great opposition all round you in Syros,
have I abandoned you?
1
this made you
the great example of My Power to the
rest of the Cyclades; which creature
could impose itself on My Holiness and
on My Power?
I, Myself, have suffered by My Own
countrymen,
2
so why are you surprised
when you, who come from Me, suffer the
same treatment? bear patiently as I bore
patiently;
beloved, flesh of My Flesh, bone of My
Bone, can you not see all the
consolations I am giving you? My visit to
you is not a day’s visit; My visit to you is
eternal;
3
in case you have forgotten, look
again at your path My Father laid out for
you: He laid out sapphire upon sapphire
so that your feet walk on virtues only;
stand firm and do not falter; no man will
be able to demolish My fortress;
4
I am
living in this fortress and no man will be
able to destroy My dwelling place; you
have My word .... I will advance and you
will follow; where the Spirit is, there is
freedom and power;
today, the world has no eyes for
heavenly things, this is why there is so
much mistrust among the nations and
no more freedom; the world believes in
what it sees but these things last only for
a time; go, My Vassula, and tell this
decaying world all about those things
that are invisible but eternal; radiate my
Glory, the light has to be placed on the

Syros is one island of Greece belonging to the
Cyclades. I had been invited there and our Lord had
opened us a wide door on the TV channel which
broadcasts its program on the other twelve islands.
But the Metropolitan was given orders to diffuse a
pamphlet against me. Still the program went ahead
with me and people liked it so much that they had to
show it several times. People bought the books too.
2
In records, I am inscribed that my family, from my
father’s side, comes from Syros.
3
I had been pitying myself, for Jesus was not visiting
me so often, and here was my Liturgy trying to
console me with such a tender Voice, that He
sounded like an unending Beatitude.

This sentence was pronounced like a command and
with great authority. “Fortress” was meant for me.
roof-tops, such an overwhelming light
comes only from Me; My Words given to
you are a lamp for lighting a way
through the dark; shine in this darkness
you who carry My Word;
My brightness never fades; it is right
to say that God is Fire, or when you say
this is the Fire of the Holy Spirit; for you
can compare it to a physical fire, which
enflames everything and goes through
every opening; whatever it touches it
sets aflame; the Fire of God is a Fire of
Love and you, My Vassula, have not
been spared from it; see, how it
consumes you? why, which creature, if
not consumed by Love, would write
prayers in religious poetry to Us?
the Holy Spirit, after branding you
with His fiery baptismal kiss, setting you
aflame, penetrated your intelligence,
crystallising your soul by His Divine
Fire, as the rock is turned into a
diamond, which is of pure carbon in
crystallised form, from extreme heat; in
this way too the Fire of the Holy Spirit
purifies souls to become crystal clear
and as pure as diamonds; this action of
the Holy Spirit does not go without
suffering, the one seized by those
enamorous flames, suffers as he is
kindled by fire, but by love too; as the
Fire seized you, through and through,
tossing you about, transforming you
from rock to diamond, the Holy Spirit in
His enamoured action prepares you to
see God; have you not read: “happy the
pure in heart, they shall see God”? once
you see God, as Scripture says, your soul
will cry out:
“my Joy! how right it is to love You!”
and immediately you will seize Us to
possess Us .... and I will descend from
the clouds to lift you and carry you on
My Wings to soar the skies; and as a
tour-guide, I will tell you the history of
the things that are invisible to the eye
