I am in your midst; know My little Vassula, that the poor will receive more from Wisdom than the rich, who glory in their glory which is no glory at all; I have anointed you with My oil, ³ so that in this baptismal oil I can obtain victories from you for My glory but also for your own sanctification;

In Your sweetness, let me obtain mercy from You;

come and hear Sovereignty whisper in your ear; come and write down My Words and treasure them; I am the Guardian of your soul and from My Lips you will hear no flattery but righteousness; come and lean your head on My Heart so that in that closeness you can obtain the revelation coming from the furnace ⁴ of Love, and when you will hear Me, Choice-of-My-Son, your soul will not resist to pursue the path of righteousness and goodness; then you will find your joy in the end of this path

have you not heard, delightful child, that I Yahweh, your Creator, am wedded to My creation and am everyone's Spouse? ⁵ day and night you stumble along, creation, chasing the shadows, and not even once have you ever tried to penetrate into this mystery;

ah, Vassula, ⁶ you whom I blessed with the unction of My Name, jealousy inflames My Heart every time your heart acts like dame folly and flutters away from Mine, pursuing frills and not My Divine power; I tell you, My loved one, keep your Bridegroom's principles and bind them to your heart; these will warm your heart and will avert you from becoming distracted from the Presence of your Bridegroom who is only waiting to be gracious to you, Ever-so-loved-by-Me; and if I have asked you to disclose My wedding song ⁷ by writing, it was because of My zealous love I have for each soul and because I wanted that My loved ones have enough nourishment while they are crossing this desert .... I have entrusted you with one talent, to procure for Us, ⁸ the equivalent amount; you have done well, because you have shown to Us, in your ardour to please Us, your faithfulness;

I, who am the Lover of mankind, Spouse of My creation, wish to draw you now to Me .... take a retreat in Me ⁹ .... why, you must have heard sometimes how the bridegroom longs to be alone with his bride after the wedding? I am offering you this favour as a prelude to our feast; ¹⁰ yes, on that day when you responded to My Divine Will .... and by opening your heart to My Call, I enriched it from Mine so that later on you would grain everywhere those treasures; those treasures are seeds ¹¹ you are obtaining from Me, whereby you were to sow them in the countries I would be sending you;

that day when you submitted to My Divine Will, allowing Me to govern your life, I stood affectionately in front of you, inviting you with these words: "it is impossible for a soul to love Me, the way I want her to love Me were she to keep her distance from Me; approach Me and taste My delights; I wish you to become intimate with Me; if you remain far from My embrace, you will be unable to get to know Me;" ¹² I have, in our intimate union and the unction of My Love adorned you with Knowledge: Knowledge of how to find Me and get to know Me

since I have chosen you amongst thousands, you should not doubt any more; act in humility so that I continue to raise you up to Me .... I have washed your hands and your mouth, so that by your hands, cleansed, they would write My Words and keep My books, and by your mouth I would fragrance every nation; through My grace, I adorn ¹³ your soul with the garment of My strength but above all I, My Vassula, adorned you with My magnificent Works of Wisdom so that from My beloved's lips, anointed by My Sovereignty, We ¹⁴ would hear praise and honour for Our Trinitarian Holiness; ¹⁵

continue to proclaim a Resurrected Christ and fill the whole world with fruit; tell them that Christ in His Divine Love is bending down from Heaven to revive by His Presence the work of My Hands; ¹⁶ with this encouraging news, hordes of nations will come to know Us in an intimate union;

speak as My envoy and remind My people that I, Yahweh, am alive and active, then, go to those ¹⁷ sacerdotals who do not seek Me anymore and ask them: "why are you never asking: where is God?" in My Day I will pronounce My judgment against these shepherds, who have no knowledge of Me and who have never tasted interiourly My sweetness; today these shepherds have exchanged Me for something that has no value nor any power in it to remember My Presence is what they should observe; I am not observed .... how can I say: "they are My Son's incense;" when their only fragrance is the smell of death?

I have given you, creation, twelve years ¹⁸ of ineffable favour and I did not want to act with speed in My wrath; to comfort you in these years of favour I have spoken, I have bound up hearts that were broken and have put Peace in those hearts; My Own Heart is a Fountain of Living Water immersing, in these years of favour, this dry land, giving growth where dross was only to be found; - I always wished to rank you as My Own;

in these days, I tell you, I who am the Bridegroom of My creation, call each one of you: My wedded one; why those frowns and menaces on the sweetness of My Mouth? ¹⁹ unhappy little creature, remote from knowing Me, come! I invite you to fall into your Bridegroom's embrace and I will show you how I, Yahweh, can adorn your spirit, lavishly offering you a flow of My Divine Love so that you, in your turn return to Me this flow of Love; then, wait and see, the day I will draw you into the nuptial chamber of My Heart, like a rose that grows on the bank of a watercourse, you will blossom to declare the greatness of My Name, calling Me: "my Father;" in the nuptial chamber of My Heart, your heart will spring up with praises and as the bridegroom rejoices in his bride, so I will rejoice in you and you in Me; My mighty Hand will uphold you and you would never want to part with Me again; indeed, your spirit, enriched by My sweetness and fullness of My Spirit, will cry out to all nations: "beauty and glory is to be found in our Creator! our Hope and our Lord!"
