Saturday 3 April 1954
– Mimi: “My Beloved, help me, please. I spat a few drops of blood. I am suffering a lot but I will remain silent about this.”
– Jesus: “My dear little one, don’t worry!| It is not a sign of the end. Prepare yourself.”
– Mimi: I had begun a small retreat. The devil said:
– Satan: “Why make a general review of your life? Why disturb your director, he is very busy?”
Tuesday 6 April 1954
– Mimi: “I was feeling weak and the devil wanted to take advantage, to discourage me. I went to see my director to tell him about my doubts and temptations. He advised me to go to You fully confident… Here I am, my Beloved.”
– Jesus: “My dear little one, come close to Me with confidence and love. I want more… With the permission of your director, mortify your body in order to better understand what I endured out of love for you. In your examination of conscience, do not look so much for the number of sins. I know them. Look rather for the lack of confidence in My Merciful Love.”
– Mimi: “With the permission of my director, I offer You what You asked. Help me! How weak is human nature! Poor human nature! Give me the strength to accomplish Your Holy Will. How slow I am in mortifying my body and so prompt to flatter this same body that some day will turn to dust.”
Thursday 8 April 1954
− Mimi: “Thank You, my Beloved, for the grace I received today. With the permission of my director, I was able to make a general review of my life, my poor life. I came to you with the repentance of Mary Magdelene, with her love, her confidence.
I had asked my Gentle Mother of heaven to be near me, to give me Her hand. I also asked the Holy Spirit to enlighten me, to uphold me. Yes, my Beloved, I finally understood what you must have suffered because of me but especially my lack of confidence, after all You did for me, after so many signs of Your love.
I ask Your forgiveness, my Love. I regret everything. Yes, I want to atone, to prove to You my love, my repentance. I offer myself to You forever and out of love, I want to follow You, to walk at Your side, in order to become, some day, Your little spouse, Your little host of love that You will immolate as You please. I also accept to share Your sufferings endured during Your Passion.
My Beloved, increase many spiritual graces for my director. He is doing a lot for my soul. If I am now able to lift up my eyes towards You, I owe it to him. Like him, I want to do a lot of good. I want to save souls and I count on Our team work. I hope in You for everything. I expect everything from Your divine hand, Your goodness, Your omnipotence, Your love. Without You I can do nothing. With You I can do anything.”
Friday 9 April 1954
I was in the shed working. He often speaks to me in this place.
– Mimi: “My Beloved, why do You speak to me so often in this place. It doesn’t seem suitable to You, my Beloved?”
− Jesus: “My dear little one, didn’t I choose a stable in which to be born and to manifest my love? Don’t I have the right to choose the shed to give birth to My love within you, to speak to you without any witnesses? Solitude pleases Me so much?”
– Mimi: “My Beloved, another struggle! Help me please! I am suffering! The devil doesn’t stop saying:
− Satan: “You try telling Him each day that you love Him, that you accept in all things His Holy Will, that you carry your cross each day with resignation and love. In doing so, you are only increasing your sinfulness for you know very well that it is the contrary. You only have to look at your life to convince yourself.”
− Jesus: “My poor little one, I am always there, anyway. I am within you. By all means do not doubt My presence in you. Why complain? You are not the only one to suffer! For the last three days, your director also has been suffering. He is experiencing a terrible trial. Help him with your prayers and sacrifices. Share with him Our encounter. It is through suffering that I embrace My friends. He is one of them.
I allow this so that Our team work may be complete. He must offer up and work, you must suffer and pray, and I take care of the rest.
Think about the salvation of souls. They cost dearly. How many are lost each day! This is why I ask your help in saving souls, to complete My passion at the price of your very lives.”
− Mimi: “I shared with my director Our encounter. I was uncomfortable for I thought I was committing an indiscretion concerning his trials. But he reassured me saying: “To be sure, I am undergoing a great trial” and repeating the same words that You said: “You see! You are not the only one suffering. I also have my share!” I was so moved that I couldn’t reply. This isn’t the first time that he says the same words as You.”
Saturday 10 April 1954
– Mimi: Great temptation against faith! I am suffering a lot! The devil wants to discourage me. I waited one hour before going to confession. There were many people. The devil wanted me to leave. He said: “Leave room to others. Be charitable!” or again: “My sacrament of penance is not for you. My mercy has limits and the confession you intend to make is void.”
− Mimi: “My Beloved! I trust in You! Please help me!”
– Jesus: “My poor little one. Go see your director. Tell him everything. I know what you are suffering. Offer these temptations in atonement for your sins and for merit. Pray for the souls who are waiting to make their confession so that they may make a good confession. Through your physical sufferings, you will give strength and patience to the confessor. Help your director through your prayers. He is very tired. He is suffering. Do not forsake him in his work. Don’t forget the team work for souls.”
− Mimi: “Thank You, my Beloved! Thank You, my Gentle Mother of heaven! I finally went to confession to my director. How he understands the state of my soul! He encourages me to go and take refuge in You. Here I am, my Beloved. Accept my good will and my little sacrifices for souls.
How I would like to work more and with more love for souls. Following the example of my director and upon his advice that I want to put into practice, I want to atone and save souls in order to offer them to You.
I went to 5 o’clock mass and received communion. I was so happy to receive You. I need You badly. Without You I can do nothing. Help me! It is near You that I restore my strength.”
Sunday 11 April 1954
– Mimi: “Good morning, my Beloved. I am Yours. I offer myself today to work with You for the salvation of souls.”
I wanted to write more but I had to babysit 4 little ones. I was happy to do Your Holy Will. After their departure, I was able to make a holy hour.”
Monday 12 April 1954 – Holy Week
− Mimi: “I went to church to attend Mass but because of a misunderstanding I did not receive communion. How sad I was! I was so looking forward to receiving You.”
– Jesus: “My dear little one, think of the sorrow I experience when I am there waiting and you do not come.”
− Mimi: “While ironing, I was listening on the radio to the french version of the Seven Last Words of Christ. How the devil takes advantage to put doubts in my soul! My Beloved, where are You?
My Gentle Mother of heaven, keep me close to Your motherly heart! Protect Your child in need.”
− Mary: “My little one! Think about souls…”
Wednesday 14 April 1954
– Mimi: After going to confession to my director, I did my penance. I wanted to leave for I had work to do.
– Jesus: “My dear little one, stay near Me a little longer. Pray for poor sinners. Isn’t it marvellous? It isn’t often that We are able to work all three of us in the same place. I, in the Tabernacle, I wait. In the confessional, your director is working and offers Me souls. You, in the church between Us, you are suffering and praying for all these souls to save as many as possible.
– Mimi: “How Our little team must please God! To glorify God I want to work even more. With permission from my director, I will begin to do what You ask of me for souls. I must save as many souls as possible. I lost so many of them in the past. I want to repair. I want to console You to help You forget all my indifference of the past and my daily omissions.”
Holy Thursday 15 April 1954
− Mimi: “5 o’clock. I am at Your disposal. I want to work with You and please You.
At church, I was watching my director distribute Holy Communion. He made me think of the Good Shepherd feeding his sheep. How strong he is after so much fatigue! His example gives me courage. I want to work all the more for souls.
Visit to the monstrance altar.
− Mimi: “My Beloved, I prostrate myself before You to give You thanks and all the homage You deserve… You, Master of heaven and earth, my God and my All. I want to adore You like the angels in heaven, pray to You like the Saints.
Help me, my Gentle Mother of heaven, to love God and remain faithful to Him.”
Good Friday 16 April 1954
– Mimi: A memorable day for me.
– Mimi: “My Beloved, I would like to offer You what You ask of me, but circumstances oblige me to take other means. Finally, I am sharing the 6th wound of Your left shoulder. I often ask myself why You carried Your cross for a longer time on Your left shoulder?”
− Jesus: “My dear little one, I carried My cross for a longer time on my left shoulder because, in spite of My sufferings, I wanted to free my right hand in order to bless one more time My people whom I loved so much. Do you recognize in this gesture My love for souls? My dear little one, show Me your love by accepting everything. Prostrate yourself before My cross and remain in this position while making the way of the cross for I want to share with you My sufferings.”
– Mimi: “My Beloved, what more do You want me to do?”
– Jesus: “My little one, take your crucifix, place it near your elbow and press hard. Keep it there until the end of your way of the cross. I will do the rest.”
– Mimi: All of a sudden, I saw the Holy Shroud, but there was like a veil that covered its face. I could not distinguish clearly the features. This barely lasted a few seconds, but, during the way of the cross, this happened several times.
− Mimi: “I don’t know whether it is my imagination, but all that I know is that I will keep hidden in my heart, Your gentle veiled features, as a treasure, as my only support, my consolation, my strength, ô Adorable Face of my Beloved. I love You.”
Then there were physical sufferings. Every part of my body was affected.
− Mimi: “My God, please help me! The pain is increasing more and more and all my limbs are trembling. I don’t know what is happening. I am frightened and I am weeping. I can’t take any more.”
– Jesus: “My dear little one, don’t leave Me. Keep looking at Me. Your sufferings are nothing compared to what I endured out of love for you during My Passion and think about this out of love.
I can tell you that I died of love. This is why I was telling you the other day that in accepting to become My spouse, you would have a lot to suffer. You will experience like Myself total abandonment, and will die a victim of My love. I know very well that you do not understand everything, that you do not understand the importance of My words. This is why My Beloved Mother will protect you in a special way and will keep you under Her protection.
She knows my plans for you, My dear little one, so weak and so little. Yes, my dear little one, later, much later, you will understand everything. But for now, trust Me, follow Me in My passion, carry with love your daily cross to please Me and to glorify My Father.
At this moment, I offer you with Myself to My Father, for you are taking part in My sufferings with love and entire submission to My will. I know that you have been faithful in following Me especially during this week. I helped you, for, by yourself, you are capable of nothing. I knew you were weak. I often placed you on My shoulder as My little wounded lamb. I didn’t want to lose you, for you are so frail.Your poor human nature is still there. If I had not helped you, you would have fled long ago. It is My love that sustains you. You felt it this afternoon.”
− Mimi: One hour of prostration. My limbs are numb. I am suffering. The least little movement I make causes me pain. The pain on my left shoulder makes me suffer more.
− Mimi: “It isn’t much compared to Your Blood shed out of love for souls. I unite my sufferings to Yours for the salvation of souls. I accept to do Your Holy Will and I am happy to do so for, I repeat, I wish some day to become Your little host of love that You will immolate each day.”
– Jesus: “My little one, go see your director and tell him everything. Why be reticent with him. This wounds Me greatly, for it is I who chose him for you so that he may guide you in the mission I want to entrust you. Tell him everything!”
− Mimi: “I had already bought a ring. I was waiting for the day when He would tell me to have it blessed and to wear it as a sign of Our union. I was reticent to talk about it.”
– Jesus: “My poor little one, why are you so shy with him? Be careful lest this shyness turn into pride! Be humble and transparent with him. Speak to him with confidence. Tell him everything. If everything that is happening to you came from you, you would have reason to fear being discovered. But, on the contrary, if it is I who am working in you and inspiring you, why should you be afraid? Am I not the Truth? My little one, make an act of humility. Go to your director and tell him everything.
I want him to bless this ring in My name in memory of Our union of this afternoon: union first of all of love in suffering, of love of God for His little creature, of the union of two hearts with the same ideal: souls. The union of two hearts filled with love for one another and from now on who will be one.”
– Mimi: “My Beloved, my happiness is so great! I shall never forget this beautiful day. I shared our encounter with my director and with his permission I shall do as You wish.
I have been desiring this union for a long time, my Love. I, so little, so imperfect, full of misery! You wish to make me Your little spouse! How great is Your mercy and Your love is immense for poor souls, especially like mine. I can refuse You nothing. I cannot resist Your call. Ô infinite Love, my unique hope, my happiness is so great! Your caresses are so soft! Only Divine Love can give the soul such joy, in spite of sufferings. Thank You, Thank You my Beloved.
My director has blessed my ring in Your name. In accepting this ring, I become Your little spouse. From this moment, I accept with love Your Holy Will. I accept to follow You on the road of suffering. With You, I wish to carry my cross each day, with an entire submission to the will of God.
I accept what You expect from me on this earth and later in heaven, for I am confident that Our union will be completed in heaven for eternity where I will never leave You. How anxious I am to see You in all Your glory to adore You, to show You my love, to cover Your forehead with kisses. When will this day arrive? I miss You so when I am far from You. When will You come and get Your little spouse? Time seems to stand still! However, I submit myself to Your Holy Will. I no longer want to waste the time you give me to atone, to purify myself, to merit. Yes, I want to save as many souls as possible in order to offer them to You. To do this, I need You, Your help. I want to accomplish my team work properly in order to reach my goal.”
− Jesus: “My dear little one, you will endure criticism, questions of all kinds, even slander, calumnies concerning this blessed ring you are wearing. Don’t let this discourage you. You will be tempted to remove it, perhaps. When this day arrives, remember Our union, Our commitment before My Father. Remember Good Friday during which you are so happy to become My little spouse. This is why I want you to wear this ring for the greatest benefit of your soul. You will be reminded of your duty as the spouse of Christ, your vow, your mission. I want you to be all Mine. I beg you, in atonement for your sins and to please Me, remain silent before all the questions we will ask you concerning this ring you are wearing. Our union must remain hidden from the world except your director. Tell Me you will remain faithful to your promise. Give Me a proof of your love by keeping silent. Ask My Beloved Mother to help you.”
− Mimi: “My Gentle Mother of heaven, teach me to remain silent, in reverence. Help me keep secret Our union. Teach me to remain humble and submissive to God in all things. Yes, I want to keep my Beloved Spouse hidden in me. I will keep Him as a Treasure.”
Holy Saturday 17 April 1954
− Mimi: “My Beloved, I need You.”
I was sad and I asked Him: Why is Your adorable face veiled?”
− Jesus: “My little one, the veil that covers My features are your sins, your imperfections, your lack of trust.”
− Mimi: For Easter, I would like to wear my straw hat. It’s such a beautiful day.
− Jesus: “No, My dear little one! I do not want you to.”
− Mimi: “But Lord my God, there is no harm done.”
− Jesus: “I know very well that there is no harm done, but it pleases your vanity. Offer me this sacrifice in atonement for your sins of vanity, pride. Think of My adornment of Good Friday! Think of my crown of thorns!”
− Mimi: I was looking at taffy. How anxious I am to eat some at Easter.
− Jesus: “No, My little one! Offer Me this sacrifrice. Do not take any sweets, especially chocolate. Offer this to Me to atone for your gluttony.
How many people celebrate this Feast of My Resurrection by committing excesses of all kinds, under the pretext that Lent is over. How many think of thanking Me for saving them and opening the gates of heaven? Remember yesterday Our union. Isn’t it first of all a union of love and suffering?”
− Mimi: “My Beloved, do You want to please me? Allow, if it is Your Holy Will, my director, tomorrow, to say mass in a small chapel. I would like to celebrate this beautiful event together.”
I had removed my ring. I was afraid of being questioned.
– Jesus: “My little one, why do you not wear your ring that is blessed? Are you really My spouse? Why are you afraid of criticisms? Remember you, yourself, are often critical for nothing!
My little one, to all questions and criticisms, answer with silence. Offer this to make amends for your criticisms, slander and calomnies. Think about My silence in the presence of your sins. Think of My silence before Pilate! I want you totally pure, beautiful. This is why I ask of you a lot to purify your past, your present. Don’t forget what you have accepted in becoming My spouse. Now that you have given yourself to Me and that I am yours, let us work together for souls, for the glory of My Father.”
18 April 1954. Easter
– Mimi: “My Father, let us give thanks together for my resurrection in following the right way. It is to you that I owe this great happiness, besides many others. I hope that your heart as a priest will be appeased at the thought that I do not ever want to leave Him, and always accept His Holy Will. Now that I have placed myself into His divine arms, nothing else matters.”
This morning, during Holy Mass, He made me understand the importance of suffering and the necessity of the cross in my life.
– Jesus: “Do not forget, My dear little spouse that Our union is first of all a union of love through suffering and an entire submission to the Holy Will of My Father.”
– Mimi: “Ô my God! I thank You for fulfilling the wishes of Your child. For the last four years, I have been constantly working with my director towards the realization of my ideal, that of saving souls with You. This is why I cannot refuse You anything after so many signs of love. Since I am never satisfied, I had been looking forward to Our union for a long time. Now, more than ever! Now, my desire is even greater: to possess You for all eternity! To see You face to face! To adore You, pray and give thanks to You for so much love.”
– Jesus: “My dear little one, if you only knew the extent of My love for you. Why be shy with Me? You call Me your Beloved. Am I not more to you since Good Friday? Think about Our union. From now on, when you want to please Me, call Me your Beloved Spouse.
My dear little one, I want to tell you a secret. This morning, I showed Myself to your director by giving him a visible sign of My love for him.”
Easter Sunday 18 April 1954
– Mimi: “How Divine Love is transforming my soul! In the past, I once was near a friend and my heart was pounding in his presence. Now, my Beloved Spouse, in Your presence, not only is my heart beating fast but it seems to be growing in size. Only Divine Love can do such a thing and give joy, happiness, peace and security even in suffering. Now that You are all mine as my Spouse, I am always anxious to talk to You, to pray and consult You about Our projects, to show You my love.
Since I know that We are working together, I do my best to do my work well, to keep my soul in order, to please You, and to be agreeable to God. As a little mother, I think about and pray for my children (souls). I always want to be submitted to Your Holy Will for the greater glory of God. I am so happy! I can’t stop thanking You! I give thanks to God the Father for being so good to me.
Ô Holy Spirit, enlighten me! I need Your enlightenment to know my God.
My Gentle Mother of heaven, obtain for me the gift of love for Your Gentle Jesus, for the Blessed Trinity! I want to love so much more. I wish to know You better in order to serve and love You better. I want to live only for Him.
Monday 19 April 1954
– Mimi: My duty obliges me to go shopping.
– Mimi: “My Beloved, I am taking You with me shopping.
He doesn’t leave me in spite of the crowd. I am thinking of Him.
– Mimi: “I offer You acts of love for each person present; acts of perfect contrition for souls in need.”
Friday 23 April 1954
– Mimi: I removed my ring for I was afraid of questions and criticism from certain members of my family.
– Jesus: “My poor little one, what would you say if, at the moment of your death, I were afraid of questions and criticisms concerning Our union? My dear little one, do you think that if you remained faithful to Me, I will blush when I will present you to My Father as my spouse before My Heavenly Court? You offend Me a lot by acting this way. Think a little, My dear little one, when I chose you as my spouse, was I ashamed of you? Yet, I would have had reason to be, for you know what you were!
In My infinite mercy and My love for you, I closed my eyes and opened My heart to you. My dear little one, promise Me never to remove this blessed ring. Remind yourself of your commitment, of My love for you.
My dear little spouse, to repair this fault, kiss often with respect this blessed ring. Think about Our union of love and suffering.”
– Mimi: “I recognize, My Beloved, that I was weak and in doing this, I was like Saint Peter. I have been Your spouse for such a short time and I was already beginning to abandon You, to forget Our promise. How guilty I feel!
I sincerely ask Your forgiveness and promise You to wear this blessed ring in spite of all obstacles. And when I will appear before You as a spouse, You will see that my hands are empty, for I shall have given away everything. But there will always be this blessed ring that will be the sign of my fidelity, my infinite love, ô my God. I ask Your forgiveness and give You a gentle kiss to help You forget my weakness in Your service.”
Saturday 24 April 1954
– Mimi: I had such a headache! I could hardly open my eyes. My sight was leaving me.
– Mimi: “My Beloved! How I would like to see the stations of the cross more clearly.”
– Jesus: “My dear little one, don’t be sad! Some day, you will contemplate Me. You will see Me in all My splendor. Offer Me this. My gaze was once veiled by blood, sin, your sins. Look at Me for now with the eyes of faith. I will be satisfied. My poor little one, know that I love you.”
Sunday 25 April 1954
Children’s confirmation.
– Mimi: “My Gentle Mother of heaven, it is near You that I weep as I think about all the sorrow I caused You. When I presented myself to receive this beautiful sacrament, I can still see myself. How my little soul was troubled! I am suffering too much! I need to cry! It is near Your Motherly heart that I take refuge to tell You all about my sadness, my sorrow, my repentance.”
– Mary: “My dear little one, don’t hesitate to cry in My arms. A mother always understands the heart of her child, especially when she is suffering. Each tear is like a precious pearl you place in My hands. I accept all of them and place them at the feet of God. What beautiful gems! These tears have become precious pearls by the grace of God. Pearls of love, of repentance, of forgiveness, of confidence.
Remember Good Friday when you accepted to become the spouse of My Beloved Son, when you accepted to offer yourself with Him to God the Father to accomplish His Holy Will in all things. Be consoled, for on this beautiful day, We considered the sincerity of your heart and all the love it had for Us. You could not give us a better sign of your love, your repentance, your confidence. What joy for My Motherly heart to Her child once again back among Us as on the day of her baptism.
How happy We were! This happiness is renewed each time you offer yourself with My Son to God. Each time you accept to follow Him on the road of His Passion. Each time that you humble yourself before Us, in front of your neighbor. Each time that you atone for your daily failures by acts of love, of contrition. Each time that you thank Us for all that We are doing for you. My happiness is great when I see you determined to reach your ideal in saving your brothers who are My children. How happy I am to see you each day at My feet honoring Me by reciting your rosary. Do not give up for you will obtain much. Remain faithful to Me, My little girl. Yes, little one. Remain little more and more, for it is easier for Me to hold you in My arms.”
Tuesday 27 April 1954
– Jesus: “My dear little one, why do you listen to the suggestions of the devil? I know more than you that you are not worthy of receiving communion. It is precisely because your soul is sick that you need a salutary remedy. You are in doubt? Come to Me! I am the Light. You are weak? Come to Me! I am your Strength! You are poor in virtue? Come to Me! I am Rich. I am the King of heaven and earth. Your soul needs a guaranteed refuge. Come into My heart! You need forgiveness? Come to Me! I am Infinite Mercy. You feel lonely? Come to Me in My sacrament of love. I will fulfill your desires. I am Goodness. My dear little one, remove from your life the “self” in you. I want you to be so humble. We are two from now on. Without Me, you are nothing.”
– Mimi: “My Beloved, it is true that without You, I am nothing. I need something solid and lasting and it is in You that I will take refuge. In this Heart full of love. I had certain regrets, doubts concerning my vocation. I can’t understand it. There have been so many new things in my life, especially in the last 5 years.”
– Jesus: “My dear little one, you don’t understand spiritual life because you are too withdrawn into yourself. You don’t understand My love because of the human element in you. You must die to all these things. You have become My spouse. Am I not the one who chose you? What more do you want? Isn’t it a beautiful vocation? To be the spouse of Christ?”
