Vassula receives FourthGoldPeaceAward
(continued)
Christians and Churches, educational institutions,
“Western-style” government or security bodies, and
Muslims who do not share its severe interpretation of sharia
law. Bishop Oliver overwhelmed with this difficult situation
in his country, went in his Church one day to pray and
ask our Blessed Mother and Jesus to do something for his
country that has, in addition to the extremist forces, much
corruption; he asked Jesus to stop all of these killings. As he
was in deep prayer, Jesus unexpectedly manifested Himself
to Him carrying a long sword in both of His hands. Deeply
moved and shocked at the same time, BishopOliver saw Jesus
approaching him while fear started to grip him, wondering
why was Jesus going over to him with a sword. Then as Jesus
reached him, he passed the sword to him. As soon as he took
the sword from Jesus, in his hands it turned into a Rosary!
Jesus said to him:
“Boko Haram is gone! Boko Haram
is gone! Boko Haram is gone!”
Three times! Yes, indeed,
we heard one more story about the power the Rosary has
against the evil powers. [Turn to page 25 to read about John
Campbell from Minnesota and how he connected with
Bishop Doeme to deliver 1,400 rosaries to him].
He concluded with the great news that there is now a new
government after the last election this year, which is very
serious about fighting corruption.This, he said was a miracle!
Bishop Oliver said that he and the members of his church
began to construct a shrine in honour of our Lady, but it
went slow because of lack of funds. We, the True Life in God
family, decided to make a collection for this project and offer
it to him to continue building the shrine. This donation is
also as a token of our love for the protection that both Jesus
and Mary are giving to his country.
He went on to tell us that the church members partake in all
sorts of spiritual activities, such as daily morning Adoration.
He is trying to encourage families to live their lives with
fasting and prayer. His testimony was
powerful and uplifting because once
again, we realized how close to us
Jesus is; He is aware of the struggles,
the persecutions and the misery the
Christians are undergoing right now. In
the Messages of TLIG, Jesus is calling
for prayer, an unceasing prayer, asking
everyone to learn to pray the Rosary, for
it is through the Rosary that the devil
can be subdued and chained.
Right after that wonderful testimony,
Bishop Toppo was invited by Vassula to
deliver his speech. He talked powerfully
about his experience of Unity. In Ranchi
a city south and near Calcutta, where
he lives, he often meets up with many
groups from other religions such as Muslims and Hindus.
He tells them that there is only
One God
and we are all His
children. He continued saying that yes, there are differences
among us such as social backgrounds, religious backgrounds,
economic backgrounds. The most important aspect of
our diversity is to accept one another. When he meets up
with 15 different Christian denominations, such as at this
Pilgrimage, he delivers a very simple Message: We are under
One
God,
One
Jesus,
One
Holy Spirit,
One
Baptism! He said
that he invites to his diocese all pastors, priests, leaders of
other groups and talks to them about Unity. Furthermore,
during Easter Monday they all gather together to celebrate
the
Risen Christ
, and they do sing together and pray the
Rosary together. He concluded by saying: Jesus is The Lord,
The only One! Amen.
13th October – Tuesday
As we do every morning, we started our day by praying the
“Our Father” in Aramaic in the assembly hall. The speaker
that morning was Archbishop Kissag Mouradian from
Rome Pilgrimage 2015
