1. Happy Birthday Vassula and the Start of Unity Week!
The Blessings
My Lord?
I Am; peace be with you;
I have shown you My Omnipotence in many ways; all these years I have not deprived you from My Light nor of My Mercy; all I want from you, My sister, is love; love for love, heart for heart; this is My motto for you;
- may you continue to make progress in the path of unity and that My kiss to you refreshes you anew; allow Me to remind you to be in My field like a lily, free from any anxieties or worries;
- may you progress in the path of unity you share with Me and may it widen even more now for My glory;
- let My fatherly kiss console your heart and fill your spirit with zeal for My House;
- let every member of yours sweetly repose in My Heart to obtain strength, perseverance and interior delights of well-being;
- may your labours be fruitful and your activities done in My Name, anointed with the oil of the Source of Life;
- may you be beneficial to the distressed hearts and equally good and tender to the worn down;
- let Me remain dearer to you than anyone or anything that exists on this earth so that through this act of resignation I will overlook men's wickedness so that they can repent; 1
- may your oppressors who govern in vainglory and pride, accusing you without mercy in their lack of sound judgment, calumniating My gifts I have given you, have their sins fall on their own head;
- let Me augment in you so that when your friends watch you, they may see Me instead of yourself, thus becoming the real reason why they love you;
- I will continue to give Myself more to you so long as you allow My Divine Will to remain in you, relying on It and renouncing your will to Mine;
- may you be blessed for having withdrawn yourself from all that attached you to this world and preferred the Source of Divine Sweetness;
- may your soul be even more motivated now by zeal for the glory of My House in drawing It with cords of love into a spiritual unity, then My Divine Image will be imprinted in It fully, shedding My Light in It once more;
- may you be the perfect icon of unity, graciously drawing everyone to live a true life in Me; by this imperial act of love I would be receiving on My Head the imperial crown of unity;
- may every violent act and hatred coming from man on you be replaced by blessings from Us; 2 these wastrels will have to answer Me in the day of Judgment;
- let every fibre of your heart live for Me giving you enthusiasm to work for Me, and as a slave who claims no wages, you too will never claim any wages but will give heart and soul for the Kingdom of Heaven;
hear Me, I have created you and placed you on earth only for this noble work; bone of My Bone, flesh of My Flesh, remain united and one spirit with Me and meditate on all the vestments I vested you with to procure free access to walk in and out of My Courts; an awesome mystery indeed it is, surpassing all human knowledge and understanding by most of My creation; but I, the heavenly Master, had My Eyes fixed on you and My Hand on yours in order to embroider together with you golden roses, giving them life to spread their sweet fragrance, perfuming not only the Church but the entire cosmos;
without the cooperation of this divine grace I have given you, you would have remained beggared; but now, through divine grace, I have cloistered you entirely in My Heart! having thus made you noble after having joined you to Us; filled and illumined by Our sublime Light, We have raised Our Sceptre and marked on you Our Name to serve Our House and address Our poem of Love to the entire world;
- may your tongue be as ready as the pen of a busy scribe and never tire to witness, even among flames;
I, Jesus, bless you; ic;
1 Through the act of resignation, God's Mercy falls on man, drawing them to repentance.

2. OneDate for Easter Group News
Pope Francis and Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I of Constantinople are promoting unity of the Christian Churches, and the unification of the dates of Easter as a significant step towards full communion between the Eastern and Western Churches. (See: https://www.facebook.com/onechristonedate).
Vassula Rydén, a Greek Orthodox who receives the divine messages of True Life in God calling for unity of the Christian Churches, was given a message on May 2, 2001 from Christ, who asked: “… oh, when would I see the House of the East greet the House of the West with a holy kiss?…” (See:http://www.tlig.org/en/messages/1066/; www.tlig.org)
Most years, Christians celebrate Easter—Christ’s Passion, Death and Resurrection and the most important mystery of the Christian Faith—on different dates. In 2015, Catholics and Protestants will celebrate Easter on Sunday, April 5, and the Orthodox one week later on Sunday, April 12.
Throughout the year but especially during the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, January 18-25 in the Northern Hemisphere between the feasts of St. Peter and St. Paul, the OneDate for Easter group appeals to the laity to pray for the Pope and the Patriarchs as they continue the dialogue for unity, and to sign the OneDate for Easter Petition.
“The laity derive the right and duty with respect to the apostolate from their union with Christ their Head. Incorporated into Christ’s Mystical Body through baptism and strengthened by the power of the Holy Spirit through confirmation, they are assigned to the apostolate by the Lord himself.”(Paragraph 3, Apostolate of the Laity, Second Vatican Council) Clergy from different denominations have endorsed the OneDate for Easter Petition, which can be viewed at http://www.onedate.org/endorsements.php.
You can sign the OneDate for Easter Petition only once. Please encourage family and friends via Twitter to sign the Petition online at: www.onedate.org/sign-the-petition.php. Help spread awareness of the Petition on Facebook by linking to this page or sharing it.
Petition Kits are also available for gathering signatures in church parishes and the community. The signatures can then be added to the website at a later date. Anyone requiring assistance in adding the paper signatures to the website can contact unity@onedate.org.
Catholics, Protestants and Orthodox have joined together in unity in diversity to gather 1 million signatures on the OneDate for Easter Petition at www.onedate.orgto His Holiness Pope Francis, and to all leaders of the Christian Churches.
Christ said: “I do not pray for these only, but also for those who believe in me through their word, that they may all be one; even as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.” (Jn 17:20-21 RSV)
You are being asked to reach out to the over 2 billion Christians in the world through your prayers, and by gathering signatures for the celebration of Easter—on one common date—and to bring full unity to the one Church that Jesus established 2,000 years ago, and heal the wounds caused to Christ’s heart in a mystical way through this division.
3. A Spiritual Retreat to Vadstena, Sweden Report Now Online
June 4-8, 2014
In the TLIG messages, the Lord often mentions that we live in an era of rationalism, decadence and disregard for His Laws and Commandments; in an era when evil and violence prevail. For this reason, as a tender and merciful Father, He has opened up His storeroom in Heaven to provide the hungry with rich spiritual nourishment.
Each spiritual retreat of TLIG is such nourishment of both soul and mind. It is a way of making spiritual progress. It is an attempt to detach us from the cares and troubles of everyday life and to be united with God; to seek Him in Heaven and within us, to experience His presence at every moment in our lives, and to thank Him for His boundless Love…
Our needs for not only spiritual contemplation, but also for communication among the people studying and experiencing the TLIG messages are some of the reasons why retreats are organized every year, all over the world. Participation in them is always high.
During the dates of June 4-8, 2014, the TLIG spiritual retreat to Vadstena, on the lake of Vättern, Sweden, took place. The city of Vadstena was developed around the Abbey of St. Brigitte, founded by her in 1346. In a peaceful, natural setting with a view of the lake, we experienced a wonderful journey of spiritual contemplation, prayer and communication among participants. The organization of the event was the outcome of inspired work by the Swedish TLIG Association, in co-operation with Reverend Bo Westergaard.
On Thursday June 5, our retreat began in the morning, in a bright room overlooking the great lake, with a prayer to the Holy Spirit, songs of praise, and a Bible reading. Reverend Bo welcomed Vassula, Fr. Nabil Mouannes from the Maronite Church, Reverend. Magnus Lind, Reverend. Niklas Bondesson from the Lutheran Church, monk Boris from the Benedictine Order and everyone present. There were 120 participants; however, over the course of the weekend 100 more people arrived by bus or car from Stockholm, Gothenburg, Uppsala and other cities. Participants were there from Sweden, Denmark, the Faroe Islands, Norway, Finland and Greenland. There were also people from other countries, such as France, Belgium, Greece, Iran, Colombia, Syria, Lebanon, Argentina and the USA.
The schedule of this spiritual retreat included more prayers, songs, praises to God and silent contemplation, and a few speeches.
The daily reading out of the TLIG messages by Vassula, and the spontaneous interpretation and analysis by her, was a pleasant surprise which helped us achieve a better understanding of them and a more profound contemplation. Vassula began on the first day by reading the message of February 3rd 2003, which she continued reading and concluded the following day. This message referred to the Holy Trinity. She reminded everyone that Jesus asks that we substitute our name for hers, “and this is important, because what he asks of me, he also asks of you. The language of the messages is mystical and symbolic and to get to know God and understand Him, we need to get closer to Him…” Each day,when concluding her interpretation, she asked us to contemplate that day’s spiritual lesson: Who are we before God? What are we in the eyes of God?
Sister Monica, tells the story of the monastery - Vassula writes a personal dedication in the book, Heaven is real, but so is Hell.
3.TLIG Radio January 2015 News
Dear listeners, you are listening to tlig radio and here is the news for this week.
In our first news bulletin of 2015 we are bringing you more news from the Solomon Islands.
White River Community is located in west Honiara Town and has a population of 2,000 people. They are from different denominations including Anglicans, Pentecostals, SDAs, Jehovah’s witnesses etc, but the majority of them are members of the Catholic Church.
On the 27th of December 2014, a TLIG Beth Myriam mission was organized by a few volunteers. Poor and needy people were invited as well as children. One of the Volunteers offered the use of his home for this mission, which included the preparation of a nutritious meal.
People for whom the whole event was organized, arrived in the evening and then the TLIG prayer meeting started. They expressed their joy in having the prayer meeting and their desire to have regular TLIG prayer in the future. After prayer, the people were offered the delicious Christmas meal with all the wholesome ingredients provided by the TLiG volunteers.
One fruit of this blessed meeting was that a new tlig prayer group started in White River Community. That very first event in White River Community was kindly supported, financially and spiritually, by TLIG Australia.
Praise the Lord for this wonderful news!
In our next news bulletin we will bring you more news about the Beth Myriam in the Solomon Islands.
And now listeners, we are happy to inform you that with the TLIG app for the iPhone and Android smartphones, you can now read all the True Life In God messages on your device wherever you are. Download them from the TLIG web site.
