#179 Our Lady Calls for Sacrifices – Evil Will Become Worse and God will be Forced to Increase the Punishments – Sacrifices Appease His Justice and Lessens the Punishments – Honouring Our Lady Consoles the Heart of Jesus – Abandonment to the Divine Will is Better than Desiring Heaven




Ecstasy date August 14, 1928


The Blessed Virgin: “The Divine Heart needs victims of sacrifice, of expiation, there is a need for them everywhere. It is the sacrifice in souls, in the hearts, in the body, in the affections and in the Holy Love which loves souls, love that I love so much!”

Marie-Julie Jahenny: “Good Mother, still, relieve so much suffering!"

The Blessed Virgin: “My little children, at this moment and in increasing it will be planted everywhere. There must be suffering, there must be abandoned souls (i.e., who abandon themselves to the Will of God and accept suffering), wounded hearts are needed, there is a need for victims for the Divine punishment, (so that) the just chastisement of the Divine Justice of God does not increase!

The evil will become worse, the crimes will accumulate and the Justice of the Lord in many ways, will more noticeably affect the earth. For this justice not to increase, it is suffering, works, prayers, sacrifices, immolations, works, many works.

My beloved little children, let yourselves be guided by the Divine Will where are all the lights and the right ways that please the Divine Creator of all things. "

Marie-Julie: “Thank you, dear Mother. "

The Blessed Virgin: “And tomorrow, I will listen to your praises, Heaven will answer you, I will hear your prayers, Heaven will bless you, I will listen to your sighs and the Divine Heart will look into your soul and say:

'I am consoled in the glory that you give to My Holy Mother.' ”

Ecstasy Date August 23, 1928 - Surrendering to the Holy Will of God is better than Desiring Heaven


Blessed Virgin: - To surrender to the Holy Will is better than the desire for Heaven. By this abandonment, you amass much and your riches will be eternal. Continue, O souls, still a little suffering in the will is what the heavenly Bridegroom wants for Himself, to compensate, to repair, to soften the many outrages that tear It (i.e His Will). Surrender to the Holy Will. Remain in it, suffer in it, hope in it and you will fall asleep in it. (i.e., pass from this life in God's Will.) As long as you have a lowly body, you will suffer, but it is a very short hour. Your suffering is of great value for the salvation of souls.”

#77 St. Marcellin - Details of his Martyrdom - Sacrifical Suffering witholds God's Justice from Striking



Ecstasy of September 12, 1878

I am Saint Marcellin, who lived among the heretics. I was persecuted for refusing to apostatize my Faith ... I was among those who had a passionate love for Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. This love was my strength, my consolation, my sublime happiness.

I had a thought that urged me strongly to go among this heretic people, although I did not rush forth to engage in any order, neither of heaven nor earth. This thought was always pressing me and my desire grew to go carry the name of God to these infidel people. So I went there voluntarily, having in myself the One who strengthens me. This was my last meal at the Banquet of Love.

Upon arriving, among this people, I was taken first to the chief of the heretics. Unknown, I knocked and he opened. I approached this robust man, proud of himself and he saluted, genuflecting to earth. He got up and said,

"Are you one of the impostors of the One who wants to destroy our religion?"

I replied proudly: "I am a Christian, child of God by baptism."

He then asked me: "Do you eat the food that they say (is) God?"

I said, "I (am) nourished by the God of the Cross and the Eucharist."

He raised his hand over me and said, "You are then one of the associates of the One whom they call the Christ, King of the World?”

I said, "I am, and I am proud of it."

Then he cursed me, pushed me roughly outside his palace and ordered guards to bind and chain me. At the same time, I searched and found the cross with which I lived. It was enough. The order was a gift born to kill me. (A rough translation from the French that is probably an expression, i.e. that it was a special gift to die in this manner.) I was abused, insulted, robbed, dragged, overwhelmed. I asked the king to grant that I may die the next day, so that, one last time, I (could) receive the Bread of the Strong. But they soon laid me on a rack of iron and I was pressed by springs so terribly that my pains were incredible. The next day I received the palm of martyrdom, I was first extended on the rack, then thrown on a burning pile. This is how I was slain by sacrilegious hands. The king ordered them to open my chest, (not a box or a tabernacle, the text seems to imply his actual breast), to find the God of my soul, to trample Him underfoot, to crucify Him, to dishonour Him. Then I was left several days next to a river and I from there was thrown down. (A ravine? A waterfall? This part is not made clear.) But soon a strange (I.e foreign) woman came to take my body to give it burial, and I was transported to a blessed cemetery.


I have, at present, a word to say on behalf of Our Lord. Dear brothers in the Lord and His Holy Cross, you suffer right now, but will a time not much farther away give and spread again the greatest sufferings? (This expression seems to say; After death, will you still continue to suffer? No …) Therefore suffer the joy of going closer to God each day. You who are suffering right now, for the God we all worship, be confident that, well accepted by your suffering, you withhold justice from the Lord for all your brothers who dishonour Him and blaspheme Him ... At this moment, you need to be attached to God more than ever before and detach yourself from everything else that God despises ...


Today is the time to be stoned, crucified, trampled upon, covered with filth to the eyes of the world. That is the mantle now worn by the children of God. But God does not regard you in the same way as the world. You are brilliant in the eyes of God. What happiness! I envy your fate! I want to live with you! I will pray for you at the Throne of eternal glory of our Father.

CORRECTION / ADDITION to the notes in “We Are Warned: The Prophecies of Marie-Julie Jahenny” for St. Marcellinus:

The “Friends of Marie Julie / Sanctuary Website” were correct in assuming this was not Marcellinus the Pope as popes who visited Marie-Julie would inform her of this, so they thought this saint must be the martyr mentioned in the canon of the Mass, who died with St. Peter an exorcist, however, they may have been mistaken.

Marcellinus in the vision mentions a desire to convert heretics and apostates, reveals his persecutors attempting to make him apostatize from the Faith, and he also speaks of his great love for the Blessed Sacrament. This could be St. Marcellinus of Carthage who defended the Catholic Faith against the Donatist heretics. The Donatists claimed that the validity of the sacraments depended on the moral character of the minister, and that sinners could not be members of the Church, and could not be tolerated by a true Church unless their sins were secret. These teachings certainly undermined belief in the power of Transubstantiation and endangered belief in the existence of the Blessed Sacrament, which they aught depended on the worthiness of the priest. The sect came into existence in Africa during the disorders following the persecution under Diocletian (303–305AD).   The date of this ecstasy also took place a day before his death, which occurred on 13th of September. His traditional feast day was April 6, and now changed to September 13th. Considering he corresponded with St. Jerome, was a friend of the great theologian St. Augustine, who dedicated his work “The City of God” to him, and that many theologians and doctors of the Church came to Marie-Julie when teaching her about the treasury contained in suffering the Cross, this is convincing evidence of the correct identity of the visiting saint.


However, Marcellin in the ecstasy gives an account he was left by a river for days, and then his body was thrown down unlike the history of Marcellinus of Carthage who was beheaded. Strangely, this death by a river resembles the death of St. Marcellus of Chalon-sur-Saône, a priest who was martyred c. 178 AD. St. Marcellus was a priest of Lyon who was imprisoned by the Roman government along with other Christians of Lyon and their bishop, Pothinus, ca. 177 in the reign of Marcus Aurelius (161-180). The rest of his Christian companions were executed, but Marcellus, managed to escape prison and fled north along the Saône river, first to Tournus and then to Chalon. There he was sheltered by a pagan, whom he converted to Christianity. Leaving Chalon, Marcellus encountered the provincial governor, who invited him to a celebration in his residence. When the governor began the celebration with an appropriate sacrifice, Marcellus excused himself on the grounds that he was a Christian; the governor ordered him to participate in the sacrifice, and Marcellus refused. The governor is said to have had Marcellus buried up to his waist on the bank of the Saône, where he died three days later. The difference here is this saint was among pagans, while Marcellin in the ecstasy says he went to convert heretics.


So, this could be St. Marcellinus of Carthage, or perhaps St. Marcellus of Chalon-sur-Saône. We will have to wait for a thorough examination of the original text to see if anything might have been left out in the publication that might help clear up this mystery.
