998 True Life in God Notebook 97 with Me and the Holy Spirit, immersing it into the eternal joys of heaven, and into Our delights; now I am telling you, everything where you are1 passes away like a shadow, but My Words will never pass away; 2 “I shall augment your zeal for My House and the fire I shall put within you shall disarm the great; let this Source within you never run dry; may you continue eagerly and with avidity to defend the Truth and My Church which I bought with My Own Blood; let the scourge of your persecutors never discourage you or wear you out, but let this vile act done to you make you stronger instead, by inhaling from My Mouth the graces you need to keep your soul tranquil and in peace;” ah, generation, greater profit than this Book3 for your so miserable times you could not have received; greater gift for My Church for its renewal She could not have received, but once more My Church is failing Me, for She has not understood My intentions .... come, Vassula, the Anointed One will provide you shelter in His Sacred Heart; love Me equally as I love you; come, My Own, and perfume My Heart; I promise you that one day I will take you to see the sweet fruits of your labours and you will rejoice .... now come to Me and recite your prayers, I am always moved by your prayers; come and inebriate Me with your prayers; 1That means on earth. 2Here our Lord started to say the following words as one who utters an oath, in solemnity but at the same time as a command. 3Jesus means the “True Life in God” volumes.
