peace be with you; flower of Mine, allow Me to use your hand today to write down My Message; ¹

I give you My Peace; beloved ones, I have raised you up to use you as a means to make My Messages known throughout the world; I have raised you up to make out of you living altars, giving you My Flame; I raised you up to transfigure you into living temples; My Grace is upon you, My Eyes never leaving you; come and draw from My Riches, come, please Me and say these words:

“may You be blessed,
Lord, all Merciful,
all the greatness, the power,
the splendour is Yours,
Yours is the sovereignty
and You are Ruler of all and above all,
and it is by You and through You
that Unity shall descend, as lightning,
to honour and Glorify Your Body,
amen”

and I tell you that in Unity you shall be like vessels carrying My Light, proclaiming My Kingdom and teaching the Truth with complete freedom and without hindrance of anyone;

(take down a few more lines for My chosen ones)

be prepared for a few more tribulations; I am before you to open your way, so do not fear; many shall be scandalised, but he who proclaims the Truth never goes without trials, your oppressors are surrounding you, but have you felt any? I tell you, before they even reach you I scatter them away; I the Lord walk by your side;

hear Me: to unite, you shall all have to bend; there must be no competition among you, no conceit, but everyone has to be self-effacing; I am Divine and divine I wish you to be; you should, My beloved ones, all bend, since you all share My Spirit;

I, the Lord, bless you;

Jesus?

I am;

I, Jesus, love you, daughter; tell Me, had I not come to you in this way to save you, would you be waiting for Me, serving Me? and had you not been lifted by Me would you have been aware of all that is happening in My Church?

No, no Lord, but I’m no good to have been given all this.

flower, even if you are no good, I am here with you to bless you and to draw you deeper in My Heart; eat from Me in this way; have My Peace;

lift your eyes to Me,

and My Holy Face shall shine on you; I have anointed you to be one of My brides, I have elevated you to be Mine; Love loves you … I have imbued you with My delicate fragrance, I have spread My fragrance all the way to your friends; I have adorned you with My jewels to resemble Me; I have fastened you to Me;

lift your eyes to Me,

and see My Holy Face; I am your Saviour who loves you; accept the way I lead you; I have laid out My Plans long before you were born; fast, My beloved, mortify your senses, repair for those who wound Me;

lift your eyes to Me,

and feel how My Love covers you and consumes you; expiate for others to please Me; look! I am He who loves you most, would you resist My call? would you resist Me? I, who called you by your name and fashioned you to My Image; I, who lifted you from the dead and your soul I delivered from the countries underneath the earth;

lift your eyes to Me,

and look at your King who adorned your nakedness with His Blessings; I have espoused you to Me and brought you up with Wisdom; ah Vassula, My pupil, rejoice Me and share with Me;

lift your eyes to Me,

and look at the One who saved you; I am He; He who created you;

lift your eyes to Me,

and look at Me; I am He who revealed to you My Holy Face; I am He who flourished your senses; I am the Lord who looked on you and assessed you and poured on you My Teachings; watch My Lips² … from these very Lips of your God you have learned all that you know today; from the Lips of your God you were dictated and all the Knowledge you have comes from Me; I am your Educator; are you willing to let Me draw you in My Footprints till the end? will you allow Me to do this?

From Your very Hand I have been given Food,
without any merits,
who am I to have been poured with graces?
All comes from You.
From Your own Hand I have been given gifts.
I bless You O Lord,
I will exult and rejoice in Your Love
and follow You feverishly till the end,
and even more determined.

then take My Cross of Love and Peace and together we shall proceed; remember, My beloved, that I am near you all the time, remember My Holiness so that you may walk in holiness; offer Me your wretchedness and My Soul shall soothe you; your Saviour is by your side; I am He who raises the poor from the dust; you see, My Vassula, it is by faith and through faith in Me that I have made you enter this state of grace;

(The Lord means that I approached Him with His grace by faith and through child-like-faith.)

I, Jesus, love you; delight Me always;
