3. The Uniqueness of the Spirituality of True Life in God
By Fr. Tony Sullivan
Even powerful spiritualities like St. Augustine, St. John of the Cross, St Teresa of Avila, St Clement of Alexandria, St. Gregory of Nyssa, etc., are not as comprehensive as the spirituality of TLIG, and they cover only a fraction of the topics that TLIG does.
All the above spiritual writers were either Priests or religious, who were taught theology and the Scriptures, they also were part of the Church's establishment and were regularly receiving the Sacraments. Vassula, for thirty years took no part in the life of the Church and therefore received none of the Church's Sacraments. She also had no knowledge or instruction of theology and the Scriptures. Yet the spirituality of TLIG is saturated with the Scriptures, and contains no errors of doctrine as Fr.Edward O'Connor, who for forty years taught dogmatic theology at the University of Notre Dame USA, has stated in his book, Touched by the Spirit, published by Trinitas.
The Spirituality of TLIG is not meditations or intellectual reasonings by Vassula, she is given words and understandings directly from God, called "inner locutions", as it says in the Messages, November 28,1989, "I shall infuse in you learnings and discernment". The word infuse meaning coming directly from God and not Vassula's mind, Vassula being God's instrument, through which God speaks to us today. The Messages constantly tell us that all these Messages contain nothing new, but are reminders of the one Revelation given through the Scriptures and Sacred Tradition, as it says in the Message, July 30,1999, "they are given for a better explanation to the Revelation given to you"
One of the many unique characteristics of TLIG is that it contains individual locutions from God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. I know of no other spirituality that has such individual locutions from the Blessed Trinity, and maintaining the Triune nature of the Trinity, as it says in the Message, October 19,1998, "We encircled Our territory, in Our one Substance and one Power and one Knowledge We are one God alone,yes, with one Will and Dominion" and again in the Message, Odes of the Holy Trinity February-April 2003, "We are one Substance and one Power and one Knowledge and since We are one God We converse and give knowledge in the same manner and the same terms; this great knowledge is transmitted to you filled with love"
TLIG contains hundreds of teachings about Our Blessed Lady from God, that contains all the many titles of Our Blessed Lady, such as the New Eve, Woman of the Apocalypse, Queen of Heaven, Mother of God, Immaculate Heart. TLIG also contains a least a hundred Messages by locution from our Blessed Lady where she tells us, as she did at the Wedding Feast of Cana, do what Jesus tells you you do. TLIG also tells us how important Our Blessed Lady is in His Divine Plan, as it says in the Message, April 3, 1996,"I suffice by Myself, as you know, but it is through Mary's Virginal Heart that My Redemptive Plan begun, and it will be again through this Holy Heart that I will accomplish MY Salvation Plan". Again I know of no other spirituality that has such a comprehensive teaching on Our Blessed Lady.
TLIG contains all the characteristics of biblical prophecy. These characteristics of Bible prophets as spelt out by Dr. Scott Hahn, who lectures at the Catholic University of Stubenville, USA are.
- Judgement - blessings and curses
- Remnant - who will restore God's Church
- Restoration - God is going to rebuild His Church
- New Exodus - out of sin
- Coming of Messiah - who will restore and unite His Church and nations
- Day of the Lord - end of an era not end of world.
1. Judgement - blessings and curses
Isaiah Chapter 29 Verses , 18-21
"That day the deaf
Will hear the words of the book
And, delivered from shadow and darkness
The eyes of the blind will see
The lowly will find ever more joy in Yahweh
For the tyrant will be no more, the scoffer has vanished
And all those on the look-out for evil have been destroyed
Those who incriminate others by their words,
Those who lay traps for the arbitrator at the gate
And groundlessly deprive the upright of fair judgement
This why Yahweh, God of the House of Jacob,
Abraham’s redeemer, says this
"No longer shall Jacob be disappointed
No more shall his face grow pale
For when he sees his children
My creatures, home again with him
He will acknowledge my name as holy
He will acknowledge the Holy One of Jacob to be holy
And will hold the God of Israel in awe
Erring spirits will learn to understand
And murmurers accept instruction"
2. Remnant - who will restore God's Church
Zephaniah Chapter 3 Verses 12-13
"But in you I shall leave surviving
A humble and lowly people
And those who are left in Israel
Will take refuge in the name of Yahweh
They will do no wrong
Will tell no lies
Nor will a deceitful tongue
Be found in their mouths
But they will be able to graze and rest
With no one to alarm them
3. Restoration - God is going to rebuild His Church
Isaiah Chapter 54 Verses 11–13
"Unhappy creature, storm-tossed, Un-pitied
Look. I shall lay your stone on agate
And your foundations on sapphires
I shall make your battlements rubies
Your gateways firestone
And your entire wall precious stones
All your children will be taught by Yahweh
And great will be your children’s prosperity
In saving justice you will be made firm
Free from oppression you will have nothing to fear"
4. New Exodus - out of sin
Jeremiah Chapter 31 Verses 33-34
"No this is the covenant I shall make with the House of Israel when those days come. Yahweh declares. Within them I shall plant my Law, writing it on their hearts. Then I shall be their God and they will be my people. There will be no further need for everyone to teach neighbour or brother, saying, "Learn to know Yahweh!" No, they will all know me, from the least to the greatest"
Ezekiel Chapter 18 Verses 21-23
"If the wicked, however, renounce all sins he has committed, respects my laws and is law-abiding and upright, he will most certainly live; he will not die. None of the crimes he committed will be remembered against him from then on; he will most certainly live because of his upright actions. Would I take pleasure in the death of the wicked – declares Yahweh – and not prefer to see him renounce his wickedness and live?
5. Coming of Messiah - who will restore and unite His Church and nations
Zechariah Chapter 9 Verses 9-11
"Rejoice heart and soul, daughter of Zion!
Shout for joy, daughter of Jerusalem!
Look, your king is appearing,
He is vindicated and victorious
Humble and riding on a donkey
He will banish chariots from Ephraim
And horses from Jerusalem
The bow of war will be banished
He will proclaim peace to the nations
His empire will stretch from sea to sea
From the River yo the limits of the earth"
6. Day of the Lord – end of an era not end of world
Isaiah Chapter 65 Verses 17-19
"For look, I am going to create new heaven and new earth
And the past will not be remembered
And will come no more to mind
Rather be joyful, be glad forever
At what I am creating,
For look, I am creating Jerusalem to be "Joy"
And my people to be "Gladness"
I shall be joyful in Jerusalem
And I shall rejoice in my people"
The uniqueness of the Spirituality of TLIG is a big subject, in the future many, many books will be written on this subject. This article is just a taste of the uniqueness that is this great gift of HOPE that God is giving us today. Like no other spirituality I have known, it touches people all around the world of other faiths and no faiths.
