I have been given the role of His messenger throughout all the ages.

The Book of Truth:

Tuesday, December 9th, 2014, 17:00

My dear child, I am the Immaculate Virgin Mary, the Mother of God, and I come to reveal to you the purpose of my mission on earth.

I am the handmaid of the Lord and I was appointed by my Heavenly Father to bear His Son, Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the World. Just as I was called upon to fulfill His Most Holy Will, through the birth of His only Begotten Son, who was sent to give eternal life to all of His children, I have been given the role of His messenger throughout all the ages. I was sent as His messenger to reveal the mysteries of His Heavenly Kingdom and at all times I came in His Holy Name to impart important messages for the world. I did not come in my own right because I would never have been given this authority. I came in the Name of God, as His loyal servant, for the Glory of God so that He could calls souls into His Divine Mercy. Now I come again in this, the final mission, sanctioned by the Most Holy Blessed Trinity, in the salvation of souls.I played an important role in the Coming of the Messiah, the first time, and I come finally as His holy messenger in these, the times of the end, before He, My Son, is manifested in His Second Coming.All through the ages, when I appeared in the apparitions on earth, a sign  was given to the world. In many cases, I revealed important prophecies through the Gift of inner locution but, in some cases, nothing was said at all. Instead, a sign  was given and those blessed with discernment understood what it was that God wanted His children to know. It is because of His great generosity that He sanctioned these divine interventions for His only desire was to save souls.

My Eternal Father, Who created all things from nothing, intercedes only when He desires to rescue His children from the deceptions, which are planted in their hearts. It is when the evil one creates havoc that God always steps in to open the hearts of His children to the Great Love that He has for each of them. Accept this mission, dear children, with graciousness and give thanks to God for His Great Mercy without which many souls would be lost.

Your Beloved Mother, Mother of Salvation”

True Life in God:

My Holy Spirit Shall Be Poured On The Pagans Too
My Graces Upon You Will Be Multiplying

March 25, 1991

Lord, this week is the Holy Easter week for the Roman Catholics and next week is the Holy Easter week for the Orthodox. I feel it is not right to have different dates and to be differentiating ourselves in You to the point that one hears remarks as: their Jesus is not our Jesus!

I love you all the same, but many of you do not seem to understand this; wretched you are all, sinners you are all, frail you are all, but all of you are My offspring; see Vassula? have I made any difference? I have come to you and showed you My Sacred Heart; 1 I went in all directions seeking by what means I could make you Mine, I showered blessing upon blessing on you to raise you from death and form you since you lacked Wisdom, I courted you and in My Tenderness I Myself have chosen you to become a witness to a people not your own and of whom many are far from understanding why Wisdom has chosen a foreigner among them;

I, the Sacred Heart, am determined to show them that I have taken you, a foreigner, to them, to share the Riches of My Sacred Heart and share Its delights and sorrows; yes, I have come to teach foreigners too of My Sacred Heart’s Riches, today I have made a new song for them for I am one and the same! so pupil, continue not to differentiate yourself under My Name, even if you are whirled away by the breath of My enemies I shall not leave you defenceless; I shall always come to your rescue, My child; if they challenge2 you do not respond, I shall respond in your place;

Scripture says: God does not have favourites, but that anybody of any nationality who fears God and does what is right is acceptable to Him; 3 but men have divided themselves, they have segregated themselves under My Holiness; but wait and you shall see; My Holy Spirit (to the great astonishment of many) shall be poured on the pagans too; I tell you solemnly, these things shall take place before this generation shall pass away; so courage, My child, do not be afraid; I shall unite you all in the end … and the viper shall not be allowed to throw his venom in your food anymore, generation; your food shall be whole and pure; sorrow and lament will be ended; I love you and My people shall bear My Holy Name4 in one in this unity;

Oh that You would
tear the
Heavens open and come down!
At Your Presence not only the mountains would melt

as the prophet Isaiah said, 5
but also the three iron bars You made me draw,
representing the Roman Catholics, the Orthodox and the Protestants.

I promise you: I shall not leave My Church divided for long; I Myself shall come upon Her with full force and rebuild Her; have confidence in Me, My beloved one; I shall not put up with this faithless generation anymore; after all, the Father’s wrath cannot be withheld any longer; this is why My Graces upon you will be multiplying: to save you; Vassula, the earth has not yet enjoyed My Peace fully; like a dry soil it thirsts for this Peace I bequeathed to all of you and I, like a watercourse running into a garden, I shall come down to irrigate you; and you, My child, rejoice! for I have taken root in you and made My Home in you; and in you I shall grow, if you allow Me;

pray now with Me, My child, to the Father, repeat after Me this prayer:

Father,
blessed be Your Name;
since Your Beloved Son, Jesus Christ,
came to the world, not to condemn it,
but to save the world,
have Mercy upon us,
look at Your Son’s Holy Wounds,
that are wide open now
and remember the price He has paid for us,
to redeem all of us,
remember His Sacred Wounds,
and the two Hearts You Yourself united in Love
and who suffered together,
this One of the Immaculate Conception
and Your Beloved Son,

O Father,
remember His Promise now
and send us the Advocate, in full force,
the Holy Spirit of Truth,
to remind the world of the Truth
and of Your Son’s docility, humbleness,
obedience and great Love,

Father, the time has come,
when the reign of division cries out for Peace and Unity,
the time has come
that Your Son’s wounded Body
cries out for Righteousness,
that of which the world has not known yet;
but through the Immaculate Heart of Mary,
and the Sacred Heart of Jesus,
give us, Precious Father,
this Peace in our hearts,
and fulfil the Scriptures
by fulfilling Your Beloved Son’s Prayer to You:
that we may all be one,
one in the Divine Holy Trinity,
so that we worship and praise You
all, around one single Tabernacle,
amen;

My daughter, love Me as I love you, love one another as I love you; be blessed, come;”

Tuesday of the Second Week of Advent
Lectionary: 182

Reading 1 Is 40:1-11

Comfort, give comfort to my people,
says your God.
Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and proclaim to her
that her service is at an end,
her guilt is expiated;
Indeed, she has received from the hand of the LORD
double for all her sins.A voice cries out:
In the desert prepare the way of the LORD!
Make straight in the wasteland a highway for our God!
Every valley shall be filled in,
every mountain and hill shall be made low;
The rugged land shall be made a plain,
the rough country, a broad valley.
Then the glory of the LORD shall be revealed,
and all people
shall see it together;
for the mouth of the LORD has spoken.
A voice says, “Cry out!”
I answer, “What shall I cry out?”

“All flesh is grass,
and all their glory like the flower of the field.
The grass withers, the flower wilts,
when the breath of the LORD blows upon it.
So then, the people is the grass.
Though the grass withers and the flower wilts,
the word of our God stands forever.”
Go up onto a high mountain,
Zion, herald of glad tidings;
Cry out at the top of your voice,
Jerusalem, herald of good news!
Fear not to cry out
and say to the cities of Judah:
Here is your God!
Here comes with power
the Lord GOD,
who rules by his strong arm;
Here is his reward with him,
his recompense before him.
Like a shepherd he feeds his flock;
in his arms he gathers the lambs,
Carrying them in his bosom,
and leading the ewes with care.

Responsorial Psalm Ps 96:1-2, 3 and 10ac, 11-12, 13

R.(see Isaiah 40:10ab)  The Lord our God comes with power.
Sing to the LORD a new song;
sing to the LORD, all you lands.
Sing to the LORD; bless his name;
announce his salvation, day after day.
R. The Lord our God comes with power.
Tell his glory among the nations;
among all peoples, his wondrous deeds.
Say among the nations: The LORD is king;
he governs the peoples with equity.
R. The Lord our God comes with power.
Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice;
let the sea and what fills it resound;
let the plains be joyful and all that is in them!
Then let all the trees of the forest rejoice.
R. The Lord our God comes with power.
They shall exult before the LORD, for he comes;
for he comes to rule the earth.
He shall rule the world with justice
and the peoples with his constancy.
R. The Lord our God comes with power.

Alleluia

R. Alleluia, alleluia.
The day of the Lord is near;
Behold, he comes to save us.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel Mt 18:12-14

Jesus said to his disciples:
“What is your opinion?
If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray,
will he not leave the ninety-nine in the hills
and go in search of the stray?
And if he finds it, amen, I say to you, he rejoices more over it
than over the ninety-nine that did not stray.
In just the same way, it is not the will of your heavenly Father
that one of these little ones be lost.””

Orthodox:
Now we know that the law is good, if one uses it legitimately. This means understanding that the law is laid down not for the innocent but for the lawless and disobedient, for the godless and sinful, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their father or mother, for murderers, 10 fornicators, sodomites *, slave traders, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to the sound teaching 11 that conforms to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which he entrusted to me.

Gratitude for Mercy

12 I am grateful to Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because he judged me faithful and appointed me to his service, 13 even though I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and a man of violence. But I received mercy because I had acted ignorantly in unbelief, 14 and the grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.

Jesus Cures a Blind Man at Bethsaida

22 They came to Bethsaida. Some people[a] brought a blind man to him and begged him to touch him. 23 He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village; and when he had put saliva on his eyes and laid his hands on him, he asked him, “Can you see anything?” 24 And the man[b] looked up and said, “I can see people, but they look like trees, walking.” 25 Then Jesus[c] laid his hands on his eyes again; and he looked intently and his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly. 26 Then he sent him away to his home, saying, “Do not even go into the village.”[d] …”

“Give Me Your Heart
February1, 1995
 

(Zagreb – Croatia)

Write: peace be with you; all day long, I have been with you and I have laid My Hand upon you: My people, My inheritance, My seed, turn to Me, make peace with Me; make peace with Me 1I have loved you from all eternity; go back to Me and I will return to you; Set a harvest of love to get love; set a harvest of peace and you will inherit My Peace; sun, blessed with My Soul, a harvest of reconciliation and you will get My Glory…

Don’t cry over material things 2; raise your eyes to heaven and may your hearts seek My Heavenly Laws so that through them My Kingdom of Heaven may come into your hearts and may My Will be made in your hearts as it is in the hearts of all saints in Heaven; on this day, I cry as I once cried out in Jerusalem: “If only you knew the Message of Peace which I still offer you today, you would not fail to grasp it”; but these things are hidden from the educated and the wise and are revealed to mere children; The Kingdom of Heaven is revealed to the simple and the humble;

correct your hearts and, in the end, you will get your reward; and if you say, “What can we offer You now?”, I say to you, “Offer Me your heart and I will come with the help of your lack of faith; open your heart and I will turn it into a heaven for Me, your God, and in which I can be glorified”;

come and eat the fruit I offer you today, while there is still time; Come to Me; Your Master is well on his way home; therefore, I say to you: make peace with Me and be one in My Name;

I bless you all in My Name, leaving the Sigh of My Love on your foreheads;”

Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Lectionary: 689

Reading 1 Gn 3:9-15, 20

After the man, Adam, had eaten of the tree,
the LORD God called to the man and asked him, “Where are you?”
He
answered, “I heard you in the garden;
but I was afraid, because I was naked,
so I hid myself.”
Then he asked, “Who told you that you were naked?
You have eaten, then,
from the tree of which I had forbidden
you to eat!
The man
replied, “The woman whom you put here with me—
she gave me fruit from the tree, and so
I ate it.
The LORD God then asked the woman,
“Why did you do such a thing?”
The woman
answered, “The serpent tricked me into it, so I ate it.Then the LORD God said tothe serpent:
“Because you have done this, you shall be banned
from all the animals
and from all the wild creatures;
on your belly shall you crawl,
and dirt shall you eat
all the days of your life.
I will put enmity between you and the woman,
and between your offspring and hers;
he will
strike at your head,
while you strike at his heel.”
The man called his wife Eve,
because she became the mother of all the living.

Responsorial Psalm Ps 98:1, 2-3ab, 3cd-4

R.(1) Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous deeds.
Sing to the LORD a new song,
for he has done wondrous deeds;
His right hand has won victory for him,
his holy arm.
R. Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous deeds.
The LORD has made his salvation known:
in the sight of the nations he has revealed his justice.
He has remembered his kindness and his faithfulness
toward the house of Israel.
R. Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous deeds.
All the ends of the earth have seen
the salvation by our God.
Sing joyfully to the LORD, all you lands;
break into song; sing praise.
R. Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous deeds.

Reading 2 Eph 1:3-6, 11-12

Brothers and sisters:
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who has blessed us in Christ
with every spiritual blessing in the heavens,
as he chose us in him, before the foundation of the world,
to be holy and without blemish before him.
In love he destined us for adoption to himself through Jesus Christ,
in accord with the favor of his will,
for the praise of the glory of his grace
that he granted us in the beloved.In him we were also chosen,
destined in accord with the purpose of the One
who accomplishes all things according to the intention of his will,
so that we might exist for the
praise of his glory,
we who first hoped in Christ.

Alleluia See Lk 1:28

R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you;
blessed are you among women.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel Lk 1:26-38

The angel Gabriel was sent from God
to a town of Galilee called Nazareth,
to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph,
of the house of David,
and the virgin’s name was Mary.
And coming to her, he said,
“Hail, full of grace! The Lord is with you.”
But she was greatly troubled at what was said
and pondered what sort of greeting this might be.
Then the angel said to her,
“Do not be afraid, Mary,
for you have found favor with God.
Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a
son,
and you shall name him Jesus.
He will be great and will be called
Son of the Most High,
and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father,
and he will rule over the house of Jacob forever,
and of his Kingdom there will be no end.”
But Mary said to the angel,

“How can this be,
since I have no relations with a man?”
And the angel said to her
in reply,
“The Holy Spirit will come upon you,
and the power of the Most High will overshadow you.
Therefore the child to be born
will be called holy, the
Son of God.
And behold, Elizabeth, your relative,
has also conceived a
son in her old age,
and this is the sixth month for her who was called barren;
for nothing will be impossible for God.”
Mary said, “Behold, I am the
handmaid of the Lord.
May it be done to me according to your word.”
Then the angel departed from her.”

To Timothy, my loyal child in the faith:

Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

Warning against False Teachers

I urge you, as I did when I was on my way to Macedonia, to remain in Ephesus so that you may instruct certain people not to teach any different doctrine, and not to occupy themselves with myths and endless genealogies that promote speculations rather than the divine training[a] that is known by faith. But the aim of such instruction is love that comes from a pure heart, a good conscience, and sincere faith. Some people have deviated from these and turned to meaningless talk, desiring to be teachers of the law, without understanding either what they are saying or the things about which they make assertions.”

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Timothy+1%3A1-7&version=NRSVCE;NR2006;SCH2000;ERV-HU;BDS

The Demand for a Sign

11 The Pharisees came and began to argue with him, asking him for a sign from heaven, to test him. 12 And he sighed deeply in his spirit and said, “Why does this generation ask for a sign? Truly I tell you, no sign will be given to this generation.” 13 And he left them, and getting into the boat again, he went across to the other side.

The Yeast of the Pharisees and of Herod

14 Now the disciples[a] had forgotten to bring any bread; and they had only one loaf with them in the boat. 15 And he cautioned them, saying, “Watch out—beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod.”[b] 16 They said to one another, “It is because we have no bread.” 17 And becoming aware of it, Jesus said to them, “Why are you talking about having no bread? Do you still not perceive or understand? Are your hearts hardened? 18 Do you have eyes, and fail to see? Do you have ears, and fail to hear? And do you not remember? 19 When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you collect?” They said to him, “Twelve.” 20 “And the seven for the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you collect?” And they said to him, “Seven.” 21 Then he said to them, “Do you not yet understand?”

The beast’s reign over humanity has come to an end.

The Book of Truth:


Wednesday, August 13th, 2014, 16:03My dearly beloved daughter the rage of Satan has never been so intense as he inflicts suffering of every kind upon God’s children, in every corner of the world. The greater the disruption the greater is his presence and influence. But he is powerless on his own and it is only through the influence, which he asserts upon those who are open to him, that he can cause such diabolical persecutions. The more souls he captures the worse the persecution is and the more he torments. When people who are loyal to Me allow him to create confusion and despair in their hearts, the venom which spills forth is the worst kind. It is then that they turn on each other, fight and divide until they destroy one another.Always be wary of the divisions you witness in the world, whether it be in politics, religion or amongst My followers, for it will always be rooted in the haven of the beast, whose reign over humanity has come to an end. He will, however, not stop for one second in his plan to destroy all allegiance to Me, Jesus Christ.

It is only when you accept My Word, as I give it to you now, will you find the grace to ask Me to guide you through this devious minefield. Not one of you is strong enough in your faith to fight the influence of evil. Without daily prayer, where you beg for My Help, you will not be able to remain close by My Side. But when I bestow such graces upon you, you will become courageous and have the strength to stay loyal to Me. Only then will the Truth sustain you.Your Jesus”

Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary – Mass During the Day
Lectionary: 622

Reading 1 Rv 11:19a; 12:1-6a, 10ab

God’s temple in heaven was opened,
and the ark of his covenant could be seen in the temple.A great sign appeared in the sky, a woman clothed with the sun,
with the moon under her feet,
and on her head a crown of twelve stars.
She was with child and wailed aloud in pain as she labored to give birth.
Then another sign appeared in the sky;
it was a huge red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns,
and on its heads were seven diadems.
Its tail
swept away a third of the stars in the sky
and
hurled them down to the earth.
Then the dragon stood before the woman about to give birth,
to
devour her child when she gave birth.
She gave birth to a son, a male child,
destined to rule all the nations with an iron rod.
Her child was caught up to God and his throne.
The woman herself fled into the desert
where she had a place prepared by God.
Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say:
“Now have salvation and power come,
and the Kingdom of our God
and the authority of his Anointed One.”

Responsorial Psalm Ps 45:10, 11, 12, 16

R.(10bc) The queen stands at your right hand, arrayed in gold.
The queen takes her place at your right hand in gold of Ophir.
R. The queen stands at your right hand, arrayed in gold.
Hear, O daughter, and see; turn your ear,
forget your people and your father’s house.
R. The queen stands at your right hand, arrayed in gold.
So shall the king desire your beauty;
for he is your lord.
R. The queen stands at your right hand, arrayed in gold.
They are borne in with gladness and joy;
they enter the palace of the king.
R. The queen stands at your right hand, arrayed in gold.

Reading 2 1 Cor 15:20-27

Brothers and sisters:
Christ has been raised from the dead,
the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
For since death came through man,
the resurrection of the dead came also through man.
For just as in Adam all die,
so too in Christ shall all be brought to life,
but each one in proper order:
Christ the firstfruits;
then, at his coming, those who belong to Christ;

then comes the end,
when he hands over the Kingdom to his God and Father,
when he has
destroyed every sovereignty
and every
authority and power.
For he must
reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.
The last enemy to be
destroyed is death,
for “he subjected everything under his feet.”

Mary is taken up to heaven;

Gospel Lk 1:39-56

Mary set out
and traveled to the hill country in haste
to a town of Judah,
where she entered the house of Zechariah
and greeted Elizabeth.
When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting,
the infant leaped in her womb,
and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit,
cried out in a loud voice and said,
“Blessed are you among women,
and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
And how does this happen to me,
that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
For at the moment the sound of your greeting reached my ears,
the infant in my womb leaped for joy.
Blessed are you who believed
that what was spoken to you by the Lord
would be fulfilled.”And Mary said:”My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord;
my spirit rejoices in God my Savior
for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant.
From this day all generations will call me blessed:
the Almighty has done great things for me
and holy is his Name.
He has mercy on those who fear him
in every generation.
He has shown the strength of his arm,
and has scattered the proud in their conceit.
He has cast down the mighty from their thrones,
and has lifted up the lowly.
He has filled the hungry with good things,
and the rich he has sent away empty.
He has come to the help of his servant Israel
for he has remembered his promise of mercy,
the promise he made to our fathers,
to Abraham and his children forever.”

Mary remained with her about three months
and then returned to her home.”

The Closed Gate

44.1 Then he brought me back to the outer gate of the sanctuary, which faces east; and it was shut. The Lord said to me: This gate shall remain shut; it shall not be opened, and no one shall enter by it; for the Lord, the God of Israel, has entered by it; therefore it shall remain shut. Only the prince, because he is a prince, may sit in it to eat food before the Lord; he shall enter by way of the vestibule of the gate, and shall go out by the same way.

Then he brought me by way of the north gate to the front of the temple; and I looked, and lo! the glory of the Lord filled the temple of the Lord; and I fell upon my face.”

She has slaughtered her animals, she has mixed her wine,
    she has also set her table.
She has sent out her servant-girls, she calls
    from the highest places in the town,
“You that are simple, turn in here!”
    To those without sense she says,
“Come, eat of my bread
    and drink of the wine I have mixed.
Lay aside immaturity,[a] and live,
    and walk in the way of insight.”

General Maxims

Whoever corrects a scoffer wins abuse;
    whoever rebukes the wicked gets hurt.
A scoffer who is rebuked will only hate you;
    the wise, when rebuked, will love you.
Give instruction[b] to the wise, and they will become wiser still;
    teach the righteous and they will gain in learning.
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
    and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight.
11 For by me your days will be multiplied,
    and years will be added to your life. …

 

Mary Visits Elizabeth

39 In those days Mary set out and went with haste to a Judean town in the hill country, 40 where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. 41 When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the child leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit 42 and exclaimed with a loud cry, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. 43 And why has this happened to me, that the mother of my Lord comes to me? 44 For as soon as I heard the sound of your greeting, the child in my womb leaped for joy. 45 And blessed is she who believed that there would be[a] a fulfillment of what was spoken to her by the Lord.”

Mary’s Song of Praise

46 And Mary[b] said,

“My soul magnifies the Lord,
47     and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
48 for he has looked with favor on the lowliness of his servant.
    Surely, from now on all generations will call me blessed;
49 for the Mighty One has done great things for me,
    and holy is his name.
50 His mercy is for those who fear him
    from generation to generation.
51 He has shown strength with his arm;
    he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts.
52 He has brought down the powerful from their thrones,
    and lifted up the lowly;
53 he has filled the hungry with good things,
    and sent the rich away empty.
54 He has helped his servant Israel,
    in remembrance of his mercy,
55 according to the promise he made to our ancestors,
    to Abraham and to his descendants forever.”

56 And Mary remained with her about three months and then returned to her home.”
