
how wretched she could be, more than
sceptres and thrones; have you not said
the other day that you felt like a mother
towards Me? a mother who would do
anything to protect her child from being
constantly hurt, ridiculed and abused by
the world? your love for Me touched Me,
it has exceeded your misery ....
My Celestial Liturgy,
it is You, the Godhead
who encompasses all beings,
who clothed me with royal vestments
to be able to walk
in and out of Your Courts;
You anointed me
so as to converse with You face to face
stirring my heart with Your noble theme;
You fed me with Goodness and Sweetness
and offered me a royal banquet
so that everything be distributed
for all the nations
with largesse and with royal prodigality;
Was it not You
that in Your divine munificence
poured into me the flow of Divine Love,
resurrecting me?
God of all Goodness,
Sweet Spirit of Grace,
Most Loving Lover of Mankind,
who knew and knows
all my defects, deficiencies and vileness,
how in spite of
all these “morbid worms”
You still are gracious to me
and approach me;
