A Slice of Acoustic Heaven...Pentatonix's Little Drummer Boy

I came across a post by The Blaze, gushing over an acapella rendition of Little Drummer Boy... and I had to click on the link to see.  I HAD to see anyone deliver this oldie in a fresh and amazing way (I have to admit I was sceptical).

I WAS BLOWN AWAY.
I WAS STUNNED SILENT.

The Fifteen Promises of The Rosary

Besides the Indulgences attached to the Rosary, Our Lady revealed to St. Dominic and Blessed Alan de la Roche additional benefits for those who devoutly pray the Rosary. Our Lady's promise is shown in darker blue text. Additional explanation on and doctrinal connections to each promise is shown following in the smaller normal text font and color. Note that the Rosary is the prayer (non-Liturgical) with the most published Magisterial / Papal documents expounding on its excellence. Vatican II's summary on Our Lady is contained in Lumen Gentium chapter VIII.





1.Whosoever shall faithfully serve me by the recitation of the Rosary shall receive signal graces.Signal Graces are those special and unique Graces to help sanctify us in our state in life. See the remaining promises for an explanation for which these will consist. St. Louis de Montfort states emphatically that the best and fastest way to union with Our Lord is via Our Lady [True Devotion to Mary, chapter four].
2.I promise my special protection and the greatest graces to all those who shall recite the Rosary.Our Lady is our Advocate and the channel of all God's Grace to us. Our Lady is simply highlighting that She will watch especially over us who pray the Rosary. (seeLumen Gentium chapter VIII - Our Lady #62) [a great more detail is available on this topic in True Devotion to Mary, chapter four, by St. Louis de Montfort]
3.The Rosary shall be a powerful armor against hell, it will destroy vice, decrease sin and defeat heresies.This promise, along with the next, is simply the reminder on how fervent prayer will help us all grow in holiness by avoiding sin, especially a prayer with the excellence of the Rosary. An increase in holiness necessarily requires a reduction in sin, vice, and doctrinal errors (heresies). If only the Modernists could be convinced to pray the Rosary! (see Lumen Gentium chapter V - The Call to Holiness #42) St. Louis de Montfort states "Since Mary alone crushed all heresies, as we are told by the Church under the guidance of the Holy Spirit (Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary)..." [True Devotion to Mary #167]
4.It will cause good works to flourish; it will obtain for souls the abundant mercy of God; it will withdraw the hearts of men from the love of the world and its vanities, and will lift them to the desire for Eternal Things. Oh, that souls would sanctify themselves by this means.This promise, along with the previous, is the positive part, that being to live in virtue. Becoming holy is not only avoiding sin, but also growing in virtue. (see Lumen Gentium chapter V - The Call to Holiness #42)
5.The soul which recommends itself to me by the recitation of the Rosary shall not perish.Since Our Lady is our Mother and Advocate, She always assists those who call on Her implicitly by praying the Rosary. The Church reminds us of this in the Memorareprayer, "... never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help or sought your intercession, was left unaided ..."
6.Whosoever shall recite the Rosary devoutly, applying himself to the consideration of its Sacred Mysteries shall never be conquered by misfortune. God will not chastise him in His justice, he shall not perish by an unprovided death; if he be just he shall remain in the grace of God, and become worthy of Eternal Life.This promise highlights the magnitude of Graces that the Rosary brings to whomever prays it. One will draw down God's Mercy rather than His Justice and will have a final chance to repent (see promise #7). One will not be conquered by misfortune means that Our Lady will obtain for the person sufficient Graces to handle said misfortune (i.e. carry the Crosses allowed by God) without falling into despair. As Sacred Scripture tells us, "For my yoke is sweet and my burden light." (Matthew 11:30)
7.Whoever shall have a true devotion for the Rosary shall not die without the Sacraments of the Church.This promise highlights the benefits of obtaining the most possible Graces at the hour of death via the Sacraments of Confession, Eucharist, and Extreme Unction (Anointing of the Sick). Being properly disposed while receiving these Sacraments near death ensures one's salvation (although perhaps with a detour through Purgatory) since a final repentance is possible.
8.Those who are faithful to recite the Rosary shall have during their life and at their death the Light of God and the plenitude of His Graces; at the moment of death they shall participate in the Merits of the Saints in Paradise.Our Lady highlights the great quantity of Graces obtain through praying the Rosary, which assist us during life and at the moment of death. The merits of the Saints are the gift of God's rewards to those persons who responded to His Grace that they obtained during life, and so Our Lady indicates that She will provide a share of that to us at death. With this promise and #7 above, Our Lady is providing the means for the person to have a very holy death.
9.I shall deliver from purgatory those who have been devoted to the Rosary.Should one require Purgatorial cleansing after death, Our Lady will make a special effort to obtain our release from Purgatory through Her intercession as Advocate.
10.The faithful children of the Rosary shall merit a high degree of Glory in Heaven.This promise is a logical consequence of promises #3 and #4 since anyone who truly lives a holier life on earth will obtain a higher place in Heaven. The closer one is to God while living on earth, the close that person is to Him also in Heaven. The Catechism of the Catholic Church states "Spiritual progress tends toward ever more union with Christ." (Catechism of the Catholic Church paragraph 2014)
11.You shall obtain all you ask of me by recitation of the Rosary.This promise emphasizes Our Lady's role as our Advocate and Mediatrix of all Graces. Of course, all requests are subject to God's Most Perfect Will. God will always grant our request if it is beneficial for our soul, and Our Lady will only intercede for us when our request is good for our salvation. (see Lumen Gentium chapter VIII - Our Lady #62)
12.All those who propagate the Holy Rosary shall be aided by me in their necessities.If one promotes the praying of the Rosary, Our Lady emphasizes Her Maternal care for us by obtaining many Graces (i.e. spiritual necessities) and also material necessities (neither excess nor luxury), all subject to the Will of God of course.
13.I have obtained from my Divine Son that all the advocates of the Rosary shall have for intercessors the entire Celestial Court during their life and at the hour of death.Since Our Lady is our Advocate, She brings us additional assistance during our life and at our death from all the saints in Heaven (the Communion of Saints). See paragraphs 954 through 959 in the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
14.All who recite the Rosary are my Sons, and brothers of my Only Son Jesus Christ.Since the Rosary is a most excellent prayer focused on Jesus and His Life and activities in salvation history, it brings us closer to Our Lord and Our Lady. Doctrinally, Our Lady is our Mother and Jesus is our Eldest Brother, besides being our God. (see Lumen Gentium chapter VIII - Our Lady #62)
15.Devotion to my Rosary is a great sign of predestination.Predestination in this context means that, by the sign which is present to a person from the action of devoutly praying the Rosary, God has pre-ordained your salvation. Absolute certainty of salvation can only be truly known if God reveals it to a person because, although we are given sufficient Grace during life, our salvation depends upon our response to said Grace. (See Summa Theologica, Question 23 for a detailed theological explanation). Said another way, if God has guaranteed a person's salvation but has not revealed it to Him, God would want that person to pray the Rosary because of all the benefits and Graces obtained. Therefore the person gets a hint by devotion to the Rosary. This is not to say that praying the Rosary guarantees salvation - by no means. In looking at promises #3 and #4 above, praying the Rosary helps one to live a holy life, which is itself a great sign that a soul is on the road to salvation. (See also paragraphs 381, 488, 600, 2782 in the Catechism of the Catholic Church.) In fact, St. Louis de Montfort says even more strongly that "an infallible and unmistakable sign by which we can distinguish a heretic, a man of false doctrine, an enemy of God, from one of God's true friends is that the hardened sinner and heretic show nothing but contempt and indifference to Our Lady..." [True Devotion to Mary, #30]
Reminder: these promises mean that, by faithfully and devoutly praying the Rosary, Our Lady will obtain for us the necessary Graces to obtain said promises. It is still up to each individual soul to respond to those Graces in order to obtain salvation.

LAURA WANMA (LALA) – 12 YEARS OLD, FROM INDONESIA 
“Beginning with a strong desire to see Jesus since she was at the kindergarten school until she was 12 years old , the Spirit of the Lord came to her and took her spirit to meet Jesus. What she heard and saw, it is a true story indeed , nothing more or less. Please pray and ask the Holy Spirit to give you His wisdom and understanding before reading this testimony.”

LORD JESUS TOOK ME TO HEAVEN

March 17 – 07.00 PM
The first day of the Lord’s visit to LALA : During a praise and worship, my hands were lifted up by themselves, and I told my mother : “Mom, I cannot put my hands down, they are lifted up still. And I saw a lot of angels in the room, and suddenly there was a very bright light and from the light, there was Lord’s voice speaking to me. (Lord said to me that there will be a death of my closest family member, afterward the Lord spoke to me,” Go and tell your closest brother, that he has to return to Me, because I still have MERCY for him, for his life has been far away from ME. My brother had a problem with heavy burden in the family.)
March 18 – 07.00 PM On the second day, the Lord told me that I would pass the exam with good grades.
March 20 – 08.30 PM
While I and my mom were still worshiping the Lord Jesus , suddenly an angel came and took my spirit, we flew up, and then we stopped and stood on a rock. And the angel showed me several beautiful cities and , I could see : Nabire, Serui, Biak, Manokwari. The angel spoke to me,”God told you to go and stand in those cities to deliver a message from the Lord , THEY MUST REPENT because “THERE IS NO MORE TIME , JESUS IS COMING VERY VERY SOON” and I asked the angel: “Who are you? ” and he replied ,” I am Gabriel, an Angel of God.” Then the angel sent my spirit back into my body.
March 21 – 06.00 PM
While I was on my way from Abe to Entrop, I arrived in Kotaraja and was still in a taxi when an angel came, picked me up, and we flew over the city of Jayapura , and the angel said to me: “Try to look down!” and I saw a lot of people standing, they wore black clothes , covering them from head to toe. And their eyes are black and there is a fire in their eyes. I saw them everywhere, in the hospital, at the road sides, in the middle of the street, in the market, at the front of houses, they were everywhere. I saw their hands were holding large forks , then I asked the angel, ” Who are they?” And the angel told me that they were the angels of death. When we were still flying spiritually above the city of Entrop, I saw a group of young people drinking alcohol in the street, I was very sad because the death was surrounding them.
Afterward the angel said to me , “Lala, if there is something happen to you, and you feel uncomfortable, then you can call 2 names : “the BLOOD OF JESUS” and ” IN THE NAME OF JESUS” because this name is very powerful.”
The angel took me and we continued to fly up through the clouds. I saw the earth below me became smaller and smaller. We flew on and passed through the narrow and dark tunnel, I was very scared and the angel hold me, then I saw a bright light and that was Heaven, I and the angel arrived at the gate, there were two guardian angels in front of the gate , the gate was decorated with pearls and crystals and it opened itself, then that both of us walked into the garden.
There was an opened door and through it I could see a long table was neatly arranged and it looked like there will be a party (Holy Communion) soon, there was an angel who stood behind each chair, each of the angels holding a trumpet in his hands, and it looked like they were going to blow the trumpet very soon. Then I continued to walk again inside the Heaven, in the garden I saw different kinds of trees and various kinds of fruit, I saw flowers which were very beautiful, the angel Gabriel came to me, and said: ,”Your time is up and you have to go back” and I spoke to him, “I am so happy here and I do not feel like going back because here I feel so peaceful”, and suddenly there was a voice coming from the Throne of Light and Glory , the voice said to me, “Lala, you have to return now ” and the angel Gabriel escorted me back.
From up above, I was watching over a red taxi which I was riding before, it was going and passed the local government office toward Entrop terminal. And the angel sent my spirit back into my body and I woke up and said “Halleluya!” All passengers were shocked and looked at me, they asked “Sister, are you okay ..?” I was really surprised because I was leaning on the shoulder of a passenger, and she rubbed some oil on my nose because she thought that I was fainting. I stopped the taxi when I reached the destination.
Around 11 pm while I was sleeping, an angel came and took me to the Lord, we entered the gate of Heaven, and I saw a man standing and He was wearing a very long white robe. He opened His hands to me, I walked toward Him and He carried me, and I know that He was JESUS, then we both walked in Heaven. The heaven is so wonderful and full of kinds of flowers, which I have never seen here on the earth. Everything is there, my heart felt very peaceful in that place, there are shady trees, bearing fruits, and there is also a very clear flowing river.
LORD JESUS told me “Lala, would you like trying to put your feet in the water?” and I put them into the water. God spoke to me again “You may drink the water.” (When I drank it , I felt so peaceful at heart) and the Lord Jesus spoke to me again “You can immerse your head in the water, and you will be able to breathe.”   What the Lord Jesus said was right.  There were lots of fish coming around me, I said to Jesus,” I live on the earth and I cannot catch the fish , they will flee when I do so.”  Lord Jesus said to me ,” The fish here can talk to you, Lala.”
Furthermore, I kept walking with Jesus and I asked Him ,”How can You watch the world with the sins that the people have been doing ,while the world is too big, how do You see those?” Jesus told me to come with Him, and He was going to show me how. Jesus and me kept walking and He showed me, there was a large glass table and I saw the world was so small. I could also see what sins people did, I was surprised and saw someone that I know, I said to Jesus, “Lord, I can see below, my mother and me were lying in bed. Then He answered, “Yes, I know, there was also an angel standing in your room.”
I and LORD JESUS walked again, I saw there was a room and there were two angels standing there. There was a big book on the table, and I asked the Lord, “God, what kind of book is this? The Lord Jesus answered , “This is The Book of Life.“, I asked again, ” Can I see inside the book?"   The Lord Jesus answered “Yes, you can.” And the two Angels were ready to open the book page by page , on the first page I saw the names of one family that I know, I saw it again and there was my brother’s name and I said to Jesus, “God, this is my brother and LORD Jesus replied,” Yes, I know his life. Now he is here and he is praising the Lord. The angel opened the following page, I saw the name of the person which I also know again and I said to Jesus,” This is my uncle”. Lord Jesus said, “yes, he is here.” I embraced Jesus and cried. Then Jesus and I continued to walk in the garden when I saw two people came toward me, the older one is around 18 or 19 years old while the younger one is 2 years-old, the little boy ran and hugged me but I felt he went through since we both are in spirit form.
The older boy who was 18-19 years old, looked so similar with my mother , they looked like twins, then I remembered my mother has told me that I had an older brother who has passed away since I was a baby, then I knew that he was my brother. After that, both of them went back to their own rooms.
Then I saw a beautiful flower, I asked Lord Jesus, “Lord, can I pick this flower ..? I would like to give it to my mother ,for my mother loves flowers”.   JESUS said ” The time has not come yet for you to get the flowers and fruits from this place, My child!”  and afterwards Jesus and I were still walking.  When I saw a house whose door was open, I asked the Lord Jesus whether I could get into the house, the Lord Jesus said “Yes, you can.”  When I got to the front door of the house, I could not enter the house because the floor was made of gold.  I said to the LORD JESUS “Wow God… The floor is very beautiful, gold is very expensive on the earth “, and the Lord Jesus smiled and said,” This is your house, there are some houses which are similar to this one. I asked, “God, may I go into the next house?”  Then the Lord Jesus said, “The houses whose doors are closed, they belong to others.” The Lord Jesus said, “Follow Me.”
THE LORD JESUS TOOK ME TO HELL

THE LORD JESUS held me and then we both flew into a wide tunnel.  Lord Jesus and me kept on going along when I could smell a very horrible door and then I felt the air was very hot.  Far ahead I saw a three-legged demon, and he held a trident and when he saw Jesus, he bowed down.  Lord Jesus and me continued to move on to a place and LORD JESUS allowed me to see a very deep well, full of men being tortured by devils. The devils tormented them until their flesh came apart but they could not die.

We walked again and then I saw a table with a book on it and it was written “adultery”.  I saw people naked in a lake of fire. They saw Jesus and called “Father … Father …” but Jesus did not look at them. I still walked with Jesus, and we noticed there was a servant of God.  Then I asked Lord Jesus, ” God! Why is there a servant of God in the hell?  LORD JESUS said “I chose him, but he never delivered My message.” Then he saw Lord Jesus and shouted “Father … Father … please take me just for a minute out of this place, for I want to repent. “

Then the Lord Jesus said to him, “It’s too late, now I’m using her as my servant.” while pointing to me. And we went on, then I saw a lot of people being tortured, and Jesus said to me “These people are not faithful with tithes.”  And I saw again there were so many young people who were dancing on the nails to the rhythm of the music. If the rhythm of the rock music was heard, they had to jump faster and were not allowed to stop for a moment. If they stopped, the devils came and tormented them.

Then we went back to Heaven through the wide path. After arrived in Heaven, Lord Jesus said to me, “Lala, what you have seen, you have to tell My people. And the Lord Jesus carried me and said, “Lala, you have to surrender your life in Me, you have to be baptized on March 25. And tell My servant, Ronald, I entrust him to write your book. “

Then the Lord Jesus looked at Gabriel, and Gabriel bowed down to worship under the feet of JESUS. Then the Lord Jesus said to Gabriel, “Bring My child back.” And Gabriel took me and we walked to the gate and I saw another angel came and he spoke to Gabriel with the language which I did not understand, but Gabriel pointed to me and he looked at the Throne of GOD and so was the angel, Michael, and the LORD JESUS looked at us, then Michael bowed down and allowed Gabriel and me to continue our journey.

On our way back, Gabriel asked me, “What did you talk about with the Father?” And I replied, “There are a lot of things JESUS spoke to me.” And I asked the angel,” What do you do in heaven?” The angel answered, “I am the guard of our LORD JESUS, whatever the Lord Jesus asks me to do, then I do it all”.
As we got closer to my house, we walked and saw a lot of angels of death standing on the left and right side of the road. When we arrived, I saw one standing in front of the fence. And at the front door of our house there was one angel of God guarding the house. The Angel of Death was very nervous as he wanted to get into the house but he could not do it because there was an angel of God guarding our house. After that, the angel of death went to the back of the house and he tried to get in but still he could not succeed because there were two angels of God guarding the back door of our house. Unsatisfactorily, the angel of death tried to get in for the second time but he was thrown, fell down and disappeared like dust in the blowing wind. Gabriel escorted me back to my bedroom and my spirit went back inside my body physically at 06.00 am. Afterward, I returned to my daily activities as a student.

THURSDAY, March 22 – 07.00 PM
When we had a service in a house of our church’s member, the angel Gabriel came to pick me up and took me to the Lord Jesus. Then the LORD JESUS showed me the city that I had to go. He asked me to deliver the message to a Catholic church in Wamena.

FRIDAY, March 23, 09.00 AM
The angel came to pick me up and took me to the Lord. LORD JESUS delivered a special message for the Church in the village “Harapan” and said, “Tell the church, do not be too late for a service. Those who are always late, will not be a part of the Kingdom of Heaven. When the service is going on, none is allowed to stay outside the church, and send a message to the mothers whose children are still babies and toddlers, that they have to sit inside the church and listen to the WORDS OF GOD. Never let the children stay in the nursing room or day care room, everybody has to participate in the service even though all seats are full, for sitting on the floor should not be a problem. Everybody has to respect MY WORDS.”

During the day at the same time after we finished “prayer and fasting”, I delivered a message of the LORD JESUS to Sunday school teachers. On the way back home from the church, the angel of God took me to the Lord Jesus and He said to me, “Thank you Lala, that you have delivered My message to the Sunday School Teachers.” And He spoke to me again “On Sunday, you will have to deliver the message to the church members. You must not only deliver the message to the church and your family, but you have to deliver the message to other religions as well: Buddhism, Muslim, Hinduism, etc. since they also should receive salvation and deliver the message as soon as possible, because I’ll take you out to other cities.” (John 14, 6)

At 7.00 pm, the angel came to take me to the Lord, and the Lord Jesus spoke to me, “Lala, faster, faster, faster , run and tell all of My people, My Time is almost up! And the LORD JESUS showed me, the time of heaven. I saw the short hand pointed to a number and the long hand was very closed to it. However, I cannot see the number on the clock. LORD JESUS said to me, “Lala, run fast and send the message to My people, MY time is almost over”. And the Lord Jesus said to me again, “Lala, no angel has ever seen the time in heaven. I allow you to see the time of heaven so that you can convey what you have seen to My people. “

At 8.30 pm, the angel came to pick me and took me back to the Lord and the Lord Jesus showed me once again the time of heaven which is very short. LORD JESUS said to me, “Tell your classmates, your teachers, your neighbours, and anyone you meet. Tell them to repent and turn to Me.”

Saturday, March 24 – 01.00 PM
I was with my mother and my aunt. We were at Wilson Sentani family’s residence. At 1.00 pm, while my aunt were praying for the Wilson family, and I again laid in the room, I saw the angel come, I could see the angel coming because my spirit was out of my body and sitting on the bed . I called the Angel to enter the room but the angel was standing there outside the room and I called him once again. The angel pointed to my aunt who was praying. I called the angel once again, and the angel said to me “I cannot enter the room, (he pointed his finger to my aunt), since the servant is talking to the Father, so that I have to wait until she finishes praying or says Amen “, then the angel came into the room and took me to the Lord Jesus. After we arrived in Heaven, the Lord Jesus told me a message to deliver.

At 12.00 pm, I found my body became heavy and wanted to sleep, because an angel would come to pick me , but my mom kept telling me to get my clothes ready for tomorrow morning service. Once I fell asleep, an angel came to take me to the Lord. And the Lord Jesus started to speak to me. “Lala, tell your mom to allow you to sleep when your body is heavy , because I want to say something very important”.

Then He reproved for the second time, LORD JESUS said “Lala, why did you forget what I conveyed to you, you should remember all of My message.” I said to Jesus, “God, please forgive me and the LORD JESUS answered “I will return everything when you testify.”

Sunday, March 25 – morning time
With the mercy of the Lord JESUS, I could stand and testified to deliver the message from the Lord Jesus to the church of Barachiel.  After I finished with my testimony, I got myself water baptized (to die and rise with Jesus) and after the service, we were called to attend a meeting, which was going to discuss about a Revival service.  I also participated in the meeting, and I saw an angel came to pick me up, and took me to the Lord Jesus. Jesus said,”Tell My servants, to go on with the Revival service, and I will go down to intervene.”
At 4:00 pm, I was still in the pastoral house, I was taken by an angel to see the Lord. LORD JESUS showed me, a big hole which was deep and dark. I saw there were a lot of people pulled into the hole, they tried to resist, but failed and fell into the hole.

March 26 – 02.00 AM
An angel came and took me to the Lord, the Lord Jesus said “I will use you as My servant until I come back, all duties and responsibilities I gave you , is not finished yet, but I will keep using you until I come back.”

At 06.00 pm as usual, an angel picked me up and took me to the Lord, again the LORD JESUS showed me a big dark hole. JESUS spoke with me, “The hole that you see, is the place where the unfaithful people are going into for 3.5 years of great persecution (Rev 13), while for My faithful people I will move them to a place that I have prepared, away from the eyes of the snake.”

At 08.00 pm, an angel picked me and took me to the Lord, and He said to me, “Lala, do not argue with your mom, never against my 5th commandment, that you have to honor your father and your mother.”

When I heard it, I felt guilty and cried. I also saw the LORD JESUS crying and looked so sad , I saw the tears dripping from His eyes. LORD JESUS said to me “Lala do not cry, I want you to listen and obey my 5th commandment (to honor your parents) so that you may live long and you are blessed. I want to use you amazingly and wonderfully. Then JESUS said to me, ” Delete all the worldly songs from your mobile phone”  (James 4,4). And He continued “You should be more quiet at your school, how can I deliver a message to you, if you do not calm yourself down.” And I replied, “Lord Jesus, I cannot calm down because friends always come bothering me and ask me to play, what if I do not go to school and just stay at home?” And He answered “No, you have to go to school.”

Tuesday, March 27 – 10.30 am
While I was having my school exams, the angel took me to the Lord, and the Lord Jesus said to me “THERE IS NO MORE TIME, you have to deliver the message to My people urgently.”

At 07.00 PM, being in a Worship Service , as usual an angel picked and took me to the LORD JESUS. I saw Jesus standing in front of the gate and waiting for me, once I got there, Jesus said, “You have to go to Wamena urgently and deliver My message to My people, they have to REPENT because the time is up. You need to go there to Wamena.” Lord Jesus said with His sad face , with a downcast face and cried. His tears dropped and fell on a large glass table where JESUS can see everything that people say and do. I asked the Lord, “Why do you cry ?.” He did not answer my question but His tears kept falling on the table and I wiped the tears with a white robe that I wore.  When I was in the Kingdom of Heaven, I always wore a white robe that I had never put it on before.

Then the Lord Jesus spoke to me and still crying, “Lala , tell My people urgently, they have to turn to Me quickly, Time is absolutely over.”

Lord Jesus said again,”I desire none ever be lost, but I want them all sitting on My lap.”

LORD JESUS BLESS YOU

Marie Julie Jahenny, Stigmatist

Source : http://www.catholictradition.org/Passion/jahenny.htm
This is taken almost wholesale from  of the above link.  Forgive the plagiarism..

This French mystic predicted the devastation of the Catholic Church through the Novus Ordo Mass introduced by Pope Paul VI. It is only now that I read of her life and the prophecies which so closely follow the Passion of our Lord. If only there had been holy Churchmen who had foreknowledge of the Heaven's dire warnings at the time of Vatican II...





THE STIGMATIST
To begin with, just what is the stigmata?

Stigmatization exists only with Ecstatics as far as the Church has been able to determine and is preceded and accompanied by enormous suffering, physical and moral, which thus makes the subject similar to the suffering Jesus. Absence of this suffering would not be a good sign as the stigmata are just the symbol of union with the Divine Crucified One and participation with His martyrdom.

Existence of the stigmata is proved by so many witnesses, that unbelievers themselves generally admit their existence but they try to give them a natural explanation.

Marie-Julie was born February 12, 1850 at Blain in the hamlet of Coyault, the daughter of Charles Jahenny and Marie Boya and the eldest of five children. Her parents belonged to that class of Catholic peasant who knew how to combine love of work and a simple life-style to being modestly well-off.

From the time of her first Communion, Marie-Julie was drawn to the Divine Host of the Tabernacle and she joyfully complied to the desire of Jesus Who said to her "Stay a little longer with Me." Which she joyfully did.
Yet dutiful as a daughter of her household, she willingly played with her sisters, her brother and her friends, to please them. As soon as she was old enough she helped her mother with the housework. To become more holy she became a Third Order Franciscan. For as long as she was able to go to Church," writes M. Ragot [who wrote about her stigmatization], "she was the model of the parish for her regularity and modesty and everyone was edified by her recollection, her devotion and fervor." 

The stigmatization of Marie-Julie began in 1873.
Doctor Imbert-Gourbeyre, Professor at the Faculty of Medicine at Clermont-Ferrand, writes: "From the first years of the stigmata ... I was called by Monsignor Fournier, Bishop of Nantes, to examine medically this young Breton peasant; she was then twenty three years old. The examination over, I declared to the Bishop that he possessed a young woman with a genuine stigmata. That there was no fraud at La Fraudais. Monsignor Fournier arrived promptly at the conviction that the manifestations presented by his diocesan were of Divine origin."


On June 6, 1875, the holy Bishop wrote to the doctor: "The reports that I receive daily on Marie-Julie show me more and more the action of God on this soul. He grants her graces of an obvious supernatural order. At the same time she grows in virtue and noble sentiments. The natural and human disappear in her, and she often speaks to people she sees or who are referred to her giving instructions which are not in keeping with her normal state. Therefore be confident, dear Doctor, the time will come when Marie-Julie herself will be the proof ... She is sincere: what she manifests is supernatural. I see nothing but good, edifying and in conformity with the principles of spirituality. Therefore it is God Who favors her; you may he sure it will turn out well.


On February 22, 1873, Marie-Julie was seriously ill; Our Lady appeared to her telling her she would have much to suffer. The following March, on the 15th, there was another apparition of the Mother of God: She asked Marie-Julie if she would accept the same sufferings that her Son had endured for men. The reply was in the affirmative upon which Our Lady announced that she would later have five wounds. The stigmata began six days later.
The doctor interrogated Marie-Julie as to the way she had received the stigmata. She replied: "When I received the stigmata, Our Lord appeared to me with radiant wounds; it was as if a sun surrounded them.
"A luminous ray came out of each wound and struck my hands, feet and side; at the end of each ray there was a drop of red blood. The ray that left the side of Our Lord was twice as wide as the others and was shaped like a lance. The pain I felt was very great, but it lasted barely one second."
On February 20, 1874: "No sooner had Marie-Julie received the five wounds than Our Lady announced that she would become the bride of Our Lord ..."

"In 1875, Marie-Julie announced for over a month and several times that she would soon have a new stigmata: a cross and a flower with the inscription, "CRUX AVE" which would be impressed on her chest. More than a week beforehand she specified the date: it was to be on the 7th of December. The day before Marie-Julie's chest was examined to establish that the promised stigmata did not yet exist. The following day, before the ecstasy, she offered to be examined again; it was deemed useless, she had the right to be believed. Soon she went into ecstasy and while the marvelous impression was being made, witnesses and family were able to verify incomparable scents that emanated from her body through her clothes. When the ecstasy was over, one could see the cross, the flower, and the inscription on her chest."

"Marie-Julie possesses at this moment the most numerous stigmata that have yet been seen: the five wounds, the crown, the stigmata of the shoulder, of the scourging and of the ropes that tied Our Savior, the stigmata of the ring finger, and the epigraphic and figurative stigmata."

When she first received the stigmata, it bled every Friday, later only on Good Friday, but the pain of the stigmata always increased, and always more so on Fridays.

Several Crucifixes bled at Marie-Julie's home. At the request of the stigmatist who was bed-ridden, Father David, her director, had given her a picture of Our Lord on the Cross after having blessed it. An extraordinary attraction for this picture seized her and she loved to meditate with it several times a day. On the 21st of January 1877 Our Lord appeared to her while she was in ecstasy and said to her: "Oh, you who love Me, see how I suffer ... I pour out My Divine Blood to pay for the sins of France ... The picture where I am crucified before which you meditate, will remind you of My suffering. The Divine Blood of My Five Wounds which has just flowed on My Cross, will flow on the five Wounds of this picture ... tell your Father to collect it. .. and now come back to earth: you will find My five Wounds bathed in blood."

Coming back to herself, Marie-Julie saw the picture covered in blood and all her family witnessed the miracle. Father David kept the miraculous picture.

Mr. Pierre Ragot writes with exactitude in his small book on Marie-Julie: "To purify His elect and to make them victims of atonement, God often uses Satan, who in his hatred of mankind, is in His hands the most active instrument. Sacred Scripture and especially hagiography give us numerous examples of this conduct of Providence."

Sacramentals.com also carries the Medal of Our Lady of Good Counsel [Notre Dame de la Bonne Garde], which is in strict agreement with the revelations received by Marie-Julie in the course of several ecstasies and recalls the special devotion that this pious stigmatist devoted to the veneration of the Cross and to the Very Holy Virgin whom she implored so often at the foot of the ancient statue of the Notre Dame de la Bonne Garde --- which means Our Lady of Good Protection - and the medal has come to be known as the medal of Our Mother of Good Counsel.

Marie-Julie was molested by the devil many times. The author cites Doctor Imbert-Gourbeyre: "Marie-Julie had received the stigmata but a few weeks and already Our Lady had warned her several times that she would soon be attacked by the devil. On the 26th of April, She appeared to her again and announced severe trials, promising that She would never abandon her then She disappeared with a gracious smile.
"A quarter of an hour later the devil appeared to Marie-Julie."

He attacked her, made the religious pictures fall, the relics; etc. rosaries broken, straw mattress torn, a crucifix thrown on the floor; some people thrown on the floor. Marie-Julie covered in wounds, scratches, beaten nearly every day. The devil appearing either in his usual form or as an animal or under the appearance of a young man of great beauty, always promising cures, riches, etc.  The wounds and scratches provoked by the devil never went septic and healed very quickly with holy water.

On the 29th of September, on the feast of Saint Michael, the devil was defeated and returned the objects he had previously stolen. Marie-Julie was left in peace until the following month of April. At that moment the diabolical assaults began again.  Satan forced grass into her mouth and a phial of poisoned blood closing her jaws so that she could not open them until after an exorcism pronounced by Father David. On 12th of January 1875 the devil appeared to her in the form of a priest with a stole that had no cross and wanted to give her a host which she refused.

Like many other great mystics Marie-Julie underwent starvation or miraculous abstinence. This total abstinence began for the first time on the 12th of April 1874 and lasted ninety four days.  She had announced it beforehand as she also did for the second period which lasted five years, one month and twenty two days from the 28th of December 1875.  As she had predicted, during these periods Holy Communion was enough to sustain her and as Doctor Imbert-Gourbeyre recorded during the whole of this period there were no liquid or solid excretions. 

During her ecstasies one could observe her usual characteristics in this miraculous state the senses no longer acted; her soul was completely absorbed in God; absolute insensibility to the point that she would not notice or make the least movement when she was pricked or burned or when violent lights were flashed in her eyes.  Some of her ecstasies were accompanied by levitation; at that moment she was ecstatically light.

We add that when her spiritual director or a competent religious Authority gave her the order to interrupt her ecstasy and come back to ordinary life, she obeyed immediately whether the "call" was mental vocal or in writing.
Marie-Julie also possessed the ability to distinguish between an unconsecrated Host and the actual Eucharist.

Marie-Julie had the grace almost uniquely reserved to stigmatists, but even exceptional for them of having several auxiliary Angels as well as their own Guardian. She enjoyed this privilege during the time she was deaf, dumb, blind and paralysed.

During Christmas night 1879 she received the Child Jesus in her arms, her description of the scene is really touching: "I felt in my soul a great heat of love which set me ablaze; I felt my soul leaving and going in the midst of a multitude of Angels who were going to the Divine crib, and when I was at the Holy Child's crib, I felt this same burning as I had never felt before; and at once the Holy Child said to His dear Mother: 'My dear Mother, give Me the beautiful robe that we have prepared, you and I.' And Our Lady gave me a white dress, and the small Child Jesus placed a white cloak over my shoulders. He said to me: 'I want to rest on your heart, in your arms.' I was about to run away so as not to take Him because I am not worthy, when He said to me: 'Stay there, I want you to carry Me.'  I began to cry; He dried my tears with His small hand and there is a crib of fire I received the Holy Infant Jesus ... I held Him in my hands, His adorable little head on my heart, while I held Him, He stroked my cheeks with His delicate hands. He gave me a small kiss ... there in the middle of my forehead, and afterwards He had in His right hand a golden nail and placed it like this ... straight on my heart, saying: 'One day this same golden nail will remain engraved where I have placed it! From the place of this nail will exude a scent which will be the same when you come out of the tomb before the Resurrection.' I do not know what this means and I did not ask Him. 'The marvels of the scent,' He said to me, 'will be the same during your life as after your death.' In fact, from that time on there often came these unique scents from Marie-Julie's chest which were smelled by numerous visitors.

HER PROPHECIES
Herewith are but a few of her predictions, visions, and or prophecies, some of which concern France, while others more universal:


As early as the 15th of September 1879, Marie-Julie announced Bismarck's Kulturkampf and the war in Germany against Catholics. She also announced the religious persecutions triggered off by the Freemasons and Republicans; military service imposed on religious; the plundering of Church possessions; the closing of colleges; departure and exile of Religious Congregations. The separation of Church and State, the suppression of Crucifixes in hospitals, in courtrooms and teaching establishments; suppression of chaplains in the Army and Navy, the creation of atheistic schools, iniquity, irreligion, revolution and anti-patriotism. In one word, crime---and she added that youth would be directed "by all that is most corrupt and dirty and would be instructed in a blasphemous religion ... the mortal creature would be made to adore all that is most infamous and ignoble, and indecently presented."


 And she said that the Chamber of Deputies is the "hall of hell" and would be struck by the fire of Heaven. 


As early as the 15th of September 1881 she announced all the circumstances of the death of Melanie Calvat, the shepherdess of La Salette, who died twenty-three years later, on the 15th of December, 1904, at Altamura, in Italy, and the prophecy came true exactly.
She announced beforehand the eruption of Mont Pele at St. Pierre in the Martinique, and then described it while it was taking place. 


She predicted the Transvaal war as early as 1881 and said it would take place at the death of Queen Victoria who died in 1901. She added that France would always have to beware of England.

On the 26th of October 1877, Marie-Julie saw four crosses. The first was for: "France, your tears and your walling have not been heard." 

The second: "Brittany, your moaning heart sighed to my Son. He has heard your voice." 
The third: "Dear Vendee, how many times you have shed your blood for your faith. My blessings will fall on you." 

The fourth: "Alsace and Lorraine will be reunited to France." 


At the death of Leo XIII, a few days before the opening of the conclave, Marie-Julie had the following revelation which describes in advance the reign of the future Pope: "The Adriatic Cardinal is chosen by God, His reign will be that of Christ. He will not last very long and will be called Pius." 

She predicted the world wars of 1914 and 1939. About this last one, speaking of the Germans, as early as the 18th of November, 1920, she said: "These cruel and barbaric souls have not disarmed against the poor children of My Kingdom ... They seek by means of great injustice to pay their debts with iron ... They will come back. They will do a lot of harm ... But I will keep My Kingdom ... My Divine power will stop their rage ... I will drive them back." 


She foresaw the war in Algeria: "The land of the Arabs will triumph over the poor French armies; all the priests of those religious will have to undergo the most cruel miseries ..." This took place to the letter, since those unfortunate priests were odiously persecuted by too many diocesan Ordinaries of the Metropolis and by the majority of the clergy ...
She depicted a terribly exact portrait of the false savior, de Gaulle, who was, in fact, consciously or unconsciously, the biggest malefactor in the history of France. Our Lord had said to Marie-Julie: "His lies and his conceit do not deceive Me." [The author provides a footnote quoting a Mon. Zeller former Grandmaster of the Freemasons who relates the reception by De Gaulle of the Grand Lodge of the Grand Orient in France at Algiers in 1943.]


As to the events and calamities that are either happening now or are to come:
The Mother of God complains of the contempt that the clergy shows with regard to her messages and her apparitions, and Our Lord adds on the 4th of January, 1884: "I have done everything for My people. I sent My Mother on earth. Very few believed in Her words. My voice was heard everywhere through the victims I Myself  had chosen and on whom I worked marvels and prodigies. They were despised and persecuted..." 


On the 19th of September 1901---anniversary of the apparition at La Salette---Our Lady said: "Today my eyes still have a trace of the tears that I shed on that day, when I wanted to bring my children the good news if they converted, but sad news if they continued with their iniquities ... They take little notice of what I revealed ... Now is the time that these great promises will be accomplished that the Church authorities have despised ... They did not want the light!... I have suffered a great deal for all this. Pain oppresses my heart at this moment ... The most painful sword right now is to see the provisions that have been taken and that are in the making ... It is to see the pastors detaching themselves from the Sacred Bond that directs and governs Holy Church ... My children, when I remember the day I brought my warnings to the holy mountain (La Salette), to the threatened world; when I remember the harsh reception of my words! ... not by all, but by many. And those who should have made them known to the souls, hearts and spirits of children with great confidence, deep penetration; they took no notice! They despised them and most of them refused their confidence ... 


On the 4th of August 1904, the Queen of Heaven returned again to the question because of the wish of some holy priests who wanted to make known the message of La Salette, "Other pastors rebelled," and the message was: "Put back under seas," whereas it should have been "delivered to the world." It was because pastors and the priesthood was the great issue that there was a rebellion "How do you expect punishments not to fall on the world ... they go so far as to make my words disappear and to cause suffering to the ones I devoted to this Holy Cause ... I will reward my good pastors ...  my servants ..."


"Self respect is mortified. I know how my Son is served in Holy Orders and how priests live at all times ... How do you expect Heaven to bless the earth! I do not speak of all pastors, all priests, but the number I exclude is very small ... All the souls are allowed to drift ... very little notice is taken of their salvation! ... They like to rest, good living and comfort ... Our dear priest victims are very few! The Holy Tribunal is looked at with indifference ... they go up to the Holy Altar because they are forced to accomplish this act ..." 


On the 12th of May 1896: "I have done everything I could to save My people from the punishments. Many priests have grumbled and would not believe My Immaculate Word ... They greatly displease me and have offended the Holy of Holies ..."


And again on the 19th of September of the same year: "The priest is no longer humble; he is no longer respectful, he is frivolous and cold in the holy service. He thinks of strengthening his body when he lets souls groan without consolation ... The worldly feasts will be paid for terribly in eternity... On the day of the great shake-up of My anger: Men will deny the King they served. The faithless priest will not be afraid to deny his Father and put to shame his priesthood for all eternity like Judas. We shall see the betrayals that will take place the day that the terror will be widespread ... To save the life of the body, many will lose their souls!"


On the 29th of October 1903: "The warnings of the Holy of Holies have been disregarded ... His words were rebuffed by those who should have propagated them, listened to them and increased the grace of love. The missions that Our Lady fulfilled on earth have not been known. No notice was taken of her most solemn words ... there was a revolt against her revelations ... from those who should have spread these words in the whole of France. .. but what a heavy cross awaits them! 


A heavy burden will overwhelm them ... A distinct justice is reserved for them..." 


And in 1907 Our Lord added: "Does not the systematic stifling of My Divine Words comprise the gravest responsibilities! This is why severe accounts will be demanded of those who intercepted the message from on high!" 


During the elections which ensured the triumph of the Republicans (in France) in 1877 and 1879, Our Lady complained: "It was the priests, nearly all of them who were the first to call for the ungodly men who govern the world. The priests hid themselves to give their vote to the revolutionaries ..." (But) "the eyes of my Son followed them." 


"Today, they no longer hide themselves, many of them follow the procession behind the red flag. But Our Lord adds, and refers not only to the clergy but to the majority of the population: "They have all wanted disorder and revolution; they will have their fill." (June 1, 1882). 


On another occasion He complained (October 25, 1881): "I announce a terrible punishment for those I have clothed with sacred vestments and filled with grace ... They persecute My Church ... They are very guilty, not all of them, but many, far the greater number ... I know their intentions, I know their thoughts ... I see weakness taking hold of my priests to a terrifying extent, the greatest part is not on the royalist side, they are on the side that plants in this poor country, their standard is the color of blood and terror." 


And the Queen of Heaven continues: "More than ever the number of priests that one calls real ministers of God is very small, it is really small ... There are many priests who will not ... be asked, on the day of terror, to violate the secrets of the confessional ... This has already started. Did they not install microphones in Padre Pio's confessional ... and did not one of the accomplices of this outrage occupy for too long a time an important place at the Vatican ..." 


She continues: "There are some who work under cover while waiting to discard their priestly vestments to better cause horror and abomination amongst the people ... There will be scandals ... you must expect all kinds of things ... The heart of the Church is now only a bleeding wound. Today crime is brought to the foot of the altar ..."
And since the stigmatist said she would not repeat this, St. Michael the Archangel replied: "The Lord desires it ... I tell the friends of God to prepare themselves and to redouble their prayers because everything is on the point of very great suffering, but God's friends are forewarned. They can now only wait in the silence of their generous faith ... all the friends of the Cross have a special protection reserved by the Holy of Holies and His Beloved Mother."


Our Lord specifies [1881]: "Woe to the priest who does not reflect on the enormous responsibility which he will have to give back to Me. And the pastors of the Church [the bishops] what will they do for their faith! The greater number are ready to give their faith to save their bodies ... the suffering they cause [the Church] will never be repaired. In a short time the pastors of the Church will have spread scandals everywhere and will have given the last sword thrust to holy Church." 


And soon after, on the 14th of December 1881, Our Lady added: "The time of crimes has begun ... woe to those who dare to make pacts with these personages who appear in diabolical visions ... my victim, many souls will be possessed a few months before (the crisis) ..., the world will be mad with fear and in this madness, the devil, who is everywhere on earth, will make them deny their Baptism and the Cross ..." 


On the same day did she not announce abortion when she said: "The times of crime have begun. Many mothers will be heartless for their own fruits, still innocent, flowers in Heaven!"


On the 24th of April 1884, Our Lord said: "Priests will separate themselves from the voice of authority in greatest numbers. A scandalous freedom of disunion, of levity, will spread in all the dioceses of France ..." 



"Later on Our Lord showed me the number of apostasies at the time of the fatal event ... It will be the ministers of God, who will be the first to begin, not all of them ... This punishment will open the Heavens and the God of vengeance will appear with a display of justice ... Never had I seen from so close the anger of God..." (November 11, 1884). "But woe to the pastors who abandon the flock" (January 27, 1882). 


Marie-Julie announces the profanation of the Holy Species: "They will be thrown in the mud." (October 17,1883) This has in fact happened. 


"The temples of God, where Hell has taken up residence and placed its field of action. It is time to raise one's eyes to Heaven because in all corners of the world there will be Antichrists as at the time of the Last Judgment who will travel through the whole world to pervert ..." 


She sees the temporary triumph of Freemasonry, the secularized priest ... all these enemies want churches to become theaters of infernal dances and will continue implacably their aim to obtain the cessation of Holy Mass. 
  
They also intend to remove all Crucifixes and statues of the Saints from all the shrines and throw them in a profane place to break them with joy." 


How could she foresee all that is happening in front of our eyes since the 9th of June 1880 if she was not inspired? 


On the 19th of March 1878, Our Lady gave the approximate date of the last crisis: "In a hundred years Heaven will have harvested its crop ... even before the hundred years are up." Therefore, it is not far off. 


And, He announced the introduction of the enemies of the Church into its bosom: "Before long they will come into power in everything and it will be freedom of evil ... The holy ministry will be covered in shame ... An undercover grumbling reigns in the hearts of many priests against the bond of Faith (the Pope)." 


She frequently announced that the enemies of the Church would penetrate into its bosom: "And perpetrate horrible scandals and thrust the sword into the heart of the Church. Rage has never been greater." 


 She had a vision of a dialogue between Our Lord and Lucifer and the latter said: I will attack the Church. I will overthrow the Cross, I will decimate the people, I will deposit a great weakness of Faith in hearts. There will also be A GREAT DENIAL OF RELIGION. For a time I will be MASTER of all things, everything will be under MY CONTROL, even Your temple and all Your people." 


"Saint Michael says that Satan will have possession of everything for some time and that he will reign completely over everything; that all goodness, Faith, Religion will be buried in the tomb ... Satan and his own will triumph with joy, but after this triumph, the Lord will in His turn gather His Own people and will REIGN and TRIUMPH OVER EVIL and WILL RAISE UP from the tomb the buried Church, the prostrated Cross ..." 


Marie-Julie saw that "there will not remain any vestige of the Holy Sacrifice, no apparent trace of faith. CONFUSION will be everywhere ..." 


"All the works approved by the infallible Church will cease to exist as they are today for a time. In this sorrowful annihilation, brilliant signs will be manifested on earth. If because of the wickedness of men Holy Church will be in darkness, the Lord will also send darkness that will stop the wicked in their search of wickedness ..." 


THE CONSPIRACY TO INVENT THE "NEW MASS"


On November 27, 1902 and May 10, 1904, Our Lord and Our Lady announced the conspiracy to invent the "New Mass": "I give you a WARNING. The disciples who are not of My Gospel are now working hard to remake according to their ideas and under the influence of the enemy of souls a MASS that contains words that are ODIOUS in My sight. When the fatal hour arrives when the faith of my priests is put to the test, it will be (these texts) that will be celebrated in this SECOND period ... The FIRST period is (the one) of my priesthood which exists since Me. The SECOND is (the one) of the persecution when the ENEMIES of the Faith and of Holy Religion (will impose their formulas) in the book of the second celebration ... These infamous spirits are those who crucified Me and are awaiting the kingdom of THE NEW MESSIAH."


(Therefore, it is the Jews who are responsible for the new Mass; and in fact the formula of the Offertory of the new Mass is inspired on the Jewish Kabbala. Jean Bustorf, in his Synagoga Judaica, the 1661 edition, page 242, gives the following words: 


For the bread: "Benedictus Tu, Domine Deus noster, mundi domine qui panem nobis a terra produxisti." 
For the wine: "Benedictus Tu, Domine Deus noster, mundi domine qui vineae fructum creaveris." 


And Our Lord Adds: "Many of My holy priests will refuse this book sealed with the words of the abyss." Then sadly: "Unfortunately amongst them are those who will accept, it will be used."


When He speaks of "inserted sheets," in the "Book of the Second celebration," it seems Our Lord announces even the falsifications or personal wild innovations introduced in the liturgy by so many priests and of their own accord and without any permission from their superiors." 


We can legitimately wonder if Our Lord did not mean the second edition of the Constitution, "Missale Romanum," in which a page was inserted (surreptitiously? ...) and which (falsifies all the number of pages of this edition ...). A constitution which had three successive editions ... which is a unique occurrence in the Annals of the Church! ... And the French translation sent out from the Vatican Press falsifies the text, since the Latin text states that the new Roman Missal is "Permitted" in Latin ... whereas the local languages would be authorized only after the editions prepared at the Bishops' conferences had been approved by the Holy See. This French edition has: "We order that the prescriptions of this Constitution come into force..."


This is how things stand at the moment. And for the future, the consummation of sacrilegious abomination. 


Marie-Julie saw that "there will not remain any vestige of the Holy Sacrifice, no apparent trace of faith. Confusion will be everywhere."
THE THREE DAYS OF DARKNESS


 Marie-Julie announced the three days of darkness during which the infernal powers will be loosed and will execute all the enemies of God. "The crisis will explode suddenly; the punishments will be shared by all and will succeed one another without interruption ..." [January 4, 1884] "The three days of darkness will be on a THURSDAY, FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. Days of the Most Holy Sacrament, of the Cross and Our Lady ... three days less one night." 


"The earth will be covered in darkness", says Our Lady on 20th of September 1882, "AND HELL WILL BE LOOSED ON EARTH. Thunder and lightning will cause those who have no faith or trust in My Power, to die of fear." 


"During these three days of terrifying darkness, no windows must be opened, because no one will be able to see the earth and the terrible colour it will have in those days of punishment without dying at once ..."


"The sky will be on fire, the earth will split ... During these three days of darkness let the blessed candle be lighted everywhere, no other light will shine ..." 


"NO ONE OUTSIDE A SHELTER.. will survive. The earth will shake as at the judgment and fear will be great. Yes, We will listen to the prayers of your friends; NOT ONE WILL PERISH. We will need them to publish the glory of the Cross ..." [December 8, 1882] 


"THE CANDLES OF BLESSED WAX ALONE WILL GIVE LIGHT during this horrible darkness. ONE CANDLE alone will be enough for the duration of this night of hell ... In the homes of the wicked and blasphemers these candles will give NO LIGHT." 


"And Our Lady states: "Everything will shake except the piece of furniture on which the blessed candle is burning. This will not shake. You will all gather around with the crucifix and my blessed picture. This is what will keep away this terror." 


"During this darkness the devils and the wicked will take on THE MOST HIDEOUS SHAPES ... red clouds like blood will move across the sky. The crash of the thunder will shake the earth and sinister lightning will streak the heavens out of season. The earth will be shaken to its foundations. The sea will rise, its roaring waves will spread over the continent. .."


 "THE EARTH WILL BECOME LIKE A VAST CEMETERY. The bodies of the wicked and the just will cover the ground." 


"Three-quarters of the population of the globe will disappear. Half the population of France will be destroyed." 


OUR LADY OF THE LILIES


On Tuesday, the 23rd of June 1936, a young girl from Blain had brought Marie-Julie a lily that had been placed before the Blessed Sacrament at the parish church during the feast of Corpus Christi. This lily was placed in the arms of the big crowned statue of Our Lady of Lourdes which dominates the bedside of Marie-Julie and it remained there during the entire ecstasy. 


During the ecstasy, replying to a total offering of Marie-Julie in her name and the name of all her friends, Our Lady said: "As a reward, I have in my arms this beautiful white flower which recalls the most beautiful of my virtues ... scatter this spotless flower... Everyone take a small bit home, it is I myself you will carry away, the Queen of Lilies, the Queen of Peace, the Queen of Prodigies, the Queen of Miracles." 





Then, at the end of the ecstasy, at the last blessing, Our Lady said to Marie-Julie: "Give a small piece (of lily) to all my small children, it is the flower of Jesus, with a delicious scent blessed on earth ... There must be many lilies for Jesus." 


People present were under the impression that the lily placed in the arms of Our Lady of Lourdes during the ecstasy took on the same freshness as when it had just been cut. 


On Tuesday, the 2nd of February 1937, feast of the Purification of Our Lady, during her particular morning ecstasy, Marie-Julie thanked her for all the graces of protection in accidents, of preservation in accidents, and cures granted to people who had recourse to the fragments of the lily. Our Lady then confirmed her words of the preceding 23rd of June, when Our Lord interrupted her, saying: "Remember My Mother, that I had given My blessing before thine." Then Our Lady continued: "I blessed this lily after my Divine Son, it will do many marvels..." and she asked Marie-Julie to have her invoked under the title of Our Lady of the Lilies. 


Two days later, on the 4th of February, during the usual ecstasy, Our Lady said the following words: "Little friends, give me this title: Mother of Purity, Lily of Purity without Stain. Spread my love on earth by this Lily which has adored Jesus in the Holy Tabernacle, by this beautiful Lily where Jesus has placed His purest graces, the most glowing with love. I will give many graces, I will even work prodigies, I will give health back to the sick when they are touched by this beautiful Lily of Purity ..." "Oh, little children of the earth, come to my heart, invoke me as Our Lady of the Lilies, Mother of Power, Mother of Prodigies..."

Then, Marie-Julie said: "It does not surprise me, good Heavenly Mother, that a shower of graces overflowed from thy heart to fall on this Lily which thou hast watered with thy favors, this Lily, the white corollas of which thou distributes to encourage us to have recourse to thee, predisposing us (to trust) to tell us that this Lily will take us to Heaven, as it took the Most Holy Virgin with her beautiful virtues, to the Kingdom of her Divine Son, to love and adore Him eternally. Jesus has said many times: 'Mother, give thy graces to thy children on earth, I give Mine, I mingle them with thine, thine with Mine, is it not the same thing, so that it is two great blessings that flow on them from this blessed Lily; their eyes do not see them, but the eyes of the soul, their souls are not unaware'..." 


Blessings and promises were renewed on different occasions, notably on the 8th of April 1937, by the Blessed Virgin: "O, my little children, I bless you with all my heart, I bless you with the heart of Our Lady of Lilies."

On the lOth of June 1937, by Our Lord: "Little friends, I give your Lilies the same blessing that I gave those which protected you and which made you find the name so dear to My Gentle Mother of 'Our Lady of the Lilies,' distribute them ... I will work miracles, I will do extraordinary prodigies t for My chosen ones on earth ..." 


And, again, on the 18th of July 1939: "I bless the Lilies and give them My power to relieve poor suffering." 


During an ecstasy, Our Lord, having spoken of roses, violets, etc... that were presented during ecstasies, and which received blessings and graces, He added that nevertheless it was to the lily, as being her privileged flower, that Our Lady reserved her greatest benefits. 


The bulbs of the lilies that were in the small enclosure behind Marie-Julie's cottage were removed on her request on the 8th of December 1938. They were blessed by Our Lord, some during the ecstasy of the day, the others during the Way of the Cross the following day. 


Our Lord promised that the lilies of those bulbs would be blessed as soon as they appeared on earth and it would be enough to present the flowers on the petals before the Blessed Sacrament exposed to have the same blessings and privileges of the preceding ones and that in this way the devotion to Our Lady of the Lilies would be assured and continued after the death of Marie-Julie. 


PRAYER TO THE HOLY CROSS DURING THE GREAT DISASTERS


TO BE READ CAREFULLY
God never strikes without warning. He has sent us His Holy Mother who came and wept at La Salette, she was neither listened to nor believed. 


God will therefore punish without precedence the whole universe. Earlier on He had indicated to Marie-Julie, who had the stigmata and was held in high esteem by some bishops of Nantes, the natural and supernatural means of protecting ourselves. And to have blessed candles for the days of darkness. 


PRAYER TO THE HOLY CROSS DURING THE GREAT DISASTERS 


"I hail the, I venerate thee, I embrace thee, oh adorable Cross of my Savior. Protect us, keep us, save us. Jesus loved thee so much, by His example I love you. By thy holy image calm my fears, I only feel peace and confidence." 


Prayer to the Cross During Great Storms
O Crux Ave, spes unica "Et Verbum caro factum est." Oh Jesus, conqueror of death, save us. 


Words of Our Lord to Marie-Julie during an ecstasy: "A medal of my Divine Heart. A medal, traced on it My adorable Cross. You will dip in a glass of water these two images, made either of cardboard or metal. "You will drink this water that is twice blessed and twice purified. A single drop in your food, a tiny drop will be sufficient to keep away not just the scourge, but the scourges of My Justice.
