TRUE LIFE IN GODAugust 2015 · ISSUE 29 · ISSN 1663 9358

A short time ago I took part in a symposium (a discussion and prayer meeting) regarding healing in the Catholic Church. Different aspects of healing were considered; healing of marriages, healing in prisons (prison visiting), healing of bereaved parents of children who had been killed (as well as other forms of bereavement healing), healing under the heading of exorcism and deliverance, healing of abuse victims, healing of children, and healing within the Church community. At the heart of our discussion was Pope Francis’ description of the Church as a “field hospital” and the shared conviction that healing accompanies evangelisation.

I took the opportunity to remind everyone that unity is essential for healing. The Church cannot be a truly healing community until it is ONE. The work of evangelisation has several aims. The first is the salvation of souls, that is, helping people to open themselves to the saving power of the Gospel and the grace of conversion. The second, related to the first, is the unity of Christians. The third, present in everything we do as servants of God, is the exaltation of the Blessed Trinity. Everything we do is for the glory of God and the salvation of souls, and we evangelise in the power of the Holy Spirit without whom we can do nothing.

I would also like to mention the Mother of Christ whom Blessed Pope Paul V1 called, “The Star of Evangelisation”. She is the Mediatrix of All graces and is constantly interceding for all of us. We must never forget to invoke her prayers as we try to bring the message of joy, peace, liberation and healing to those around us.

“O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee”

About the Messages ofTrue Life in GodVassula was born in Egypt of Greek parents on 18 January 1942. She is married and has two grown-up boys. Although baptised into the Greek Orthodox Church she rarely thought of God until 1985 when she began to receive Divine Messages. These have been named, by Jesus Himself, True Life in God. They have now been translated into over 40 languages and all the work has been done

by volunteers; Vassula receives no royalties for any books published.

In these Prophetic Messages (some of the prophecies have already been fulfilled) God is calling the whole of His creation to return to Love while asking Christians to unify His Body, His Church (“Orthodox! Catholics! Protestants! You all belong to Me! You are all One in My Eyes!”). Vassula’s mission is to go out and proclaim the Truth. She has now visited over 70 countries and has spoken in over 900 meetings, some with audiences as large as 100,000 people.

True Life in God Messages are profoundly spiritual and are written in a clear and direct language. We are invited to enter into conversation with God substituting Vassula’s name in these texts for our own. Once having done that we are gently led into the mysteries of the Triune God and begin to grow in the Knowledge of God. Through the bounty of the Holy Spirit acting in us (Second Pentecost) we then begin to grow in God’s Love, Peace and Unity. Jesus’ prayer to the Father (John 17;21) “may they be one in Us, as You are in Me and I am in You, so that the world may believe it was You who sent Me;” will then be accomplished. Jesus explains about this prayer on 10 December 2001: “My words intonated were meant that the whole of creation must be affected into a spiritual unity not a unity by a signed treaty; to fulfil My Words the churches must seek first humility and love, graces that can be obtained through the Holy Spirit and through a great repentance;”

In the latest Messages published under the title of Odes of the Holy Trinity, the Holy Trinity summarize the purpose of these Divine Messages: to rediscover the revealed Truth and to enter into the spiritual espousal with God, the wedding feast of Apocalypse Chapter 21. In that union of creature with God, God’s Will will be done on earth as it is in Heaven, for we will find true Life, the life in God and with God.

T L I G M A G A Z I N E I S S U E - 2 9 3

On April 3, 1997 the Lord says: “remain devout to Me, prayerful, and effaced so that I am seen wherever you go; in this way we could advance, you, with My cross in one hand and in the other one, My Word, which will be your lamp, while I, your King, will be walking majestically by your side and victorious, gloriously accumulating My triumphs in your faithfulness, while My glorious sceptre in My Hand will keep directing your steps where they should tread and where I wish you to go in My Name;”. This beautifully sums up not only Vassula’s evangelisation efforts, but also our own if we progress, like Vassula, towards union with God.Early morning prayer can be accompanied by request to the Lord to use usHoliness that we strive towards should also therefore mean, ever deeper openness to the Lord’s signs for us to be His instrument in reaching out for souls. It is however, equally important that in whatever state of union with God we are in, we should keep asking the Holy Spirit to help us in spreading the Word of the Lord; the Truth that sets souls free. An early morning simple prayer, such as giving our will to God can be accompanied with a request that we be used in some way each day to help spread His Kingdom on earth, to do something for the Lord.Make clear the distinction between worldly peace and the Peace of the LordAnd what treasure we have in the Messages of True Life in God. A little earlier to the above Message, the Lord said: “let even the mountains and hills bow low in hearing My Canticle of peace given to My people; remind them that I will defend the poorest1; tell them that in your days virtue will begin to flourish, and a universal peace will soon cover My creation for My empire shall stretch from sea to sea; and the Beast will cower before My Presence and your enemies who are My enemies will grovel in the dust, the Amen is on His way to purify with devouring flame every race because I hate the practices of the apostates; the heavens are at work now,” (TLIG February 18, 1997).

Evangelise with love for LoveYou Have an Inestimable Pearl in Your HandsWe no longer mix worldly peace which is opposite to war, with the peace the Lord speaks in the Messages. The peace that comes to us from God is His Presence, He Himself is giving us this sign of His Presence so that we begin to reject everything that disturbs our closeness to God. And here is our first evangelisation tool! We can ask whoever God puts in our path: “Do you feel God’s Peace?” or say: “Isn’t it wonderful how we come out into the world filled with God’s Presence, His Peace?” (This can be said coming out from the church after a Holy Mass?) The rest of the conversation, I am sure, will be according to what the Holy Spirit will prompt you to say.Religion and Faith – not the same thing – don’t forget the Holy Spirit!We have just had our parish Lenten retreat. The priest who gave it was very good indeed. For the first time outside of the TLIG context I have heard the Truth given to us, almost as the Lord does it in the Messages. I say ‘almost’ because it was not exactly the same, but the priest who has been studying the New Testament for many years has not been influenced by rationalistic approach. His first talk was about the difference between religion and faith. The word, “religion” he said, has its origin in beliefs and rules, and man agrees to being bound by them. Therefore, man can form his own religion. Whereas faith is that which comes as a gift to us from God. We cannot create it, or put it together ourselves. This gave me an instant understanding that we can then introduce the prime mover behind faith: the Holy Spirit.

It is a great shame that so little time is devoted to the Holy Spirit, and our Lenten retreat priest hardly mentioned Him either, but we know that the gift of faith comes through the Holy Spirit. This again gave me an idea for evangelisation! Using the description of religion as opposed to faith, it could be an opening for us to start talking about the wonderful work the Lord is doing in our times through the True Life in God Messages, the Messages that imbue us with deep faith, with an intimate, personal relationship with the Most Holy Trinity, the Holy Spirit who leads us into sacramental life, filled with frequent confessions and a desire for daily Holy Communion (if at all possible). And then there are spectacular conversions of some as well as imparting of wonderful faith towards all those who

4 T R U E L I F E I N G O D

are willing to follow the Lord’s school of True Life in God. And PLEASE, do not forget the unique Canticle of the Holy Spirit who spoke to us in 1998, the year which St John Paul II declared as the year dedicated to the Holy Spirit!The fruits and prophecies fulfilled should be shown – they confirm the divine origin of the MessagesThese fruits of conversions and physical healing are important for they confirm the divine origin of the Messages, but there is another important aspect of the Messages which needs to be shown to others: prophecies fulfilled. Here we should mention the collapse of the New York Towers on 9.11.2001 and the fact that the Lord describes it exactly 10 years earlier on 9.11.1991. The devil cannot predict the future with such precision, although his intelligence is spectacular, he can only speculate, but he does not know the future. Then there is the tsunami which Vassula saw in a vision, or the liberation of Russia from the Communist regime which the Lord described as the “transfiguration” (“I shall, with My Finger upon you, transfigure you into a glorious nation as I was transfigured;” November 13, 1989). This transformation happened on the Orthodox feast of Transfiguration on 19 August 19, 1991. The best depiction of these fulfilled prophecies can be found on the TLIG DVD, Prophecies and Warnings.The spectacular role of the TLIG Messages in our timesBut what is particularly missing, if I may be so bold as to point out, is the clear understanding and realisation of the most important ROLE of the Messages in our, so evil times. The Lord spells out that unless we unite, unless the world (and the Church here has a special role) responds to the Lord’s callings, the evil that is spreading and growing in strength will cause ever more disasters and catastrophes, and as Vassula keeps mentioning, the chastisement cannot be stopped any more, although we can diminish its scale. At the same time, the Messages announce the New Heaven and the New Earth. The spiritual renewal of all God’s people so that they become the New Heaven and the New Earth for the Lord and which is being cultivated by the Holy Spirit.It is the time of the marriage feast – the sanctification of God’s people so that God’s Will can be done on earth as it is done in Heaven!A TLIG friend has told me the other day, that she keeps being confronted with the recurring accusation against the TLIG, that it is an “apocalyptic message”. YES, it is but what a wonderful Message, the Message that has already borne its fruits with many people around the globe living in a divinised relationship with the Triune God! Those who speak in a negative way about the “apocalyptic message” DO NOT KNOW what they are saying! They should be rejoicing that the Lord is finally coming to sanctify His Church and bring it back to what it was right at the beginning. The false interpretations put on the Lord’s Coming abound, while we are not perhaps making it clear that it is a joyous NEWS! It is not doom and gloom, it is the ever growing strength of the Holy Spirit, the Promise that is sanctifying God’s Church on earth. It is the time of the marriage feast! The sanctification of God’s people so that God’s Will can be done on earth as it is done in Heaven!

We are living in the times of Revelation, Chapter 21:1-4: “I saw the holy city, and the new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of

heaven, as beautiful as a bride all dressed for her husband … ‘You see this city? Here God lives among men. He will make His home among them, they shall be His people, and He will be their God; His name is God-with-them.” God is bringing from Heaven unto earth His spiritual Manna, the Holy Spirit and through the spiritual school of the Messages is transforming us into His people! We are His city where He can dwell and make all things new! Do not be reticent then, but proclaim boldly what the Lord is doing in our times! Stand against the spirit of lethargy and shout aloud the Good News!I quote below Sr. Seraphim’s words that spell out the role and the importance of the TLIG Messages:

“The True Life in God Messages have a sub-title: The Love Hymn of the Father. This fulfils a rabbinic prophecy. It is said, in the writings of the rabbis, that Ten Songs will be sung on this earth. Nine of them already exist in the Holy Scriptures and among these the Song of Songs is regarded as the greatest and as the Holy of Holies...The Song of Songs sang of the betrothal of Israel to her Divine Betrothed. The betrothal was regarded in Israelite culture as we would regard an engagement. However, it was solemnly binding and it guaranteed that a Marriage would follow in time with its full feast and consummation on the seventh day. This seventh day was called in Greek the Apokalupsis and occurred within a special inner chamber in the bridal tent. Solomon’s Song of Songs was only the Ninth Song and yet another was to come - The Wedding song. The Ninth Song was received outside the inner chamber of the Temple; the next Song would be within the inner chamber of the Temple - the Holy of Holies.

The Tenth Song, the rabbis teach, is to be realised and sung only when the Messiah comes. Or, as Christians would say, only when the Messiah Jesus is recognised. Although not directly related verbally it nevertheless remains true that throughout the time of the giving of the Love Hymn to our world, Jewish recognition of Jesus as Messiah and Son of God has increased worldwide. The rabbinic prophecy is fulfilled - the great Tenth Song is being sung by God to His people and all humanity. Moreover, it is the song of the Bridegroom as He prepares to take us into the inner chambers of Divine Love and unite us to Himself. As the fire of the Holy Spirit fell on both the holocaust and Solomon, and he sang the Song of Songs, so will the Fire of the Holy Spirit fall into our hearts to purify them by the Second Pentecost...

True Life in God Messages are not composed of ordinary words but of the words of the Divine Poet of Poets: He who is the Source of Poetic Beauty. These Messages are the Love Hymn of our God sung to echo and resound around the earth, and to find its most beauteous expression in the soul of responsive man. Jesus, our Heavenly Troubadour sings beneath the windows of our hearts begging us to open to Him and let Him in through the aperture of our will that He may both possess us and (let) allow us to draw from Him the Divine Life of the Holy Spirit which will send our hearts soaring with rapid flight into the Heart of the Father. No Divine Lover pleads so eloquently as this

Evangelise with love for Love (continued)


Troubadour of Troubadours. No pain of longing in us can capture that pain of longing for us which we find in the Heart of Christ. Hence it is that when He captivates a soul and divinises it, that soul begins to long for that which He longs - the Redemption and sanctification of man.

When Christ raises the soul to Mystical Marriage2, the person is unable to long for anything except that which leads others to Christ: prayer, intercession, victim-hood, and evangelisation. Each or all of these aspects will be present according to degree and vocation. But one thing is sure: in the midst of all these aspects and various vocations in life one desire will dominate all the others, and subject all to itself, that is, the desire to know only the Will of God and to do It on earth as It is in Heaven. “

The above quote is long, but I hope will find the reader’s approval in that it shows us clearly the immense treasure the Messages

represent as well as point to the fact that we, who have been honoured with the invitation to the Lord’s feast (TLIG Messages) are also required to respond with all our strength and all our faculties. Bringing a soul to God is the greatest service we can render God, so let us keep working to this end while we rely on the graces and gifts of the Holy Spirit to make this possible.Ewa Allan______________________________1. Poor in Spirit

2. This is a Catholic term which describes the mystical union of a soul on earth with God. Saints declared by the Catholic church are presented to the faithful as worthy of emulation. This is done following the Church’s investigation into their lives followed by an official proclamation of sainthood. The criteria for that is twofold: had they entered into a state of union with God and is there an approval from Heaven (posthumously ) by confirmed miraculous physical healings obtained through the intercession of the saints?

Rebuilding the ChurchA short study on the similarities between the Prophetic Proclamation in TLIG

and the book of Zechariah.

When the Lord decided to rebuild Jerusalem and the Temple, He raised a prophet (in our study here we are focusing on the prophet Zechariah).

It has always been God’s way in addressing men. God would choose someone to whom the gift of prophecy would be granted in order to Proclaim God’s words to the people.

In our days, to rebuild the Church by uniting it in our hearts, God has chosen to give us the True Life in God messages again through raising a prophet: Vassula Ryden.

The book of Zechariah which deals with the rebuilding of the temple and the return of the exiles from Babylon to Jerusalem starts with this:

Return to me, says the LORD of hosts, and I will return to you, says the LORD of hosts. (Zechariah 1:3)

In True Life in God, the Lord used the same sentence (in bold above) twice- on October 5, 1988 and January 28, 1995.

As early as March 18, 1987 Yahweh says in TLIG: “My wish is that all My children return to Me;” And on April 13, 1994 again Yahweh says: “from the time this Message went out I never stopped calling you to return to Me and change your lives;”

The Lord even provided more explanation on this through many sentences in the messages linking our return to Him with receiving forgiveness, purification, healing, renewal, life and deliverance.

So just like Yesterday, in the times of Zechariah, even Today, in order to rebuild his divided Church, the Lord is calling us again to return to Him.

The other topic that is of interest is the Rebuilding of the Temple. We know that Zechariah is one of the prophets to whom the Lord has given prophecies about building a new Temple. We also know that at the time of Zechariah the Temple was in ruins as it was Jerusalem. Also today, in its divided state, the Church lies in ruins and needs to be rebuilt.

Evangelise with love for Love (continued)


The following messages from TLIG remind us of that:

“My Church, I shall rebuild;” July 9, 1989

“Rebuild these ancient ruins, rebuild My old foundation” December 22, 1987

Although today’s rebuilding of the Church is to rebuild unity and obedience of Faith in the heart and not really a material edifice, we still find similar prophetic sentences. This brings to mind that TLIG is really a reminder of the Word of God applied first to our generation and will be kept for future generations to learn from.

One interesting similarity about the rebuilding of the Temple is found in Zechariah 6:15 ; And they who are from afar shall come and build the temple of the LORD.

And in TLIG we find: those who are far away will come and repent; they will rebuild My church; September 9, 1992

We know that in today’s message the Lord means the sinners by “those who are far away” and even if in Zechariah he meant really those who lived far away (distance wise), this similarity shows us how the physical meanings of the Old Testament can be understood spiritually. These are the hidden secrets of the Bible.

On the other hand to emphasize the closeness of God to His people concerning the nations that plundered them, we find this verse in Zechariah 2:12 whoever touches you touches the apple of my eye

In TLIG and again it’s Yahweh speaking to Vassula concerning those who harass her: learn that whoever touches you, touches the apple of My Eye! April 8, 1993.

Probably the biggest similarity that the Lord explains in TLIG is in chapter 4 of Zechariah and it’s about the Two Olive Trees. The Lord explains this in the messages of

December 12, 1991 and March 3, 1992. The Two Olive Trees being His Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

On June 30, 1993 we find another mention of the book of Zechariah in TLIG. Jesus says about his unfaithful shepherds: “trouble is

coming to the worthless shepherd who deserts the flock!” similar to Zechariah 11:17 Woe to my foolish shepherd who forsakes the flock!

Chapter 3 of Zechariah starts with Satan accusing Joshua. On Sept 30, 1993 we read in TLIG: “the devil has already put in the mind of your accusers to slander you,”

There are other similarities in this Book and the other books of the bible, it comes to my mind this passage from Ezekiel 3:17-19 Thus the word of the LORD came to me: Son of man, I have appointed you a watchman for the house of Israel. When you hear a word from my mouth, you shall warn them for me. If I say to the wicked man, You shall surely die; and you do not warn him or speak out to dissuade him from his wicked conduct so that he may live: that wicked man shall die for his sin, but I will hold you responsible for his death. If, on the other hand, you have warned the wicked man, yet he has not turned away from his evil nor from his wicked conduct, then he shall die for his sin, but you shall save your life.

In TLIG Jesus says the same thing to Vassula: “I have not, My Vassula, appointed you only as My just herald but as My sentry as well over the House of the West; when you hear a word of My Mouth given to you, you are, bound to your vows of fidelity with Me, obliged to pass on to those I am sending you, My word of warning; if you would refuse to pass on My word to them, I would hold you responsible; if, however, you pass on My word to them and they do not repent, they will die for their sin, but you yourself will go by unscathed and you shall not be held responsible nor will you die; I have not only appointed you as an intercessor to the House of the East but to the House of the West, too;” March 8, 2000

Finally, a prophetic message is to be Proclaimed (Zechariah 1: 17) similarly the message of TLIG was given to Vassula to “proclaim It to all Nations;” December 7, 1988.

Do you remember the words of our Lady when she woke me up at 3.10 am until 4.00 am to speak to me on the 7th January 2008? Let me just write it again:

That we are very near the events that have been foretold that are facing humanity and that they are outside our door; events that are drawn by the world’s wickedness, selfishness, lack of love; events that result from the world’s rejection of God’s Word; their spite, hypocrisy and godlessness;

In this paragraph we see clearly now with the situation the world is going through: the financial crisis that continues to augment, people suffering without jobs, poverty has climbed to an alarming point, migration with people drowning, suicide rates augmenting because of having lost their jobs, and businesses. Industries and businesses shutting down etc...

the earth is in danger and will suffer with fire; God’s wrath cannot be sustained any longer and it will fall on them because man refuses to break with sin; that God’s Mercy all of these years was to draw as many souls as possible to Him, extending His Arm to save them, but few only understood and listened; that His time of Mercy will not hold much longer and the time is coming where everybody will be tested and the earth will spew out from within it rivers of fire, and the people of the world will understand their worthlessness and their helplessness without having had God in their hearts;

Indeed how true, many people feel that their lives on earth have deteriorated, they are very unhappy as though God’s Mercy has abandoned them, Our Lady says that everybody will be tested. Many people feel helpless as our Lady puts it ‘they will understand their worthlessness and helplessness’.

God is firm and true to His Word; the time has come where the Household of God will be tested and those who refused His Mercy will taste God’s Fire; (I asked here about the people of the Church who persecute us and are blind to His Works of Mercy;) our Blessed Mother answered that these too will undergo what they deserve;

In this passage above, the Household of God will be tested is what we see today clearly in all levels. The Household of God is us, Christians are persecuted, beheaded and killed, the enemies are attacking churches, killing the faithful and burning the church. More than a dozen coptic churches were burnt in Egypt. This Pope too, is being persecuted by some of his own, who slander him. The Church is in confusion and disagreeing.

Our Blessed Mother continued to speak about sacrifice;

She asked me to remind everyone that God our Creator asks us to commit ourselves more to Him and that to be converted is not enough without sacrifice and steady prayers; that if one says they are converted and have found God through ‘True Life in God’ they should offer more sacrifice as an act of immolation;

Have we taken our Lady’s words seriously? Have we really made an extra effort for acts of immolation?

there are various ways of showing God their love and generosity; that no one can say: “we are ‘True Life in God’ people” without offering sacrificial love; that those who truly love God are blessed and should not fear in those days;

Have we offered since then ‘sacrificial love?’

Our Blessed Mother said that those who persevere through hardships are blessed; that She is pleased with all the priests (the clergy) who share and promote those Works of God and should remain confident because they received special graces from the Spirit of God and that through the Spirit they grew stronger in the Lord and to His plans of salvation; that Christ grants His Peace; if anyone serves and immolates himself as an offering, the judgment that is to come by fire will not be so severe upon them, for in their spirit they will be enjoying the call of God that brought them to life;

many have fallen away but many will be raised; many have failed to keep the Word of God secured in their hearts and transgressed the Word given to them not only through the Messages of ‘True Life in God,’ but through the Word given to them in the Scriptures as well;

Are we constant and steady?

It is not just this message from Our Lady that warned us, but also from Jesus saying that the Church soon will go into tribulations. We are the Church, the Christians, so this ‘fire’ is the result of the rejection of God’s Mercy, not recognized by many, and many more from His Own. God and our Blessed Mother, have stepped down from Heaven to reach us all out of their Infinite Love, but many have not understood nor recognized Him. They have not understood that God is renewing his creation. They are the new heavens and the new earth. (Ap. 21) for these are the times that God spoke of, that He will live among men. He will make His home among them, they shall be His people and He will be their God, His name is: ‘God-with-them’ – The world of the past has gone. In the sense that there are intensity of manifestations and God speaking to us through these charisms - for He said: ‘Now I am making the whole of My creation new.’ Indeed, there has never been in history before, at least we never heard of that our Lady is so constant and still speaking in Medjugorje for so many years, and that in True Life in God the Lord has spoken to all of have us and still is. There are others like Julia of Korea, Myrna of Souffanieh etc.

Of course we have to know as well that there are many more false messages going around the world, than the authentic ones, typical of the Confuser Satan. But these are those times that God in a special way, His presence is among us in this way.

then our Lady said: Vassula, whosoever judges you, they too will be judged severely by God; continue to look forward in receiving the Word of God in your ear and be happy, my child, your Mother will never abandon you;

(After that, our Blessed Mother reminded me of the vision I had when I saw my spiritual wedding with Christ when I was but a child then and how She had receive me joyfully just after with smiles to arrange my wedding gown by pulling here and there and fixing my hair to be in perfect shape and appearance for Her Son, Jesus Christ…) then She said:

speak fearlessly; do not fear those who oppose you; the Lord and I bless you and We grant you Our peace and love…In Christ,Vassula

The Prophecy Came True


October 29 – November 5, 2014“…Spread this flame and enliven even the stones into devoted followers of Mine; make no difference of colour or of creed, you are all made to My image and My sacrifice was made for the entire

Nations. Be one under My Holy Name.” TLIG, October 25, 1988

The Japanese TLIG group invited Vassula to deliver three speeches in three Japanese cities. Our long journey to Japan began on the morning of October 26, 2014. After changing many planes, we eventually arrived in the country of the “Rising Sun”. The entire Japan TLIG prayer group in Tokyo met us at the airport. Faces full of joy and enthusiasm welcomed Vassula to their country, after a long break. Our hotel was located at the centre of Tokyo, very close to the hall where Vassula was to speak. Visit to Beth Myriam in TokyoThe next day we visited the Beth Myriam in Tokyo. Hans, Bella and Satoru, our TLIG friends, took us to its food preparation area. It was a small room next to a parking lot. Outside this room, there

was a heavy-duty trolley. Vassula listened attentively to the women, as they showed her the dishes they had prepared for the poor.

Father Heinrich Jokiel was also there. Father Heinrich is a Jesuit priest, advanced in years, and as everyone has said, supports the TLIG Messages and Vassula 110%. He followed Vassula’s program throughout her stay in Japan, and travelled with her to the next two cities where she gave her testimony.

After the food had been prepared, we all took it to an adjacent local community space which was rented by the Beth Myriam coordinators. Ahead of us was Bella with an icon of Our Lady, followed by the people pushing the trolley and the rest of the happy

group. When we got there, the whole group was working like ants, arranging the tables, washing them and preparing everything for the meal.

Lunchtime was approaching and the people began to arrive. Approximately 80 people, in a very orderly manner, took their seats. The ladies were filling the plates while the rest served themselves the hot food and their favourite tea. Satoru got up and, after reciting a prayer, invited Vassula to speak to those present. Vassula said: “I am happy to see you all here. I have only seen you on video, but now I am also seeing you in person.” She spoke briefly about the 30 Beth Myriams all over the world and explained how they were established following a vision from Our Lady, where She asked for food to be offered to our needy fellow men, in addition to the spiritual nourishment. We shared the delicious food. Before they departed, they were also given an additional serving to take with them. Some of them had read the TLIG Messages and approached Vassula to have a photo taken with her, or to have their books signed.

As always, Vassula was happy to do so, asking them a few questions about their condition and their family. After the crowd left, everything was collected and the place was cleared quickly. The House of Mary in Tokyo is the fruit of the conversions through the TLIG Messages. They are the outcome of the seeds that fell and thrived and their fruit now feeds many. They are those who, after reading the Messages, try to experience them and put them into practice, giving joy to the Lord and making reparations to compensate for the evil committed

Today all over the world. It was now time for a cup of coffee… and the wish to spend some time all together. When asked how we could spread the Lord’s Message, Vassula replied that it is the power of God, the power of His Word in Itself that spreads it everywhere, and she mentioned as an example something that had

And she went on to say that those who do not believe are the ones who have not read the Messages. When reading the Messages, each soul recognizes the voice of his/her Creator…

At the hotel a little later, Vassula was visited by a woman

who was one of her younger son’s neighbours when he was studying in Japan. This lady had become ill and her daughter brought her in a wheelchair. She offered Vassula a traditional kimono as a gift. The meeting was a pleasure for both of them, as they had not met in a long time. Vassula anointed her with oil and blessed her with the Cross containing the holy wood of Jesus’ Cross.

At the Jesuit monastery the next day, Vassula met with Fr Heinrich Jokiel and Fr Ryuichiro Hanafusa, who along with Keiko, translates the TLIG Messages into Japanese.Witnessing in TokyoVassula’s speech was delivered at a university room, behind the St. Ignatius church. The room was filled to capacity with many people standing; there were about 450 people in all.

The meeting began with the Our Father in Aramaic, which had been handed out so that everyone could take part in reciting it. Vassula spoke about the early days of the Messages. She mentioned short stories of her experiences in which the Lord taught her and

in turn, teaches us with humor and kindness about intimacy, how we can remember His Presence, how sad He is when we abuse the freedom He has given us and how we distort our image which is His image. She stated that He is coming to wake us up from our lethargy and our laxity; that is why He is sending His Holy Spirit to everyone, even though we do not deserve it. Just as a flower cannot live without water, so the soul cannot live without the Holy Spirit. She then went on to read extracts from the TLIG messages. The ambiance in the room was deeply spiritual and the audience listened attentively, taking down notes. Many of those present were listening to Vassula speak about the TLIG Messages for the first time. They showed a great interest and purchased the TLIG books, making particularly heart felt comments.

Later on, Holy Mass was celebrated at the St. Ignatius church, where Father Heinrich, pointing to the TLIG book, said that even today God is sending his prophets

to the Earth and discussed the great need for repentance in today’s world. Koryiyama – Fukushima

The following day we set off for Koriyama, situated in Fukushima. In 2011, the region was badly hit by the well-known big e a r t h q u a k e and the

tsunami that followed, resulting in the disaster of the city’s nuclear plant. It is an area populated by 1,980,000 people, lying at the northeast part of the country. It is one of the first areas where Christianity was mentioned in the sixteenth century. Many became martyrs and they are known in the Church history of Japan as the martyrs of Aizoy. In this area, Belle and Tessie, who are readers of the TLIG Messages, began talking to the Philippino community about the TLIG Messages and Vassula’s mission. The fruit of their testimony was the establishment of three TLIG prayer groups.

Welcome in Fukushima


These prayer group members invited Vassula and organized a meeting for her. At the train station, the organizers and the members of the prayer groups welcomed Vassula with joyful faces and grateful to God in having His envoy visit their suffering city!

Before Vassula’s speech, Satoru and Keiko, through sweet melodies of the guitar and the violin, created an atmosphere

of joy and contemplat ion. About 150 people, from Japan and the Philippines, a t t e n d e d Vassula’s speech. Vassula thanked them for taking the time to listen to what the Lord was saying today. She talked about the de-

Christianized society, Satorou introduced Vassula and Keiko interpreted the speech as Vassula spoke

the urgent need for repentance, stressing the fact that the fruit of repentance is love. To love is to do God’s Will. At the end of the speech, there was a prayer for healing and deliverance. The priest and Vassula with her holy cross prayed for all of those present.

After this event, we said goodbye to TLIG friends and boarded the bullet train as it is called, which travels at 350 kilometers per hour. After a journey of approximately two hours, we were back in Tokyo.

YonagoThe following day, we departed from the Tokyo airport for Yonago, where Vassula’s final speech in Japan was to be delivered. At the airport, as always, the TLIG organizers had been waiting for us. Apart from the interpreter, Father Heinrich had remained with us for this trip.

Nancy, one of the TLIG readers, informed Vassula that a large part of the audience would be non-Christians. In addition, most of them knew nothing about Jesus. After we had settled into our room, we left for a scheduled meeting with some priests; this meeting was to

take place shortly before Vassula’s speech. Seven priests attended the meeting: Fr Jokiel, Fr Daniel, Fr Masakawa, Fr Johnson, Fr Nishie, Fr Goto and Reverend Ludo. Their joy about the meeting was clear. After they introduced themselves, they spoke about the way each of them had become acquainted with the TLIG Messages. Then there was a discussion between them and Vassula about the healing prayer that would follow her speech.

After this meeting, we were taken to the conference hall where everything was ready. About two hundred people had already gathered there. Satoru introduced Vassula and her mission, in both English and Japanese. A sign-language interpreter, brought in for a deaf-mute, also attended. A young lady sang a beautiful song, creating a spiritual atmosphere for what would follow.

Vassula discussed the many issues contained in the TLIG Messages. First of all, she mentioned the sweetness of the heavenly Father, His Mercy and His Tenderness. She said that small sin or big sin, all of them are sins in the Eyes of God. She stressed the fact that each one of our merciless acts, hardness of heart, hostility, and pride of calumny will count when we come before Him. At the end of her

speech, as in her previous testimonies, everyone rose and devoutly read the prayer of healing and deliverance that Jesus had given us. It was a particularly intense, spiritual moment, filled with devotion and respect, since most of those present heard about Jesus, perhaps for the first time in their lives. Following this healing prayer, there was a final prayer and a blessing for everyone present. A chorus of young women was singing hymns throughout the prayer session.

The following day, we had ahead of us a long and difficult journey back home, which lasted 24 hours in total. Our Japanese friends, who took us to the airport, told us that towads the end of Vassula’s speech a meteor fell into the sea nearby. We know that prayers, our communication with our Heavenly Father and His power protects us and wards off all evil!

We pray that the TLIG vines increase in Japan; that the eyes of those who cannot see the signs of God open; that the ears that can no longer hear open, and that their spirit

cultivates what the Lord has planted through the witnessing of His envoy, so that they convert and glorify Him. Here are some testimonies from Vassula’s speeches in Japan:

“I shall always be praying, believing that the Lord is with me. I shall keep this in my heart, thank you.”

“May my lukewarm heart change, so that I can become a disciple of the end times. I would like to have a zeal for God. I would like to witness for the Father’s love.”

“It has been like a dream that I have been able to see Vassula here. I had

been waiting impatiently for her arrival. We shall continue to pray for a common date for Easter, without further delay.”

“I realized that God is always on my side, in my daily life. Love is each other; I realized that everything in this world comes through prayer.”

“Thank you for the magnificent and wonderful message; it is very easy to understand. I had not been able to realize that Jesus is always with us.”

“The message that Vassula bears is wonderful and I would like to work towards unity. In addition, it is important to love each other!”

“I have been praying, believing that God is in me and I felt this after listening to today’s talk. My heart nodded a confirmation for everything. I have been attacked by the devil many times, but would like to pray to God not to lose Him.”

“I was made to reflect on my lukewarm faith. It was really good to listen to today’s talk.”

“It was really great. God is always with us, right? Prayer, I will pray from my heart, that God will “protect us”! I hope Vassula is well forever.”Testimonies from the Koriyama meeting

“I really feel God’s merciful eye that is like a miracle for Vassula’s visit to this tragic place of Fukushima, less than 50km from the nuclear power plants. I really thank Vassula and the people who helped her visit Japan this time from my heart.”

“I was surprised to see that more than five people fell down to the ground. I think the people who didn’t fall down and my friends also received the invisible Grace of God. I am going home with great gratitude.”

The speech ended with a blessing for the attendees

From the 12th to the 16th of December, 2014, a successful TLIG retreat took place in Mexico City - famous for the appearance of the Our Lady of Guadalupe to Juan Diego in 1531. The retreat was full with about300 people from 30 countries: Argentina, Latvia, Chile, Colombia, Uruguay, Venezuela, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, France, Germany, Spain, Switzerland, United States, Mexico, Greece, Trinidad and Tobago, Panama, United Kingdom, Bolivia, South Africa, Armenia, Philippines, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Norway, Poland, Ecuador, Peru, and Brazil.

The TLIG group from Mexico worked untiringly for the successful outcome of the retreat with love and sacrifice; never losing their patience, never grumbling over the task given to them. For this is the spirit of TLIG; this is what Jesus teaches us in His Messages. The Scriptures say: “Love is always patient and kind; it is never jealous; love is never boastful or conceited; it is never rude or selfish; it does not take offense and is not resentful. Love takes no pleasure in other people’s sins but delights in the truth; it is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes.“ (1 Co 13: 4-7).

After a very tiring journey with many unexpected mishaps, we arrived in Mexico City and by the grace of God, a live broadcast of all speeches in 50 countries via TLIG radio (www.tligradio.org) brought the listeners who could not attend the retreat. 13 December 2014 Vassula as well as Catholic and Orthodox priests were the speakers.The program began with the Rosary and each decade was recited in different languages. At the end of every decade we sang a hymn to Most Holy Mother Mary. The atmosphere was glorious and one could almost feel Our Lady’s tangible presence! Every night there was Eucharistic adoration. Vassula’s Opening SpeechVassula began by calling the retreat a family gathering, explaining that when one joins such a retreat, he/she becomes committed to the Call of Conversion. She reminded us that God knows us for what we really are. He tells us, “come to Me as

you are, do not wait to become saints to come to Me, come to me as you are…” (9-12-1990) and in His Grace, He can transform our soul.

She continued by saying that we are all called to expand God’s Kingdom in this dark world. We are all called to make God’s Love known, to tell the world that Christ has truly risen, to

be witnesses of God’s intimate love in these End of Times when wars, terrorism, loss of faith, apostasy, are demolishing God’s creation. This generation, the Lord says, is provoking God’s Justice.

She said that during every retreat our

Lord sends us sanctifying graces. Vassula completed her speech by mentioning the Lord’s words: “Hence even the utmost

wretched will have a Divine Visitation, for My Return is imminent. I will visit those who are not even familiar with My Divine Works. In their nothingness they have acquired nothing and have no knowledge of Me, nor have they ever known that I AM WHO I AM is their Master and God...” (4-24-2000)

Vassula’s talk won the interest not only of adult attendees but of the children as well! They were sitting in the front row, wearing headphones for the translation of the speech, listening to every word with undivided attention! I think this says it all about this testimony of love which Vassula gave!

Our Lady and Her Presence in the Redemptive PlanFr. Honorio Santana spoke on “Our Lady and Her Presence in the Redemptive Plan.” He began by saying that when talking about Mary there is always more that can be said. We should know about Her virtues because when we follow the virtues of Mary, we become like Jesus. In Her the Holy Spirit performed His greatest work: the God-Man. Her obedience to the Will of God was complete.

He spoke about the current state of the world, the great apostasy and the general lack of faith. Eternal truths, which at times in the past, were not in question, today are rejected as something useless - they want to create a world without God. He continued saying that this explains the numerous appearances of the Virgin Mary and the images that are crying. Why is Mary crying and sheds tears of blood? Because when a mother sees her children in danger, she’s anxious and struggles to

protect them. This is exactly what is happening now.

He also spoke of the Presence of Jesus in the Holy Eucharist and that if we do not believe that Jesus is present in it, we offend Him when we receive Him, and there is therefore no fruit of holiness when we receive Him. We have to believe in Him just like Mary did.

We should ask God for unity because division wounds the Heart of Jesus. “Father, may all be one, as You and I are One”, the Lord prayed. This is the most fervent desire of God. And we will all be united if we gather around Mary for the new coming of the Holy Spirit.The Most Holy Virgin of Guadalupe, a Sign of ReconciliationFr. John Abberton’s theme was “The Most Holy Virgin of Guadalupe, a Sign of Reconciliation”. He started by saying that the most important words about our Lady are the words of Jesus in the Messages. He asked that we read the Messages and especially the one of March 20, 1996: “My beloved, come and learn: who has exalted Me most? I will tell you who

exalted Me most: the New Eve has; yes! the Woman adorned with the sun, standing on the moon, with the twelve stars on Her Head for a

crown; for I who made heaven and all that is in it, and earth and all it bears and the sea and all it holds have placed Her

above all these things; the Queen of heaven is always in the presence of the Most High’s throne; no less than the height of heaven over earth is the greatness of Her Name; Her Name, wrapped in a robe of light; let the whole world bend their knee to Her who bears the Sacred Name: Mother of God;”

He continued saying that Our Lady came to a place that had been stained by the blood of human sacrifice, violence and war. He described the turbulent historical events in Mexico in the period before

and during the appearance of the Virgin Mary on Tepeyac in 1531, conflicts between Spaniards and Indians which led many of the native population in slavery. When the vision became known and the image of the Virgin imprinted on the tilma

of Juan Diego was seen, it became clear to many that Our Lady had identified with the ‘Mestizos’, children of Indian and Spanish parents. Mary’s complexion is symbolic of the birth of a new race and She is called ‘La Morenita’ (the brunette), the Mother of Mexico.

Fr. Abberton shared something that made

everyone applaud joyfully. He said: “I heard someone at Medjugorje asking about where Mary is. I don’t know how true this is, but this is what I was told, “Our Lady said, ‘In Medjugorje I come, I visit, in Mexico I live.’ ”

He concluded saying that Mary sees everything and She calls us all once again to be reconciled with God and with each other. She calls us to put down the weapons of destruction and to seek goodness and peace.

It was the first time I had heard with such detail the history and symbolism of the apparition of Our Lady of Guadalupe. And I was not the only one; later on during dinner, a lady who had studied at the school of Our Lady of Guadalupe, surprisingly said that even she did not know so many details about the miraculous presence of Our Lady in the tilma.

Next was the con-celebration of the Holy Mass by seven priests. Mass was followed by hymns and praises. Francisco played the guitar, sang and inspired the attendees who were filled with the joy of the Holy Spirit. The atmosphere was festive!

The Apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima and the Third SecretThis was the theme of the next speaker, Fr. Rolf Schönenberger, who would enable us to understand the critical state of this world. He started by saying how he consecrated himself to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, writing this proclamation with his blood when he was 11 years old, and how 20 years later Our Lady sent him to Russia, to a place he never wanted to go because he didn’t like the cold, the snow, communism and didn’t have any love for the people there. However, within a short period of time, Our Lady gave him a big love for the Russian people. He continued explaining about Our Lady of Fatima and how She had asked for the whole world to pray for the conversion of Russia.

Yet until now, the consecration and prayer for conversion has not been done as Our Lady had asked. That is why, he thought, the situation is so difficult between Russia and Ukraine. However, God can change everything. It depends on every one of us; how we pray, how we offer sacrifices, how we lead our lives. Do we help our priests, our bishops? Our Lady, in Quito, Ecuador, in 1634, said,

‘In the end of the nineteenth century, the beginning and the second part of the twentieth century there will be a very big apostasy in the Church. The sacrament of marriage will be attacked and profaned; the

freemasons then will have all the power in the Church and they will make laws, incredible laws with the aim to destroy the Sacrament of marriage; so people will

live in sin. They will have children while not married. The Christian spirit will fall rapidly and the light of the faith will weaken. It will be a complete loss of all moral values. The priests will leave priesthood and there will be not enough religious vocations. There will be no more innocence in children, nor in women and the clergy will lose faith. But then, Our Lord will send a prelate through whom the faith in the priests will be restored.’

He continued talking about Pope Francis; he knows exactly what happened in Fatima and he has the courage to do things that others have not been able to do. He referred to the meeting of the Pope with Patriarch Bartholomew in Istanbul as the wish of the Catholic Church to be united completely with the Orthodox Church. The pope seeks unity and has the unification of dates of Easter in his mind - something he stressed by tapping his forehead when asked by a friend of True Life in God to unify the dates.

Fr. Rolf said that there are many things to talk about in reference to the third secret, but no one is sure what will happen: it depends on every one of us. Last year, Jesus said to a Muslim woman who became a Christian and asked Him, ‘what will happen to my brothers and sisters’, “Don’t worry, don’t think about it, I will do a big wonder, a big sign that all will understand. You have only to pray.”

So, we only have to pray, sacrifice and all will change, all that has been said in the last 10 centuries will come to pass. The TLIG Message is one of joy and not death. It is a Message of life because God wants to start renewing the whole world. This is what Our Lady in Amsterdam said: ‘This is the end of the old epoch and a new epoch will begin.’Fr Toefilo’s SpeechBefore starting his speech, Fr. Teofilo invoked the Holy Spirit praying: ‘Come Holy Spirit, come through the powerful intersession of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Your beloved Spouse (x3). May the Lord cover us with His Precious Blood’. He started his talk by referring to St Paul: he affirms in the letter to the Ephesians, Ch. 6, that our fight or struggle is against the Sovereignties and the Powers of darkness, with the spiritual forces of evil. He is not saying this only in figurative language; he’s trying to affirm that this is a real battle, both on a personal and a Church level. In this battle, as terrible as it is, and as long as it turns out to be, we have the promise of Our Lord Jesus Christ who has said: “In the world you will have to suffer, but have courage; I have conquered the world.” (Jn 16: 33) In this battle at the foot of the Cross, Mary receives from Her Son the mission to receive into Her Immaculate Heart the sons and Disciples of Christ the Redeemer. That’s why the Church refers to Her with the last title given to Her: Co-Redemptrix and Advocate. She is the Woman in the visions of St. John in the Apocalypse, Ch.12: ‘A sign appeared in heaven, a woman, adorned with the sun, standing on the moon and with the twelve stars on her head for a crown.’

Fr. Theofilo continued saying that the Woman that physically appeared to Juan Diego named “Coatlaxopeuh”, “the one that crushes the serpent” (Guadalupe), that Mother, the Immaculate Virgin Mary, is still not recognized, nor loved in Her dignity as Mother of the Incarnate Word. In the end, Her Immaculate Heart Fr. Rolf Schönenberger with Hilda Farah translating

will triumph, as Our Lady said in Fatima. United with the Sacred Heart of Jesus, these Two Hearts are One, as Jesus says in the TLIG Message on 3/25/1996. Not only has He assigned Her as Queen of heaven and earth, She is the Throne of the King of kings for He, the Lord of All, has placed Her as first in His Sacred Heart.

He continued by referring to Pope Paul VI and his statement about the poor state of the Church - the smoke of Satan has entered the temple of God. He finished his speech by quoting Pope Benedict XVI: ‘the Church has a profound need to again learn penance, to accept purification, to learn forgiveness, but also the need for justice. Forgiveness does not substitute justice.’

This was a really powerful speech. The personality of Fr. Theofilo highlighted even more the important words spoken about the

invisible war that is going on around us, but also the protection Our Lady provides for us.

After a short break, we returned to the hall where Fr. Theofilo began the prayerful healing session, which concerns us all, because we all face problems. The priests blessed all attendees individually. We all felt the presence of the Holy Spirit.14 December 2014On this day, the Mexican True Life in God Group had arranged a public meeting. Anyone from outside who had not registered for this retreat was welcomed to attend Vassula’s testimony.

Vassula started by asking how many people in the retreat are new to TLIG. Many people raised their hands. She continued by saying that the theme of TLIG is of reconciliation and unity and we like to see clergy from all Churches with us, sharing together and learning from each other.

Vassula opened her speech by saying that what she was going to talk about was from all the teachings Jesus had been giving us in

the TLIG Messages. It may have sounded strange to some newcomers that Jesus has been coming to Vassula for so many years to turn her into His pupil, teach her

what the Scriptures say and what He desires most in our times from all of us and from His Church. His proximity is astounding; His vivid Presence is a miracle. This intimacy and manifestation somehow confirms the Scriptures and reminds us of Apocalypse 21. Vassula explained: ‘God was promising us that a time will

come when He will live among us and that we shall be His people and that He will be our God, for His Name is: God-with-them. He shall make all

things new… yes, we are in this era’, Vassula had said, ‘this era in which God is renewing His creation. This is the reason and the sign for all those manifestations of God and of our Blessed Mother in our epoch. They come all the way from Heaven, descending from Heaven to reach us, and to speak to us insistently and continuously face to face! We are living the Scriptures of the Apocalypse, where God’s Presence is now with us and is indeed so powerful and clear that it is almost palpable!’

She mentioned to the crowd that: ‘God is known to bring the dead to life and what does not exist to call into being. Many of us, and I know from their testimonies, were slaves of sin, and just like me, felt no obligation to follow the faith or go to Church, or pray; we felt no obligation to righteousness. And without realizing it, we were heading straight into the pit of death. Τhe Lord came to touch our indecent heart and from non-being, we now exist once more; from being slaves to sin, He has turned us around to willingly become slaves to God. But there is a reward in being the slaves of God; our reward will be: sanctification and an ending that leads into Eternal Life. The Calling of God, TLIG, liberates us from sin and gives us a chance to repent and reconcile with God.’

Vassula continued by saying that each of us on this earth has been given a mission. Our primary mission is to love God, to serve Him and love one another, doing good for the rest of our lives.

Despite so many signs of His goodness, there are those who do not put their hope in God, nor do they trust Him enough, but cling to what they possess and do not let go. Few are those who love God as in the first Commandment and as He wants us to love Him. And fewer still are those who understand God and know Him in an intimate way. Many do not pay heed when our Blessed Mother is asking for sacrificial love, for penance, for acts of reparation. The Lord asks from each one of us good works. The biggest service we can render

Vassula with the youngest attendees


God is to bring one soul back to Him, so we won’t stand in front of His Throne empty-handed. (4-4-1997)

God’s Messages call us for a radical trans-formation of self: mind and soul. If we allow God to transform us, nothing more will count in our eyes as it had before; the things we thought and valued as important, suddenly would become like ashes to us. And as the Lord says: “I will teach you to live in Us, move in Us and breathe in Us…” (10-25-1994)

When listening to Vassula tell about how easy it is to ask God for

this transformation, everyone in the room seemed ready at that moment to open his/her heart to the Lord and ask Him to come in and change us. All faces gleamed with this intimate joy which the Presence of the Holy Spirit gives when He is welcome!Unity by Fr. John Abberton Fr. John referred to Vassula’s words, while indicating that unity is not just about unity of the Church, but unity of friends, unity of the family and unity in all its different forms across the world. He focused on unity of the family because that is so important today. The Church must be a healing Church. According to Pope Francis we must have a healing message for those families which are broken and in trouble. The family is under attack. Fr. John said that in his ministry he meets many people with broken lives, from broken families, from relationships that have damaged them. The demons seem to find an entrance into people’s lives through family trauma and people look for help in the wrong place – to mediums, fortune tellers, New Age people, wrong books, while looking for a ‘quick fix’, wanting their problems to be gone in a flash. It all begins in the family: when the family is broken apart; when the parents are against the children; when the children feel rejected by the parents.

He continued by saying that today God gives us a chance for healing by coming to know God the Father and by being intimate with Him. He mentioned the incident that took place with Vassula and God the Father, how the Father liked it when she called Him ‘Dad’. He said that there can be no family unity without the Father. In the heart of every family there must be life; the family must be life-giving and should outflow to others, so that the Christian family becomes a missionary in the world.

With regard to unity of the Church, Fr. John said that some of the problems related to unity occurred during Church history (the great schism, the Reformation, etc.) and are embedded in people’s

memories, so the healing of memories is necessary. One thing that can help in this process is honesty, in other words, humility. It concerns the search for the

truth, being open to the truth, instead of listening to propaganda and things that are only half-true. Jesus says in the Message of 4-4-1987: “My Body is weary and injured, My Body needs to rest and be soothed; … My Body is the Church; … I wish to unite all My priests, like an army, an army of salvation; My sheep are scattered, all priests should unite; … My children are all created by My Hand, why are all My children dispersed? …”

Fr. Abberton talked about the misunderstanding and distortion of the truth when speaking about Papal infallibility. That infallibility is not only about the Pope, it is first of all about the Church; the Church is what we call indefectible in its faith. He shared how the recent Popes have worked hard to clarify that notion related to infallibility through their actions, by approaching the other Churches. They are showing humility, like Pope Francis, when bowing his head in front of the Patriarch and saying, ‘please bless me and the Catholic Church’.‘Theotokos’, by Fr. Nicholas. Fr. Nicholas started by sharing some good news: the Cardinal of Mexico City has given to the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese in Mexico City a beautiful 17th century church near the Basilica of Guadalupe, the church of St Anne, so that the Orthodox may have a presence in the area of the apparition of Our Lady. Every year on the Feast of Corpus Christi the procession begins from St. Anne and marches through the streets to the Basilica of Guadalupe. This

At the end, Fr. Nicholas distributed to each one of us a piece of the blessed bread.


year, in June, the Cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church of Mexico City will be at St. Anne’s with the Archbishop of the Greek Orthodox Church ‘por liturgia juntos’ (to have Liturgy together) and to start the procession together hand in hand. (This was received with cheers and applause.)

After this good news, he continued saying that Our Lady has many titles, but the title that wraps up the great mystery of Her honour and presence, is Theotokos – the One who brings God into humanity. We don’t call Her Christotokos because She is more than that: She brings GOD into humanity. And She is our Mother. He gave the last 10 minutes for questions from the participants on the subject of the Virgin Mary.

Fr. Nicholas continued with the service of artoklasia. As a Greek Orthodox Archimandrite, he wanted to explain to the assembly that artoklasia means breaking the bread previously blessed by the priest and then distributed to the congregation. The blessed loaves are five, the same number as those that Christ blessed in the desert and then distributed to the crowd. Along with the bread, small quantities of wine and oil are also blessed. The bread is distributed to the people; the wine is used for Holy Communion and the oil is used for the lamps. The celebration of this sacred event, with the symbolism of the multiplication of loaves by Jesus in the desert, is designed not only for the blessing of our homes and the multiplication of material, but also for the spiritual good of our loved ones and friends.Fr. Theofilo talks about the Holy SpiritNothing would be possible in the Church without the assistance and the grace of the Holy Spirit, the Architect of holiness and unity in the Church. In order to achieve unity,

we need the fire of the Holy Spirit to bend our pride, our arrogance, so that we may be lowered and Christ may be seen. That’s why we need a Baptism of the Holy Spirit which is not necessarily the

same as the Sacrament of Baptism. The words of St John the Baptist make that clear: “I baptize you with water, but He (Christ) will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.” (Lk 3:16) The Holy Spirit has as a task to transform in us so that we experience a living Christ. Fr. Theofilo continued by talking about the joy of the Holy Spirit, the simplicity of heart that the Spirit invokes, the fire of the Holy Spirit and how much Jesus wants all humanity ablaze with His Holy Spirit!

This was a speech full of the fire of the Holy Spirit! Everyone in the hall was deeply moved. Whenever Fr. Theofilo spoke of the Holy Spirit,

my whole being was overwhelmed! I was looking forward to the healing prayer. Since the Presence of the Holy Spirit was so powerful during the speech, I was sure that during the prayer service every disease and illness would be healed! God was indeed present! The tears were flowing uncontrollably, the joy was overflowing, the gratitude boundless, a blessing that cannot be described. I thank our God and praise Him for the love and mercy He shows us!15 December 2014Our Lady of Guadeloupe gave us a perfect sunny day for our trip to visit Her in the great new Basilica that was built

between 1974 and 1976, which has a circular floor plan so that the image of the Virgin (the Tilma) can be seen from any point. Since we were early, we were blessed by not having to wait a long time and see one of the greatest relics of our times: the Tilma. And here She was! I was in front of Her! I stood speechless in front of this miracle of God’s Mercy, and admired the simplicity and grandeur of the Virgin Mary. I could not find the proper words to thank Her enough for the blessing, honour and joy She gave me by bringing me there and filling my whole being!

Later on, all of us m o v e d onto the older Church. The construction of this church started in 1531 and finished in 1709 and it housed the Tilma of Juan Diego from 1709 to 1974. In this Church our priests were given special per-mission, glory be to God, to celebrate Holy Mass. Later, after our departure from this church, we visited an even older smaller Church in which the

relics of that time were preserved and where San Diego lived for a while. On our way there we passed by the place where Our Lady appeared to San Diego. It was amazing! It was so lush and green, full of beautiful roses sur-rounded by thousands of white butterflies flying around.The Sacrament of Euchelaion or Anointing of the Sick by Fr Nicholas. The purpose of Euchelaion (in Greek) is for healing of any disease, as a disorder of the harmonious functioning of the body due to

spiritual causes and especially due to the disruption of the relations of man with God. St. James says in his letter: “If one of you is ill, he should send for the elders of the church, and they must anoint him with oil in the name

of the Lord and pray over him …” (Jm 5:13-15). And St Mark says: “and anointed many sick people with oil and cured them.”(Mk 6:13) Euchelaion shows the infinite

love of the Church to our ailing fellow man; the goodwill, the concern, the substantial aid and participation in human suffering. The Church shares the pain, prays along, wishes and hopes for the healing of the patient, pleading to the Lord Jesus Christ. All in the hall, in reverence, waited patiently for their turn to be anointed with the blessed oil by Fr. Nicholas. Vassula’s gives her third speech In her speech, Vassula tells us that at the End of Times our Lord, together with our Blessed Mother promised to raise new Apostles. Energized by the Holy Spirit, they would become the pillars of the Faith, columns of Fire and defenders of the Truth.

We have been receiving constant warnings, Vassula went on, years back from both Jesus and Mary, asking us to reconcile with God and one another, to return to God and make peace with God, to start praying. Heaven has leaned all the way to us, in these last years, like never before in history. I do believe that Heaven is leaning towards us not just because of the situation of the Church, but because of the situation of the world of today. I believe that Heaven is leaning towards us helping us mainly because of the apostasy and the loss of moral values. Today’s world, especially in the West, has made God a dead God, a mummy in a museum, for their own

convenience, so that they can go on sinning. To some who call themselves Christians, God is represented as an abstract image, intellectualizing Him. There are others who treat God as a printed word only on a page in the Scriptures, no more than that. They tell you that what God had to say, He said it all through Christ. But then what does one make of the Holy Spirit? What does one

make of what Christ promised us? Did He not tell us that He will send the Advocate to lead us to the complete Truth?

God wants us to approach Him with a pure heart, the heart of a child, without being loaded with earthly solicitudes. He teaches us to seek poverty of spirit so that we have room for Him to enter and possess us.

Vassula ended by saying: ‘Let us also flee from the complacency the world is offering us and the comfort, and let us break this safe cocoon we’ve weaved ourselves into, and brake our shackles and free ourselves; and our soul will turn into a

fountain of tears with repentance when we realize Who was the One outside the door of our heart knocking all of these years.’

After her speech, Vassula continued with a prayer addressed to the Lord, blessing Him for freeing us and saving us, asking Him to heal and renew us by the power of the Holy Spirit. The prayer of repentance and deliverance followed; a prayer that Christ gave to Vassula on 11-13-2006 which everyone prayed with Vassula in English, Spanish and Portuguese. This is a particularly powerful prayer that leaves no room to blindness – facing yourself, acknowledging your mistakes made against God, renouncing evil in whatever form it is, repenting and asking our Redeemer for His forgiveness, His protection and His help.

These prayers marked the end of the retreat in Mexico. This was a retreat that filled us with hope and optimism, despite

the situations we see and experience in the world, with a strong love for all who were there and for every person who God loves. God gives generously to those who love Him.

All this was the work of the Holy Spirit who filled us with His joy and His blessings.

All those involved in organizing this retreat, and especially the translators, Olga Gajardo and Hilda Farah as well as Francisco playing guitar and singing, deserve special thanks for their hard work!

I would like to remind the readers that I have given s u m m a r i e s and portions of the speeches in my account. Anyone who wants to read the entire speeches of all speakers can find them at: http://tlig.org/en/news/2015-01-14/2311/

Maria Stavrou (from Rhodes prayer group).

P.S. Maria explains; since the beginning of my conversion, when I had heard about the apparitions of Our Lady of Guadeloupe and about a miraculous healing of a friend, I had a big secret desire to visit Our Lady in Mexico. But it remained an impossible dream. Nobody knew about my longing to visit Her. But the Lord who knows every secret desire of the heart, made my dream come true through Vassula and her proposal to me to accompany her there! Glory be to His Holy Name!

Vassula with TLIG friends from Brazil


February 12-18, 2015

The first public TLIG meeting in which Vassula spoke took place in Lausanne in 1988, paving the way for the Messages to spread in Switzerland, France, the United Kingdom, and all over Europe later on. The Lord had told the then hesitant and inexperienced Vassula: “It is I who will organize and give you the program of My Meetings; it is I who will tell you what to say; the program will be given to you from above; I am Wisdom and from Wisdom you will receive It.” (TLIG December 17, 1988)

Ever since then, over a thousand meetings and presentations of the True Life in God Messages have taken place all over the world. There has been a great deal of opposition, rejections and attacks against the Message as well as on Vassula, who has received not only the grace, but the command as well from God to deliver it to the world. There have been countless conversions and miracles through the grace of the Holy Spirit in the souls of those who study the Messages and are reminded of God’s way.

“Was there any prophet who was not persecuted, threatened or attacked? They are ranging second in the rank of My Church, after the apostles, yet they have always been mistreated and abused, for out of their mouth they hear the truth and the truth disturbs them.” (TLIG, June 30, 1990).

In this mission to the four French-speaking countries, Vassula glorified the Lord once again, making His message known. As He does each and every time at these meetings, He showed His Love, reminding us that the Lord is always with us. In every meeting the hall was filled with newcomers who had never heard of God’s Messages: True Life in God! The newcomers were listening with such intensity that had a pin fallen at that moment we would have heard it!

Lausanne, Switzerland

The first fruits from 1988 in Lausanne yielded more fruits, and the TLIG message became known in many cities of Switzerland. Prayer groups were established, and with the grace of the Holy

Spirit and the power of prayer, they continue to work for God’s glory and the dissemination of the Work of True Life in God, a

Message that brings hope to the people and to our world that is more in shambles today than in any other time in history. With respect and love, the organizers co-operated for God’s work, doing their best in preparation for Vassula’s speech in Lausanne.

Since advertising the meeting through the press would have been very expensive, the Internet was deployed, invitations were handed out in churches; friends and acquaintances were informed. The news spread by word of mouth, and even though it was a holiday period and people were on the mountains, the attendance was very high. In the Palais de Beaulieu hall, with

a seating capacity of 1200, the two banners of Jesus and Our Lady were placed at each side of the stage, beautifully decked

with rose arrangements. At the center of the stage, a large screen displayed Vassula as she spoke, while the Lord’s Prayer, sung in Aramaic, could be heard in the hall. Wearing orange armbands, the organizers were accommodating people. At the hall entrance, printed materials of information about True Live in God were displayed, classified into categories. One category was the book containing all the TLIG messages, another was the edition of Vassula’s biography Heaven Is Real, But So Is Hell, which had just come out in French, and at a separate table was information and photos of the TLIG work of love, the Beth Myriams.

By the time Vassula arrived, the hall was almost filled to capacity. About 900 people attended her testimony, in a spiritual atmosphere… Simultaneously, as she spoke, the translation was

given to German. Swiss residents from many countries of Europe, Africa and Asia, had come for the meeting. Vassula’s family, who live in Lausanne, attended her speech once again, seated in the first rows. Jacques’ and Isabel’s grandchildren, along with their parents, 21 people in all, interrupted their school holidays to attend Vassula’s speech.

After speaking about Vassula’s mission and the TLIG messages, Fr. Vincent invited Vassula to the podium. Vassula greeted people and asked them to recite with her the Lord’s Prayer in Aramaic. Before beginning her speech, she inquired how many members of the audience were listening to her for the first time, asking them to raise their hand. One fourth of the audience was listening to her for

the first time, and this finding is a pleasant surprise every time… New readers, new souls came to listen to God’s echo…

“Blessed are those who will open themselves to Me and allow My Dew of Peace and Love penetrate in them….” (TLIG, November 21, 1988)

Vassula talked about how this revelation had begun in Bangladesh. She discussed prayer and the importance of confession. She explained what “We, Us” means and how much it pleases God if we offer Him our will daily. She went on to say that young people today believe there is no God. For this reason, the Lord, seeing our generation dead, seeing the great apostasy of our era, intervenes and shows His Presence among us. The Holy Spirit comes to raise the spiritually dead and to inflame the hearts of those who believe in Jesus Christ. Jesus is asking us to thank Him and praise Him daily. He is asking us to be reconciled to Him and He is promising that He will shower us with graces and blessings. Vassula stressed that we can recognize the signs of the times by the great apostasy that has spread all over the world like a fog and has even infiltrated into the House of God… “God is asking us to change our hearts, to convert and live a holy life…”

“In the end times people who ridicule [God] will appear. They will follow their own ungodly desires…” (Jude 1:18)

She mentioned the TLIG prayer groups that have established in Switzerland and invited those wishing to participate to leave their contact information at the exit. She asked people to make a habit of reciting the prayer of healing and deliverance, stressing its power when recited from the heart. Concluding her speech, she thanked the audience who had come to listen by saying: “…Jesus invited you and motivated you to come and listen to His word. I shall pray for you, but you should also not neglect to pray for me and my family…”

In a climate of joy and enthusiasm, some members of the audience approached Vassula to greet her, thank her, and have their books signed. Among them, were some of the first fruits of the message in Switzerland. At the bookstand, the books sold out. It was a delight to watch how the people were thirsting for God after hearing of the sweetness of God; to watch all of this brings hope for the Church, and the messages do uplift souls, bringing them closer to God. The presence of our Lord among us, anointing us with graces, radically transforms hearts.

Once again, it was a wonderful testimony, inspired by the Holy Spirit… a hymn for God’s infinite love and mercy: a call for Church Unity. We are praying that this call reaches everyone’s heart.

Luxemburg

The following day, February 13, we boarded the plane from Geneva for Luxemburg. Among all the countries in the world that Vassula has witnessed in, this country was added to the list as the 82nd one. Isabel was with us on this trip, following Vassula through the rest of

her journey, until reaching her final destination in France. At the airport, we were welcomed by some of the Luxemburg organizers as well as several French volunteers from the French TLIG Association who had come by car from France, carrying printed TLIG material and all that was necessary for organizing the speech in Luxemburg.

The assistance from the French TLIG Association towards this mission to the four French-speaking countries was considerable.

It was the first time that L u x e m b u r g had organized a speech/t e s t i m o n y on the TLIG messages, so the assistance and experience from the French was a prerequisite.

They were guiding us, and in a spirit of solidarity and co-operation, they were quietly working, preparing the hall for each speech. They followed us to Belgium, and returned to France via Saumur, a town close to Nantes. During dinner on this first day, we had the opportunity to meet most of them. Happy and in a good mood, they were discussing the final preparation details before V a s s u l a ’ s speech, which was to take place the following day.

During the morning of February 14th, Vassula was interviewed by Mr. Christian Pa r m a nt ie r, who writes for the Stella Maris m a g a z i n e . The interview lasted about an hour, and among other things, she talked about the new book Heaven Is Real But So Is Hell. Vassula explained that it is written in simple language, and is intended mainly for the young who are not acquainted with God. It includes important events of her life, from her childhood until today, as well as extracts from the TLIG messages.

At the “Maria Theresa” hall of the hotel, the banners of Jesus Christ and Our Lady had already been placed and at the center there was a screen projecting the icon of the Ultimate Humility of Christ, painted by Vassula. Several TLIG friends had travelled from Germany, Belgium and Greece to attend Vassula’s speech and to personally invite friends and acquaintances living in Luxemburg to this speech. The hall, with a seating capacity of about 350-400 people was full. Also at this speech, there were a large number of young people, new readers of the messages, attending. The multiculturalism of the audience was impressive as well. We have all been created in His Image, and Jesus’ Sacrifice was for all His creatures!

Fr. Cuenot, who, in the past, met Vassula for the first time in Brazil, introduced her. As Vassula was speaking, the speech was simultaneously translated into German. After greeting everyone present, she invited us to stand up and pray with her the Lord’s Prayer in Aramaic. She spoke about Church Unity and the unification of the date of Easter; about the New Heavens and the New Earth, which will take place inside us; about the Day of the Lord, the power of prayer, especially of prayer coming from the heart with childlike simplicity. She stressed that Love is the key to Heaven; it is the powerful means in putting a stop to the great Apostasy… And in extinguishing one’s ego; the humbler one becomes, the easier the Holy Spirit will find His way inside us…

Vassula concluded her speech with the prayer for healing and deliverance, stressing that this prayer given her by the Lord is very powerful and effective when we pronounce each word with our heart. She thanked the people for thirsting for Jesus, saying that she would pray for those present and their families, on condition that they, too, would pray for her and her family.

Each one of her speeches is unique. Even when she repeats the same topics, her approach and interpretation is made in

a different and unique way each time. Through her witness talk we can see that the Lord is continually teaching and reminding her everything He has said to her, since many years back. He is not giving a new teaching. He is reminding her of the complete Truth, so that those who have been led astray can convert and get to know His way.

Vassula’s testimony, which is a hymn to God, provides solace and animates the faith. It gives light and hope in the heart and grief diminishes. It reassures the soul, such as a child who runs to find shelter in the Presence of the Triune God. The Lord takes care of the hungry, and those who fear Him, with His heavenly food: the Messages of True Life in God are indeed a miracle of our time!

Brussels, Belgium

Immediately after the meeting, we departed by car for Belgium. Our French friends followed us with their cars. We traveled with friends, TLIG volunteers from Belgium, who had come to Luxembourg to participate in the

organizing. Our trip to Belgium lasted 2.30 hours. We arrived at night in Brussels. In the hotel, a joyful young girl, Athena,

w e l c o m e d V a s s u l a , giving her a nice bouquet of flowers. There, we met with the other o r g a n i z e r s from Belgium and dined with them.

It is a great p l e a s u r e , each time in a different

country, in Europe or anywhere in the world, to meet with volunteers who work with consistency and dedication in the vineyard of TLIG, spreading the Message in their country. They are the ones for whom the Lord says:

“Tell them that they are the Joy of My Heart; I am their Father ...Yahweh is My Name“ (TLIG, Nov-ember 5, 2013)

They are not many, but they are almost everywhere. They are the ones who answered to the call of God and with their limited powers, work selflessly. Their work bears fruit because they are covered by the grace of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and because they have Mary Most Holy as a guide, advisor and mediatrix. It is the TLIG spiritual family that stretches around the world and is rooted in Christ. They

are the apostles of the End Times who work quietly, despite the attacks and obstacles, with the sole purpose to make the Message of True Life in God and Christ’s desire for church unity known.

On Sunday morning, February 15, we attended the Divine Liturgy at the Church of St. Catherine at the center of Brussels. At noon, arriving at Boulevard du Jardin Botanique, Center 44, in Brussels, where the meeting would take place, a delegation from the Embassy of Congo was waiting for Vassula. It was a very pleasant encounter. After offering Vassula a souvenir gift, they passed into the hall where they attended her talk. The organizers had prepared the hall, placing the banner of Christ and Mary along with flowers on the podium. In the hall were about 400 people. Vassula was introduced in both Flemish and French. There was simultaneous translation

of her talk in Dutch, since three buses traveled from the Netherlands for this meeting.

Vassula, as always, thanked the attendees who came to listen to the message of God and began with the Lord’s Prayer in Aramaic. Also this meeting was the first time for the majority of the audience to hear Vassula; there were many new men and women and among them some priests. Vassula, in

these cases where there are many newcomers, makes a point to speak about the beginning of the Messages, the early years

of the revelation of the Messages while in Bangladesh. She emphasized the tender love of the Father, the unity that Christ asks from His Church through the need for the existence of a common celebration date for Easter and the great apostasy that exists in the world and in European countries. She talked about how God educates us, giving us small daily lessons, in order to understand Him better and progress spiritually. The meeting ended with the prayer for healing and deliverance. Vassula thanked the people for their attendance and bade them farewell.

Later, Annette offered us a driving tour of the city of Brussels and dinner in an Asian restaurant. With us were Fr. Joseph and Dominic.

Early the next morning, after taking the standard group souvenir photo with the organizers, they bade us farewell with warm hugs and kisses for the next and last country of our trip, France.

Saumur, France

The next day, Monday, February 16th, we left for Saumur, France, by air from Brussels to Nantes where the organizers were expecting us. From Nantes we traveled by bus to Saumur, where we arrived after a two hour long journey.

At the hotel, the French group that had already arrived by car from Brussels was waiting. At the dinner were six priests from

different Churches who came from different cities of France to attend Vassula’s meeting and be with her: Archbishop Norvan Zakarian-Orthodox Armenian Church, Bishop Athanasius- (General Bishop of the Coptic Orthodox Church of France), Pastor Gavin Ashenden of the Anglican Church, from the Roman Catholic Church Mgr. Jean-Régis Froppo (Abbot of the monastery of St Augustine) and Fr. Rene Laurentin, who

although unwell, insisted in being with us in Saumur to hear Vassula. He was driven in by a good friend of his, a lady who is 87 years of age; this was a journey of 7 hours from Paris, so as to listen to Vassula’s talk.

“... And as the sun and the moon shine on all things, My Holy Countenance will shine on you as a blessing, confirming that I Am is the true and only Author of True Life in God and that you are My gift to mankind, this is the manner by which I will seal My Message ... immense is My Name and My Glory ...” (TLIG, December 7, 1993)

The next morning after Mass, we were together with the priests and the organizers in the hotel lounge. The conversation

always revolved around the messages and Vassula’s mission. Vassula was talking with the priests, while the others, even in moments of rest, were working as they were stooping over computers, exchanging thoughts and ideas; these are moments of brotherhood, moments of love and unity, all feeling that we are members of the Body of Christ.

At 7.15 pm, we left for the hall «Parc Saumur-Events». The place was enormous and resembled an airplane parking area. About 900 people attended Vassula’s meeting. Fr. Froppo introduced Vassula and thanked her for the journey and for her witnessing in France.

Vassula greeted the audience and asked how many were listening to her for the first time. In Saumur as well, many new people attended her meeting for the first time. After praying the Lord’s Prayer in Aramaic together with the people, Vassula spoke about the beginning of the messages and her Angel Daniel. She spoke about the love that is missing among us, about prayer that is said only with the lips and without love. She stressed that we do not thank God for what He is giving us as blessings, daily, but instead, we are negative, fastidious and grumpy. She read messages that came from the Father and from Christ. She said that the unity of the Church is the most important thing in our time; we should be praying for unity and stressed that if

the Church would be united, then the wars and the evil in the world will stop. She spoke about the Virgin Mary, about the messages Christ is giving about Our Mother and that Christ comes, as a reminder of His Word, to warn us about the future events. She talked about the Signs of the Times and the great apostasy that St John the Evangelist mentions in the book of Revelation. She reminded us that the Lord says not to fear, because in the end the triumph of two Sacred Hearts shall prevail... Christ loves us to folly, but we cannot understand the magnitude of this love and that we are not worthy of. He thirsts for us to love Him and rejoices in every pure heart. ...The hope is for us to grow spiritually through the Holy Spirit. Without Him we cannot live and therefore we die spiritually...” And after having urged the people to address God with simplicity, like children, Vassula gave the floor to Bertrand who spoke about the work of the Beth Myriams. He stressed that Vassula does not receive any money

for her work or from the publications of the TLIG books. He informed the people about the books that were at the stands, about the prayer groups, the pilgrimages, the TLIG e-news...

Vassula closed this meeting, as she did with the others, with the prayer for healing and deliverance; the attendees recited it with her. She said that the Lord gave us a very powerful prayer for our times and He teaches us how to pray. She thanked them for coming, stressing that Jesus knows everyone’s problems individually, and bade them farewell...

The messengers of God succeed one another over the centuries in order to tell the world to repent. In this way, God reveals Himself more than ever, so as to bring us back to Him and to remind us of His Commandments. Vassula conveyed the message of God to the four French-speaking countries of Europe and completed her mission successfully, giving joy to those who worked to accomplish it and to those who attended

her meetings. In each mission, where Vassula is invited to witness about the messages of True Life in God, the intended outcome is to have the attendance of new people. Thus, the Word of God is spread continuously.

We thank the TLIG volunteers of the four countries for the excellent organization, the warm hospitality, their love for Vassula, for the message of True Life in God and

me too. The success of Vassula’s meetings shows that they did their best in organizing each meeting ... and that the rest was taken care by the Lord, as always...

In Christ,

Gethsemane Vlaserou

Fr. Froppo introduces Vassula


We were helping Fr Paul to convert his garage to a living accommodation. Fr Paul is a devotee of the True Life in God Messages and we (that is my husband Robin, myself - Christine and our friend Joe Borge from London) were doing our best to help with the building work, or in my case, providing agreeable company, necessary meals and singing in the evening with the great help from Geraldine Hiller. We also inevitably would finish an evening with the Rosary prayer.

One day it was raining so hard that the work in the muddy, clay infested soil became impossible. So reluctantly the men stopped their work. They returned to their respective sleeping quarters. My husband left his extremely muddy shoes in the conservatory, and our friend Joe who as staying next door in the chapel, left his to dry off in the lobby of the chapel.

Later that evening we had a prayer meeting with the Rosary which we dedicated to the souls in Purgatory and our guardian angels. Afterwards we sang some hymns with Geraldine at the piano. Robin has been given this wonderful ability to hear the choirs of angels singing along with us. If you think that this is a joke, please be respectful towards Robin who gets great pleasure from their superior singing, never out of tune and at such fantastic pitch that no human voice can compare!

Then came the morning and Joe knocked at our door with a pair of spotlessly clean, dry and shining trainers, saying, “OK! Who cleaned my shoes?” My unchristian reply was, “You must be joking! I love you dearly, but as for cleaning your shoes, well, no!” Joe then asked if it was Geraldine who did this kind job. I reminded him that Geraldine had gone home the previous evening and it was dark, she had no access to water and drove straight from the chapel to her home.

Joe asked where Robin’s shoes were, so Robin went off to the conservatory expecting to find his extremely muddy shoes standing waiting for that long and arduous task of cleaning. You can imagine our shock when he walked into the room holding perfectly clean, shining, almost new pair of old shoes! Joe had an instant inspiration and said plainly that this was the work of our excellent guardian angels. Perhaps he was right and they did this in gratitude for our prayers the previous night?

If you would like to know when this happened, it was around the end July 2012. I should now finish with another note of thanks to our guardian angels, and perhaps encourage all of you reading this piece to say an occasional prayer of gratitude to your own guardian angels who quietly and unobtrusively do their duty and beyond, on our behalf!

Vassula Ryden and the True Life in God Associations are delighted to be able to announce our next Pilgrimage to Italy, one of the great artistic and spiritual centres of the world.

We shall be spending 7 nights in Rome, the Eternal City, which has had a lasting appeal throughout the centuries and from where we shall be visiting different parts of Italy.

Our programme will include a visit to Pompeii, the city that was buried under 20 feet of ash following the eruption of the nearby volcano, Mount Vesuvius, in 79A.D. There we shall visit the Basilica of the Beata Vergine del Santo Rosario. On another day our pilgrimage will take us to Loreto, a hilltown in the Italian province of Ancona, mostly known for the Basilica della Santa Casa, which is, according to tradition, the house in which our Virgin Mary lived. For our third day outside Rome we shall visit beautiful Assisi, as we did in 2011, the birthplace of St. Francis and a UNESCO world heritage site. We shall visit the upper Basilica of Saint Francis which houses the frescoes of Giotto depicting the life of Saint Francis and the lower Basilica with the sepulchre of the

Saint. We shall also visit the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli, containing the little chapel, called la Porziuncola, in which Jesus told St. Francis to rebuild His Church. Places certainly not to be missed!

During our time in Rome we shall visit some of the key sites to include Scala Santa, Santa Maria Maggiore, and St. Peter’s Basilica.

We look forward to welcoming you on the 2015 Pilgrimage, to pray in unity and share memorable events.

Our Programme will commence in Rome, with pilgrims arriving on Saturday, October 10th.

Pilgrims will depart for their respective countries on Saturday, October 17th. Arrivals and departures will be via the airport of Fiumicino or Ciampino.
