Ecstasy
date July 16, 1901
Our
Lady "My children, what power (is) the Holy Sacrifice of
the Mass. It is not until (you are in) Heaven that you penetrate the
immense efficacy of this prodigious power, of happiness, of wonder
and of deliverance."
(Note:
the “Friends of Marie-Julie Jahenny Website” brings to our
attention that Marie-Julie asked the favour to attend all Masses
until the end of the world...while she could not be granted this in
life, now that she is in Heaven, perhaps she was been given this
grace after death and attends all Masses along with the other angels
and saints?)
Marie-Julie
Jahenny: "I want to suffer until the End of the world. I want
to attend all Masses until the end of the world."
