Sunday 1st May 1955
– Mimi: I am happy to begin the month consecrated to my Gentle Mother of heaven. I want to show Her my love, my gratitude by being faithful to the recitation of my rosary.
– Mimi: “My Gentle Mother of heaven, during this month, will You please help me correct my faults? Teach me to remain silent when I am tempted to speak uselessly or criticize. Give me patience, perseverance in prayer and in my resolution to overcome my faults. Like You, ô my Tender Mother, I want to love Jesus and serve God. My Gentle Mother of heaven, listen to the prayer of Your little girl who begs You to help her love, know and serve God.
Teach me to practice humility at all times. Help me to live continually united to God in perfect love. At Your example, ô my Gentle Mother of heaven, I want to love and serve God with a pure love, a free heart, detached from all human affections and all created things. I want to live forgotten in order to practice humility that is so dear to the heart of God. Give me a simple heart, charitable towards everyone.
Like You, I want to serve Him with love and fidelity especially in little things and in being faithful in accomplishing my daily task with an entire conformity to the Holy Will of God, submitting myself with love, confidence to His Infinite Love for me. In other words, my Gentle Mother of heaven, please give me Your spirit of holiness, tell me what I must do to correct my faults, my imperfections.
Grant me to recognize my miseries by reminding me that I am before God, a poor little girl ungrateful at times, weak in following You, indifferent in serving You, selfish by holding ontoYour love without giving anything in return. Poor miserable me!
Ô My Gentle Mother, it is with You that I share my sorrows. It is in Your motherly heart that I take refuge, You, the refuge of sinners. I beg You, increase my confidence, strengthen my faith, purify my love.
Ô Gentle Virgin Mary, if I turn to You, it is because I know that You are my Mother and that You cannot allow Your child to perish for she is constantly struggling to keep her soul intact. From the depths of my misery I am sending You a S.O.S. I am confident and certain that You will answer my needs.”
I presently throw myself with love, with confidence into Your motherly arms. I need to feel secure in Your Divine Arms and near to Your adorable heart. Help me! I don’t want to lose Your Gentle Jesus. Dangers are so great around me. Temptations so strong. But with You, I will be stronger, more courageous to continue my journey towards heaven where I wish to go and live with my God, my Beloved and with You, my Gentle Mother of heaven. It is inconceavable not to find all of you in heaven. I have loved all of you on earth and I am doing my best to love you more than ever.
When I think of this, all of Us together for eternity! My heart is filled with joy at the thought of heaven, my God, my All, my Hope, my Love, my Support. I love You. I don’t want to leave You. I am all Yours forever.”
Monday 2 May 1955
– Mimi: “Out of love for You and to submit to Your Holy Will, I will go to the hospital. If I listened to myself, I would very willingly stay at home. These treatments of my sinuses and throat are very painful for after these treatments I spend several hours without being able to move my head without experiencing sharp pain.
My Beloved, You created me in Your image and likeness. Like You, I want to live and die by accepting in all things the Holy Will of God.”
Tuesday 3 May 1955
– Mimi: “My Gentle Mother of heaven, teach me if You please to take each day a step closer to heaven. Give me Your hand. I want to advance in love and confidence towards God, my All.
For the month of May and to honor my Gentle Mother of heaven, I have prepared for Her a bouquet of white flowers near Her statue.
I am suffering a lot. I cannot always pray as I would like. However, I look at Her and tell Her that I love Her, that I want to imitate Her in Her humility, in her entire submission to the Holy Will of God.
How I would like to have Her pure heart to love God like Her. I ask Her for Her help and when temptations make me suffer too much, I look at Her as I weep. She is my Mother. I know that She sees me and hears me. A mother always understand the heart of her child for she understands the language of tears. She understands the language of joys. No one can understand all the love I have for my Heavenly Mother. I was looking at the statue saying:
– Mimi: “How beautiful You are, my Gentle Mother of heaven!”
− Mary: “My dear little girl! If you could see My beauty, My splendor when I am surrounded by souls in the state of grace. They are My decoration. I thank you for the bouquet of flowers in front of My statue. However, offer Me something more. Offer Me souls”.
Thursday 5 May 1955
− Mary: “Pray with Me! Do not leave Me! I need your love and you, My dear little one, need Mine”.
Friday 6 May 1955
– Mimi: I was so anxious to receive communion that I was awake at five thirty.
– Mimi: “My Beloved, You know how I hate going to the hospital but to show You my love, I will go anyhow. I offer You my whole day. You see that I am not doing my will.”
– Jesus: “My dear little one, I know very well that you are not doing your will by accepting everything out of love. You are doing the will of My Father. Ask your director to help you correct yourself, to break your little will. May he take every means possible. As for yourself, My dear little one, be submissive to him. You owe him obedience in all things, don’t forget. He is taking My place. Prepare yourself. There is still time.”
Saturday 7 May 1955
− Mary: “Ask your director to prepare you to make the vow of conformity to the Holy Will of God. Before, prepare yourself through prayer, sacrifice. Make a small retreat. Make a general review.”
My Gentle Mother of heaven has made a reproach I deserve because I was in doubt concerning the little interior voice.
− Mary: “My dear little one, I am sad because you are making My Son suffer by doubting His voice. If you only believed in Our love for you!”
Visit at the hospital: painful examination.
– Mimi: I offered everything in atonement for my sins. A little friend in the hospital has passed away. It is the second friend that God has claimed in the last four months. I have many trials. How many good moments we had together as we spoke about our Heavenly Mother and our time on earth.
Upon my arrival at the hospital, I had a lot of affection for her telling myself that she was suffering more than I. One day as she was in a lot of pain, I had permission to get up and keep her company for an hour. How happy she was. She wept for joy to have someone near her. With God’s help, I succeeded in making her laugh. I was happy to hear her laugh. She seemed to suffer less. One day, she asked me: “Will you promise me to pray for me? Tell me you will pray for me. My sufferings are too great. I don’t have the strength. I don’t want to get discouraged. Can I be your friend?”
– Mimi: “Listen closely!... not only do I want you to be my little friend, but I want to love you like a little sister. You know what, J… when I see someone suffer, I love her more than others. And since you are suffering a lot morally, have no fear, you know that I love you and that I want to help you. So J… pray for me also. I need it.
− My Beloved, receive the soul of J… Please give her the reward she deserves. She suffered so much. You know that she did her best to accept everything with love and entire resignation to Your Holy Will.”
Sunday 15 May 1955
– Mimi: I had just finished preparing a meal when suddenly an inspiration told me:
“Leave all this and go to Him.”
So, I obeyed, knelt down and He told me:
– Jesus: “Kneel on both knees, prostrate yourself before Me and speak to Me.”
– Mimi: At that moment, I felt a great sorrow for having offended Him. I kissed His feet thanking Him for graces received, for His patience, His love. I asked forgiveness for my sins, forgiveness for the sins of the whole world.
Monday 16 May 1955
– Mimi: “I was looking at the leaves of a tree. I was telling myself that a month ago, this same tree was without leaves and now it was full of beautiful leaves of many colors and sizes. How good is my Creator! Why does He do this for a tree without a soul? I know that He created a tree for man’s use and even to be a shelter for little birds. How good and powerful is God.
– Mimi: “I adore You and love You. Everything in nature speaks to me of You, ô Infinite Goodness!
– Mimi: I was meditating.
– Mimi: With what care He accomplishes so many things, for only a simple tree. What marvels He can accomplish in a soul that receives His love, in a submissive soul that expects everything from Him with confidence. His love is so great that He gives His all. He is willing to share with us His eternal happiness for eternity. I must remember that I have an immortal soul.
– Jesus: “My dear little one, you are simply meditating before a tree. Look at nature in its entirety. Look at a human being. If you could see the obscure work in souls. Yes, my dear little one, look closely at this tree. Is there an architect who could draw up a plan to give trees such a form and variety? And what contractor would accept the contract of mounting branch after branch and placing on it each leaf at each season? What patience it would take each year and I, the Supreme Being, how long have I been doing this beautiful work? No one even takes the time to stop and look.”
Think of the millions of trees in forests. Everything in nature claims My aid, My power. And what does the human being do? He takes advantage of everything. I am not important to him. They want to live as if they will never die. This saddens Me a lot. They no longer want Me in their lives, I, the Creator, their God, Master of heaven and earth.”
Ô ungrateful people whom I loved and for whom I gave up my life, people young and old. I am always receiving the same contempt, the same ingratitude. My dear little one, do you understand My love and why I am suffering? It consoles Me to find a compassionate heart with whom I can share my thoughts. The work that I accomplish in nature overwhelms your eyes, but if you could see the splendor of a soul in the state of grace, if you knew all the obscure work I accomplish in souls humble and submissive, in souls filled with love. Like in nature, these souls expect everything from Me. Only the souls humble and submissive draw My attention as I attempt to grow in their souls virtues of love, charity and total self-denial. They will be able, in the future, blossom into perfect purity now and for eternity.”
