Immaculate Mother will soon give again the men a more abundant participation

son, you know better than any other what honour, a man returns to me when

place on this Earth that I cherish because it is the stay of the man I
want to save and that I see it constantly impregnated with my long
desire that I once spread in a bloody way on the Golgotha, and since then
it was unceasingly covered of it in a non bloody but not less true way, in
the sacrifice of my altars. To give me the
possibility immolating me for the love of the souls, it is to procure
me with a glory which is beyond the human intelligence ; and here is
My son, what I am asking you. While my enemies destroy my temples

construction of my sanctuary. " NDAG 316 " ...

not leave imperfect the Work that my Love for the souls has
started. " NDAG 356 " Tell
them that... my Work will leave the bosom of indifference and that it shall
rise over the maliciousness of the men and the rage of the demons to go
spread the peace of my Heart in the whole world and bring back the
souls in the way of the Truth. " NDAG 338 " This
Work will be a routing for all the others. It will harm none and
will be the support of several. " NDAG 343 _ The Way of the Cross, the way of conversion " ...my
benefactions, because they are for the utility of a multitude of souls that
I pursue with ardor and that I will reach by the devotion to the
Suffering Heart of my Immaculate Mother and to my painful passion.
These two things are inseparable. " NDAG 321 " One
must not be so prompt to throw out the souls in hell ; I am saving
much more of them than the men think, because I have treasures of
forgiveness unknown to the human intelligence, which is in my eyes,
only as that of a child who is just been born. " NDAG 246

RECALL OF THE EVENTS
It would be from 1859 the 1st time as we know, since
the Gospels, that Christ speaks for so long to an elected soul, about Mary whom
He invites to come down from Heaven to show the desires and the charity of
their united Hearts ready to fill us all, in this land of the Commingeois. The
written relation of the events, the Auch’s Archbishopric’s property, was
studied again a few decades ago by its curator Mr. The Canon Jean Bétous (+) in
cooperation with Mr. the Abbot Alphonse Dumail (+), vice-chancellor of
Labarthe-Inard ( 31 ) member of the “Société d’Histoire Religieuse de la
France” and of the “Société des Etudes du Comminges” ; they watched over
the small flame [the bishopric of Comminges depended on Auch
until 1790, then it joined Toulouse. Auch depends on Toulouse since 8/12/2002].
At the end of 2002, this 19th century oldmanuscript,
reporting the apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary and of the Good Shepherd
to 4 children of Arnaud-Guilhem (northeast of
St-Gaudens, French department 31) at the spot said “Picheloup” district, was
recovered, at request of Mr. Charles Bisaro, emeritus director of the
pilgrimages of the Toulouse archdiocese, by the archivists of the Auch diocese (Gers
department 32). Without suspecting that he was going to be sought for this
search, this service had made a few pilgrimages on this site that he knew
thanks to the invaluable narration of the Reverend Father Dumail, ’’Les
églises du diocèse de Comminges, chapelles et monuments dédiés à Notre-Dame’’ 1er
trim. 1999,
Société des Etudes du Comminges. This narration is available
on the web: www.arnaud-guilhem.org/adumail.htm where it is followed by
extracts of same narrative on the nearby sanctuaries of Arnaud-Guilhem, which
particular links still move closer : our Lady of Artiguehente, of Brouls, of
Lestelle (the Star) and of Comminges.
In this manuscript, Christ insists particularly on the
Work and the Title of ’’Our Lady of Arnaud-Guilhem’’,
and men
on those also of ’’Our Lady of the Pains’’, ’’Mother of Pains’’ which honour the Very Blessed Virgin [see 'Urgent entreaties', on top].
Very ancient, the “Picheloup” term is never part of this Title, and is
independently mentioned, only to indicate a place She sanctifies and
where used to come the wolf [animal, but also symbol of the absolute
evil : " the infernal wolf " cf selection below].
In commemoration of the date of June 23, 1859, the
eve of St John Baptist’s feast and beginning of the apparitions according to
young country-women's, Félicie Cavé, Jeanne Sarlabous, Marianne and Francoise
Bernadet (all
became nun, soon followed by 14 young girls of the same village including seven
in same community),
a third Mass was concelebrated by the Episcopal Vicar of Toulouse Archbishopric
with 3 priests, on site on June 25, 2005, in the presence of 130 people. The
Holy Sacrifice is offered there every year on final Saturday of June in the
morning {at
10 o’clock, on June 2007 the 23th}.
A mass by Reverend Father Daniel
Brouard-Derval was celebrated in the morning of Saturday
June 28, 2008 (see also other 2008-09 meeting) at the church of Arnaud-Guilhem.
The church would belong to the sanctuary : Christ and Our Lady would have appeared
to Sister of the Good Pasteur at the Altar of this church on Oct 7, 1877 (NDAG
398), about a statue of "Our Lady of Arnaud-Guilhem" to represent
exactly on the site of Arnaud-Guilhem in Picheloup locality, and whose one very
beautiful model, in conformity with the requirements of the manuscript of the
events, already invites us to the auxiliary Altar in the church Chorus. This
statue is signed A.
Bouthery, St-Jacques street in Paris, N°248, we also prayed
"Our Lady of the Seven Pains" for him which, by a divine key in its
art, has worked at our edification, and for the giver.
Another
mass by Reverend Father Daniel Brouard-Derval, for the feast of Our Lady of the
Seven Pains, was planned but diplaced in the morning on Saturday
September 20, 2008 (see 2008-09
meeting & program on website), starting after 10:30 AM,

A small flowered oratory was always maintained on the
spot by pious hearts since the visions ended in 1878. Many graces are attached
to the realization of the requests of both Jesus and Mary, also appeared in
Eucharist, so that Our Lady of the Seven Pains be honoured {erection of a statue, of a
sanctuary} so that She
attracts the Divine Mercy on the Church, the world with a particular
mention towards the Work’s benefactors. Some religious writings from that epoch
attest of the Pontiff Pius IX encouragements to build the required sanctuary,
other correspondences would point out some approving words. See at the bottom
of this page.
On March 2005 the 19th, Palm Sunday and
St-Joseph feast, at the end of Jean Paul II pontificate, on pilgrims
initiative, a priest & a laic of the Auch diocese, and with the
participation of the associations representatives, this stone capped with
an altar plate was engraved sealed and offered as a sanctuary foundation,
in the requested place. The pilgrims brought materials. During the
benediction ceremony, the priest laid down salt blessed by the Benedictines
of Santa Anna de Kergonan, Abbey in the Vannes diocese, French Brittany ;
he said: “Jesus, You are the Living Stone”. Let’s change our hearts! Ourselves, united to
Christ of the Mercy, become Living Stones. << It is necessary that my mercy springs like a giant to provide his race,
because its day has shone. It shall rise on the highest mountains and
descend in the depth of the valleys, subjecting everything to its empire
full of sweetness. It shall print its trace on the stone which will soften
in front of it like the wax in front of the sun and I shall make so that
the most critical censors of my Work become the most zealous defenders of
it. >> NDAG 205 << ...I said that they would be one with me, like my
Father and me we are one. >> NDAG 174 (Associations are in bond with the authority of
the Toulouse archdiocese which includes the Auch archdiocese) Previous Sunday All Saints' day 2006, a mass of
private intention was offered on this altar plate.
The present content is formed of selected
extracts from the manuscript where pages carries NDAG initials,
abbreviations for Notre Dame of Arnaud-Guilhem.
According to Félicie Cavé
testimony, transcribed by Father Avignon her confidant, the resurrected &
living Christ, under the semblance of the Good Shepherd, and his Mother, the
Virgin Mary, appeared to four small girls (" I am Mary of
Heaven ") ; Félicie, one of them became Sister Mary of the Good
Shepherd, in
Dorat nunnery near Limoges, received in addition the
vision of the Lord and Mary in the Eucharist, at her convent.
With a last encyclical, John Paul
II clarified in the Work of the Redemption, the bond linking Mary, by her
Suffering and Immaculate Heart, to the Eucharist indissociable of the
Divine Heart of Jesus:
__At School with Mary "Eucharistic Woman" (external

June 19, 1874. As soon as the Blessed Sacrament was exposed, I saw Our Lord in
the Holy Host. He seemed very tall and of an incomparable beauty his coat was
whiter than snow and very furrowed with rays which came out his Sacred Heart
and were falling down his feet where they were forming a sea of light which
seemed to want to spread itself...
" I
wish to identify myself with the souls : it is to give them my life and to
give it with abundance that I made of myself their food. "
Seeing Our Lord so tall in a so
small space I was seized with astonishment and I was asking him how he could
make such a great miracle ? He said to me :
" My
daughter, when the wonder of the transubstantiation is operated, it is not any
more a miracle for me to be in my sacrament with all the integrity and the
right proportion of the members of my sacred body. A greater wonder is that
being there really present and alive, I give to be seen to the men only the
misleading appearances of a bread which is not any more, and the inaction of a
body where lives the all divinity which drives and governs all things. Here is,
my daughter, the true wonder : it is to hide myself to the eyes of the
men. "

March 28, 1874. Immediately after Mass Elevation our Lord appeared on the Altar
who was looking very tall... He was seated... I was in an extreme sorrow and
the seeing of my great unworthiness made me fear to get closer to the Holy
table. Our Lord gave me the blessing and filled me with a great peace which
seemed to me like coming from Heaven. He said to me with kindness :
"
My daughter, be happy in your sufferings, since it is me who allow them and
that in all I want my glory ''
Then I was finding myself in a great
astonishment in seeing that he was showing himself so early to me, and he
answered me showing Our Reverend Mother :
"
I do not know to resist such an amount of love. Consider, my Daughter, what is
the sovereign capacity of a soul who belongs to me without reserve. Because it
is the filial abandonment of my spouse and her firm hope which pierced in this
day the mysterious veil of my Eucharist and came to wound my tenderness, to
oblige me to make disappear the appearances where I hide and to show you the
reality... ''
Then Our Lord said to me :
"
Come my Daughter, to nourish yourself with trust of my own substance ; I
am in a hurry to enter your heart ''
In this moment I did not see
anything, it was the moment of communion, and I remained all flooded with
happiness. "

Our Lord shows himself in the Eucharist to shorten the examinations of his
Work. >>
NDAG 323/324 (see below)
<<
It is the doctrine of St Thomas developed and supported by some
theologians, among others by the Cardinal Cienfuegos... by his only natural
faculties, man cannot see the body of Christ in the Holy Altar... the devil
cannot appear to a soul in the Holy Host... the conclusion would be that it
is really God who during 7 or 8 years showed himself to this nun in the Holy
Sacrament exposed on the Altar... God's monkey has a supernatural major power.
But there are two things the devil cannot make : at first a true
miracle, and then a really humble soul... St-Angèle de Foligny was
favored with diverse apparitions... " My daughter... I am going to give
you an internal sign which will not deceive you, because it is above the reach
of the devil, it is the violent and ardent desire to endure for me the works
and the contempts, to the extent of seeing you disdained with as much joy as
the others find themselves in being filled with respect and honor. "
Here is what was saying Our Lord to the Sister
of the Good Shepherd in an apparition on April 17th, 1874 (NDAG 191)
: - " I
promise you that the favors with which I fill you will constantly be to you the
subject of a big internal humiliation, and in this mark you will recognize that
they come from my Divine Heart and not of satan..." >>
NDAG B005-7 PROLOGUE
<< In 1859, the eve of St John
Baptist feast, June 23... Françoise saw the first on the stock of an oak, that
one had just cut, a small girl who seemed to be four to five years old. She had
close to her four little children, two on each side who were as small as her...
There was none of so pretty and so
well dressed. Her sight was intimidating us and we didn’t dare say anything to
her. Finally after having examined her well, Françoise said to her in Patois,
because we didn’t speak French at all :
__ Little one, how are you called ?
She answered :
__"I am called Mary of
Heaven. " Françoise said to her :
__ From where are you ? Are you
from St. Martory ? She answered her :
__"I am from Heaven.
" Françoise said to her :
__ Is it quite beautiful
Heaven ? She answered :
__"Oh ! yes it is quite
beautiful. " Françoise said to her :
__ Will we go to Heaven
ourselves ? She answered :
__"If you are well-behaved
and if you do not make sins"
Françoise
said to her : "Why are you crying ?"... She answered :
"There are the sinners who make
me cry because they everyday attach my son to the cross."
Then Françoise said to her : "do not cry any more, go, tomorrow I
will bring cherries to you."
A small smile appeared on her lips.
Françoise again said her : "What is the name a small one who is there?
" She indicated the right side of the Blessed Virgin. She answered her:
"His name is Peter". - "And that one?"
Françoise was asking with showing the left. She answered :
"His name is John". These were looking at the Blessed
Virgin and the three others has their eyes looking low and all seemed quite
sad... >>

As soon as the Holy Sacrament was exposed I saw O.L. in the Holy Host. He was
very tall and seemed to be of a sweetness, of a kindness and of an incomparable
majesty. His clothing was whiter than snow, filled with lilies and roses and
furrowed with rays which were leaving his Sacred Heart, which resembled diamond
chains which were falling down his feet and were forming a transparent sea like
glass. O.L. was in a cloud of stars and he had the wounds of his feet and hands
brilliant of light. I was seeing on his head a large crown of spines which was
dazzling like a sun. O.L. had a coat which was laid on his left shoulder, and
on the other side it was supported by the cloud. I was seeing on his chest his
divine Heart who was like a burning furnace in which I was seeing there neither
beginning nor end. O.L. was showing his divine Heart with the left hand and
with the right one he was still showing the Blessed Virgin’s Heart that Mgr of
Toulouse was holding in his hands. I was seeing floods of light leaving the
Heart of O.L. which were falling on the people who were in the chapel but with
more or less of abundance according to the inclinations of each one. I was
seeing several who where completely covered with it and a very small number who
were receiving only a few rays which seemed to weaken while falling into their
souls.
O.L. gave his blessing three times with
pronouncing the names of the three divine persons, then he said, with an
infinite kindness and while seeming to address a few souls whom he was looking
to with kindness :
"I
come to seek among you the consolations which I could not find among the
children of this century. Comfort me from abandonment and contempt that the men
have for me. You are the flowers of my tenderness, it is by my grace that I
have preferably elected you, and I find my delights in living among you. Do not
fear ; I blessed my own gifts that I spread without measure in your
hearts, because I want them to produce durable fruits which will be your joy in
the eternal life... I relentlessly watch over your souls... be flexible to my
divine action and you will become such as your God wants you to
be." >>
NDAG 269-271
<<
One day we saw aside the Blessed Virgin, a man who was very tall. He had a blue
clothing which was torn out on several spots ; his feet and his hands were
bloodstained by the spines, he was holding with the hand a stick like the
shepherds and also had like them on the head a wide hat only over it one was
seeing a large crown of spines. Françoise thought it was a poor beggar and
offered him the bread of her lunch. Then this man started smiling and said to
her with a great kindness :
" My
child, I don’t nourish myself with bread ; but my food is to do
the will of my Father : I am the Good Shepherd, the Good Shepherd
gives his life for his ewes ; I seek those ones who are loose themselves among
the brambles and the spines and I want to bring them back. It is for that that
I have sent my Mother towards you others. "
He still spoke to us but I don’t
remember what he told us. I think we have seen him again other times. We
understood so little of what He was saying to us, that often we didn’t pay
attention and that we did not even speak of it between us. I do not know if we
have ever said to anybody the answer that He made us when Françoise offered him
her bread as to a beggar. We always thought that He was a shepherd, especially
when hearing him speak of his ewes and when seeing him with his feet and his
hands scratched and remaining in the woods. Sometimes we saw him with a dress
which was a little more of the red. >>

February 14, 1875. I was seeing to the right-hand side of Our Lord, Monseigneur
de Toulouse, and a little further the Blessed Virgin on a tall and large
column. She was in the form of an Immaculate. Her eyes and her cheeks were all
filled in with tears. She was holding with the right hand the crown of spines

said to me: "Félicie, come help me
pass the brook." I advanced a little, but soon I was moving back. She
called me a second time. I was attracted towards she, but fear took me back and
I didn’t dare. Finally the third time she said to me: " Félicie, come help me pass the brook I am
afraid that I miss out the time." I then advanced until near her, I
gave my hand to her and as she was going to take it, I withdrew it well
quickly; I was feeling the fear coming back to me. At this moment she raised
the right hand as to bless me and said to me: " Child, it will be me who one day will give you the hand so that the

<< 1859 ... the Blessed
Virgin, a few days before she accompanies us up to the Arnaud-Guilhem’s church,
told us she wanted to be led there in procession.
We went to
tell it to Mister the priest who answered us that only Monseigneur the
Archbishop who could authorize this procession. Then Francoise answered him :
" Monseigneur will not prevent it since he is dead; it was the
Blessed Virgin who had said it to us and nobody knew it yet." I believe
that it was the very same day of his death and Mister the priest had soon
learned the news from the Archdiocese.
Thus not
being able to obtain from Mr. the priest a procession as we thought that the
Blessed Virgin wanted it, She shows us from the place of the apparition until
the church a procession of groups of angels; we were seeing only angels, all
was filled of them, the road too. There were twelve of them who carried like an
arch. Within, there was a sun and on all the degrees stems of lily and
beautiful roses. We have understood that the angels were going to carry the
Blessed Virgin and I don’t even know if it is not She who said it to us.
Then
Francoise told her that it was her who wanted to carry her. The Blessed Virgin
smiled with kindness; then Francoise started to cross the arms. Then the angels
came to deposit on our arms this arch which had a little the shape of a house.
I remember very well that all the frontage had figures of angels : the
Blessed Virgin was seated inside, She was surrounded with sun and She had a
beautiful moon under Her feet.
All along the way the
angels sang canticles in the honor of the Blessed Virgin. I particularly
remember that they were singing litanies which I didn’t know then but that I
have recognized since when I learned them. We also were hearing a beautiful
music made by the angels but so beautiful than never have we heard of one
similar nor which could get close to it. When we arrived at the church the
angels stopped at the door: they didn’t want to enter because the stoup was
empty. One hastened to put holy water in it and then they entered, all took
blessed water, and bowed low before the Blessed Sacrament whom they adored
deeply. There were a lot of them who wrapped themselves inside their wings and
who seemed in fire while adoring Our-Lord. >>

My son, remember that in these days of forgiveness that I offer to the world by
your ministry, and whose compliance of you to my benefactions is the direct
channel, I give again to the afflicted Heart of my kind Mother all the children
of Adam that She has adopted on the Martyrdom in the anguishes of the agony.
The gift that I renew to her still increases Her maternal tenderness, and She
will let perish none of all those that my ardent love entrusts to Her. Don’t
neglect to give Her at the soonest the easiness to extend Her protection on all
the hearts which will call upon Her, which will be devoted to Her and on the

these children wanted to cross a brook by swimming to arrive earlier at the
Blessed Virgin who was appearing on the opposite bank. She had water up to the
head, but as she has arrived at the
feet of the Blessed Virgin, her three companions noticed that her clothing was
dry and that her small shoes had not even been wet...

Bernadette at Lourdes because it was quite true that She had shown herself to
her. At this time I was in my bed with a pneumonia and the doctor had
especially recommended not to let me catch a cold.] It was in the month of
January [... at the height of winter : snow was falling... ] under large
flakes... The railroad did not exist then... They went up on an open carriage and
we thus left to go on a 108 km journey. The cold was intense and snow did not
cease only one moment from falling... [We were in an open car without umbrella
without anything. Snow was not falling on us because since the Blessed Virgin
was showing herself to us, no matter how we were outside with snow and rain,
never have we been wet neither by the rain nor by the snow. I was] completely
[cured on the way of my pneumonia. Françoise had a ecstasy during the trip...

already friends like if we had always been together. ] "

" (June
12, 1874) The Holy Sacrament being exposed, I saw the Holy Host which took the
shape of a luminous Cross, and, after a few short moments, I saw Our lord who
was very tall... He gave three times his blessing... He was in a thick cloud of
stars which surrounded him... I was still seeing the Cross which was dazzling
with light. The clothing of Our Lord was of a blinding white which was
streaming rays of fire which were leaving his Sacred Heart which looked to me
more inflame than ever... He seemed to be of a very special tenderness. I also
was seeing that He was receiving with kindness all that was made for the
advancement of his Work and that He was rewarding any soul who came in
assistance to him to accomplish it by giving him/her an easier access in his
divine Heart which seemed to commit to refuse nothing to them. The wounds of
his hands and of his feet were dazzling. Our Lord also had a large crown of
spines on the head which was spreading a smooth light. He had a golden coat
which was laid on his left shoulder and was coming back a little on the other
side on the right arm... Our Lord said to me with an incomparable
kindness :
__ ... I am God ; I am the Verb of God
and I finally am the Spirit of God who blows where I want. I was being
encapsulated in myself even while an eternity; I sufficed to my happiness since
I am the beauty, the sovereign kindness and that my essence is to be infinitely
perfect. Nevertheless I wanted to spread myself and from there has come out the
creation of all things which while coming from me were very good. But the sin
by revolting man against my divine Sanctity spread out corruption on my
works and their primary perfections have been well diminished but not entirely
destroyed. It is thus necessary that I relentlessly repair the damages of sin
and that I continue on man the Work of redemption that I started at the
Martyrdom and which has to only end with the world. Sin steals me souls at any
moment ; but like a mighty and magnanimous king who sees his enemy seizing
his most beautiful cities, I also see Satan stealing me the price of my blood.
I however do not give up the souls of which it takes possession. There not
being able to inhabit them by the usual and sanctifying grace, I stick around
these souls where reigns my opponent ; I examine by which way I would be
able to make them hear promise of forgiveness ; I abundantly grant them my
current graces, and if they are persisting, it is only by the persevering
obstinacy of their unwillingness. I want to give these days to this people who
offended me so much and who is beseeching my forgiveness, a mean of return to my
Heart which will carry the trust to him to be favorably welcomed of it; and it
is the renewal of the devotion to the suffering Heart of my Immaculate Mother.
Our
Lord stopped for a short moment, then turning a little to Mgr of Toulouse who was
on his right and who was still holding the Heart of the Blessed Virgin in his
hands, he said to him :
__Yes, my son, I want to have the souvenir
of the pains of my August Mother reprinted in the heart of my children, the
Passion that I have endured for them. This memory is erased almost everywhere
and one thinks of my torments only in a vague manner which would not carry the
repentance in the souls... Give to your Savior the asylum that he is asking you
for the rest of his infinite mercy, and then my sanctuary will be called the
house of forgiveness and peace. I will then show you wonders on wonders because
you will have glorified my Immaculate Mother.
Know that I had for infinitely pleasant the
burning desires of my servant to build me a temple in the old law, and the
determined will that he was having to give me this residence was in front of me
the real construction of this temple, but for you, I do not have enough of your
goodwill, it is necessary that you also give me the act which I do not request
from another...
Break at the soonest the bonds that Satan
placed to obstruct my Work, because, he would like, with all the fury of his
hatred to annihilate this Work which he knows to be infinitely dear to my
divine Heart. I shall defend you against the maliciousness of Satan and against
the perversity of the men and no one will be able to cause you any harm,
because I want to be your defence. "

I was seeing on his chest his Divine Heart which resembled a burning furnace.
He was in a continual movement and the flames which consumed it seemed
increasingly burning. He was as transparent as glass and He seemed to me of an
infinite extent. O.L. had a large gold belt where I was seeing written these
words :
"
Come all to this inexhaustible source of love and of mercy and I will burn your

Friday May 9th,
1873... I then saw Our Lord in the Holy Host. He was of natural height and in
the middle of a dazzling clarity. He was having a clothing whiter than snow and
all filled with golden flowers. The hair were falling down a little bit on the
shoulders. He had down his feet a splendid rose tree from which seemed to come
out a hedge of stars which were surrounding Our Lord. From that same rose tree
was also coming out a large cross at which top there was a crown of spines. Our
Lord was seated ; his feet posed on two beautiful roses and a multitude of
others surrounded him. He was holding with the left hand a chalice. He made me
understand that this chalice was the emblem of his inexhaustible Charity which
has produced and which still produces the chosen ones who were represented to
me by these innumerable stars ; that it is also that same Charity which
makes him unceasingly employ new means to save the men, and that it’s She in
particular who makes him be shown now, in order to come at the rescue of his
people who is in the affliction and to give him one more mean of
Salvation : what made me understand the two roses on which he was laying
the feet and the great number of roses of which he was surrounded. I also
understood that the sufferings He was promising to me, were also being produced
by his infinite Charity, because the cross was coming out of the rose tree. I
was seeing on the chest of this good Savior his Sacred Heart brighter than the
sun and transparent like crystal. It was spreading floods of light all over the
people who were in the chapel... It seemed to not have neither beginning nor
end. My view was itself as in an ocean of light and I was seeing, very forward
in this Heart, our Reverend Mother who was covered with a large white coat on
which the image of Our Lord was printed who looked seated on a large stone
having the chains to the feet and the hands ; then around him I read these
words :
" I
was imprisoned and you visited me "
(Math. 25/35)
On his right I also was seeing near Our Lord,
the image of Our Lady Of the Seven Pains, and to his left that of Saint Joseph,
and around them a great number of stars which were filling only one part of the
coat, the remainder was being all white. >>
NDAG 057 /059
<< Then Our Lord,
showing me the flowers which were down his feet and which I understood being
the souls that He has oneself particularly chosen , told me with a kindness and
a majesty all Divine :
" I am the Lamb of
God ; I am the one who erases the sins of the World.
I please myself among the lilies and
the roses " >>
(Regarding
a privileged soul) Our Lord added :
<<...
and I bless this place, may she have one’s internally call upon Our Lady of
Arnaud-Guilhem by the souls of faith, and my glory shall burst out with
abundance to hasten the salvation of the World >>

the greatest kindness :
<<

built the sanctuary of the mercy of my Son, I shall live within my people until
the consumption of the centuries. I again bless these places that I have once
sanctified and I am ready to make there burst out the love and the mercy of who
sent me as soon as the Prelate will want it >>

"My daughter, after you will have accomplished all my desires and that
I will have filled my intentions on your soul, I will withdraw you from within
my people to place you in my kingdom. If you wish it immediately, ask me for it
I will grant it to you."
When O.L. had said that to me, I
suddenly felt disappear the great desire that I had to die and I internally
subjected myself to do what he wanted. O.L. added :
"I
love of a burning and particular love the souls that are hungry and thirsty for
me in the sacrament of my tenderness ; I wish to perpetuate myself in the
hearts that receive me and I would like it for all the mysteries of my
Incarnation and my Redemption. Often approach my sacred table. It is true it is
necessary to be well prepared, but I am myself the best preparation and the
most salutary thanksgiving. Dress yourself with my merits which are infinite
and come without any fear. What I say to you in the secrecy must be used for
the good of several, because I want that one knows that the humble and trustful
love honors me much more than a servile fear... "
I prayed O.L. to well quickly
accomplish his Work. O.L. said to me :
"My daughter,
it is not a word, in all my words and my expressions which does not contain a
concealed meaning. Happy the spirit who understands it ;
happier is the heart who has the feeling of it ; but infinitely
happier is the soul who subject herself to my action and who accomplishes
my intentions. If I often repeat you the same things, it is not without reason,
because I have not come teach you the beauty in sentences and the purity of
language, but to discover you for the men the excess of my tenderness and the
mercy that I want to grant to them." >>

A little after that the Holy Sacrament was exposed on the altar, I saw Our Lord

incomparable kindness :
"
My daughter, often invoke my Divine name it is the memorial of Love that I have
sworn to the fallen man and in fight with the suffering, it is a source of
divine charity and of infinite treasures of my adorable Heart. It is the armor
that Satan fears the most, and the powerful shield which shelters the soul
against its suggestions and defends it of its perfidious malice.''
Our Lord was writing with his right
hand three letters that I did not understand, on the face of Mgr of
Toulouse ; they were like figures ; then O.L. said to him :
"
I will unceasingly urge you to accomplish the Work of my desires. My mercy will
pursue you until you finally agree to give to my people the treasure of
forgiveness and peace of which you have the possession as an entrusting.
Remember my word, it is infallible. It is necessary that my Work comes out off
the night and the indifference to appear in the clear day ; it is
necessary that it triumphs by the instruments that I have elected. Who will
want to stiffen against the pivot of my divine grace and who will disregard the
benefactions of my tenderness ? Who will dare to be obstinate to resist my
pursuits full of dilection ? He would experience how much bitter it is to
fight God and to oppose my Holy will : all what I make for my Work is only
a beginning of what I will do in the continuation. Render up my son to the
force and to the wisdom of my allmighty Spirit and have remembered to all those
who are working for my Work that no one is strong against God. I lead and I
regulate all with an infinite sapience ; nothing escapes from my
solicitude. Thus I shall have everything contribute to the execution of the intentions of my tenderness and I shall
make come back in the right way the souls who deviate from it.
It is necessary that all my
instruments know well that the word kills and that the Spirit vivifies. Take
only the spirit of my Work and you will find there sources of life and
salvation.
My son, the hour of my grace has
rang ; do not differ any more to fill my sights of mercy on the whole
world. Consider the wisdom of my ways and make known to all those who help you,
the spirit who speaks to you. I will not induce you to wrong, and while
following me you will not fall into the illusion.
I want, by the swords which pierced
the Heart of my Immaculate Mother to carry repentance in an innumerable crowd
of souls and to drive back in my eternal curse the spirit of evil, the angel of
the dark abyss. Answer the efforts of my tenderness to save the souls, and
accomplish without delay the Work of my Mercy since it is you whom I have
chosen. Do not fear to attract on you the lesser responsibility. There is only
a responsibility of compliance and charity which shall charm my tenderness and
shall attract on you all the extent of my infinite kindness. See whether you
can still fear.
May the loneliness of this place
that I have marked to have me built a Sanctuary do not give you any
apprehension : because the crowds will run to... by the sight of my
benefactions and my glorious mercies that I will spread there..." >>

<<...
I bless “La Salette”, “Lourdes”, all other places where the men call upon my
name and the protection of my Divine Mother. I please myself to make there
burst my power, and the supplications of my people in these sanctuaries suspend
the blows of my indignation. I want to give him all that he is asking me in the
prayers and the pious pilgrimages; but may he well know that I shall only give
him the abundance of these goods by the Suffering and Immaculate Heart of my
Divine Mother honored in the place that I have chosen.
I
shall not transport to another the benefactions of this Work, because its
mission is all special, and each of my Works must fill the end for which it has
emerged from my good and usual will >>
NDAG 380
<< March 2, 1877. Our Lord
said to me :
"
My daughter tell the prelate of Toulouse that I have enough power so that my
sanctuary of Arnaud-Guilhem does not harm “Lourdes” ; they will be on the
contrary the complement of one another. I shall spread with flood forgiveness
and indulgence in the presence of the pains of my Immaculate Mother honored in
the place that I have marked. Numberless benefactions will be given
there : because I am the infinite one and no measurement may be given to
me. I want to cover the world of the true devotion to the sufferings which tore
the soul of my Divine Mother, and no power will manage to stop the force of my
grace" >>
NDAG 384
<<June 20, 1875. Our Lord said
to me :
"My
daughter, I am the way, the truth and the life. Whoever follows me does not
walk into darkness. In God, there is unity of essence and Trinity of persons.
It
is my divinity who makes you hear these words. I am the wisdom of the
Father ; it is also the wisdom of the Son and the wisdom of the Holy
Spirit. Like God, one single and equal nature lives in the Father, the Son, and
the Holy Spirit ; and although their personality is distinct, their
essence is the same, and the perfections of one of them are being equally to
the two others" >>

<<...
all the treasures of infinite tenderness that I want to give the world on this
mountain which my Divine Mother has sanctified and where inhabits the plenitude
of my Holy Spirit. >>

Then O.L. looking at Mgr with kindness, said to him :
"__
Here is why my son, I made come out in these days of salvation, this chaste
dove of the sacred arch of my divine Heart (O.L. was showing him the Heart of
the Blessed Virgin)... It carries on your earth the olive-tree of peace ;
it does not know the rigor of justice ; it is all love and mercy. Then
give it that place of rest which it chose itself, and I will make blow the
burning wind of my love which shall dissipate the bitter water of the iniquity
of which Earth is all covered, and in their place I will inundate you of my
infinite mercy."

March 1874, the 25th,
<< (To the Archbishop who was in
prayer) Our Lord said to him with an incomparable softness :
"...
Think that at stake is the salvation of a multitude of souls ... Know
that if the France of the XVIIth century had been less hostile to my
tenderness, if she had received the Salvation that I was offering her and that
she had accepted my divine Heart, I would not have burdened her with the arm of
my justice, I would not have walked on her with in my fury, and Satan would not
obviously have established his throne there. Today, I offer not only to France
but to the whole World, the Suffering Heart of my Immaculate Mother to disarm
my wrath and to save my children" >>

<<...
I was seeing on the right of Our Lord, Mgr of Toulouse who was stand up, and a
little further The Blessed Virgin on a large column. O.L. said to Mgr :
"My
son I show you what you must have carried out without delay. Promptly make the
acquisition of this land which I have chosen for my residence. Start the
foundations of my sanctuary. Offer them to me as the homage of your
goodwill. Authorize the Congregation to raise me that column that I am
asking for. Because if I wish this Work and if I want its success, I do not
want it to be started without the examination and the enlightened consent of
those who watch over Israel. This is why I so highly urge you to put the Work
of my divine mercy in the process of execution and to give me your help. I
subject it to your authority which comes from me and which is an abundant
participation of my sovereign domination. I brighten you with my Spirit of
science and wisdom to show you the divine production of this Work. What still
do you fear and why do you differ to give me what my dilection for the souls is
claiming from your courage ? I will be holding near you in order to lead
you" >>
NDAG 332
<<...
He (O.L.) said again to Mgr of Toulouse :
"I
give you the intelligence of the mysteries of the kingdom of God, and discover
you the excess of my tenderness ; carry out with readiness the desires
that I am manifesting to you and build me without delay the church which I
want ; then I shall bent down towards my people, I shall convert him and I
shall give him without measure the forgiveness, the mercy and the peace which I
have resolved to grant him by the Work of Arnaud-Guilhem. Days of sweet peace
will start shining in the catholic Church as soon as you will have satisfied
the desires which are urging me, and this is how only one is responsible for
all and that from your goodwill depends the happiness of all my people... I
have declared myself the author and the defender of my Work : no living
being will be able to stop the execution of it... give me the souls who must be
saved by the suffering and Immaculate Heart of my Mother" >>

uncover the excess of my divine Charity. >>
NDAG 279
" In October 1877, I was going
to Arnaud-Guilhem to spend a few days near my parents to restore my health
there. One day my father took me apart and withdrew from a drawer a sealed
letter that it served me with saying me: "seventeen years ago, before the
departure from here, you entrusted this letter to me which contains important
secrecies. I am getting old. I am getting sick, I could die soon and I would
not like that this paper to fall between not very delicate hands; take it back.
" I had completely forgotten this letter. Here it is such as the Blessed
Virgin dictated it to me this same day of March 27, 1860 while we were reunited
all four of us "
" Here is
my child the secret which I have
to entrust you with. I want this
letter to be read by nobody

will be
persecuted, the Holy City

Emmanuel. The Pope
will have the heart bored with pain.
He will see the
abomination of desolation in the holy
city. The convents will be destroyed, the nuns
driven out, ridiculed,
the religion in great danger and him-
self will be taken
prisoner.
The evils which threaten
my people, if he does not convert,
are war, plague and famine;
the war will
extent from the Orient to the
Occident if my people remain incredulous;
the Archbishop of Toulouse who
will then be sitting will be able, if he
wants, to stop all these evils
by making build the Chapel that
I am asking to be raised to me at
Arnaud-Guilhem because the
sinners will convert and my son
will be disarmed.
If the Archbishop refuses what
I am asking him, he will be
much punished him and all his
people, but especially him who
will have had the authorities of my
son.

tells you these things*

execution of my Work for the given day he will also give to my beloved Pontiff,
a sweet consolation. He must be zealous to satisfy the Heart of the Master and
that of the disciple. >>
NDAG 208
<<
Our Lord stopped one moment. He was launching floods of light on the Archbishop
of Toulouse who was nearby him and who was holding in his hands the Heart of
the Blessed Virgin transfixed with seven swords. O.L. said to him :
"
Hasten, My son, to accomplish my holy will while it is still time ; do not
wait for this day when the man cannot do anything any more, but when God wants
all" >>
NDAG 385
<<... thus
transmits very exactly the desires of my Heart to my beloveds, I ask that more
and more they work in concert and with all their capacity to the success of my Work.
For that they will follow without fear and with fidelity, the movements of my
grace ; because I will assist them appreciably and I will lead them, as by
the hand, in order to level myself the difficulties which I will allow that
they meet. Tell them that it is with the Congregation that I entrusted this
deposit, while I wanted to print in it the seal of which I mark all my
Works : that of contradiction. And now that the test is about to end, it
is the Congregation who I am asking to, so that by it, it is again given to the
world, for the salvation of my people who, from various countries and various
nations, will go as a crowd to Arnaud-Guilhem attracted by the benefactions of
all kinds that I will spread there with more abundance still than a fast river
does spread water when having been stopped a long time in its race, it comes to
break its obstacle and springs with a new impetuosity by precipitating the
water of its floods. >>
NDAG 060-061
<< I thought in myself
that the test had indeed been too long and that many others Works which also
came from God had not suffered so much. He said to me :
'' My daughter, the
greater are my Works the greatest repercussion and duration they must have, the
more it is also necessary that the seal of my cross is herein deeply
engraved.'' >>
NDAG 062
<< Our Lord stopped a
short moment then he said with an attitude of compassion able to move the
hardest heart :
'' If it were my enemies
who persecuted my Work, I would not be surprised ; but that some hearts
who love me oppose to a good, that they afflict my tenderness and that all my
eagerness to show them my love and to give them the means of comforting my
Heart they only answer with indifference and
ingratitude : here is what supremely grieves this Heart entirely
consumed by the brightest flames of the infinite dilection of God for them.''
>>
NDAG 254
<< O.L. seemed very
happy and its joy seemed to spread into my heart. After having stopped for a
short moment, he looked at the Archbishop with a kindness and an incomparable
majesty and he said to him :
'' My son I will
strengthen your faith, so that you obey all my decrees. Know that you will find
more delights in the accomplishments of my oracles than in the possession of
the greatest wealths. It is necessary that you make my words the subject of
your meditations to fully understand the holiness of my ways.
... What do you fear ? What else should I do for my Work moreover
than what I did ?
If my enemy had requested an ill deed from his partisans, he incontinent
would have been satisfied. I urge you to raise a sanctuary that I will fill
with my presence, that will glorify my name and that will have my divine Mother
honored ; why did hesitation invade your heart ? Yes, the
construction of this chapel will be the approval of all the wonders which took
place at Arnaud-Guilhem, but only of those which I am the author and not of all
the absurdities that the perversity of the men has attached there to discredit
my Work and of all that satan made to ruin it. By this act my son, you will
approve I repeat what comes from me : these are Works of holiness made to
lead the souls to holiness, you will find nothing more there."
Our Lord stopped then he said :
" I have put limits
to the apprehensions, to the hesitations to the obstacles and resistances, and
if someone of the instruments wanted to be obstinate in resistance to my grace,
if he rebelled against my mercy and wanted to cross the limits, I would break
him in my fury and I would bring my indignation upon all those who belong to
him in the continuation of several generations. Because heaven and earth shall
pass, but my words shall not pass. I would instead bring up a docile servant
who would delight my Heart and would accomplish my Work.
I keep the Work of my infinite Mercy like the pupil of my eyes ; I
will not drop it. I safeguard it under the wings of my goodwill and I surround
it with my sovereign power. I am devoured with the desire to save the men. I
am, My daughter, similar to a tender mother who knowing that the salvation of
her single daughter depends on her acceptance of a beverage deploys all her
tenderness in preparing it and having her drink it. The single daughter of my
Heart she whom against all other creatures entirely charmed my infinite
dilection, when she came out of my divine hands it is the humanity where I
deposited and printed my image. I attached its salvation for the nineteen
century to the suffering Heart of my Immaculate Mother, and I will continue my
Work for the redemption of humanity without rest, until its completion, and
still then my Eyes and my Heart be caring about it.
It is not necessary, my daughter that your confidence is shaken by the
vicissitudes which are inevitable for the inhabitants of the exile. Learn to
hope against any semblance ; and as you see my beloved, in the same way it
is necessary that your peace does not depend on the men. Therefore, that never
disturbance nor dejection enter your heart.''
Then O.L. gave three times its blessing and disappeared while leaving me
in a great happiness. > >
NDAG 220-223
<< '' I desire this
chapel which I request to be entirely similar to the plan which was given. The
goodwill with which the Archbishop is responding to the instances of my love
consoles me of the ingratitude of a crowd of others who close their hearts to
my graces of choice. But if the simple and straight hearts captivate my divine
Heart, I reject with indignation those who are double and dissimulated, because
they only seek to mislead their brothers. I see openly their maliciousness and
their perversity ; I reprove their works which under a nice appearance is
only a heap of smoke and corruption. If they resist the pursuits of my mercy
which wants to return them to uprightness, I will deliver them to my justice so
that they pay to the last obolus all their iniquities, because they may well
mislead the men, but they wouldn’t mislead their God.''
O.L. who had an attitude of
majesty and of serenity which however didn’t preclude a certain kindness while
he was telling me these things, suddenly retook his kind and loving face and
added while smiling:
'' By the gift that I
made to the Archbishop of Toulouse of the Work of my mercy, I gave him immense
capacity; because with the Suffering and Immaculate Heart of my Mother, that I
recommend he promptly passes on to my people, he will have more power than if
he had at his disposal an innumerable army of combatants. It is the star which
is to carry in a multitude of souls the hope of the salvation that Satan took
away from them. It is also a cloud of fire which must illuminate a great number
of my children. This Suffering and Immaculate Heart will be for an innumerable
crowd of sinners the path for resurrection and life. When this is that my
divine Heart will receive this relief ? '' >>

May
6, 1874
<< I was in front of
the Holy Sacrament exposed on the altar. I was internally suffering from great
sorrow and what was especially affecting me was the thought that being bad I
could only be in the illusion and misled by the demon in all the graces I
believed to come from God. I pronounced several times the Saint Name of Jesus
in order to eject him, and after some short moment, I saw O.L. (Our Lord)
in the Holy Host who gave me the benediction and I made at the same time the
sign of the cross. Then all my trouble ceased, an incomprehensible quietness
and heaven’s joy filled my soul. O.L. said to me :
'' My daughter, I heard
the call from your heart ; I will not leave you in the distress. I am not
offended by your doubts and your hesitations. These are sufferings that I allow
and from which I will elicit my glory. You made me hear the name that I took to
show you my love and it is this reiterated call which precipitated by several
moments the favor of my visit. You also represented to me the sign of the cross
on which I have hope to repurchase yourself from the hands of my enemy, and at
this sight, far from fleeing, I leaned towards you and my divine Heart dilated
on your own heart. Thus be filled with the imperturbable peace of your Father
and of your God ; because I do not want that dejection seizes your
heart.''
O.L. looked very tall. Its
clothing was of a bright whiteness, all filled with lilies and roses of gold.
He had a gold coat which was laid on its left shoulder and running under his
right arm, it was also all filled with lilies and gold roses.
I was seeing on his chest his divine Heart
which looked like a burning furnace. The beats which I distinguished well, did
not have any interruption : which made it appear in a continual movement.
It was transparent like glass and spread floods of light like I had not seen
any before, all over the people who were in the chapel.
O.L. had a wide belt where I was seeing printed
this word :
Deus
caritas est.
I was seeing on his head a large crown of spines which
resembled an aureole of glory.
O.L. seemed standing and surrounded by a multitude of stars. Down his
feet I was seeing a multitude of roses and lilies of an incomparable beauty. On
the right of O.L. I was seeing the Blessed Virgin on a tall column which was
flooded with light coming from O.L. who said to her :
'' ô My sweet Mother,
Mother of my infinite mercy, assured refuge of all the sinners, it is by you
that I want to save my people.''
The Blessed Virgin then recited all the Magnificat which O.L. was
listening with an infinite complaisance ; then addressing Mgr of Toulouse
who was placed between O.L. and the Blessed Virgin, he said to him :
'' My son, it is you who
must exalt my Immaculate Mother. I entrusted you with all the tenderness of her
Suffering Heart, you are a vase of election intended to spread my infinite
mercy and you will say to the nations, by the accomplishment of my Work I
finally grant them, forgiveness and peace.''
O.L. stopped for a moment. I thought that what he had told me, that he
wanted us to start by May first had not arrived. Then O.L. said to me :
'' ô heart of little
faith, how weak is your trust ! When will you be able to understand the
operations of my grace ? It is necessary that all that come from me is
marked with this divine seal (and he was showing me his cross) and I
work out great Works only in the midst of contradictions, hesitations,
obstacles and even resistances. It is by the triumph that I win over all these
things that I deserve my sovereign power. Be assured that I want the prompt
success of my Work with all the force of my divine will and that no creature
will be able to prevent it. I already said it to you, my Sacred Heart receives
a full satisfaction and it must be enough for you to be happy to know that I am
content.'' >>

NDAG 253-254
April 24, 1874
<< I was suffering for
several days from great sorrows ; I was looking at myself as carrying all
kinds of crimes, because I understood that if the Good Lord did not keep me I
would make them all, which gave me a great desire to do penance for them in a
quite austere organization. Then, I also had a great desire to shed my
blood for the love of O.L.. While one exposed the Holy Sacrament, all these
sorrows became so strong that I could not bear the violence of it any more and
I looked at the Holy Host without being able to say anything. Inside this
moment I saw O.L. in the Holy Host who gave me the benediction and said to me
with kindness :
'' My daughter be always
faithful to call upon me in your tribulations and I shall always be prompt to
help you, never forget that I am your Father and that my infinite tenderness
relentlessly watch over your soul which is the instrument of the Work of my
mercy. Also know that all these desires of martyrdom and penance will not be
useless in your heart and that they will bear fruits for my glory. I give you
my peace, I leave you my peace ; Be firm and courageous to follow me in
the path of the cross. It is by it that one must pass through to arrive at the
life that I promised you.''
O.L. seemed very tall ;
he was seated on a throne of stars, and an innumerable troop surrounded him.
His clothing was of a dazzling whiteness, all gleaming of gold and furrowed
with rays of fire which were falling to his feet and formed an immense brazier
which was spreading in the Heart of the Blessed Virgin who was always in a path
of fire and touched the ground. O.L. had the right hand entirely open and he
was showing the Heart of his divine Mother. From his left hand he was showing
his Heart which seemed all ablaze and in a continual movement. It was
transparent like glass and spread floods of light all over the people who were
in the chapel. The clothing of O.L. was filled with tears and his body looked
all covered of wounds brighter than the sun. Those of his hands and his feet
were also of a great glare. O.L. had on the head a crown of spines which was
like an aureole of glory and around his Heart I was seeing a great number of
stars which drew great lights from inside the Sacred Heart and communicated
them to the souls who were present. O.L. said to me while showing them to
me :
'' Consider, My daughter,
the divine choice that I made of these hearts to be the flexible instruments of
my Work. I have placed them around my Heart to be the glory of it, by showing
the power of my grace. They will draw with joy from this sacred source and they
will give to their brothers all the overabundance of my benefactions.''
I saw in this moment Mgr of
Toulouse who again went kissing the right hand of O.L. who looked at him with a
great tenderness and showed him with the finger the Heart of the Blessed
Virgin. Mgr went to take this Heart and
it made shine out on him like a flood of light which entirely covered him. O.L.
said to him :
'' My son, your
promptitude to accept the burning desires which consume me and your entire
adhesion to my divine will have wounded my infinite tenderness. It is thus not
in vain that my grace has flowed into your soul ; it is not in vain that I
knocked on the door of your heart. You have heard my voice and you have
answered my advances full of love. Be blessed of your God over the centuries’
centuries. I promise you that even in this life, you will experience the
powerful effects of my divine gratitude. I will strengthen your soul so that it
pursues without fear the execution of the Work of my mercy, and by disposing
you to accomplish my intentions, also think, My son, of securing you against
satan who will breathe its venom in some souls to give birth to difficulties
and oppose my intentions. I owed to my infinite compassion for the men to not
allow that the Work which was to be the salvation for such a great multitude
went broken against a rebellious will,
because then my promises would have changed into threats, my benefactions into
rigors and my blessings into divine revenges, for my mercy would not have been
answered and for having only met in the hearts coldness, indifference, contempt
and incredulity. Open, My son, the sources of my infinite mercy and I shall
give to my people the forgiveness that he is asking me.
It is necessary that my mercy rushes like a giant to provide his race,
for its day to have shone. It shall rise on the highest mountains and descend
in the depth of the valleys, submitting everything to its empire full of
softness. It shall print its trace on the stone which will soften in front of
it like the wax in front of the sun and I will work out that the most critical
censors of my Work become the most zealous defenders of it. The efforts of my
enemy to destroy it will only serve out, as I promised, giving it more glare. I
shall be with you ; my right will support you and will lead you in all
your ways.'' >>

___________________________
<< My daughter, for
the construction of the sanctuary of my mercy, one does not need only stones and
other materials; I especially have the need for prayer, sufferings and good
works. However I chose my beloved for the victory of my love. It is my paternal
tenderness which relentlessly immolates it, and it is to my unbounded charity
for the souls that I sacrifice it. My spouse doesn’t want anything any more,
she is pleased, because she knows that I am. >>
NDAG 157
<< I thought that
our Rev. Mother wanted to ask something and I didn’t know what it was. O.L.
said to me : '' My spouse wants to
know if I still wish something. Tell her, My daughter, that I wish that she
gave me in the name of the Congregation the perpetual offering of some of
its members who in particular would be intended to take care of the chapel
of my August Mother and to raise in my serenity and in my love the children
of Arnaud-Guilhem and those of all the surrounding countryside. I also want her to send
with a great confidence M. Al. to the Archbishop of Toulouse because the
heart of this Prelate is all willing to give entering in its diocese to the
Suffering Heart of my Immaculate Mother. It is necessary that M. Al. tell
him in for my part that I would like it be him who made for the diocese the
acquisition of the land where must rise the sanctuary of my divine Mother.
If he agrees to give me this satisfaction that I
ask him, may he remained well persuaded
that I will re ward him with an unbounded liberality.''
I thought that another time he had told me that it had also chosen the
Bishop of Limoges. O.L. answered to me :
'' Who will be able to
penetrate the depth of my intentions ? I elected one and the other for the
honor of my Mother and both must make her known and cherish according to
whether I want it.''
I then prayed him to please
agree to grant to M. Al. the graces which were necessary to her. He said to
me :
'' My daughter, I owe to
my spouse a very sure particular assistance ; this is why I cover her with
a new abundance of my spirit of force and wisdom and I undertake to guide her
in all her paths... Thus don’t be grieve over the sufferings that I send to
her ; because I have my spouse as of a good that belongs to me. I make her
suffer for the prompt accomplishment of my Work.'' >>
NDAG 106-107
<< ''... satan
would like to prevent that Sr. of the Reparation is very given to me by
perpetual vows, and he prepares himself for terrible assaults to her. It is
good that the Rev. Mother knows it. You will also say to my beloveds that by
the Suffering Heart of my Immaculate Mother I will revive enthusiasm in the
Congregation especially in a great number of my spouses who until this moment
will have resisted my grace and forgotten perfection. I promise to you that the
most desperate causes put with confidence in the Suffering Heart of my
Immaculate Mother will always have a happy outcome.''
I
prayed him to start well quickly to exert his mercy ; and O.L. said to
me :
'' My daughter as soon one
will have begun the foundations of my Sanctuary, I shall throw in this place
there, the roots of my great Mercy and I will cover all earth of the
ramifications oh his branches... The Archbishop of Toulouse wants to please me.
He desires to please my divine Heart. It is necessary that M. Al. tell him for
my part to hasten the execution of the intentions of mercy that I have
deposited between your hands and to work without anymore delay to the
glorification of my August Mother. I also ask that he chooses for my Work very
dedicated ministers, true servants of my Mother, who put all their glory to
make it known and loved and whose single occupation is to immolate me all days
on this mountain that I have chosen and to wash in my precious Blood the
numerous sinners that my grace will have touched. The Prelate would well have
done me this offering without my asking to him; but I want him to know that it
will be infinitely pleasant to me and that I shall receive it in compensation
for the outrages that the impious people do to me... My daughter, it is
necessary for the instruments of the Work of my mercy to be in the suffering
and work, because this Work must be the redemption of a multitude of souls and
that it cannot accomplishes itself else ways.'' >>
NDAG 120-122
<< ... I hide you in the
depth of my Heart. It is against this divine rock where I shelter you that the
fury of Satan will always shatter : because my enemy hates you, not only like
one repurchased soul of my Blood, but especially as being the chosen instrument
of a Work whom it he knows to be very entirely to his confusion and to the
destruction of his empire in the souls.
Remember My daughter, that in the various tribulations by which it is
necessary that you pass, only one act of abandonment and compliance to my
divine supremely pleases me and returns me much more honor than all you could make elsewhere, whatever
great and heroic it appears to you, because true heroism always consists in
doing what I want. Receive my spirit of Wisdom which will give you the
intelligence of all these things and will make you understand the sublimity and
the great easiness of the perfection that I am asking of you and at which it is
necessary that you reach at. Rest a little in the retreat of my sacred Heart
and prepare for new battles.''
Then O.L. looked at his
divine Mother with tenderness and he said to her :
'' ô my
Immaculate Mother, the moment comes close where it is necessary that the domination
of your suffering Heart expands all over my people and that by the pains and
the love of this same Heart, you give me again a multitude of children that
atheism and error remove from me each day. I want that the first blessings of
your motherly tenderness on the column at Arnaud-Guilhem be for the misled souls, for my persecuted Church, for my
beloved oppressed Pontiff, for the three instruments of my Work and for all
those who by their thoughts, desires, words, sufferings, prayers or actions
work to have you glorified in this place.'' >>

<< Almost as soon as the Holy
Sacrament was displayed, I saw O.L. in the Holy host. His sight had me ended
the sorrows that I had, and I found myself so happy that it seemed to me that I
was in Heaven... O.L. gave his blessing
three times pronouncing the names of the three divine person and he seemed to
throw floods of light. He then said to me with a kindness that I don’t know to
render comprehensible:
'' My daughter the
eagerness of my divine tenderness had me, for thus speaking, to sigh
relentlessly after this day and this hour when I will be able to give you a new
pledge of my infinite dilection and move you further inside the sanctuary of my
adorable Heart, in order to fully uncover you the treasures of charity it
contains. They are old and new richnesses I wish I could spread unmeasured in
the heart of all the men. And however I only find obstacles to my love. I can
only pour a few drops from this ocean without shore and bottomless there where
I would like to sink them all ; and still, they disregard my benefactions
because they appear extraordinary to them and too much above their weak
intelligence confined in so narrow limits. I only let go only some rare sparks
of this consuming fire which should inflame all their hearts; and my tenderness
is not indeed understood. They don’t want to believe in the love of a God who
is their Father. I only give them parsimonious gemlike of this infinite
treasure of which I would like to enrich them all, and they consider nothing of
it. They prefer to run after vanity than to stick to the truth to follow it.
Here are My daughter, who are the men of these days that I mark of a special
protection and mercy. They are such men that I do not cease to pursue and for
whom I would be ready to endure all again an infinity of torment and death if
it were necessary.
Oh ! if I had done for the angel, creature nobler than man what I
have done for the latter, the ecstasy of recognition would have seized the angelical spirit, and nothing could
have distracted him from my love. And because I used of a more compassionate
mercy for the man, he seems to have become more ungrateful of it."
I
seek but in vain to retie this bond of first intimacy which I had established
between my divinity and innocent humanity. The Incomprehensibility that they
claim to find in my love and the hardness of their hearts contrist mine and
stops my benefactions.''
O.L. stopped, then he said to Mgr of Toulouse with an infinite kindness:
'' My son, I bless your
goodwill and give you the wisdom and the force of my Holy Spirit. You are not
unaware that I like the souls with passion, and you are not surprised with
seeing all what I do to snatch them off the hands of Satan. Give me without
delay the sanctuary that I am asking you, so that I have blaze all my Mercy.
Offer to the nations the peace that they will draw from this inexhaustible
source... Faith is being lost in the souls, and my love is banished from the
heart of men; they become all carnal. I want to awake them from this disastrous
drowsiness which would bring them death, and I choose you, My son, to be the
principal instrument of the Work of my mercy. Recognize this choice which is
worth an overabundance of benefactions to you and mark for the future
generations the wonders of my tenderness; because if I take such a care of the
fathers, I will also extend it on the children whom I will never give up.
Malediction be on those who challenging my domination and with deterred
intentions dare to be obstinate against me and tell me that if I want to be
built a sanctuary I must start by operating prodigies ; they themselves
will be a true wonder of hard-heartedness. They will receive no other response
from my Heart than the one I did by my interminable silence to Herod and his
court, when he tempted me and that he too asked me to see prodigies.''
O.L. stopped for a short
moment; then raising his eyes to the sky, he added:
'' Soon I will call in
front of my court these souls who do not want to understand the advances of my
love. Then I will have them account for the enlightenments that I give them and
that they scorn. They will then see up to which point they afflicted me by
their incredulity and their opposition ; but it won’t be time anymore, and
they shall have to carry the weight of my outraged justice because the night
will have succeeded the day and that they will not be able to do anything
anymore for me. Work, as I leave you the time to do so, ô you all whom I have
chosen to be the instruments of the Work of my mercy and of my desires ;
then I will bless you more and more ; because my manna are not eternal,
and after having patiently waited I suddenly burst my justice.
As for you ô My son you know the eagerness which consumes me to render
the men happy. Untie the arm of my divine mercy which will only act weakly
until you give me the act that I demand to bring the peace and the forgiveness
for my people to rest. If you need force come draw it from my Heart. I give you
an easy access to it ; come and I will refuse you nothing of all that you
will ask me, provided that you put my Work in way of execution.'' >>
NDAG 276-281
<< And I which was the
God of your fathers, am I not also your infinitely good and compassionate God
who tested all your weaknesses and your infirmities and who knows the remedy
able to save you ? I did not hesitate, to operate your salvation, to take
even the form of the sin ; I covered myself with all your iniquities as of
a coat, and I thus presented myself in front of the infinite justice and the
divine Sanctity of my Father, Me who, forgetting, so to speak, that I was his Son
equal to Him, saw in me only the sin to walk-on me in his indignation and to
have me carry the weight of this divine Sanctity outraged by the sinner. Give
me, ô My son, to be able to fructify in the souls with the treasures of merit
that I have acquired them ; give me to burst on my children all the extent
of my infinite Mercy ; because I burn with the desire to save them all,
and the thirst which devours me to render them happy will only be entirely
satisfied only when I have won to my love all those whom my Father gave me for
the price of my Doings and my Blood... The greatest wonder I can show you isn't
it the indefatigable persistence I use to solicit you to accomplish the
intentions of my love and the very divine forbearance with which I wait for you
to delight my adorable Heart ? However as soon as you will begin my Work,
I will show you the power of my arm. I only differ in order to have the homage
of your goodwill... >>
NDAG 260-261
<< Tell them, My
daughter, that only, my beloved Pontiff Pius IX can fully and promptly satisfy
the desires of my Heart by ordering the erection of an expiatory chapel at
Arnaud-Guilhem. I also want that they make known my desires, my requests and my
intentions to the Bishop of Limoges, because I have elected this Prelate for
the glory of my Mother. You will furthermore tell my beloveds not to afflict
themselves nor to lose heart, when at first approach, they will not meet all
the credit they are hoping to find, even in people who are dear to me ;
because, for these kinds of things, a wise prudence is necessary, and I am well
far from condemning it, since I expressly recommended it in my Gospel by saying
not to add faith to all those who would say : Christ is here, or he is
there. This is why, instead of being offended by the rigorous examination
that one will make of all that I say to you, I would magnificently reward those
who will take over this labor provided that they do it with my glory in sight with uprightness and
simplicity, because when my favors are subjected to straight souls, I never fail to enlighten them in
order to show them reality >>

<<
I was being in front of the Holy Sacrament. It seemed to me that I was covered
with all kinds of crimes and that I attracted the anger of the Good Lord over
the community. I had great desire to go do penance, and I was in front of God
in a quite great confusion... I made the renovation of the vows and immediately
I saw O.L. in the Holy Host.
By seeing him my soul was flooded with Heaven’s happiness... O.L. was
very tall; he had a clothing whiter than snow and all furrowed with rays of
fire which were going out his divine Heart and formed at his feet a sea
transparent like crystal. He had a golden coat which was laid on his left
shoulder and came back a little on the other side on his right arm. O.L. made
me understand that this coat was the emblem of his power which retained the
greatest punishments of his justice and which made them remain as in suspension
until one had achieved the Work which must divert them completely. I understood
as well that the small end of coat which was covering a little the right arm of
O.L. was also the symbol of the divine power which was arresting the course of
the mercy that O.L. wants to spread. That is explained by the delays one put to
execution what he is asking.
O.L. was in a cloud of stars. I was seeing on his chest his divine Heart
which was like a burning furnace and was spreading floods of lights on the
persons who were in the chapel, and I was also seeing some falling on several
places which were empty. O.L. made me understand that the souls who were
occupying these remained empty places had left their hearts down the foot of
the altar and that the frequent memory they had of Him in the midst of their
occupations deserved them this abundance of graces. I was seeing the wounds of
the hands and the feet of O.L. which were streaming of light and diamonds were
like falling from there. I also understood that that represented the graces of
conversion that O.L. was granting to several sinners, because of the prayers
the Community was making for them, which seemed to much please O.L..
I was seeing on the right of O.L. Mgr of Toulouse who was still holding
the Heart of the Blessed Virgin. O.L. said to him with kindness:
'' My son, the exaltation
of my Church, the conversion of a crowd of souls, the forgiveness and the peace
I promised to my people are in-between your hands, you know that. Refrain well
from rejecting my Work, without which I would make my justice prevail with all
the rigor that the rebellion of the men against me requires. Don’t delay any
more; surrender to the pressing solicitations of my tenderness, because, I do
not want to irritate myself against you, the chosen one of my infinite mercy.
Be assured that my beloved Pontiff Pius IX has received the plenitude of my
divine Spirit to discover my action in this Work and that he ceded to no human
persecution. Thus act with assertiveness and please the burning desires of my
Heart devoured with love for the hearts.''
O.L. made a long pause, and
I saw that Mgr was very covered with light... O.L. still said to Mgr of
Toulouse:
'' My son, work promptly
to the execution of my intentions of mercy while you have the light, for fear
that darkness surprises you ; do not wait for me to stop you in your
race ; because you know that, it is not those who go down in the tomb who
can work to my glory and make works of justice. You hear my language and you
understand my word. My interior grace solicits you with more entreaties and
more power than my external grace. Welcome their pursuits and execute what they
are asking you. Become one of the most zealous and devoted servants of the
Suffering Heart of my Immaculate Mother. Recall to my people the kindnesses and
the tenderness of her love, and you will see the fruits of salvation that this
devotion will produce. Do not fear to multiply too much the pious Works. See
whether the enemies of my Name fear to increase the number of their dens of
iniquity. They know that the number and the extension make the force. In the
same way all the pious works support each other. Very far from harming
themselves they are only strengthening by the multitude. May the zeal of my
Heart to save the souls fill completely yours and flood you with a holy
courage: it is the gift that my love makes to you... My son, hear my voice; yes
I want to continue my Work without rest, but to lead it to its end, I would
like to employ only the entreaties of my mercy.'' >>
NDAG 239-243
July

<< ''... because
know it, since you are the caretaker of my people and the distributor of my
word, the fidelity to a grace attracts others of them, while on the contrary,
resistance to an initial benefit drives away me away from the souls who make me
that insult. They fall into a greater obstinacy and a harder hardening. Then I
carry my favors to other souls who know how to make a better use of it and who
answer my tenderness. It is written that one will remove the talents entrusted
to whom doesn’t have anything to give them to whom is already in abundance... I
promise you, My son, that I will give back a perfect a health to the people
whom you wish the recovery, as soon as you will commence my Work. Promptly give
this joy to my Heart which compels you with so much ardor and you will be the
subject of a great rejoicing for all my chosen, to whom I gave in my divine
Essence the anticipated sight of the innumerable crowd of sinners that this
Work must return to my love.''
O.L. stopped a short moment. Then he resumed:
'' When examining the Work
of Arnaud-Guilhem, may my instruments do not seek to penetrate too front. It
would be of them as of a man who wants to stare at the sun and who is dazzled
by its radiance ; because, my Work contains, as all that I do, things
which are incomprehensible to the human spirit ; and that, for to leave
the merit of that plain faith which was the sharing of your fathers. These
apparent mysteries will open out thereafter and one will see gradually
accomplish all that is contained in this Work of redemption. Wait for the hour
comes, and hasten, My son, to start; it is for the matter of my glory and the
salvation of the souls. It suffices to ignite your courage. I see Satan being
unceasingly built temples for losing the souls. I see the sons of Satan, struck
with the anathema of excommunication, destroy my sanctuaries and turn them into
cavern of thieves. Will there be nobody to stand to chase them away in
accomplishing the Work of the peace, mercy and forgiveness that my Heart cannot
retain any more and that I need to spread on this earth that I like and which
is however all afflicted and covered with the shades of the demise ? I
strike, so to speak with regret. I would like to be able to burst out the
excess of my love and watch the rods of my justice fall from my hands. I rest
on your goodwill, since you are the instrument of my mercy. Hasten to disarm
me, I am waiting for your assistance, it is necessary to me because I want to
make my use of you for to exalt the Suffering Heart of my Immaculate Mother and
have honored at
the same time and the Son and the Mother.''
O.L. also said:
'' My daughter, I gather
all the desires of my instruments and all their goodwill to consider them and
to not strike without mercy this rebel people ; because if I treated the men
according to their merit, not even one would be irreproachable in front of
me ; but I look them through these wounds that my love did to me and I
only see all of them submerge of this Blood which unceasingly yell for mercy. Besides the infinite debt of man, there is
an infinite ransom in front of which my inexorable justice is disarmed: they
are my sufferings and my death. I want to remake a new application of these
treasures by the devotion to the Suffering Heart of my Immaculate Mother and to
my bloody Passion. Do not be stopped by the obstacles you will meet, ô all of
you that I have elected to give me this Work.''
O.L. still addressing Mgr of
Toulouse said to him :
'' My son, the entrails
of my divine mercy cannot resist any more the keen solicitations of my people:
show him the salvation that he asking you and that I grant to him beyond all
the expectations in the Work of my mercy. I am moved with mercy; because the
complaints and the sighs penetrate at the depth of my Heart. The faithful souls
withhold my indignation with the fervor of their prayer and by their pious peregrinations that I have for very
agreeable ; but you, ô My son, it is necessary that you entirely divert it
and that you give a free run to the leniency and the love which devour this
Heart and that I cannot anymore contain... The more instruments I use for the
execution of my intentions of mercy and the more, to some extent, my love
dilates.'' >>
NDAG 292-297
________________________________
<< '' Bear me a
hand, since it is there all that I want. Don’t differ no more, because time
urges... Be moved with compassion for your guilty brothers and tell me with one
of my dearest servants, that failure seized you when seeing the multitude of
sinners who give up my law, and whom to have them return in the right way you
are ready to carry out all the decrees of my tenderness. I will not revoke the
stop of my mercy which I promised in favor of my children: it is thus necessary
that you precipitate your walk in the paths of my justice. It is you whom I
have elected to give to the men of this century a new pledge of my ardent love.
Understand the grandeur of this choice and the appalling responsibility which
would weigh on whoever would bring obstruction to the Work of my mercy. The
Suffering Heart of my Immaculate Mother, it is the refreshing fountain after
which sigh like thirsty deers an innumerable crowd of souls who must be drawn
out of hell by this Work and brought back to my divine Heart that they will
eternally bless and where they will be fully refreshed ; it is in that
limitless ocean that I will drown all their crimes.
I am the production of the love of God for the men; do not be surprised
therefore of the means of salvation that I relentlessly enjoy to offer them.
No, I shall not weary myself, and until the consumption of the centuries, I
will pursue these souls who cost me so much... Whoever helps me to operate the
salvation of only one soul, renders me much more honor and causes me much more
joy than does do to a prince that whom by the personal valor adds to his crown
all the extent of a kingdom... My daughter if I request from the children of the
men a residency for my infinite mercy, it the means I is to have the homage of
their goodwill and to provide them a mean of pleasing me. Do I need that they
give me what I gave them myself with a divine liberality? Heaven is my
throne and earth belongs to me; it is the footboard of my glory. However I want
that the prelate of Toulouse builds me a sanctuary. There I will rest the
Suffering and Immaculate Heart of my tender Mother and by this divine conduit I
will save my people. I will then withdraw the plagues which press him and I
will not strike him with those which threaten him... I give you my Spirit of
Force of Wisdom and of filial surrender. Contemplate well that I want this
Work, and even as all the men would revolt against it, I will not permit that
they stop the execution of it ; because nothing is impossible to God. I am
not similar to those who say and do nothing.''
O.L. showing me O. Rev.
Mother, M.E., and M. Al., said to me:
'' I do not need, my
daughter to give orders to my beloveds, nor to express wills to them ; the
knowledge of the desires of my divine Heart suffices to inflame these souls,
object of my predilection and have them carry it out all until a iota ;
and here what captivates my love and attracts to them my sights of kindness. May
nobody be surprised of this preference; that is due to my infinite justice.
May the Rev. Mother be without any apprehension; I will give her the
mean of achieving all that is necessary for the prompt glorification of my
Immaculate Mother. She will encounter difficulties: may she be frightened,
because I informed her that there must be of them and that I want to recognize
for my Works only those where I will see printed the seal of my cross... I
shall lead my spouse by the hand, when the moment comes... she will confirm the
faith of several... I give you the peace of my Heart and the abundance of my
divine Spirit... I lead little by little the will of the men to conform
entirely to mine; and this victory of my grace, I will then reward it with as
much magnificence as if they had made me this offering from themselves. I
could, without nobody’s help accomplish the Work of my mercy. By wanting to
have the men participate in it it is a new favor that I grant to them. Why is
it necessary that I make so multiplied entreaties to have them welcome this
priceless good? ''
O.L. stopped a long
moment ; then he gave three times the blessing and disappeared >>
NDAG 226-231
May 29, 1874
<< When the priest had
exposed the Holy Sacrament, I saw O.L. in the Holy Host. At his sight all the
sorrows that I had dissipated and the happiness that I was tasting was so large
that it seemed to me that I had never suffered. The memory of the kindnesses of
O.L. was becoming increasingly alive, so that the graces that he had granted me
during all my life were present in front of me, as if I had them all received
in this moment.
O.L. gave three times the blessing with pronouncing the names of the
three divine Persons so that I heard them well. He showed me his divine Heart
as a radiant sun which was spreading streams of light. O.L. said to me with an
incomparable kindness:
'' My thoughts are not
the thoughts of the men, and my ways are not their ways. This is why what seems
to have to stop the execution of my Work will be used for making it emerge more
promptly. Be trustful in my promises and may your faith do not weaken.''
O.L. was very tall. He was
standing up in a cloud of stars. His clothing was of a glaring whiteness filled
with lilies and golden roses. The rays which were coming out his Heart were
going down on his clothing and formed at his feet like a sea. His Sacred Heart
was transparent and I was seeing there the three divine Persons. I was
understanding how the Father was producing his Son, and how of their mutual
love the Holy Spirit was proceeding. O.L. had a crown of spines which made
burst out of his head numerous rays of light. The wounds of his feet and of his
hands were also of an incomparable glare... He said to me:
''... I am no similar to
the men who while using good instruments to do a work, wear them out, destroy
them and end up rejecting them because they cannot any more employ them. For
me, when I choose a soul to be the instrument of some work, I go seek it within
the ignorance and in the middle of its servility, clearly unable to do nothing
by herself and by her personal merit. I take her under my guard, and if she is
flexible to let her be led, I operate great things by her, and far from
becoming unsuitable to my intentions because of the frequent use that I have of
her, she improves day by day to fully accomplish all my desires. This soul I
reserve her for my glory, and at the day of my justices, I will make her sit at
my sides.
... I do not want that my grace be to you an occasion for fall, and it
is necessary that your soul remains in humiliation.''
O.L. pivoting a little
towards Mgr of Toulouse who was on his right said to him:
'' My son, rely on my
words; No, be sure of it, you will not approve the untruth and the wrong.
Examine and meditate one the words which come out of me and the fruit of my
divine operations. If you recognize in all that something contrary to my Gospel, say anathema to my Work,
since such is the demeanor that I have recommended by one of my more zealous defenders; then you
will be in the righteous way. But since I am asking you the accomplishment of a
good that can only produce good, hasten to satisfy the desires of my tenderness
and give me this sanctuary that I am claiming. Do not consider the intermediary
whom I am using to have you know my will; it is only an instrument that I am
using. Go up to the source from where come from these frequent entreaties of my
love and entirely yield to it.'' >>
NDAG 232-235

February 27, 1874
<< The Holy Sacrament
being exposed... I saw the Jesus Child in the Holy Host... his divine Heart which
looked like all of fire, covered with wounds... O.L. was seated and holding at
the right hand the Heart of his divine Mother transpierced by seven swords and surrounded of Lilies, O.L. made me understand that
the tears of his clothing and the wounds which covered his sacred Body, they
are the multiplied crimes of the men and particularly the heresies and
persecutions that are making the souls suffer who by the sanctifying grace
belong to his mystical Body and that the wounds of his divine Heart are persecutions
that one exert against his Pontiff and his Church. He said me with showing me
his large and many wounds:
'' My daughter, this is I
who receives all these outrages; because, more than ever one renew on those who
belong to me the opprobrium of my Passion. Not being able to reach me directly,
they assuage the hatred that they have for me on the chosen of my divine Heart.
However the day is nearing when I will drive back in the abyss the son of
Satan, the child of perdition who introduced desolation into the Saint Place
and up to my sanctuary. I shall strike him with the rods of my justice, since
he still resists the streaks of my mercy and I will not spare all his followers
who, in concert with him, only live any more but in a mire of iniquity. Among
these guilty souls there are several of them whom I cannot resolve to plunge in
hell. It is thus necessary to pray, suffer for them and to obtain them the
grace of the return which I could not give them if somebody is not presented in
the form of a guarantee for them. It is especially necessary to offer me to God
my Father as the only victim capable to disarm his righteous wrath. But if I am
infinitely sensitive to the insults that one make to my children, I am not less
sensitive to the good that one provide to them and to the prayers that one make
to me for them. Whoever is tenderized on the fate of my beloved Pontiff and on the afflicting state of my
Church, causes me an ineffable joy and I will reward him of it.''
I
prayed him to free the Holy Father. He answered me:
'' If I want him to
remain on the cross, it is for my glory and for the good of several. The
Pontiff of my tenderness nourishes himself with the sap of my cross ; he
grows affixed on it, like the cedar of Lebanon and this divine tree will give
him an eternal glory. I am the light of the confessors, and the constancy of
the martyrs. With me my beloved Vicar is invincible. My Church is an unshakable
rock placed in the midst of human passions. The accumulated waves of all kinds
of iniquities will pass as they have already done, without removing of him
anything from his veracity, because it is founded by my absolute divine
domination and that always my eyes and my Heart will look after her. It is
however despite that necessary to much pray for my Church who is so dearest to
me, and one should never forget that if my essential glory is immutable, my
accidental glory is at the mercy of the men. They can grow it or decrease
it ; and my children must be jealous to preserve and increase this glory
which is also theirs... You will tell all these things. It is necessary that it
is known ; and if you do not understand the extent of my words, others
will penetrate the meaning of them, because my friends know what means only one
word in the mouth of God.''
O.L. made a long
pause ; then back to the thought that I had had to do penance for my sins,
He said to me :
'' My daughter, the best
penitence than you can make, that which I want of you, it is the perfect
observation of your holy rule and of the vows that you have made me. You have
to hasten to render you up fully to my holy will and you must precipitate the
course in this way where I have placed you, for I have counted the number of
your days... I give Earth the Suffering
Heart of my Immaculate Mother to bring in appeasement and peace. Here it is
which springs with ardor, all ablaze of the fire which consumes me. You have promised me to
welcome it with readiness, ô my people, do not repel it, it contains for you
infinite treasures of peace mercy and love.'' >>

<< '' All the
prayers that one addressed me until this hour have suspended the halts of my
justice; I hurried to respond to the trust and the love of the faithful souls.
But my indignation is not extinct, because all the Earth is covered with
iniquities. It is necessary to pray me through the Suffering Heart of my very
pure Mother ; then I will fulfil you, because I want that in the nineteen
century, it is by this motherly Heart that you are all saved. I am devoured with
the desire to fill you with peace and of mercy. Thus do not be surprised, ô My
son, if I urge you with so much ardor to accomplish the work by which I want to
spread them in the Universe.''
In this moment I was hearing that Mgr was showing to O.L. a great desire
to do what he was saying him; but he was showing him that he did not have any
funds to start and he recalled him that in his Gospel itself he had said that a
wise man never undertake the construction of a building without examining
before if he will have what to complete it. O.L. told him:
'' My son, consider the
love I have for the souls, the burning desire that I have of this Work. The
height, the width, the depth of my almighty power to which nothing resists:
here are the inexhaustible funds that I give you ; you will find there
beyond what you ask. Only start, the execution of my Work and entirely confide
yourself to my paternal providence.''
O.L. stopped a long moment; he seemed all afflicted and he said to me
with the most touching compassion:
'' My daughter, I suffer
in almost all my members, and soon one will press in me with a renewed violence
the crown of spines that one once put me on the head ; because the
afflictions of my Pontiff beloved will again increase, and it is him who visibly
is the head and the heart of my Church of which I am invisibly the principle
and the life. It is necessary to pray with insistence for my Vicar. I am always
near him to support and defend him. But if I receive with a divine patience the
outrages that one makes me in his person, it is because the hour of revenge and
forgiveness for several still did not ring.''
I was thinking at Mr. E and O.L. said to me :
'' I introduced my
beloved into the cellar of my tenderness; it is there that I have her gulp down
the wine of my pure love. I imprint in her all the feelings which enliven my
divine Heart since she is unable to have any other of it and that having no
proper will, she is of those whom I said that they would be one with me, like
my Father and me we are one.
I was thinking at M. Al. and O.L. said to me :
''... it is necessary
that she say for my part to the Archbishop that I shall engrave his name in
this book of life, (he was showing me his Heart) and that never it will
be erased of it.'' >>
NDAG 172-175
<<
I was showing him the keenest gratitude
for so much kindness and I said him to do if me all that he would want because
I rather suffer all the torments than make him the smallest sorrow. He then
said to me:
'' Apply yourself on the
study of my divine Heart, you will discover there treasures of tenderness that
you do not know ; because despite all the advances of my love, you are of
the number of my children whom I am not loved, because I am not known. I am too
much looked at like an inexorable judge and not enough as a Father full of
tenderness who only seeks the happiness of his children. Here is, My daughter
the complaint of my divine Heart.''
O.L. stopped for a moment. While he was keeping to himself I again
renewed the vow of abandonment and of conformity to his divine will >>

<< I then said to him
that I was nothing, that I was feeling it more than ever, and that besides the
Holy-father would not believe me. He responded to me :
'' My daughter, when I
wanted to create the world I took pleasure to make my Work in the nothingness.
Thus the more you will be reduced to nothing the better I shall use you. You
are right to think that the Holy Father will not believe you ; but be well
persuaded that he will believe me and that my word will entirely accomplish
itself. You will say to R. M. that the congregation will only have its great
prosperity and will only receive the graces of choice that I intend to it when
my Mother will have her chapel and will be publicly honored at
Arnaud-Guilhem.''
... I was seeing a chalice to the right hand of Our Lord, and on that
same side a tall and large cross which seemed to come out of the rose tree
where the feet of this good Savior rested. The cross was surrounded by a crown of spines. I only answered
to him these words: As you shall want, all that you shall want and as long as
you shall want. He answered me :
'' Thus be quite
generous, I will always be close to you, and if the cross, the crown of spines
and the bitterness of that chalice frighten your nature, I will have you see
that I the first trembled to their approach. I will render myself your consoler and I will strengthen
you.''
In this moment I was all penetrated of the infinite purity of God and I
was experiencing a great confusion from the innumerable stains of my soul and
especially of what the Lord, despite it, did not scorn to lean over me >>

<< I understood well
how much the Lord loved them and I was surprised that He allowed them to be so much tested. O.L. said to me:
'' My daughter, how is it
that you cannot yet understand the mysterious sweetness that are contained in
this chalice of bitterness and the flowers of eternal glory which are contained
in the cross, which can grow in all their beauty only on the Calvary? Know that this is how I
treat my best friends, those especially who must be used for the execution of
my greatest intentions.'' >>

<< O.L.... looking
at Mgr of Toulouse with a great kindness he said to him:
'' My son, I have existed
an eternity before the birth of the centuries, and from then I have looked at
you with all the dilection of my tenderness to accomplish the intentions of my
burning love for the hour that is now. It is me who was as of the beginning and
who will be subsequently in all the following ages. My empire will extend ad
infinitum when the centuries finish. I am the Holy God, Strong, Almighty, I
made all things of nothing; I preserve them with such a solicitude that it does
not fall a hair from your head without I allowing it; and however they are
souls who are surprised that I do not scorn to go into all the details that I
mark you to burst my Work out entirely as whether I want it. Did they forget
what I once did for my people? '' >>

<<... I shall lead
my work until its crowning... I shall triumph from all the obstacles; because I
want, with an absolute will that my August Mother has a Sanctuary and be
publicly honored at Arnaud-Guilhem... If the men could understand the great
benefactions that are attached to what I am asking them so ardently, not only
they would hasten to accomplish what I want, but they would even seek to
prevent the desires of my divine Heart. >>

Arnaud-Guilhem, October 1877
the 7th,
<<... O.L. said to me
with showing me on the right of the altar, the Blessed Virgin on a tall and
large column:
'' Here is that my Heart
dilated in contemplating the Work of my Right. Yes I want that the Suffering
and Immaculate Heart of my Blessed Mother be honored in this parish in the
place that I have marked. I blessed all again the mountain which is elected to
receive the source of my infinite mercy, and I am in a hurry that my
servant the Prelate of Toulouse answers the great intentions that I have
on him... ''
The Blessed Virgin then said
with the greatest kindness:
'' Here is the place of
my rest: as soon as the Prelate of Toulouse will have built the sanctuary
of the mercy of my Son, I will inhabit in the mid of my people until the
consumption of the centuries... '' >>
NDAG 398
<< How do you explain
this delay that the Good Lord put to carry out his intentions?
''... This delay, I can’t
deny it, it is manifest, the Work sleeps and seems dead; but you know as well
as me that what slumber can awake and that what has died can resurrect from one
moment to another. We do not know the ways of God...
All that is far from discouraging me. The Lord who spent six days to
create the World and who waited for four thousand years before redeeming it,
will make his work at the day marked in the eternal decrees. I trust in his
Mercy.'' >>

NDAG 087
(Félicie was cautiously saying in 1878:) " I do not know what Pius IX as thought of these communications : what I know it is that the General Mother (one of nuns sent by Félicie) was very welcomed by His Holiness and that she accepted from the holly Father the promise that the Archbishop of Toulouse would be invited to let build a Chapel to the Blessed Virgin at the wood of the apparition. The Pope said to the Mother : If you are authorized to build a Chapel at Arnaud-Guilhem don’t be persuaded that by this permission the Holy Seat sounds like declaring that the apparitions of which you are speaking to me are really divine and that we approve all that they contain. That would take time, long studies. We will see later on if it is necessary to be to take care of it. But there is no inconvenience for you to build a Chapel where you will want and that one’s come to pray the Blessed Virgin. It is very sure that the Pope has spoken in this direction... the Archbishop of Toulouse not more than the Sovereign pontiff is obliged to currently come to a conclusion about the divinity of the apparitions. It thus seems to me that he could treat us as he treats any person who wants to make build an oratory, an unspecified chapel... to draw from his purse and to call for the workers. The Good Lord does not ask him that ; what He requires from him is only not to be opposed to others raising in the wood of the apparitions at Arnaud-Guilhem a Chapel of devotion dedicated to Our Lady of Pains, here is the truth... By supposing that the commission named by the ordinary one must approve the truth of the apparitions before the worship is authorized, it seems to me that that does not mean that this approval must precede the first beginnings of the construction of the sanctuary. However Good God promised to give signs of his might and his kindness as soon as the foundations of the building will have been thrown. "
