TURIN AND THE HOLY SHROUD

October 5, 1987

I would go and repair for the pastor, as St. Mary asked me to do. Later on my cousin Ismini rang me up telling me they will go visit Turin in Italy, and asking if we'd like to go with them. Finally, I thought, it was my dream always to go there and visit the Cathedral that has the Holy Shroud. Jesus has arranged it again for me. I would go.

My cousins drove us to the hotel where they usually go. Turin is enormous as town, but our hotel was 500 meters from what I went for! Jesus made it easy for me. We arrived on Saturday lunch, and after a while I went to the Cathedral. I was very impressed. Upstairs was the Holy Shroud in the dome of the Cathedral. I thought I saw the Holiest of places. Peace and Holiness reigned in that dome. I felt it in me, it was wonderful.

Later on I left for the hotel. It was evening when my cousin returned from shopping. I rushed to her to tell her where I was, but she seemed to be flying towards me, she didn't want to hear me, she wanted me to hear her, for what she saw and discovered was so wonderful.

She said, "Vassula, that road we passed by 10 x and I, for so many years, I never saw St. Mary's statue there. But its enormous! Almost 3 meters height. Its so beautiful, Her dress with so many pleats, and her blue cape. She looked so beautiful, and She has Her arms opened like She'd like to embrace the world, you must come and see Her. You passed by Her, haven't you seen Her? At each side of Her were satin curtains, red-scarlet, shiny and beautiful." I said I passed it but I only saw the curtains which were worn-out, 1/2 red and 1/2 yellow. She told me that she too for years did not notice it. I had seen no statue. The following day, Sunday, she wanted me to go see the enormous statue so I said after I take you to the Cathedral where the Holy Shroud is. So she followed me. It was Sunday Mass. We stayed a 1/2 an hour, then after litting a candle we left; for the St. Mary's big statue. We arrived there and my cousin almost fainted. For there was no big statue, or even small. There were no shiny red-scarlet curtains. There were the ordinary worn-out, yellow-red, I had seen but no statue.

She did not understand it. But I did. Below, the curtains was an interiour door. She pushed it and it was a church. I said to her, this is why we came to Turin, to go to this church, called Madonna di Rosario, to repair. The Church of St. Mary. The huge beautiful statue you saw was to pull and bring us here. Our Mother called us. She gave you the apparition of Herself in statue, big so that it impresses you, to pull us here. "And She wants Her candle lit in Her Church, to amend for the parish's words. We entered and it was such a beautiful Church. Mass was on. We stayed till it was over. We went forward to a golden statue of St. Mary and Jesus as a Child, and it was there we lit her candle praying for Jesus to forgive us and him.

Jesus, is this correct?
