Notebook 110 True Life in God 5 __________________________________________________________________________________ yes, supreme in power, in equity, excelling in justice, yet no oppressor; the Holy Spirit can lead each one of these renegades into being from nonbeing; He can restore them through the sacrifices and acts of reparation of others and prayers offered by My holy ones; you see, My Vassula, man's compassion is limited and does not extend as Mine; but My compassion extends to everything that lives; I rebuke, correct and I teach, bringing them back gently into the fold; as for what relieves the heat in arguments, is it a gentle word? yes, a word uttered with love can alter a whole situation; it can stop a war; it can melt ice and calm down a storm; it can extinguish a fire; Scriptures say: "you have to be gentle when you correct people who dispute what you say; never forget that God may give them a change of mind so that they recognize the truth and come to their senses, once out of the trap where the devil caught them and kept them enslaved..."1 therefore, a good word is worth more than a piece of gold I think, I believe, You set a Guardian by our side to check on us and express our plea in a way that can never be put into words; yes, it is written that I have given you the pledge of the Holy Spirit; He comes to help everyone in his weakness, reminding man where his duty lies and being man's Advocate, 1 2 Tm. 2: 25-26. He would plead to Me, the Father, saying: "release him from descent into the pit, for I have found a ransom2 for his life;" and thus spared, spared from sliding into the eternal fires, I3 allow his life to be spent into the Light;4 then, he will praise Me and give glory to Me… to those who repent I permit return… I cherish man's generosity like the pupil of My Eyes... as for answering You the other questions, Father, I do not know; I do not know how You control all things, and I will never know... I do not know either what has man inside him unless You give me an insight by grace; nor do I claim to know how You know; You are an Awesome Mystery, awe-inspiring, Author of this Love Hymn, author of revelations, Author of saving acts throughout the earth; I call, in my wretchedness, to the people of the earth, to lift their eyes to You; to all who love Your saving power give constant cause to say, 'God is Great!' for myself, wounded from Your Love, I remain Your auxiliary slave, at Your disposal, always hoping, always longing, for a renewal given by Your Holy Spirit upon all mankind ... 2 From a victim soul, or: from the sacrifices, penance and prayers generous souls are offering to God for the conversion of sinners... 3 God the Father. 4 The Holy Spirit.
