Vassula with Bishop de Penha and Organizers, Celine and Agnello

The Bombay TLIG group set to work months before Vassula's arrival to prepare the public meeting, enlisting the help of its volunteers and informing the hierarchy of the West Bombay diocese, the Christian quarter of Bombay. His Excellency, Auxiliary Bishop of Bombay, Bosco de Penha was very pleased to meet Vassula in person and learn of the Messages and True Life in God activities. He carefully listened to Vassula's testimony of conversion and discussed, at great length, her mission of Unity. He was intrigued to know her family's reaction and acceptance of her gift, and Vassula answered truthfully that her husband and her family believed she had been given a special gift, but that it took a period of adjustment for them to accept the change in her life.

Bishop Bosco listening intently to Vassula speak

This is evangelization; each one of us has a story to tell and is called to witness of the wonders of the Holy Spirit's intervention in our lives. We can testify to the outpouring of the Spirit which raises souls from darkness and sets them alight to burn with the fire for God's Kingdom. We must give glory to God by proclaiming His saving Work as in the Parable of the Samaritan Woman (Jn 4: 4-42) and in the Parable of the Lamp: "No one who lights a lamp conceals it with a vessel or sets it under a bed; rather he places it on a lampstand so that those who enter may see the light." (Lk 8:16)

Vassula presented His Excellency with a copy of the One-Book edition of the True Life in God Messages and the booklet of the 2005 True Life in God International Ecumenical Pilgrimage. He wished her well on her mission in India, and she gratefully thanked him for giving us his time and his blessing.

December 10 Public Meeting in the Duruelo Convent School Grounds, West Bombay

TLIG event organizer Celine Vieira introduces Vassula

Since the Christmas celebrations were approaching, Vassula cited the example of the secularization of Christmas. "God has given us many prophecies in True Life in God. After the prophecies of the Two Towers (11 Sept.'91), and the Tsunami (10 Sept.'87, 18 Feb.'93), another prophecy has come to pass. On the 24th of December 1991, the Lord said:

- citadel after citadel is being besieged by the Rebel; I come today and offer all mankind My Peace but very few listen; today I come with peace-terms and a Message of Love, but the peace I am offering is blasphemed by the earth and the Love I am giving them is mocked and jeered in this Eve of My Birth; mankind are celebrating these days without My Holy Name; My Holy Name has been abolished and they take the day of My Birth as a great holiday of leisure, worshipping idols; Satan has entered into the hearts of My children, finding them weak and asleep;

The audience was dismayed to realize the subtleness of this threat to our belief and gratefully received the warning to be vigilant and carefully guard our Christian traditions. We, as Christians, should be always ready and willing to stand up for our faith and values.
