A Purification

July 27-30, 1987

I come with a feeling of desolation, I feel God is not so near as before.

grieve not My Vassula I will clarify to you all this, I am near you

28. 7. 1987

(still with this feeling of desolation) Jesus, I am so afraid to be misleading people when I tell them that I feel sometimes your hand caressing my head, maybe I'm wrong? It would be terrible if I'm wrong!

grieve not, believe in my Redemptive Love I have caressed you so many times in the past as well as now, no Vassula, you have not imagined it, it is I, Jesus

29. 7. 1987

(still with this desolate feeling.) Jesus?

I am I have told you that My bonds are eternal bonds, what have you to fear? erroneously you believe that because you are not used as before I am less with you, or that I have forsaken you, or that I am angry with you, no; no Vassula, it is none of these reasons, My Love has not changed, I have not deserted you, I will continue inspiring you

30. 7. 1987

(I'm still worried, why can't I feel God as before?) Jesus?

I am; come look at Me. look, yes

(I looked into God's eyes and - melted.)

regardless of what you are have I not raised you and placed you in My Heart? Vassula, My Vassula will I ever forsake you? ¹ reflect, I am Love and until I come to deliver you I will pour My Love into you ela thipla mou, im� o Christos. ²

Vassula, come; I will clarify your groundless fears of desolation it is insight I am teaching you, do not take this as abandonment from Me; write;

I am giving you My grace to reach a higher degree of meditation while at the same time I am purifying your soul for this higher attainment; be assured My beloved that I am with you and never far; I am stimulating your love to Me and strengthening you a deeper devotion and a fuller love for Me will be the results of all this

Vassula, I desire you to achieve this higher degree of meditation, you must grow, beloved remove all shadows of doubt from your mind, - shadows that distress you; I want you to progress, I want your soul to attain perfection and purity, I want to advance your soul into this higher and more delicate light, your soul thus cleansed will be able to offer Me virtues shelled in perfection and purity;

from meditation you will reach in a higher level of contemplation this aridity and feeling of desolation which leaves you to think all is gone, it is because I withdraw from you part of My Light, do not fear, though, be glad you feel the difference; by withdrawing part of My Light I reinforce your desire of seeking Me and thus I infuse you with more delicate Light in your intellect; yet, all Light is never totally withdrawn, for I always leave you with some Light for you to be able to see and follow it and to sustain you from stumbling;

I give you this vigour to continue seeking Me more fervently than ever seek in Me My desires Vassula, I will never ever leave you, why, I am your Heavenly Father who wants you to grow and flourish and these are My Ways, have no fear but be alert, never fall asleep, be seeking from Me you will learn I am your Teacher love Me Vassula, smile at Me when you see Me and take My Hand when I give it to you, have My Peace and trust Me come I love you

O Father thank You for relieving me and explaining to me all this. thank you for Your teachings. I love You!

1 He said this in so much sweetness that God only can talk in this way
2 Greek: 'come near Me, I am Christ'. (Jesus was trying to reassure me and I somewhat felt better.
