1873
January 6, 1873, Marie-Julie fell seriously ill.
February 15, she received Extreme Unction.
February 22, apparition of the Blessed Virgin occurred who announced her healing that would happen May 2.
March 14, the second apparition of the Mother of God occurred and asked her if she would accept the Wounds of her dear Son.
March 21, Marie-Julie declared: “I fell ecstatically on my bed of pain. The Blessed Virgin is there. Our Lord appears to me with His radiant wounds. 'I am coming, my dear child,' He told me, 'to bring you My adorable Wounds.' From each wound, a ray of light came out which struck my hands, my feet and my side.” (NOTE: the family witnessed miraculous light emanating from her stigmata as predicted.)
October 5, she received the Crown of Thorns.
November 25, she relates: “I saw Our Lord carrying His Cross on His left shoulder. I saw Blood flow from that torn shoulder.” At that time, Our Lord imprinted this sacred wound on Marie-Julie's shoulder.
December 6, she received the stigmata on the hands and feet.
1874
January 12, 1874, the stigmata appeared on Marie-Julie's wrists, to represent the cords that had bound those of the Saviour.
January 14, 1874 other stigmata on the ankles, legs and forearms as signs of the flogging.
February 20, stigmatic ring appeared on the ring finger of her right hand, a sign of her mystical betrothal. Marie-Julie becomes the bride of Christ.
December 7, 1875, the inscription "O Crux Ave" appears on her chest with a cross, plus other inscriptions and a flower (the lily).
Years Later
It was on Thursday, May 24, 1883, at 6 A.M. that the transformation of Marie-Julie's crown took place. She had been told that she would receive a prettier, brighter, intertwined crown with three diamonds on each lace. The Archangel who announced it said to her:
"My sister, I am Saint Raphael and it is I who will be the master of angelic song when this gift is made, in your cell, the King's palace."
At six in the morning, the old crown suddenly disappeared to make way for the new one. The transformation was immediate. At this moment, the family, the only witnesses, heard the music of the angels twice. The (visible stigmatic) stripes on the new crown made entirely of coagulated blood were smooth and ruddy like coral.
Unlike the other stigmata, that over her heart continued to develop. “On the left side,” said Dr. Imbert, “there are, behind and below the breast, three small bars one inch long, two lines wide, not parallel, very close together and formed of dry blackish blood ”
The Lord had revealed that the wound of the heart, at first small, would grow larger and penetrate more and more. This wound was photographed in 1936: and it was found to have grown and be six inches long. Marie-Julie asked that she be shut away. (I.e. hidden away? She didn't like the attentions).
Then it appeared to shrink. They photographed it again, in 1937 it was only seven centimetres. A cloth applied afterwards presented a bloody stain three centimetres in diameter.
Two of the main stigmatic inscriptions in Gothic letters on Marie-Julie's chest recalled her mission: “Deliverance for the Holy Father”, “Triumph of the Church”. The Marie Julie Jahenny Association also mentions other stigmatic writing that appeared on her breast over her heart at other or various times – and “IHS” An “M” interlaced with an “A” (for Ave Maria?) Also “Come, My Victim”.
