Notebook 109 True Life in God 1119 how can one elaborate a concept of what is given in a vision of such inexpressible splendour? without grace and a full revelation given from God Himself, what is unseen by the eye will remain always unseen and well hidden; but today, in our days, it so pleases God to give us all the assurance as He had given His disciples then and His apostles, of the powerful presence of the Holy Spirit; the Holy Spirit of Grace that will show us the path of virtues that lead souls into the Mystical union with the Bridegroom; I am, My beloved, the Spirit of holiness giving to each one of you a variety of gifts, these are the jewels of heaven, the treasures that are distributed freely to sanctify My temples; everything that is distributed, is distributed by grace through Me; I have not descended1 to inflict punishment on anyone of you, but instead I come through this noble Ode to wed you, and as a bridegroom who lavishes his bride with jewels, I am offering you to adorn you with My Divine gifts for our matrimonial ceremony; I am not moved by eloquence of words or affected by their utterance, but I delight in a contrite heart; so you who seek Me come and learn: if you do not test Me2 but come to Me with simplicity of heart, then I, like a river, will flow in you; I will teach you how to cultivate intimacy with Us; with sweetness and tenderness I will instruct you, schooling you to walk with Us and to be meek to My lights and movements; and as you have seen Me, Vassula, in the vision, My Sovereignty is inexpressible and My 1As I saw in my vision. 2Ws. 1:2. Splendour surpasses human understanding; ah Vassula, do not let Me hear from you again, ‘of what purpose do I serve...’ 3 I have, with My Breath animated your lifeless members! continue to perform good deeds in every manner and do not fear; We had asked you to devote your life for others and so you have; with delight We have trained you and educated you to have Us as the principle of your life and since then We have shown you that you no longer belong to yourself but to the One who robed you with His Light, moving you in Me, inhaling in Me; whenever you cried out to Me: “I am slipping,” have I not supported you? have I not consoled you? I said that when you will be planted in the House of Yahweh you will flourish in His Courts and that you will have free access to go in and out in Our Courts, while your body will be moving among men your heart and mind will be enraptured in the luminous light of heaven; if anyone, 4 Vassula, lifts his eyebrow to you and narrows his eyes and asks you: “what do you mean when you say, we too can possess God? this cannot be done, nor said;” I tell you, unless one has experienced the Divine Presence in his heart, the radiance and the Luminous Light of My presence within him, he will never know nor comprehend what is sealed and hidden, for it is through Me that those mysteries are revealed; the door of Wisdom will only open to a contrite heart and to those who in spite of their impoverished soul will fulfil the Commandments; in these souls will I reveal Myself; 3 Like sometimes, often perhaps, I believe, that the work I do for our Lord does not reach the Lord’s demands. 4One priest, after hearing from us that God told us that not only He can possess us but that He desires us as well to possess Him, he was shocked.
