Vassula Ryden - True Life In God
Her power reminding everyone of this
rich, living legacy. There are awe-inspiring
passages in which Christ is expressing
His divine
love of Mary.
Signs such as
physical or spiritual
healings
follow Vassula’s
mission and
many individual
supernatural
experiences are
reported. Most who come in those gatherings
are deeply touched and are aware
of God's invisible but palpable presence.
The True Life In God messages, so far,
have been translated by volunteers into
over 40 languages. They are written in
such a clear and direct language that anyone
of reading age can understand them.
At the same time, their content is so rich
and profound that brilliant theologians
have been inspired to write books about
the spirituality of the messages.
God Himself has chosen to name these
divine messages:
True Life in God
Throughout the ages, God has sent us
messages through ordinary people (from
Moses to the Disciples to the children
of Lourdes) and even persecutors of the
faith (Saul who received the name of
Paul after his conversion) who were so
moved to preach the True Word.
As time passed, we heard less and less of
modern day prophesy, saints and visionaries...
God still sends these messages
and ordinary people still receive.
Today, we are fortunate enough, to have
these messages of God’s love for us.
Read them, pray upon them and let your
spirit believe.
The Word will help re-awaken the
Gospel stories in your memory and
unlock the mysteries of the passages; it
will inspire your soul and enlighten it
and truly allow you to be closer to God.
It will help enable you to find the True
Life in God.

The Divine messages are received by
Vassula Rydén who was born in Egypt on
January 18, 1942 into a Greek-Orthodox
family.
Like most people nowadays, she had
never cared about God or the spiritual
life. She never imagined that one day
God would unexpectedly reveal Himself
to her in 1985, while she was living still
in Bangladesh with her Swedish husband
and two sons.
Vassula was once an accomplished
woman in the highest spheres of society,
an inspired painter, fulfilled in social
relations and successes, a tennis champion
and fashion model in the capital city
of Bangladesh --- religion was not a part
of her life.
Vassula’s life changed during the first
initiation that was undertaken and accomplished
by her Guardian Angel Daniel.
Why did God call someone so limited,
so disinterested and ignorant in church
matters, who never aspired for God,
to receive a reminder of His Word?
Vassula herself asked God these questions
and His reply was the following:
“I chose you, because of your wretchedness.
Through your wretchedness I
shall show My mercy, through your
nothingness I shall show My authority
and My power and that I Am, so remain
a nothing…”
The content of
the messages and
Vassula’s testimony
inspire,
elevate and provide
encouragement.
It is easy to
understand why
these messages
have caused so
many striking conversions. The parallels
of the messages and those of the New
Testament accounts are similar in the
way Jesus loves us and how He expresses
His spousal intimacy with us on a
level which our ability to understand can
not yet fully fathom. The tone expressed
in the spousal terms is characteristic of
mysticism, but manifested as an outpouring
of the ineffable love of Christ.
The fact that Vassula, without ever having
received any catechetical instruction,
let alone theological formation, is able
to write about such profound spiritual
matters without committing any errors,
is itself a powerful confirmation of the
authenticity of her messages. So, even
as Jesus called to the fishermen and the
tax collector, so too, does He call other
lay people.
Vassula receives in all of this absolutely
no personal royalties, fees or benefit
for her efforts. Her reward is not one of
financial or worldly gain.
Whether in Asia, the Americas, Australia,
Africa or Europe, she is welcomed
by crowds of people of all ages from
every imaginable social class, both
Christian and non-Christian. Other
religions, like the Israeli Jews, as well
as the Buddhist monks of Hiroshima,
invited Vassula to give her testimony.
The attendance of her meetings
has reached up to 400,000 people
and among them in some countries
were also many Muslims, Hindus,
Buddhists and Jews.
Since 1988, Vassula has been invited
to speak in over 60 countries. Among
those who come to hear her testimony
are not only lay people, but
also their spiritual leaders: priests,
ministers, monks, nuns, bishops,
archbishops, cardinals, apostolic
nuncios, metropolitans and archimandrites.
Four of the Patriarchates
already have received her work.
In over 800 public presentations,
Vassula expresses the same words
given to her by God the Father. What
stands out is how the Creator, in a
highly personal way, offers His revelation.
Christ and the Holy Spirit,
also offer Their revelation.
Throughout these messages, the Virgin
Mary appears as our Mother. She
joins Her Motherly counsels to those
of Her Son. In the messages given to
Vassula, it is clear that Christ is honouring
His Mother and reveals to us
