The Life of Saint Virginia

It was on the 27th of May 1923, the feast day of all saints. On that morning Virginia's mother was getting ready to go to church, but she couldn't go because she had to give birth to the little baby girl Virginia. It was the last year of the ancient church, of the ancient feasts, because the communism epoch removed the Christian feasts as the scripture foresaw. The Christians of that time were mourning the removal of the saints' feasts, seeing in that the scriptures fulfilment: "even the times they will dare to change" (Dan 7:25). The parents of Virginia, Nicolae and Andreiana, were poor Christians and they raised their two children very hard, Virginia being the smallest one. In 1924, when Virginia was one year old, she fell sick of a very strange illness that was eating her stomach from inside. But by this suffering, of the little child Virginia, The Lord wanted to show that she was a chosen vessel. Her parents were crying and praying to God for the child's healing. Her suffering in that year meant a big secret, because later, God was going to announce through her, the wound suffered by the church at that time. Her poor parents were praying masses for her healing in church, because their only hope was God. They kept near the house a goat for milk and, because Virginia fell sick, they used the milk of the goat only for her, because they did not have anything else. The days of fasting were holy for the entire family, but on the other days, Virginia was fed with the milk from the goat. The sickness of the child was very advanced; the parents were weeping looking at the child whose skin and nails turned blue, and they lost the hope that the child would live. Besides this hard pain, she had another one, because a big dog of the city doctor killed the goat whose milk Virginia was fed from. Virginia's father went and wept at the Doctor's door. The Doctor was filled with kindness for these poor Christians and went to see the child who was about to die, and then he brought medicine for her healing. God searched the pain and sorrow of this house and He held out His hand to heal and create a new womb for Virginia, so she was brought to life again. Gradually, the child was healed. The heavens suffered in her body, it suffered for the church of Jesus Christ, because God had planned to work through His Word and bring through Virginia, healing for the church's wound. Virginia was then going to show that she is a church blessed of God, in which the lamb of God lived and talked with the Christian people who where born through this work of the Holly Spirit. When Virginia was four, her father died and the life of this family became very hard. The mother and the two children left their only hope and help to God. They went on all the holidays to the Holly Church, their only comfort. Virginia was now nine years old. Her elder sister, Maria, was doing her daily work in the house, and Virginia thought to go in the village to pray at the doors so she can gather the cows to graze them, to earn some food. Her mother Andreiana was lying in bed suffering of pellagra. Some open hearted people, gave to the child Virginia their cows to graze them, and in the evening after she received some food as payment for her work, she would come home to give the food she received to her mother and to her sister. Virginia had only one little dress and she was very careful when she was running after the cows, not to hang her dress in the thorns of the bushes around. On the working days she used to wear the dress inside out, and in the evening before each holiday, she washed her 1

dress to wear it the second day at church. Everyday she went with the cows to graze, and very often she cried. The kids of the village always made fun of her and laughed at her and treated her as a poor and stupid child, and they threw rocks at her. Every day she waited for the evening to come so she can go and give the food earned to her mother. In the glade she went with the cows, there was an apple tree, but his fruit were sour and no one ate them. Virginia ate the apples from that tree, and in the evening she would take them home, but her mother and sister couldn't eat them because to them the apples were very sour. She was amazed, but sad, and she didn't understand why the apples were sweet for her. She was happy that she had the apples to eat because this way she could keep all the food earned for her mother and sister. The whole day she would cry and say: «Mother of God, who are in heaven, make my mother healthy again, because we are little and we do not have a father. Please don't let us remain without my mother». One day, she saw a big white light, and the mother of God holding the little baby Jesus in her arms, and she said: «Look! There is the mother of God with the little baby Jesus, just like she is in our icon at home!» Then she heard: «Virginia, I am the mother of God and your mother, too. Don't cry any more because my son Jesus Christ will make your mother healthy again so she can take care of you.» Virginia started to cry. To cry for the joy and hope she had for her mother's healing. In the evening when she went home, she told everything to her mother, who understood that the child had a heavenly vision. The second day, she went again with the cows, and in the evening she saw the heavenly light again and a beam of light from heaven to earth through which came down a saint with a beard, surrounded by beams of light, and holding in his hand a bright cross. He called her by her name: «Virginia, I am the Son of the mother of God and I have come to heal your mother. Don't cry! I'm always going to come in your path from now on and I will never leave you, but look, I ask you for something for your mother's healing. Give me your hair to have from you.» But Virginia, knowing that it's a big sin to cut her hair, responded to God: «God, my mother told me that it's a big sin to cut my hair, ask me for something else, maybe I can give it to you.» «Give me a hand so I can have it from you.» «God, if I am left with only one hand, I can not brush my hair by myself, I can not dress by myself, I can not wash, I can not work, ask me for something else.» «Then give me a leg to have it from you.» «Oh God, ask me again, maybe there is something else that I can give you, because I can't run after the cows with only one leg, and I will do pain to other people having to carry me around. Ask me something else, don't leave! I want you to heal my mother.» «Oh, what can I ask from you? I will ask for an eye so it can be My help through you, so I can look with My eye through your eye, because I want you to be for Me a tent on earth.»

The Life of Saint Virginia

Virginia was comforted because it didn't seem too hard with one eye, and putting her hand on her left eye, to see how she sees with one eye, she turned happily to tell God that He could take one eye from her for her mother's healing, but when she looked to the place where the light appeared, God had already started going up to heaven, and so she shouted: «God, look, I‟ll give you an eye! Come back to take it» And then God spoke from the clouds: «Be good Virginia. I always will come to you. When you will be 14 years old, then I will take your eye. Go home now, because your mother has got out of bed .From now on, I will always be with you.» Virginia, filled with happiness, didn't stay any longer with the cows and went with them to the houses from which she took them in the morning and while she was walking home with the food earned, she sees her mother coming to her. Virginia shouted: «Mother, are you healthy again?» «I have been made healthy, for a young saint with a bright cross in his hand, appeared near the bed and told me to get up and be cured for your weeping. He helped me to get up, and I came to meet you.» Virginia told her mother about her meeting with the Lord Jesus Christ in the glade where she was with the cows. Her mother started to understand that the child was filled with the gift of the Holly Spirit. A heavenly happiness came over their poor house. Virginia was growing and the Lord Jesus Christ made from her a ship of the Holly Spirit so afterwards to start through her a big heavenly Christian Work for the preparation of Christian people who were going to listen and obey the Lord's commandment. When she was 14 years old, the Lord fulfilled His word and took the sight of Virginia's left eye, and later this eye was covered by whiteness. Her talks with the Lord Jesus Christ, with the Mother of God, with the saints and archangels of the heavens, became a continuous heavenly work on earth that she spread to all that heard and came to the village where this blessed work arose. When she was 32 years old, in the spring of 1955, before the beginning of the Great Lent, Virginia received heavenly word to start fasting for forty days, time in which she could only receive Holly Bread and Holly Water, but she responded: «God, I will not be able to fast so long.» «You will be able to Virginia, because The Holy Spirit will shine over you, so after this I can bring over you a big heavenly gift, a heavenly work like it has never been on earth and about which is written in that Book descended from heaven, because I want to prepare my pathway to the second coming, and to illuminate a nation, and to distinguish it from other nations, and to clean it of all the temptations of the body and of the spirit, so it can work holiness on earth by fear of God.» Virginia had a spirit full of humility for those who came from heaven, and she, in her simplicity, imagined that God will give her a gift to save themselves from poorness, and she said: «God, help me with the holy heaven, help me to obey you and help me to accomplish the time of fasting». In this time, she had near her a Christian sister with the name of Elena 3

The Life of Saint Virginia

from the village of Valea LungĂŁ, who, although she was married, she lived a pure life with her husband, because she had the gift of prophecy. This Christian virgin stood all the time of fasting near Virginia, and talked with the Christians that came. Virginia went through this fasting time with a lot of difficulty, because, sometimes those that were around her and her mother Andreiana, had very little hope that she will survive until the end of the forty days of lent, but no one had the courage to disobey God's word and give her to eat. Their only hope was in the Word of God, who came to bring this news of preparation for Virginia. She went through the time of fasting very hard, and the Saturday morning before the Resurrection of the Lord was approaching. Virginia's face brightened in that day, and she started to speak with the Christians, and when the church bells started to ring, announcing the Resurrection of the Lord, Virginia got up and started talking to those near her, telling them that the Three Hierarchs, Saint Basil, Saint Gregory and Saint John, dressed in white clothes of archangels and all three touched their crosses on her forehead, and she got up and received from them The Holly Communion; the Three Hierarchs were seen exactly the same by sister Elena, the one that watched over Virginia. A heavenly peace came over Virginia, who fell asleep in a sleep full of peace. Suddenly, those who were around her heard her voice through which God was speaking: "-Peace to you! Christ is risen, Christ is risen, Christ is risen! I am The Lord Jesus Christ, I am not in body, but in Spirit. I have descended on earth in Spirit to choose a people and to tell them the secrets of these times. I am The Word of God, and I have come to talk on earth, to prepare My way for the Second Coming, as it is written in My Book. I am not this body, this body is a trumpet from which I blow for these times, to announce you of everything it will be in the days to come". From that moment, Virginia showed that she was a ship who carries heavenly word, word that flows through her mouth like a lively spring until God raised her into heaven. She didn't feel anything when God spoke, and when she would wake up, she would ask the people around her if God spoke and what he spoke. That is how on the Easter of 1955, started the work of prophecy of the Holly Spirit through Virginia. A lot of Christians stood and listened to the words of God, and many returned to the church to fulfil the commandment of God. She was sent by God everywhere. The priest from the village, seeing the scope of this heavenly work and being afraid that he will have to give account to the church leaders and to the authorities, tried to stop this heavenly work, using the reason that Virginia is sick. The communist authorities took Virginia to Psychiatric hospitals where the unchristian people tormented and ill-treated her, because the word of God continued to flow. While she was talking they pricked her, they burned her with a lighted cigarette, they put unclean things in her mouth, they put balls of burning iron under her arms, and they didn't care that she was sick. After she was kept a while and tortured, they would let her go home, and the Christian people who were eating from this heavenly work (they were hidden) suffered along this work of the Holly Spirit, which they tried to choke by all means. But God found a way to cover her from her persecutors and Archangel Michael announced the heavenly decision. He was her companion during heavenly visions, showing her Godâ&#x20AC;&#x;s plan to protect her from the persecutors. He took Virginia and went along with her on a green field and, reaching a water with a bridge on it, having passed the bridge, a much more younger man than her appeared. In that moment the Archangel Michael said: 4

The Life of Saint Virginia

«Verginica, do you see this young man? Soon God will bring him before you and he will be a protection for you before the unbelievers.» Saint Virginia saddened and didn't understand these words thinking that this was about marriage, and thinking of her virginity told Saint Michael with tears in her eyes «Holy Michael do you want to leave me?» «„Don‟t be sad, Verginico, don‟t fear, I will never leave you, because Lord gave me the mission to be your companion all the time, but the young man will be a veil upon that God makes it through you. A lot of your body suffering, this man will take and he will support you as old Joseph protected Jesus Christ‟s Holy Mother. Lord will enclose with the Holy Spirit fire, because your body is God‟s throne and manger in which His Spirit descends and He is speaking to the people of Israel from the end of times.» This vision has soon fulfilled, because God had sent her in Manesti Commune (Dambovita District), and that apparition the young man Stoica Nicolae happened to be there, who then, joined to this salvation work. Then, with spiritual love he loved and cared for the vessel through whom the Holy Spirit Word unction had been flowing, because all the messages were joined with pleasant fragrance which made many people to walk on God‟s ways. This is the way God had prepared this young man‟s heart and in the summer of 1960 in Manesti church was done the wedding followed by a Christian wedding party in which God made His Work of speaking. Since that moment he had become the support of the house, responding instead of her in front of the authorities who were coming to get her and to torture her ruthlessly. The prisons in which Saint Virginia stayed between 1956-1960 at Jilava, at Sibiu, and forced interments in which she suffered pitiless tortures, had brought Virginia to great body sickness, but after the wedding with the young man, even she didn‟t have been home, she had been ill all the time. Until 1967-when treason and persecution had started, Saint Virginia sheltered under this young man protection, then, together with other Christians he was taken to prison. Saint Virginia remained in Christian‟s care and in the two children‟s care, whom she had adopted after the wedding from her sister who had six children. After getting out from the prison, the young man took care further on of God‟s vessel and of the all house cares, walking along God‟s Work everywhere he was sent to. In 1973, after medical finding of the Plataresti Hospital from which Virginia‟s virginity was certified, under K.G.B.‟s threatens which wanted to arrest them again, he was forced to separate from her, and, believing that he would make her free, left her. Loosing the connection with the Work of God, with the God‟s stimulus, he got weak spiritually and remarried a worldly woman with whom he made two children, making himself a family, but he left no separation book between him and Verginia. Left in God‟s care, suffering all the time, Saint Virginia bore God-The Word in His Work until her passing to eternal life on the 14-th of December 1980. The people born from this heavenly Work calls for her in all necessities and she works from the saint‟s group and helps every soul who cries for help. Saint Virginia is called by God „heavenly trumpet‟, she was called the „Good Shepherd‟s little whistle‟ and „heavenly vessel‟ on earth.

The Life of Saint Virginia

Many times she had to suffer in the KGB prisons and mental hospitals where she had to suffer cruel persecution. All of this was making her body very weak. But God took care of His vessel, and even though she was suffering all the time, Virginia carried God-The Word in His work until she died on December 14th, 1980. The people born out of this heavenly work calls upon her in all their needs and she now works from heaven together will tens of thousands of saints who are witnessing this work of God. Virginia helps now from Heaven every soul who was asks her for help. She was called by God, heavenly trumpet, the whistle of the Good Shepherd and heavenly vessel on earth. There are thousands and thousands of witnessing pages, which were written while she received The Word of God, and which were food for all God loving Christian people. Many believing sons of these people of God witnessed the healings and the blessings and the powers which worked through this chosen vessel, and we will put here and in the future issues of The Word of God some of them: The one who is with Me, even if he dies forever he will be alive because the mother Verginica has never abandoned her people and she still is the shepherd of the flock she was gifted with by God. This is what God said through her voice three months before be went to heaven: «Israel, the people loved by God, her I speak the raising of My ship from you, but I will speak to you through your branches, I will speak till the end. I prophesize that when I take this vessel with Me, you will divide in two parts: you the people with holy name some of you will become fat sheep who will give birth to lambs, some other will become traitors, but don‟t be afraid you little Israel, because I will speak to you and I will never let you down because this work of Holy Spirit will never end. I will pass through death this ship, and I will give it strength and I will send to prepare My way to you and your way to Me. You Christian people, the Romanian people, so I speak: This is the work I am willing to.» The Disciples

The Will of Saint Virginia -fragments-

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, My beloved children, with holy love I share with you words from the Holy Spirit and teachings to serve to your souls' salvation, as thanksgiving to your love you have showed to me and wrapped into remembrance of my birthday – the Sunday of Saints. In the name of the Lord, I urge you to make use of your entire will and power, to do your best to fulfil them, for in this way I will be stronger among you and the Lord will pour a greater blessing for His people. My children entrusted to me by the Lord, here is what the Holy Spirit is giving to me to share with you: live in peace with the Lord Jesus Christ, live in peace with one another, be united in everything in the name of the Lord, be brothers in the name of the Lord and with the Lord. Do not look for your own benefit and each one of you must serve his neighbour, since it is only in this way you will come to accomplish the Lord‟s law. Do not stop doing good things, because you will reap what you seed. But be careful how you work with the good, so that it will remain your work. Whatever you do, do as for the Lord, not as for people, because the Lord pays back. Urge one another with humbleness for good works, support each other 6

The Life of Saint Virginia

with brotherly love in times of trouble, be patient and do not pay back evil for evil, but forgive each other the mistakes tirelessly, so that the Father in the heavens will forgive everything too. My children, watch yourselves with much care, so that you will not upset the spirit of your brother, because the Lord is living inside you. You must honour the Lord's Spirit, who lives in you, and do not despise what the Lord has chosen and loved, so that you will not be in opposition to the work of the Lord. Only in this way your heart will be full of peace, only in this way you will live together in peace. Do good works, because they will be the payment for your sins and so you will be free of punishment. Do not say you can not do the good work. A good work is even when you tell your brother a good word, give him a pure smile, an encouragement, a brother-like warm look. A good work is also if you are a peacemaker. If you, as a brother, when another brother comes to you to talk ill of someone among you, if you unite with him by bowing your head and being ashamed of stopping his hate and his disgraceful action, then what kind of peacemaker are you? That is how the wickedness strengthens among you. Do not be indulgent with the wickedness. Then how would you fulfil the law of the Lord, what kind of brothers you both would be? Because real brothers are ready to go into fire one for the other. Do not upset one another, because this is what these acts mean. And you, who are wiser, help the people who suffer undeservedly and do not let the wickedness conquer, and so you will kill the bad habits in you. Send away your evil habits and thoughts, so that you would not kill each other with the wickedness, so that that you would not kill each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x;s spirit. This is the way you need to work always, with faith and hope, without judging by yourselves, but by letting Godâ&#x20AC;&#x;s judgment be in all the needs, so that tiredness would not be in vain. My children, watch over yourselves, so that you will not commit sins, watch with fear, my dear child, because the sin becomes a wall between you and God and so sometime, you might get to a point when you may not be able to receive the light from God, and that is how you get darker, colder, and you get empty of your soul, you estrange from the law deeds and from holiness and then you will have no more light, and you are not going well anymore, and you are getting cold and you do not want God anymore. Because where the Lord's Spirit is lessened because of the sins, there the knowledge and the longing for God are slipping away. But He is stays and waits for your penitence, your humbleness, your shout in the dark, so that He would come and save you, absolve you from the linkage of sin and pour again over you the rain of the Holy Spirit. But do not dare to hope that by committing sins all the time, the Lord will always forgive you. He will be merciful indeed, but do not forget that He gave you much and He will ask much from you. The Lord has loved you very much as a love similar to His love for those who are smaller than Him has never existed. How do you love Him, how much do you love Him? Perhaps some of you say that you love Him, and maybe you hate your brother. But do not forget that you can show your love for the Lord only by loving the brothers in the same way you love yourselves. This, and not any other, is the love for the Lord. Oh! You will not do so. You are doing to the Lord whatever you do to your brother, either good or bad. Be devoted to this teaching. My children, now more than ever it is time to be ready for the Lord's coming. And He has said that the end would have arrived when we see that love is getting colder. You see that the love for God got colder everywhere, but this meaning is broad and I am shaking when I see and know that your love has gotten colder too, although you had it all from the Lord through the words of this prophecy that feeds you from the Holy Spirit. Weeks are passing by and you do not sing anymore to the Lord songs of glory, with your heart and with your mouth, you do not meet in two or three in the name of the Lord for advice, you do not wish heavenly joy, you have got colder in your spirit and this 7

The Life of Saint Virginia

is a deeper pain, because you are not praying with your whole heart, with yearning and thirst as it is when you are hungry or thirsty. And if you do this as God taught you, you do this to fulfil the Lord's law and word, but not as a result of the love or longing to talk with God in prayer with fear and trembling. During the prayer, the angels are ready to bear all your words high up, the Lord is ready to listen to you, but you are using your mouth and not your heart, you are with God only with the reading of the prayer and not with your mind. I urge you, in the name of God, to come back to the prayer with diligence, with care and with love. When you stay and pray, analyse yourselves, forgive everything so that you will not tell the prayer “Our Father” making it to be your punishment, when you are saying: and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. When you stay and pray, make the prayer to be your own, try to feel it, to live in it, to give it truly to the Lord, because then He stays in front of you and sees if your heart is at Him or not. Pray with absolute humbleness, talk with God with the language of your heart, with pure and clear thought. Get rid of the whole lay care, because the Lord is a jealous God. When you stay and pray in the spirit of truth, then the entire heaven stays in front of you, without being visible. Become one with the heaven and with its saints as if, during the prayer you pass beyond the boundaries of this world. This is the mystery of the real prayer, with which you meet in heaven. This is the way you should be at the time of the prayer. But you are cold – so that the heaven is grieving – because you do not feel the prayer, it does not pass through your heart. Oh, Lord, how many things You allow us to do! My dears, the Lord God does not allow you any more to honour Him only with your lips and He wishes you to do this with your heart, He is asking for your heart. He has pretensions to you, because He has never given to anyone what He gave to you, and in the time that is coming you will see what he has given to you. Lord does not allow you anymore to sleep during the night prayer, He wants all of you to be awake, from youngest to oldest, the entire people of this prophecy, such as you would wait for the Lord's coming, watching with hope and fear. You will not be allowed to pass beyond this bridge without prayer and fast. The prayers will be the best mediators, the greatest salvation for you. Oh, if you had made the prayer be your own, if you would have felt it, you would not have been bad at all and you would have been full of the Lord's Spirit, and you must know that the Lord was kind, without doubt. The prayer that is made with faith and humbleness would be considered our purity, such as you would say: God, have mercy on me, the sinful, since I have no deeds and no life from which to wait for my salvation; this is why I fall before you with fear, shouting with pain for the prayers of Your Mother, forgive me, You merciful, and save me… when we say so, our prayer must bore the heaven, feeling it with our whole heart. This is how we must pray. I urge you in the name of God. And I urge you again to watch yourselves, watch over each other‟s behaviour, so that you would not make each other insane, you would not destroy the love that each of you feels for God. This is a serious sin, which can not be unpunished; this sin sorrows the entire holy heaven, because The Lord has suffered so much just to bring a soul to His work, during these foggy times. Do not stop the Lord's plan by doing this, for you do not know what the Lord has to work with each of you, depending on the graft and each person‟s working in this work of the Holy Spirit. Do not judge one another anymore without justified reasons. This is up to the Lord, because, if you would forgive each other, then the Lord in heavens would send forgiveness and blessing over you. Watch the way you dress, so that you are be liked by the Lord and not by people, because if you do not fulfil what God has always taught you, if you do not watch over yourselves, over your behaviour, over your costumes, I tell you that you will cry and say: Oh, Lord, why we did not fulfil what You have taught us, so that we would have the joy with which You will arrive. My children, this is not a joke, the Lord was poor, bare-foot, humble and you are wearing parade clothes, as the people are. How will you stand by the Lord wearing such clothes, when He is only wearing a shirt? How many things God has given to you, so that you would not be in need of anything and you would be 8

The Life of Saint Virginia

happy? Have you, in your turn, made somebody happy, for the purpose of working to your happiness? If you have two coats from the Lord, have you given one of them to the poor people, as the Lord says? I am speaking with you clerically. God has given everything in abundance to you, He has suffered poverty and persecution just to give everything in abundance to those who love Him, but you, as a Christian, are keeping them for the fire, instead of working with them for the purpose of saving your soul. Only what you give to the one who is in need is yours for good, the rest is for fire. Give all you have to the Lord, so that you will have an unbreakable treasury, thinking that the entire earth, together with all that is on it, will burn and you will still be nude and poor, loosing the eternal happiness, because of some years you did not want to give to Lord, for the purpose of being with Him both on the earth and in the holy heavens. Life on earth is short, so do not lose the other, the eternal one, for this. Only you can prepare your place in heaven, as beautiful as you wish. 1st of July 1980
