BETH MYRIAMS

The charity houses of True Life in God 40 BETH MYRIAMS

Now listen to Me and write these words: establish Our Beth Myriams everywhere you can. Lift the oppressed and help the orphan. Protect Me, rescue Me from the gutter, shelter Me and feed Me. Unload My burden and fatigue; support Me and encourage Me. All that you do to the least of My brethren you do it to Me… I bless the supporters of My life. May they remain virtuous and all-loving. I am with you. IC (Jesus, March 27, 2002)

General Introduction

In 1998, Vassula was inspired, through a vision, to initiate a project to feed the poor in the Holy Land. In the vision, she was shown a ‘narrow’ doorway in which our Blessed Mother was standing, holding the baby Jesus. A short time later, a series of seemingly independent happenings came to- gether to help this project to begin.

Still Vassula sought confirmation of the Lord’s will, through opening randomly the scriptures. She and a friend fell upon passages pertinent to Vassula’s discernment, including “Come to Mary's house.”

Vassula had foretold to the people around her that she would receive an Icon of The Blessed Virgin Mary and exactly as she saw it in her vision, and this eventually happened. A Romanian lady who lived in Canada had painted an icon of Mary holding Jesus and was inspired, without knowing about Vassula’s vision, to offer it to her. When Vassula received the icon, she was astonished to recognise in the icon the same image of Mary and Jesus as in her vision. It is this icon which can be seen on this page.

Vassula also had a thought, perhaps inspired by the Holy Spirit, that after Jesus’ birth in the stable, the Holy Family needed a place to stay. The meaning of the vision of Jesus and Mary in the door- way could be that this had been their home before they fled into Egypt. Mary’s appearance and the inspiration to feed the hungry might well come from Our Lady’s desire to return the charity ex- tended to the Holy Family when they were given shelter after leaving the manger.

Now many ‘Beth Myriams’ have opened around the world in several countries. The main thing that the people will be served in these Beth Myriams will be Love... the Love of Our Lord Jesus Christ as we endeavour to serve Him by serving one another... but also a warm dinner and sometimes clothing, sometimes medical treatment and sometimes schooling. Not all are called to work in these projects, but Jesus does teach us to be generous with our love in other ways. On May 23, 1986, Vassula’s Angel, Daniel, said to her: “collect money and give it to the poor needy souls; ... be gen- erous.”

To the question “Who is giving this food?”, Vassula, inspired, tells helpers to reply: “Jesus and Mary, His Mother, are giving you this food!”

BETH MYRIAMS 41

Argentina

Beth Myriam Mendoza: This Beth Myriam, the first in Argen- tina, began in Juanita’s own house, where her husband Carlos, and three teenage daughters would help in serving and feed- ing elderly people and about 40 children from around the area; bathing them in their bathroom, since many of the chil- dren did not have water in the slums where they live. The needs of the area are many since 50% of Argentina’s popula- tion lives in poverty.

In May 2006, a house located close to Juanita’s was rented where she and the TLIG volunteers now welcome the elderly, pregnant women, in- fants and children. 3 meals are served from Monday to Friday to 180 poor people. The sick are taken to Dr. Octavio’s home not far from the Beth Myriam. The TLIG volunteers give Sewing, Knitting, and Art lessons for adults, and 4 teachers help the children and teenagers with their schoolwork, bringing very positive re- sults in school.

Bangladesh

Beth Myriam Dhaka: The Beth Myriam in Dhaka opened 6 years ago, in December 1999, by serving 10 needy people from the nearby slum areas. Today, there are 100 people of all ages - needy men, women and children - that are coming daily at noon for a hot meal from the slum area. They are served lunch according to a weekly balanced menu with adequate calorific content that consists of beef, chicken or fish curry, accompanied by the traditional rice, vegetables, salad and dhal, banana for fruit.

42 BETH MYRIAMS

Since March 2001, this Beth Myriam hosts also a Bangla school class every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday, from 4.00- 5.00pm, for 25-30 children from the slums, between the ages of 5 and 12 that attend to receive the basic education of reading, writing and arithmetic. An English class for children is functioning as well at the same days and hours as above. Milk and biscuits are given to all at the end of every class.

Medical support, clothing, shoes, mos- quito nets, etc. are also among the ma- terial help provided to anyone in need from the guests of the Beth Myriam.

Those who come to eat are encouraged to say their own prayers before the meals. Out of respect for their religious practices, the Beth Myriam helpers prepare spe- cial lunch boxes for the poor people to take home during Ramadan. Vas- sula visited this Beth Myriam in Nov. '05 and was very pleased to see the joy of both those serving and those being served.

Brazil

Beth Myriam Belo Horizonte: It serves 700 dishes of soup and bread daily. These people are spiritually assisted and supported by the Prayer Groups. Every Wednesday the prayer group meet- ing takes place with the people in need taking party. The biggest difficulty is to get daily meals ready because all the food comes from donations.

Beth Myriam Brasilia: This Beth Myriam is located 40 kms. from downtown Brasi- lia, Brazil's capital city, in the neighbourhood of Recanto das Emas. Ma. Laire and the TLIG-BM volunteers help 60 families and 200 children of all ages, with food, clothing and school material. The majority of the needy who frequent the Beth Myriam are poor single mothers and their chil- dren, sometimes numbering 10 or 11 per family. Many young children and teenagers are left in the Beth Myriam while their mothers work, 3 of these teenagers are mentally handicapped.

BETH MYRIAMS 43

The TLIG volunteers hold classes every Tuesday, Wednesdays and Thurs- days to teach the youth to crochet, do patchwork, jewellery-making, and painting on T-shirts. Free medical assistance is given once a month, including distribution of medicines. The adults and children are taught about God and have become part of the TLIG Prayer Group which meets at the Beth Myriam every Wednesday and Satur- day. During all these activities, the poor people are served warm meals and snacks.

Thanks to donations given through the Beth Myriam International Fund, the roof over the patio of the house has been repaired. Pres- ently, the 200 children and 60 mothers are safely sheltered from the sun or heavy tropical rain, and enjoy chatting or playing since they feel so much protected and loved in this Beth Myriam. One room in the house has been refurbished and is now a Clinic used by the doctor and nurse who give free medical assistance and medicines once a month. Furthermore, thanks also to donations, this Beth Myriam now has the means to serve nutritious meals. Currently, the needy are given a good breakfast and a complete hot meal for lunch, three times a week. In addition, many take food in lunchpacks for the elderly or the sick at home, and many others take baskets with basic groceries home for the remaining days of the week. Ma. Laire and the other TLIG BM volunteers are grateful for the financial help they receive, and continue their work of love within their Beth Myriam family.

Beth Myriam Goiânia: This Beth Myriam is located 190 kms. south- west of Brasilia, the capital of Brazil. The house is in a zone of drug dealers, people are very poor, and helpless against the violence around, murders are an everyday happening. Constant surveillance is needed to keep the house safe from vandals and robbers, especially at night. The Beth Myriam caregivers, Ma. da Gloria and Alessandra, and the TLIG volunteers are extremely courageous to do the work that they do. The children that come are very young, left to themselves while their parents leave to work in the city very early in the morning and arrive very late at night.

Thanks to donations received through the Beth Myriam International Fund, hot, nutritious meals with meat, sometimes chicken, vegetables, rice and beans are now served to 80-100 adults and children every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. On Saturdays, 120 adults and children come to pray and learn about God, and share a meal. Everyone who comes to this house knows that it is Our Lady's Home, they are given the Messages of True Life in God. The books are distributed to those who can read and passed on to others. Many more are flocking to the Beth Myriam where they know they will be heard and cared for by Our Lady through the generous hands of the volunteers. They feel free to share their many problems and find the time to

44 BETH MYRIAMS

pray in thanksgiving, and in hope, to ask Jesus and Our Lady to help them in the difficulties of their lives.

Beth Myriam Joinville: This Beth Myriam once again opened its doors in April 2006, in another area of the city of Joinville, in the southern state of Brazil, Santa Catarina.

It is maintained and supported by the TLIG Joinville Prayer Group, of which 16 volunteers take turns in the kitchen. Everyday, 110-140 lunches are served to the poor. Several activities are held throughout the week: every Monday, at 7:30 pm, a TLIG Prayer Meeting is held for the needy who frequent the Beth Myriam; on Thursday, at 2 pm, another TLIG Prayer Meeting takes place with children from 2-14 yrs. old . Holy Mass is celebrated in the Beth Myriam once a month. On the premises, seminars and Professional Training courses are given to the poor to help them better their chances for work.

The TLIG Prayer Group of Joinville is very happy to do this marvelous apostolate, one feels God’s Presence constantly through the generosity of the volunteers and the gratefulness of the humble people whose many needs are filled in this House of Mary.

Egypt

Beth Myriam Cairo: This Beth Myriam is located in the city of Cairo. Two cooks help Sr. Carina prepare the meals for 165 poor people, twice a week. True Life in God volunteers also assure the basics to the poor families. A TLIG Prayer Meeting is held once a week, families come to eat and to pray, sharing many spirit-filled moments.

Holy Land

Beth Myriam Bethlehem: 60 food boxes are distributed in alternation to approximately 150 fami- lies once a month. In some cases, the Holy Land Beth Myriam offers assistance for those among the needy who are incapable of financing school fees for their children; clothing and shoes are also included in this category. TLIG books, copies of the Arabic edition of TLIG Messages (Volume 1 & 2) were distributed on certain occasions.

BETH MYRIAMS 45

Japan

Beth Myriam Tokyo: In December 2005, after Vassula’s visit to Japan in November, Satoru and his wife Jacqueline went out to the streets of Tokyo and found many homeless people living in the parks of this busy metropolis. They started bringing food once a week, and when they were joined by volunteers from the TLIG Prayer Group of Tokyo, they were able to feed more people, more often. They would simply choose a tree to hang up the icon of Our Lady, then set up their tables in the park and start feeding the homeless people.

During the past few months, the TLIG BM volunteers have been able to feed about 100 poor people once a week in Yoyogi Park’s covered area furnished with tables and chairs. The volunteers and the homeless people have become friends, talking together after the meals and sharing about their different problems. There is no mention of religion, but the volunteers simply inform the people that come to eat that this food comes from Our Lady. For those who want to say thank you for the food, the volunteers teach them to speak to Our Mother in Heaven in the short Hail Mary prayer, which many by now have memorized and will- ingly say before eating.

Kenya

Beth Myriam Mombasa: About 50 orphans from infants to 18 yrs old are offered a home as well as 3 meals a day. Five loving women and volun- teers look after these children aged from a few years to 18 years of age. Medical assistance is supplied by the government.

46 BETH MYRIAMS

Lebanon

Beth Myriam Beirut: More than 40 people are being fed once a week in this small apartment, on the first floor of an old building, not far from the centre of town. They can take a shower and find clean clothes, rest and talk. They start distributing meals to 20 persons in a new Moslems region at Rouaissat in collaboration with the SISTERS OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD who are as- sisting them in many of their needs.

Mexico

Beth Myriam Puebla: This Beth Myriam is located in the center of Mexico, in the southern part of the city of Puebla, the capital of the state of Puebla. Gloria Vasquez and her husband prepare 50 meals daily, from Monday to Friday, feeding the families of working mothers whose husbands are unfortunately out of work. Poor children from the streets who clean cars, who sell candies and newspapers frequently come to eat, as well as some drug addicts. Some young BM volunteers gather free vegetables from various donors in the market every 3rd Sunday to help replenish the stock of food for the poor. Medical help is given when needed.

The house is open to everyone, a TLIG Prayer Meeting is held every Monday, and catechism classes are given on Saturdays. During these classes the children of the working mothers are prepared for their first Holy Communion by the BM volunteers, under the supervision of Fr. Carlos Ordaz, who has given his moral support and visits the Beth Myriam. Donations of cloth are received, enabling the volunteers to supply the children with clothes for the Holy Communion ceremony. Sewing classes are offered and every Friday, the children can have their hair cut for free, before meals.

Beth Myriam Tamaulipas: 50 - 100 lunches and 180 tacos with fruit and water supplied weekly to 5 different hospitals. Other activities include visits to 3-4 ranches near the city to evangelize and distribute clothes and other necessities to the needy.

BETH MYRIAMS 47

Peru

Beth Myriam Barranco: 120 lunches offered daily, from Monday to Friday. In Lima, 40 children and 80 adults are evangelised and re- ceive one hot meal daily, from Monday to Friday. Free medical consultation and medicines are offered every Monday. When do- nated to the Beth Myriam, clothes are provided.

Philippines

Beth Myriam "On Wheels", Mountain Province: Travelling to distant tribal villages in the mountainous north of the Philippines, food, clothing, and free medical assistance are supplied to the villagers, and TLIG Prayer Groups are formed. 250 meals are brought once a week to the poor in 8 villages and to the local prison. Through the work of the TLIG Tuao volunteers of this Beth Myriam, the Lord has established TLIG vineyards (Prayer Groups) in the Municipal Jail and in 8 far-flung villages where the poorest of the poor really dwell. Because they have been roaming daily, feeding these villages with both food for the body and food for the soul on a weekly basis, they called their work "Beth Myriam-on-Wheels". Sometimes during typhoon season, when bridges fall, the volunteers are forced to cross rivers by boat to get to some of the villages.

A delighted Vassula encouraged them to continue following the call of God to read, meditate and live the messages so that Beth Myriam becomes the fruit of what they learned from the TLIG Mes- sages. She also paused once in a while to personally talk with simplicity to individuals especially among the poorest.

Beth Myriam Dasmarinas: 30 children aged between 8 and 17 years come daily to receive a meal. Medical assistance is also provided as well as clothing. Three full meals a day are distributed to 10 children, 100 meals every Saturday after TLIG prayer meeting in different outlying villages.

Francis Melmon and his wife have been the care-givers of this three-year old

48 BETH MYRIAMS

Beth Myriam which was blessed and inaugurated by His Excellency Bishop Antonio Tagle, DD of the Diocese of Imus.

The children learn to ask Jesus to bless their food and thank Him for His gift. Joy was also in Vas- sula’s heart as she was interviewing the youth and witnessing the feeding of the people who came from as far as the hills of Nasugbu, and Laurel (in Batangas) and the industrial towns of Sta. Rosa (Laguna) and Silang (Cavite).

Beth Myriam Tuau, Cagayan: Situated in a clinic, the Beth Myriam of Tuau offers totally free medical assistance to all those who need it. Moreover, a meal is given every Friday to about 45 people, children and adults.

This Beth Myriam feeds poor people of all ages, they read the Messages and are also part of the TLIG Prayer Group in Tuao.

TLIG is very much alive in the enthusiasm and hard work of Dr. German de Laza and his wife Josie. After the TLIG Holy Land pilgrimage in 2000 they said: Yes - to Jesus, they opened a Beth Myriam blessed and inaugurated solemnly by His Excellency Archbishop Diosdado A. Talamayan, DD in September 2000. His free medical services for the unfortunate together with TLIG evangeli- zation have reached the mountains of the next province, Kalinga Apayao.

Divinely powered by regular prayer meetings and personal contemplative reading, the couple and the TLIG-BM volunteers have been surely taking these words of our Holy Mother seriously: abide only in Faith, Hope and Love, let these be your fruit filling your heart God-is-among-you to provide your soul all that it lacks; the Vineyards of the Lord shall multiply and They shall yield enough fruit to feed thousands. (22.9.89)

Beth Myriam Manila: One afternoon in May 2005, about 70 squatter children gathered at the basketball court of a compound in Felix Huertas St., in the center of Manila. TLIG volunteers prepared snacks for them and were surprised to discover that they came because someone had told them that they were going to be taught to pray. Since that day up to the present, 30-130 of them have been coming once a week to be fed, pray, sing and play. In June 2006, the compound’s owners generously donated the use of a 3-storey unit for the TLIG volunteers to care for the squatter children. It was then that the first Beth Myriam in Manila came to be.

This street leads to one of the two state-owned Maternity Clinics in this city of 12 million people. The number of births are so many that the inadequacy of the Clinic’s facilities obliges 2-4 laboring mothers to share a hospital bed. Not far is the City Jail with a squatter area surrounding it where the wives and children of the inmates live, some children are left to survive while both parents are in jail.

In this atmosphere of drug dealers and users, petty thieves and sea- men living in boarding houses, the Beth Myriam, a haven of peace and love, welcomes 150-200 squatter children of all ages every Sat- urday from 8:30 am to 12:30 pm. The children are happily occupied with drawing and painting lessons, singing Praise songs, dancing, and

BETH MYRIAMS 49

are fed a hot nutritious meal. They are also taught how to pray and are given Catechism lessons. The BM volunteers also assist 50 poor families in their enrollment into the parochial program for free medical and dental benefits. Other activities include daily Prayer Meetings with children of different age groups and their mothers. Recently, student volunteers from a private school, St. Mary of the Woods, have adopted the Beth Myriam for their Outreach Program for the Poor, help- ing the TLIG-BM volunteers in their work.

Uganda

Beth Myriam Bundibuygo: In 2003-04, around 300-400 refugees were fed one meal daily. Now it only serves food on Wednesdays and Fridays. Other activities include sharing prayers and help with reuniting families.

United States

Beth Myriam Puerto Rico: On Sunday, Jan. 28 2007, the inaugu- ration of the Beth Myriam in Caguas, Puerto Rico took place. This is a home for the aged. The opening included an outdoor ribbon cutting ceremony and the blessing of the Beth Myriam. Vassula, who had been invited by Gogui Merced, addressed the people of Puerto Rico with a special talk and shared some inspirations from the spirituality of True Life in God. It was truly a very spe- cial day, filled with blessings form Heaven!

Beth Myriam Guatire: Four years ago, "Casa de Maria" Guatire was born and has been serving 80-120 hot meals to children, women, drug addicts and elderly alcoholics. This BM is located in the parking lot of the local Parish Hall. The kitchen where the meals are cooked is a room in the Parish house. TLIG volunteers teach them to read and write, and free medical care is offered by volunteer medical doctors, including a member of TLIG Guatire. Lately, Yocoima and her com- panions have been helping some children and young adults get examined for the HIV virus, accom- panying them to doctors' consultations, and covering their expenses. Some have been tested posi- tive, the TLIG volunteers pray with these children, giving them hope and helping them put their trust in the Lord.

50 BETH MYRIAMS

This Beth Myriam is celebrating its 4th anniversary on March 18, this year. The caregivers and poor ones who come to share a meal are ea- gerly looking forward to a feast of prayer, love, and blessings. They thank Our Lord and Our Blessed Mother for the kindness and gen- erosity they are given.

Beth Myriam Propatria, Caracas: Situated in the center of Caracas, the capital of Vene- zuela, this Beth Myriam has been active for many years now, and is supported by the True Life in God Association of Venezuela and the TLIG Prayer Groups. Twenty TLIG volunteers are available, rotating their time to help. The Beth Myriam feeds, gives Reading and Writing lessons for adults and children, bathes their guests, and gives them clean clothes. 350 meals are served daily from Monday to Friday. Medical assistance is given to about 40 persons daily, medical supplies are donated by the employees of the U.S. Embassy in Caracas.

Recently, the TLIG volunteers organized a day of Spiritual Recollection for the poor that frequent their Beth Myriam, and invited 4 generous medical doctors who offered the needy free medical assistance. Two hairdressers were on hand to cut the hair of the poor in the Beth Myriam. Many of the people who come to be helped are elderly beg- gars who live in the streets, turning to Our Lady’s House for the only decent food they eat, and for the only health care they can get. The TLIG volunteers take them to hospital when they are in need of medi- cal help.

Beth Myriam San Cristóbal: This Beth Myriam is situated far from the capital, Caracas, and is geographically located close to the border with Colombia. It was started 3 yrs. ago and helps mostly elderly poor people. Rosario de Mexeira, the BM responsible, is a 65 yr. old widow who is full of love for God. She has been a TLIG reader for a long time and has made her way to attend all 5 of Vassula’s meetings in Caracas.

With the help of TLIG volunteers, 25 full meals are served every Monday and Wednesday. They shelter 5-10 poor and homeless people, some staying for just one day, and others for up to a week. They gather and recycle used clothing which are distributed to the needy in the cold mountainous areas and also to those in warmer zones.

TLIG supports the Dhammarajika Orphanage

Vassula was personally invited by the Venerable Suddhananda Mahathero, President of the Bangla- desh Bouddha Kristi Prachar Sangha, to receive the “Atisha Dipankar & Visuddhananda Peace Gold Award” this year, 2003, on the occasion of the 94 th birthday of the late President and founder of the Buddhist Monastery. The Peace Gold Award 2003 ceremony was held on Sunday 23 rd Feb- ruary at the Buddhist Monastery. The Buddhist monks nominated her for this Peace Award as a distinguished personality in recognition of her great contribution and her efforts for establishing inter-religious harmony and promoting world Peace among all peoples and faiths.

On February 26 th Vassula was invited to visit the Orphanage which the Buddhist monks have run for 31 years now. Since 1972 this Orphanage has been providing food and medical care for thou- sands of orphaned and destitute children. Right now 600 children are depending on the generosity and love of their fellow people, and on the charity of individual donors, as many aid organizations have discontinued their donations.

Vassula was asked to say some words to everyone present. All the children were there and many distinguished members of the Dhammarajika Buddhist Monastery. Everyone was touched deeply by her words of encouragement and support.

Two months after Vassula’s visit to the Dhammarajika Orphanage, in April 2003, TLIG started to support this Orphanage - to help these helpless children so that they will be able to grow into able- bodied persons in the years to come.

The address of the Monastery is:

TLIG Builds and supports school in Bangladesh

In July 2000 a request was made from some people in Kulun village close to Dhaka to build a 2- classroom school for the first graders that had to walk about 3 Km (just under 2 miles) to reach the nearest mission school. The people that asked us were close local friends and later became devout followers of the Messages of TLIG and one of them, Xavier Pereira, is promoting the Messages in the areas around Dhaka. The decision was taken to help them out and build a school for the little ones, which by mid-2001 was almost completed, and the children were attending classes there already.

In Feb. 2003, Vassula and Carlo Sami from Switzerland had the oppor- tunity to visit this village and see the school running. Sami volunteered to donate the desks and benches needed for the school.

In July 2003, TLIG also started paying the teachers’ salaries, as the previous organiza- tion supporting them stopped and it wasn't right for the children if the school were to close for lack of teachers’ salaries.

Once a week the TLIG Messages are read to the children by the teachers and dis- cussed and prayed.

Ecumenism and Spirituality 3rd Symposium on Ecumenism at Farfa, Italy 14 th - 17 th November 2001

In November, 2001, Vassula was invited to an official symposium on ecu- menism at a place called Farfa, outside Rome. It was held by the sisters of St. Birgitta. Vassula was to represent the point of view of unity from a lay person. Each participant had to speak for an hour to be followed by a de- bate with questions. The whole committee consisted of Roman Catholics and Lutherans. The Catholic Bishop of Sweden was there as well as many professors of theology and Monsignors and different clergy. The four day symposium had many speakers all of whom were theologians and clergy apart from Vassula.

When Vassula had finished her talk and was waiting for questions to come in and a debate to start, the theologian who led the symposium was weep- ing. He then said: “This sermon on unity we have just heard was the most fervent sermon I have ever heard in my entire life. Therefore, I do not want any questions to be raised here, because this was a prophetic voice speaking and when it comes to , we listen and carry out what is asked from us.”

God’s Calling to His people

by Vassula Rydén

Lord, I pray as You have prayed: may we all be one, as the Father is in You and You in Him, so that the rest of the world may believe it was the Father who sent You. For this we pray too for the sheep who are not of your fold, that they too will listen to Your voice. We pray that the world may come to love You from today onwards. Amen.

Introduction

First and foremost, I thank our Lord for this spiritual gathering, because it is a grace given by God for all of us, giving us opportunities to expand His Kingdom, bringing us closer into reconciliation. So any delicacy from our part to restore the tottering house of Christ touches the Lord profoundly. Any step towards a spiritual unity and all heaven rejoices! Any prayer offered for the restoration of Christ’s Body, and the Father’s wrath diminishes. Any gathering in His Holy Name for unity and His blessings are poured out on those sharing these meetings. For this I give glory to God who ne- ver fails us.

In this hour I would like to share with you an introduction of the role of a lay person in the Church and then three themes. The first theme is on metanoia, fruit of humility that leads to reconciliation and unity , the second one is about our sin of division and the third one is on the role of the Holy Spirit in leading us to unity .

When I received this invitation to speak about an ecumenical spirituality I was reluctant to put into words my particular experience with God. I do not dare to formulate a classified “spirituality” out of my own intimate “conversations with Christ”. Rather, I will leave the freedom of God who lifted the prophets and who spoke and revealed Himself “in many and various ways” (Heb 1,1) to con- vey again His message through a weak hand, a member of Christ’s Body. In this sense, what fol- lows is a different kind of testimony of the mystical tradition of the Church. Therefore, what you will hear in this hour is not an academic theology discourse, simply because I am not a theologian, but rather a lived example of a lay witness to unity when called by God for His service.

I, myself come from the Greek Orthodox Church. In our book for the doctrine of the Orthodox Church, book I, published in 1997 by Mr. Trembelas, on p. 79, it reads: “Revelations are defined as an act taken by God by which He notifies His reasonable creatures about the mysteries of His exis- tence, nature and will, according to their limited intellectual capacity…” etc. It will be worth rea- ding p. 78 where it describes the necessity of God Himself guiding His people. There are many more references on the role of the laity in our Orthodox Church, but limited time prevents us to stu- dy them in detail here.

THIRD SYMPOSIUM ON ECUMENISM AT FARFA 59

It is known as well that the second Vatican Council has underlined how important it is that the laity contributes to spreading the Good News through the various gifts God bestows upon His Church. In Lumen Gentium , the Council clearly states that the laity participates in the prophetic office of Christ. Christ fulfils this prophetic office, not only by the hierarchy but also by the laity. He accor- dingly both establishes them as witnesses and provides them with the sense of the faith and the grace of the word (LG 35) . Every lay-person has a part to play in this service of the Gospel accor- ding to the charism God has given him and through those gifts given to him, is at once the witness and the living instrument of the mission of the Church itself, “according to the measure of Christ’s bestowal” (Eph 4,7). It is obvious then from what the churches assess, that the laity have a very important role to play in the world and that the charisms the Holy Spirit bestows upon His people always are for the service of the community and for the benefit of the Church.

From the very beginning of this call, our Lord by grace approached me with royal prodigality, ad- dressing me in poetry since religion and virtue were His sweet converse during these last sixteen years with me. Without any merit I was called and I responded; Scriptures say: “I believed, and therefore this is the reason why I speak” (2 Co 13). Then I was asked by the Lord to acknowledge Him and by acknowledging Him He showed me His Cross of unity.

One of the first words of command of Christ to me were these: “Which house is more important, your house or My house?” I replied: “Your house, Lord.” Then He said: “Revive My house, embel- lish My house, unite My house.” I was struck with helplessness and I felt miserable. I lamented: “I do not know how to do all of this. I know nothing!” Christ then said: “Remain nothing; I want a nothing and in your nothingness I will show My authority, My power and that I Am; so die to your- self and allow My Holy Spirit to breathe in you.” From thereon He asked me to walk with Him but after having gone through many spiritual fires. In this way I received the seed of God without any merit. It is written: “No one can have anything unless God gives it to him.” (Jn 3, 27)

This work of the Holy Spirit is printed in eleven volumes and translated in 40 languages 1. In these spiritual writings we see how God is giving us opportunities to be perfect and be able to reach dei- fication through His divinity and become god’s by participation. The fruits of this work are numer- ous, because they too are coming from the Lord and every good thing comes from the Lord. It is worthwhile mentioning one of them. Today all over the world exist more than a thousand ecumeni- cal prayer groups that were formed through these inspired writings by the name of “True life in God”. These ecumenical prayer groups consist of different church denominations that gather to- gether to pray for unity and reconciliation of the churches. From these groups, nine charity houses have opened to feed the poor and the needy. They are called Beth Myriam that means House of Mary . There will be others that will open by the grace of God, in the near future and will become active as well.

Through God’s grace I have been invited in sixty countries so far, to testify the great works of the Lord. This was done in more than 700 meetings, to Roman Catholics, Orthodox and to various other churches. I could not refuse either to address our other brothers and sisters who are not Chris- tians. Our Lord opened as well a door for the non-Christians, and so I was called to address the Jews, as well as the Hindus, Muslims and Buddhists, who, after addressing them the Word of God, found their freedom and reconciled with the triune God, asking for the sacrament of baptism. For Christ had prayed to the Father for this and said: “I pray not only for these but also for those who through their teaching will come to believe in Me.” (Jn 17, 20)

60 THIRD SYMPOSIUM ON ECUMENISM AT FARFA

In March 2000, the Lord permitted us to gather in His birthplace, Bethlehem. 450 people came from far and wide; yes, from more than 55 countries and from 12 different churches to an interna- tional meeting of prayer for peace and unity. We gathered as one single family. With us we had 75 clergy also from 12 different churches that came, but also other clergy from the Holy Land, who, hearing of this prayer meeting joined us as well. This ecumenical event was co-ordinated by some Jews and Palestinians who were touched by the inspired writings of “True Life in God” . They be- lieved in the redemption of Christ and of His saving plan in our days and volunteered to organize this meeting.

When one knows how in our days, Palestinians and Jews are fighting against each other, their rec- onciliation is a sign of the power of the Holy Spirit who joined those two nations to work for a meeting for peace between the divided Christians. As Scriptures say: “Peacemakers, when they work for peace, sow the seeds which will bear fruit in holiness” (Jm 3, 18). This is a lesson for all of us.

To watch all these clergy wearing different vestments, yet all Christians, one beside the other, smil- ing, sharing, and making no difference at all between them, participating in prayers and Liturgies, was obviously a triumph for our Lord. We lived and had a foretaste of what unity will be like one day between Christians and we give glory to God. Before the speeches and the introductions, we had all the clergy lined up to perform a procession. It was awesome. Some were holding icons, oth- ers statues of the Sacred Heart and a statue of the Virgin Mary; actually the Madonna was held by a Lutheran pastor and he was very proud of it. Others had incense, others had candles, Greek Ortho- dox clergy wearing round their necks rosaries that have been exchanged with their crosses and Panayias with the Roman Catholic clergies’ rosaries and they all marched with a Byzantine hymn chanting the Kyrie eleisson .

We had speeches given to us from clergy of different churches on unity. Their speech resounded like they came from one voice and one mind. We sensed the great desire of all of us being one, dur- ing their talks. Even there was a touching moment when several clergy from different churches were on the podium and one Roman Catholic priest fell on his knees and went around kissing the feet of all the other clergy, asking to be forgiven. With this spontaneous act of humility, a Coptic priest touched to tears, did the same thing and crawled down to kiss the feet of his brothers in Christ. We saw and we watched the thirst of the laity and the clergy, they have for unity. But we sensed at the same time the great wounds our division has produced on the Mystical Body of Christ and this is the reason we felt so joyful and consoled to experience these sincere acts of humility and reconciliation. Had it been an official meeting and had we been officials of the Church and had we the power and authority, we would have performed unity right there and then declaring it to the world.

The majority of us are tired of this division, because it is not according to our law of love. Christ is even more tired of seeing us divided. The cheers and acclamations of joy of all these nations who were bonded together, appealing for a complete unity among Christians exposed that this division is not only a sin but a crime as well. Yet, I tell you that the biggest crime of all is to have the dates of Easter separated . How good it will be when we all cry out together: “Christos Anesti” in one voice all in one day. We all say, “Thy Will be done on earth as it is in heaven…” Well then, what is holding the officials of the Church back to do the Will of God and declare their reconciliation if already the laity and priests around the world are living a unity? Unity began yesterday… we saw it… we lived it…we rejoiced in it, and we want it as much as the Holy Spirit wants it. Jesus Christ united us together by His Blood, so how can one deny this unity? “He is the peace between us, and has made the Gentile and the Jew into one and broken down the barrier which used to keep them

THIRD SYMPOSIUM ON ECUMENISM AT FARFA 61

apart, actual destroying in His own person the hostility caused by the rules and decrees of the Law” (Ep 2, 14-15). How can we say “no” to God, if He wants us to unite? Could it be because our hearts have hardened? Have we forgotten the Holy Father’s words when He said: “The elements that unite us are far greater than those that divide us” ? So we should take up those elements and use them to smoothen up the way to a complete unity.

The graces we received in those days in the Holy Land were innumerable. A Greek Orthodox Ar- chimandrite from the Patriarchate of Jerusalem, having heard we were there, called all 450 people and invited all of us to the Holy Sepulchre Church and another day to Mount Tabor to be present in the Liturgies and even to partake the pre-sanctified gifts if we wished and believed in the Holy Presence of Jesus in this Holy Communion.

There were so many moments of joy to see Orthodox, Lutherans, Catholics, Anglicans, Baptists etc. praying together the rosary, all near each other and not withdrawn because this prayer suppos- edly is prayed only by the Roman Catholics. On the contrary, we made no differences. The prayer of the Rosary linked us together, and the exposed Blessed Sacrament for adoration, even more, for in front of our Lord we kneeled and felt in this oneness that we were indeed the sons and the daughters of the Most High because everyone was moved by the Spirit (Rm 8, 14), and like children belonging to one family, together, side-by-side we were one and not one against the other, for the spirit of differentiation was not among us anymore. In these moments we realized that we were liv- ing by grace and not by law (Rm 6, 14). Our hearts were bound together and in Christ’s presence we felt truly united in the spirit and in God’s love. Indeed, in these moments we had one mind and one heart all united in Christ’s Heart. Later on, all the clergy said that when they will go back home, they will continue to promote this spiritual unity and will testify to their brothers what they lived and what they had seen so that they too rejoice in one Lord.

From what we gathered during our pilgrimage of unity in the Holy Land, we sensed that prayers were more powerful than our speeches and dialogues because hardly did we open our mouths to pray together, and our prayers were already heard and were answered. Just as the Holy Father back in October 1986 invited to Assisi representatives of the great world religions to pray for peace, one beside the other, we should follow that line and promote many more of these encounters of inter- religious dialogue in the future.

And now finally after this introduction I will go into my first theme, which is on metanoia 2.

God’s Calling to a deep metanoia, fruit of humility that leads us to reconciliation and unity

We, the people of the churches, must realize that we are living in a constant sin, the sin of our divi- sion. “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and no city or house divided against itself will stand” (Mt.12, 25). Even if this division did not come directly from us but from our forefa- thers, still, we are keeping it alive so long as we remain divided. We cannot say that God is pleased when the shepherds are still separated. We cannot deign to talk about unity without going through a metanoia and put into practice the two greatest commandments of God. It will be as though we want to construct a house without laying down first its foundations. The foundations of unity should be humility and divine love and the conversion of our hearts. For how could we believe that we could reach unity if we do not repent and live fully the two greatest commandments that are

2. Metanoia : Greek word meaning ‘conversion’.

62 THIRD SYMPOSIUM ON ECUMENISM AT FARFA

based on the law of love? The seeds of unity would be constantly sown in an arid and infertile land and no seedlings will sprout in that sort of aridity, which represents the hardness of our heart. We have to sit down and ask ourselves: “are we maybe looking upon unity according to our own mind, and this is why perhaps we are still separated, or are we seeking it as the Spirit of God wants it, but we do not agree to it?”

This is why, with the fear of the Lord in mind knowing that God knows what we really are, a true metanoia is the first and major step that is required so as to provide us the necessary light to lead us all into a spiritual unity. This metanoia that is necessary is a colossal power in itself that will trans- figure us and will be fruitful. So let us be rich in poverty, just like the priest who fell on his knees, weeping and kissing the feet of his brothers belonging to the other churches asking for forgiveness, in this same manner let us repent in humility.

We have to knock down the old bricks inside our hearts, bricks of intolerance, pride, lack of for- giveness, unfaithfulness, disunion, lack of love, and reconstruct Christ’s Church inside our hearts by acknowledging each other in our hearts, allowing God to be more in us to bring us His peace. There has to be a kenosis 3 given to God from a deeper metanoia , so that God will fill us lavishly with Himself, then we will be “acceptable as an offering, and made holy by the Holy Spirit” (Rm 15, 16). As we know, God is ceaselessly giving Himself to us to maintain our soul alive, but after our metanoia God will manifest Himself to us in power and grace while He will be expressing His heart’s desires, showing us how to use the key to unity. A metanoia will not only lead us into a conversion of the heart but a total transfiguration will take place, because metanoia is the gate that leads souls from darkness into light. Therefore, to this day we cannot say we are walk- ing in the light since we are still divided and fragmented; if we have not entered the light, how are we to see God’s divine Will to progress into unity and to know in which way He desires it? How are we to feel our way and where we are walking if we are still in the dark? If we do not hurry, that little flickering flame that remains in us will become extinguished. We need to hurry and put aside all our prejudices and draw oil instead from the reserves of humility and love to enliven this flick- ering flame into a living torch.

But then each church should be willing to die to its ego and to its rigidity and then through this act of humility, Christ’s presence will be shining in them. Each church has to go through an unceasing repentance and cleave itself on Christ joining in His love of mankind. With this act of humility, the churches’ past and present failures will be washed away and unity will be accomplished. Once we lower our voice we will begin to hear Christ’s voice. Only when we lower our heads will we allow Christ’s head to be seen and not ours, only when we lower ourselves entirely, will Christ be able to lift us to see His glory. It is written: “Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will lift you up” (Jm 4, 10). Then, and only then, we will be able to know God’s divine Will, for he will demon- strate His power after having brought us to naught, and His holy presence will flow through the desert of our soul like a river, healing us. Then, when our health is restored, our soul will prohibit us from falling back and absorbing the venom we were absorbing in our pathetic division. We will only have one desire and that is to thirst for the pure vivifying liquid that gives life. Moreover, this pure limpid liquid, not only will it heal us but we will also overflow in mercy and love. Having thus given the Holy Spirit a free passage in us, He will easily invade us lavishing us with His light as well, giving us a total metamorphosis, transfiguring us into a heaven.

The Lord permitted me once to hear Him say these words: “If you allow My Holy Spirit to invade you, He can transfigure your soul from a desert into a garden where I can have My rest in you. The

3. Kenosis : Greek word meaning to empty ourselves.

THIRD SYMPOSIUM ON ECUMENISM AT FARFA 63

Holy Spirit can transfigure your soul into a palace, where I can be king and reign over you. The Holy Spirit can transfigure your soul into a heaven where in this heaven you will glorify Me.” To reach unity we must go through a transfiguration and so long as we have not achieved sharing one Cup around one altar it proves that this transfiguration has not yet taken place within us since we are still living fragmented. So let us go through a metanoia to allow this transfiguration to take place by the Holy Spirit. Without this transfiguration we will be incapable of penetrating into the depths of God to see God and understand Him. This vision of the Godhead will undoubtedly draw our hearts into one. In the experience of the vision of God, our soul as well will realize how much we were offending Him in our division. This will be like an act of purification or a minor judgment but the beginning of our new life in the one Christ.

In this transfiguration we will discover that although we would still be among men, our mind will be in heaven; and although our bodies will be moving among men, our soul and mind, captured in the divine Will, filled with the nobility of God’s light, will be as an angel’s walking in the courts of heaven among the saints and angels, becoming one spirit with the Divine. Then the “Our Father’s” prayer would be accomplished because His Kingdom would have come and His Will would be done on earth as it is in heaven. From thereon all our undertakings would be perfect and done with- out any flaw, since they would be divine and according to God’s mind. We have learnt that our mind can never ascend to heaven on its own, but it is God alone who can lift it to heaven unveiling with great delight His mysteries. Had we responded to Christ’s supplication that “we may be one”, or had we responded to His call by showing obedience to His call, today we would be sharing His Cup around one altar and we would be saying: “I am walking with God and ruling with Him now”.

The Church needs to be consolidated and unity is the only hope of consolidating the Church. As it is now, the Church is losing its brightness in its weakness to the point that it cannot even stand up and draw by itself the oil and the healing ointment from the Source of Life that is the Holy Spirit. In its fear of losing its treasures but mainly its identity, and I would say, especially our Orthodox Church, it not only barricades its windows, but makes sure that its doors are carefully locked as well, not realizing that its interior has collected mould. Out of its fear, it prohibits grace to flow in it that can lead it fearlessly into unity and reconciliation. Someone who acts out of fear and makes sure that windows and doors are carefully barred is usually afraid of being burgled of their valu- ables. But it is not only the Orthodox Church; the other churches as well behave in this way too. Why are they fearing and isolating themselves? Why do some barricade their doors still? Has Christ not reconciled Gentile and Jew and put them to worship together one Christ? Has Christ not ripped open the veil in two, which separated God and man, reconciling the creature and the Crea- tor? Has Christ not destroyed the gates of hell and set the spirits free? So what could Christ have done more that He has not done? Why then to this day do the churches still barricade themselves and erect walls to keep alive this division? If only they would lay aside their fears, their rigidity and their suspicions, today we would not be talking about unity because we would already be celebrat- ing the Holy Eucharist around one altar.

If the churches are able to go beyond the negative obstacles that separate them, obstacles that ac- cording to Scriptures are against the fulfilment of the unity of faith, love and worship among us, Christ will be faithful to His promise of releasing a time of peace in the entire world. This peace will draw every being into the Mystical Body of Christ, fulfilling His words given to us in His prayer to the Father, when He said: “may they be one in Us, as You are in Me and I am in You, so that the world may believe it was You who sent Me” (Jn 17, 21). This supplication of Christ to the Father for us to be so unified clearly intonated that the entire creation will be affected into a spiri- tual unity and not a unity by a signed treaty. But such a spiritual unity that the whole creation gets affected cannot be made without the Spirit of God endowing His power to mankind. The Holy

64 THIRD SYMPOSIUM ON ECUMENISM AT FARFA

Spirit then must raise new apostles to go and evangelize the world and draw the whole world’s faith in Christ. Considering our remaining division, I would say that the Church has shown its weakness in this respect.

Still, in spite of our wretchedness, the Holy Spirit of grace will not stop there because of our human failures, ambitions and our incapacity to reduce ourselves and reconcile to attain unity. Christ’s love of mankind compels Him in our days to bend from the heights all the way to us with His pre- cious Blood to conceal these imperfections. The Holy Spirit knows of our weaknesses and failures, so one cannot say that the Holy Spirit stopped pouring out His graces; he is out there, making a lot of noise so that in the end even the deaf who barricaded themselves will hear Him and finally open the doors of their hearts; and those that were dead will come to life. From having ceased to be they will once more be.

One of the graces that the Holy Spirit is giving us in our times are new apostles who are prepared by God to pour out of their lips the words of God echoing them. But if our minds and hearts cannot be touched easily and hear them it is perhaps that we have become too technical and unfortunately too rationalistic. In this technical environment Christ’s mercy is blemished as well as the simplicity of a spiritual life in God. This is why it is important that the Orthodox Church especially, but as well as the other churches, allow the Holy Spirit free to blow within them a resurrection breath. In this resurrection they will stand up and realize that evangelizing is a necessity to reconcile the world that is so estranged from God. Evangelizing a dechristianized society is also a means of al- lowing people of every race and creed to return to God and start seeking God’s face. Every creature on earth could benefit and having thus surrendered to God the Holy Spirit will do the rest and extir- pate all obstacles that hinder the way to a complete spiritual unity.

God is asking from us a change from within. There would be some who would say: “But we always kept the law of the Church and obeyed it…” It is not enough to keep the law of the Church and obey it. Our rigidity is condemning us. A lot of times we talk of the law but we do not carry it in our heart. The heart of the law is love; but so many times we live the letter of the law but neglect to live the heart of the law. We are often neglecting the weightier matters of the law, which are love, mercy and good faith.

We should be willing to pray more together because prayers are heard and answered whereas dia- logues are just spoken words and formulas. That does not mean that we should eliminate our con- ferences and discussions, as I mentioned before, not at all. But what is more important for us, the letter, or the Spirit? If we say, the letter, than we will work like administrators when dealing with God’s affairs and we will not be justified nor will we ever achieve anything, because it will be like saying to the Spirit, “I am not a child any longer and I can walk by myself”. The letter thus will kill the Spirit and we will become truly administrators shifting papers only and leaving every meeting empty-hearted.

So what is more important, the law or the Spirit? If we say the law then already we will be judging our brother sitting near us belonging to the other church, while he will be already judging us and we will hear from each one of us: “ We are in the full truth and we are the ones who are right”. And again we will be fragmenting Christ and again we will achieve nothing. If we start with the doc- trine and its contents, there again we will end up perhaps even more separated and fragmented, never reaching the essential. I do not mean by that, that we should violate the doctrine since the doctrine is the very existence of the Church. But, if we allow the Holy Spirit to lead us, instead of us leading the Holy Spirit for once, then the Spirit will enliven the letter and the law and he will show us the true doctrine, that Jesus Christ is the only active principle in us despite our differences

THIRD SYMPOSIUM ON ECUMENISM AT FARFA 65

in doctrinal terminology. For this act of charity, we need intense poverty of the spirit and an over- flow of generosity. So let our doctrinal dialogues begin with the Holy Spirit. Let Him be the one who leads us by our sleeve to show us in our heart that the essence of doctrine should be based on love, sacrifice, redemption and a total dispassion.

Our sin of division

If we have become divided and torn asunder, it is because of our intolerance with each other and our spirit of pride. We have chased the distinctive sign of faith, which is divine love, as Christ said about the virtue of love, “By this shall all men know that you are My disciples, if you have love one to another” (Jn 13, 35). Yet, Christ’s love compels him to deploy limitless mercy on our division, this division that brought upon us this aridity and hardness of heart devastating the Church and bringing a general apostasy in the Christian world. The world now, apostatised as it is, has no place for God, since it is occupied with a sort of self-realization. The world today refuses to give glory to God and we are living in a time when every good is transformed into evil. The Christians are cease- lessly being dechristianized because of our division, either that, or they are constantly falling into error. Look around you and see: one section of the Church has been blinded because of their ration- alistic mind. So long as they make recourse to their own spirit they will continue to walk in the dark. They will continue to proclaim their laws instead of God’s law. They will try to change the Tradition of the Church to human frills and analogies, without the Truth that is in Christ. We should pray for those Christians who easily undermine Christ’s Divinity, by plundering the Church not only from its icons, statues and valuables, but also from the real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. If they proclaim Christ as King and glorious affirming His might, proclaiming His fear- ful power, singing praises to Him, acknowledging His Omnipotence and His mighty wonders, we should ask them why does Christ become to them a stumbling stone when it comes to measure the magnificence of His Divinity in His Presence in the Eucharist? Unless they see His Divinity with spiritual eyes, they will continue to be like a drowsing man who never grasps anything you tell him.

The Lord allowed me to hear from Him these words: “I am the Supreme High Priest over all My house, this house that men pitilessly divided in their lack of love; so, am I to keep seeing My house being divided and in such rebellion and not intervene? My Eucharist is given less and less impor- tance. May every race know that My flesh and blood comes from My Mother; My Body comes from the most Holy Virgin, from pure blood…”

Pretence and lip service never deceived Christ, but whenever we adopted a mutual love that led to peace and a mutual understanding, His Spirit rejoiced. How can we today expect His Spirit to re- joice when every feast of Easter that passes by, the dates of Easter are not unified, and are still not unified officially unless it happens by coincidence like this year? How can His Spirit rejoice when the members of His Mystical Body are still scattered like the dry bones in Ezekiel’s vision? We are audaciously rebelling against God and all the heavenly powers. We are fearlessly transgressing His law of love in front of His Throne. Scriptures say: “Everyone who knows what is the right thing to do and doesn’t do it commits a sin” (Jm 4, 17). Scriptures do not lie and cannot be rejected.

Furthermore, how do we expect the Church to be credible in front of the rest of the world’s eyes when it preaches peace, love, unity, brotherhood and reconciliation to countries that are massacring their people, when we, at the same time, in our own centre , are massacring the Body of Christ by throwing ever so often venomous arrows on one another? We, the royal household of Christ, have bartered our glory for shame. God is calling all of us, and inviting us to be one, so that the world

66 THIRD SYMPOSIUM ON ECUMENISM AT FARFA

may believe (Jn 17, 21). So only when the Church will be healed by uniting and regain her strength, would she be able to reconcile the world to God. At the same time, consolidated as she would be, she will be able to overturn all the dark powers that darkened the world and the dominion of the evil one who keeps us scattered.

The role of the Holy Spirit in leading us to a spiritual unity

It is the Holy Spirit of grace alone that can progress the Church rapidly into unity making us over- come our fears of going forward. The Holy Spirit is there to burn to the roots all that keeps us di- vided and delays us from uniting. The evil one of course is aware of this and keeps raising upheav- als there where they normally should not be, grievously obstructing the work of the Church and delaying unity. This is why I think it is very important to submit to the Holy Spirit and pay more attention on the charisms He gives to the Church. We should stop extinguishing the fire of the Holy Spirit that can brighten up the interior of the Church. Therefore, it is important to let our self be di- rected by grace and not by fear. Let the Holy Spirit be like a Parousia within the Church.

The Body of Christ, the Church, as we know, always increases through the Holy Spirit and will keep on increasing until the last Day, because Christ is the rock, the builder of the Church as well as the Shepherd of His people. Christ is the supreme High Priest over all His house, this house that men pitilessly divided in their lack of love. The beauty and glory and the fruit it gave once in the beginning of its existence, has now fallen down like rotten fruit. If this is wrong, where is that Ap- ostolic Church in its eagerness to witness to the Christ, to lay itself down on the altar of martyrs, to humble itself in the arena of shame and pain rather than deny the Christ? Where is that discipleship fervour of faith and burning with desire to global evangelization? Oh Christ, how much more must Your Precious Body be pierced and lanced and fragmented before we realize that we may have di- vided Your Body as tools of the “divider” himself. We have done it unwillingly and unwittingly. Help us to find and preserve that remnant so sacred called Your Church. Help us to put it together again. A Church unity determined to bring Your Second Coming as a revelation globally.

Although we know that there is an ontological abyss between the Holy Spirit and us, it can be re- moved by the Holy Spirit and he can reach us to show us that the real Christian is the one who is inwardly a Christian, and the real spiritual unity is and will be in the heart. Unity will not be of the letter but of the Spirit.

Indeed, regardless of how much we expect from the Church, regardless of how we see its failures but triumphs as well, regardless of the Cross of unity we place on her shoulders, in the end, we know out of experience that this Cross will be carried by the pure in heart. If we are to decide now for unity, then we must open our hearts and receive those souls that are gifted by the Holy Spirit. When we will finally trust the poor in spirit who are willing to carry the Cross of unity on their shoulders, then we will have a completely open field in which we could begin to sow the seeds of a true Christian unity that will convert the world and fragrance it. The churches should allow the Holy Spirit who is the inner source of Christian unity, to renew and fragrance them first, then in their turn they will fragrance nation after nation, bringing them all to be one in the Truth, thus per- fuming the Mystical Body of Christ. So the churches, especially our Orthodox Church, should be careful not to extinguish the Spirit and persecute the variety of gifts he distributes for the well be- ing of the Church, but allow His flame to purify and enliven the interior of the Church to progress it into a spiritual unity.

The Holy Spirit calls out to his Bride for unity too and says:

THIRD SYMPOSIUM ON ECUMENISM AT FARFA 67

“Pray, that I, the utter fullness of God, the utterance of your spirit, the light in your eyes, descend in your midst to show the world how wrong it was, to show to the churches their iniquity of their division and how, although they declare daily that there is one Lord, one faith, one baptism and one God who is Father of all, over all, through all and within all, are uncharitable with one an- other. We 4 cannot say: “You have done everything to preserve the unity I offered you in the begin- ning when you were still a child and in my arms”. Today you say: “I am not a child any longer and I can walk by myself”. And since then you stepped out of my embrace and accustomed your steps to walk your own way… O child of the Father! Fruit of the Son! My City and My Bride! Your fra- grance left you… are there going to be any survivors left in you when I will descend in full force?” (9.11.94 True Life in God )

I think it is also about time that we stop creating new Gethsemanes for our Lord. Instead, let us place garlands of love on our Lord’s Head. I will conclude by saying that unity will come only when all of us will truly begin to love Jesus Christ.

4. The Holy Trinity.

Letter from Bishop Anil Couto following the 2007 Pilgrimage, which visited the Seven Churches of Revelation in Turkey and the Sacred Grotto of Revelation on Pat- mos in Greece:

Bishop Anil Couto, Bishop of Jalandhar, Punjab, India.

The TLIG Pilgrimage to Turkey and Greece was a great spiritual and ecu- menical experience as two years ago. His Grace Archbishop Vincent and myself enjoyed every moment of it. Thank you for the invitation, for the perfect arrangements as well as for the first class treatment accorded to the Bishops! There are no words to thank you adequately for this great privilege. Please convey our heartfelt thanks to Vassula and the entire organizing committee. Let us pray for the spiritual renewal of the world and the unity of the Church. It will happen only when the world TRULY accepts the salvific message of Christ. Let us pray for that very espe- cially. May TLIG be God's chosen instrument to call the Church and the world to repentance and new life.

With love, prayers and every good wish in the Lord, +Anil Couto

Archbishop Vincent Concessao concluded Vassula's meeting, at St. Columba's School Grounds in New Delhi (15.1. 2006), with the following address to all present:

Archbishop Vincent Concessao, Archbishop of New Delhi, India.

All that we have heard is what is written in the Bible but this is in a very per- sonal way and shows that the Lord continues to speak. He is wonderful in His ways He is a God of surprises and we do not know whom He will use to communicate His messages. There was a time when Vassula did not practice; the Church meant nothing to her. This is a tremendous source of hope for all of us. The Lord is concerned about us and accompanies us on our pilgrimage here on earth. She emphasized the place of love in our lives and the Lord’s desire that we are all united and to be dis- united is in itself a state of sin. In a few days we will be celebrating Christian Unity octave. The theme is: Where two or three are gathered in my name, I am among them. The gathering is taking place. There was a time when we were enemies to one another. There is a long way to go be- cause Jesus prayed: "May they be one", that is the Unity that the Father wants among us and, as Vassula said, This unity of peace does not imply more expen- diture, she managed to come with one ticket!!! This is the kind of unity the Lord wants and I re- quest all of you to pray for Christian Unity. We do not know the way the Lord wants us to unite but the goal is clear He wants one Church, one Shepherd.

Vassula thank you. God bless you and your ministry.

True Life in God

Article published in The Voice of Delhi, a magazine of the Catholic Church in India, on July 2005, right after the True Life in God pilgrimage.

Vassula Rydens quest for Ecumenism

Bishop Anil Couto

Vassula Ryden may not exactly have become a household name but she is a spiritual celebrity enough for Christians across churches and denominations to listen to her and want to seriously follow the True Life in God spiritual path revealed by the Lord through her. She has visited Delhi at least thrice since 1999 to talk to bishops and pastors, catholic Sunday congregations and ecumenical gatherings about the True Life in God messages.

Since she claims to receive these revelations from God directly she is an enigma both to the Greek Orthodox Church to which she belongs and to the Roman Catholic Church towards which she strongly tends in her di- vinely-inspired vocation to promote the unity of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church under the pastoral authority of the Chair of Peter i.e. the Bishop of Rome or Pope of the Universal Church.

It was in November 1985 when Vassula was living in Bangladesh with her hus- band (a Swedish international development expert) and two sons that she began to receive the True Life in God messages from each person of the Holy Trinity and also from the Blessed Virgin Mary. From 1955 Vassula has not been a church-goer; she did not know any catechism, leave alone theol- ogy; she had hardly any acquaintance with the Bible. In fact she was a pleasure-loving worldly woman who loved to play tennis, swim, model, socialize in clubs, paint and play host to her hus- bands businessmen friends. It was in such strange circumstances that the call of God came to her to leave her unspiritual path and be a prophet of True Life in God.

She received Gods revelations in an extraordinary way her hand being taken over to write these messages. The handwriting in which these messages are written is big, vertical and clearly distin- guishable from her normal pattern of writing. According to the graphological interpretation of her manuscripts her handwriting displays an extraordinary telluric force. The writer is filled with a force that goes beyond her normal self with invisible power. She is an intermediary, like a centre of transmission and amplification (cf. A Divine Bridal Call, p. 6). Graphologists would call such handwriting hieratic . The messages dating from 1985 up until March 2003 and contained in 107 ordinary notebooks are now published in 12 volumes titled True Life In God. More will follow.

The messages are God s gifts of spiritual healing, love and mercy directed to all . Vassula, who has been given this particular spiritual charism, is called to become an ardent witness of Christ, carry- ing the Cross to the four corners of the secularized world. She is called to be an instrument of di- vine providence and an echo of God s Word, compassion, reconciliation and peace together with many other disciples to whom the Lord has also given similar vocation, although in a different way. In spite of her spiritual sublimity, Vassula remains a very ordinary, humble, affectionate, sim- ple, down to earth Christian who is a housewife and a mother.

ADDRESS - LETTERS FROM CLERGY 73

As testified by many theologians the messages are not a new revelation but a reminder of the Gos- pel of Christ. The basic vocation of Vassula is to share the Good news through proclamation in communities and assemblies of prayer and meditation, to diffuse her writings by publication and draw souls to Christ Our Lord and Saviour.

One of the strongest elements in these messages is the gravity of the divisions between churches and the urgency of the work for unity of the Church and the importance of the Ecumenical move- ment. The Lord is clear that the wounds in His Body are due to lack of fidelity, humility, mutual love and on account of the rivalry and competition for earthly power, egoism and pride that are rampant within the Church.

Vassula speaks of an interior vision of three iron bars symbolizing the three major Christian bodies, Catholics, Orthodox and Protestants, calling their heads to meet. However, to meet they have to bend. Nevertheless, The Lord has revealed to Vassula that the primacy of the Bishop of Rome is indispensable to unity. This truth the World Council of Churches has realised and therefore the Lord is asking us, through Vassula, to pray ardently for the WCC and its ecumenical efforts. The ultimate vision of unity as revealed to her is of all Christians celebrating the one Eucharist at one altar and praying to and worshipping the Lord before one Tabernacle .

However, it is to the Orthodox that she addresses herself primarily. With great courage and risking rejection, opposition, criticism, suspicion and even persecution, she insists on orthodoxy that they have to re-unite with the Church of Rome and acknowledge the Pope as the Vicar of Christ and Successor of Peter unconditionally. Truly speaking, the East and the West have always maintained intact the essentials of the One, Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, albeit clothed in different ex- pressions of faith and worship.

At the same time the message to the Roman Catholic Church is to realise, in the light of God s Spirit, that the Body of Christ needs its two lungs to breath freely i.e. the East and the West. Fur- thermore, there is another pertinent message to the Church of the West: glory will shine from the Eastern bank that is why I say to the House of the West: turn your eyes towards the East, do not weep bitterly over the Apostasy and the destruction of your House; do not panic, for tomorrow you will eat and drink together with My shoot from the Eastern bank My Spirit will bring you together. Have you not heard that the East and the West will become one kingdom? Have you not heard that I shall settle for one date? That one date refers to the date of Easter which differs in the Roman Catholic Church and the Orthodox Churches. Bishop Anil Couto is now Bishop of Jalandhar, Punjab, India.

True Life in God International Inter-religious Pilgrimage Egypt, October 2002 In the footsteps of the Holy Family 21 st - 30 th October 2002

At the beginning of the ‘True Life in God’ pilgrimage in Egypt all the participants of the ecumenical and inter-religious group were invited to a Divine Liturgy held at the Greek Orthodox Monas- tery of St. George in Old Cairo. Copied here is the address of Bishop of Babylon, His Lordship Theofylaktos, given at the end of the Liturgy on 22 nd October 2002:

My beloved brothers, bishops, elders of all the Christian de- nominations, I welcome you with special love in this holy monastery. I bring you the greetings and blessings of His All-Holiness, our Patriarch, Pope of Alexandria and all Af- rica, His Holiness Peter VII, who couldn’t be with you all because of other duties. He is wishing you a pleasant stay in the country of the Nile, Egypt.

The place in which you are today is not only holy but also ‘Theovadistos’ (walked by God). Here the Holy Family came and stayed for approximately 18 months, fleeing Herod’s ter- ror. Here Jesus Christ took His first steps, here the little Em- manuel heard the first chirping of the birds. Our monastery is one of the most ancient monuments that North Africa has to show, built in the 4 th century AC. Here is where St. George the great martyr was imprisoned for 30 months and from here his martyrdom started and ended in a small town in Palestine.

I’m especially glad for all of us gathering here today and raised our hands in common prayer and supplication towards God for peace for the whole world and for all the peoples on earth. Humanity is suffering from wars and other kinds of catastrophes. We, as the representatives of all Christian denominations and other religions, have the duty to teach our peoples to live in reconciliation with all people. Unfortunately, we all have forgotten that we have common roots, common Father, God and Creator of the Universe. Enough! The earth is tired of receiving, for centuries now, unjustly shed brotherly blood! Man must understand someday that differences aren’t solved with weapons but by the language of the heart and of love. Someday we all must work, and are obliged to do it with all our power, towards this direction: to try and reconcile man first with God and then with his fellowman, because in the Eyes of God we are all the same! St. Paul says there is no Jew nor Greek, slave or free man, man or woman. All, in the Eyes of Christ, are one.

Our gathering today should have a cause, so that all of us make it our daily program in our life to pray everyday so that peace prevails in the world. We should take the message of peace and love and carry it to the peoples of all the earth. We can indeed be the new apostles that will speak of love and peace. Everyday we hear by the media about catastrophes and violence among peoples.

ADDRESS - LETTERS FROM CLERGY 75

Wherever one might turn his eyes will see destruction, fires, human casualties and will hear weep- ing and laments. Maybe it sounds illogical, but we, the Patriarchate of Alexandria, for 2000 years now, coexist in harmony, in friendship, with love, with all the people of Egypt that are Muslims. We never had any problem. See every morning when the sun rises, it doesn’t differentiate where it will send it’s rays, either to the Christians, the Muslims, the Hindus or the Buddhists because we all live under the big sky, the love of God! If we put aside our personal interests, I’m sure that some day we will all be happy. We will shake hands in reconciliation. I believe and hope and pray that this day will come where the peoples of the world will meet at one point, will shake hands, will la- ment for the blood that was shed and they will reconcile for ever in their life.

From the land of Egypt, which is ‘Theovadistos’ (walked by God) exactly because Our Lord Jesus Christ walked on it, we are to send today to the ends of the world a brave message of love and peace: as we gathered today in the Church under the same dome and we didn’t differentiate Chris- tians from non-Christians or of other religions. From today we will announce to the whole world that men can live in reconciliation as long as they learn to love first their God, whoever He is, whatever His Name is, and then I’m certain that love for their fellowman will spring also.

Pass on to the leaders of your Churches, to the leaders of your religions, to your people, to your communities, to your towns, to your villages, to your cities, to your countries our greetings and our blessings, our love. That we pray, a few Greeks, a few Christians, whatever the number, we pray for peace, for the whole world so that next year that I hope to have you close by, the smiles be wide! To reveal the message that there is no more war, no men are killed, there isn’t anymore un- justly brotherly bloodshed on earth!

His Lordship Theofylaktos, Bishop of Babylon
