Again,
various quotations from various ecstasies featuring revelations about
the future Sanctuary of the Cross that will be constructed on the
site of Marie-Julie Jahenny's cottage. It will be a great site of
pilgrimage, healing and conversions. There are other revelations
also here, such as predictions of her death, and also the growth of
her Mission of the Cross before and after her death. There is also a
secret revealed regarding the foundation stone of the sanctuary.

(January
5, 1877)
“The
Cross will one day be the mark (i.e., the sign, emblem) of the
Mission in the house that you live. The cross will be simple but the
Divine Heart will be engraved with the crown of thorns. The
fountain, and on the other side, there will be the cross with Jesus
Christ crucified. My victim, your house will be called the Rest of
the Cross, the Sanctuary of the Cross, the Shrine of Remission.
Later, I will tell you another name that is confused with them, that
will form the true name of this place.” (i.e. the real name of the
Sanctuary will be revealed later.)
:::::::::::::::
(January
12, 1877) – Marie-Julie seems to predict where her body will be
taken after her death, ad tot he cross that will be placed in the
shrine.
Marie-Julie:
“The white doves will take off and go fluttering along the creek.
It is there also that my poor body will pass. (After
her death?) The Cross
will remain in my place by the stream.”
(NOTE:
this seems to refer to the cross that will be placed on the site
after her death – Our Lord promised in the earlier visions the
cross that was in her cell would be a graced sacramental and would
bring graces to sinners after her death.)
:::::::::
(January
19, 1877) - Our Lord reveals Marie-Julie will not live to see the
Restoration of the Faith in France, the Age of Peace, or event he
Construction of the Sanctuary. This will happen after her death.
Our
Lord to Marie-Julie: “Do you know how (many) hours of existence
(you have) yet?” (i.e., how
long she has still left on earth.) I will tell you but
later. You, you will not see the beautiful times of France. You will
not see the beautiful cross that My Heart has blessed, nor the
sanctuary of which I have drawn the plans, nor the altar, nor that
tabernacle where I will rest and where I will leave to give Myself to
sinners. (i.e. in Holy Communion). You will not see the long work of
your Father (confessor) in the modest house where you lived and
suffered. You will go to heaven.
Mary
plants fourteen crosses on the way; she will rest at the fourteenth
cross before reaching the fountain. Fourteen good angels bearing a
cross blessed by the Eternal Father. From there will come the
blessings for the other's cross.
(NOTE:
Marie-Julie is told she will not
live to see the Sanctuary built. The 14 crosses – seems to
be a symbolic vision of several things. First, of Marie-Julie
Jahenny's 'Holy Novitiate of the Cross' in which she rose to
spiritual perfection through 14 steps through various lessons given
to her by the saints, several of which are already posted on this
blog. Click here to learn more about the 'Novitiate of the Cross.' We also see symbolic 14 stations used to describe the growth of her
mission on earth, up to the time of her death, and afterwards.)
:::::::::::::
(January
26, 1877)
Marie-Julie:
“Before my prayer at the cross, I have a secret first.
At
the foot of a cross, Jesus said:
'My
Victim, it is here that is the cross of your Father. (i.e. her
spiritual director, possibly Fr David.) He will sit from morning
until noon and beyond to hear the confessions of wretched sinners (to
the right of the cross). This is the place of your heart.
The
first time, he will sit there with a heart full of sadness. It will
be a test so strong that if I did not intervene, he would be
discouraged and abandon the Work of the Cross. After, he will
overflow with joy and consolation.
The
Mission of the Cross will be maintained by fourteen Fathers of the
Church. The works will still be numerous, because in the beginning
they will be only five. The number fourteen will be the definitive
and final number. The first stone (foundation stone?) of the
Sanctuary of the Cross will be blessed by Pius IX. The Bishop and
your Father (confessor) will go to Rome. They will bear a small stone
as big as a hand. Your Father will find here, under his consecrated
hand, this chosen stone. (That) your Father will mark this secret.
The Bishop with present it to the Holy Father who will bless it. A
tear will run from his eyes. He will say:
'Oh!
My lord, how happy you are to have a Sanctuary dedicated to the Cross
and to have been chosen by the Almighty God.'
Then,
turning affectionately to your Father, he will add:
'O
you, a friend of the Cross, you have a chosen place in heaven, by God
first, and the men who have made it for you embellish it by
persecution and slander.'
The
Holy Father will turn again to the Bishop and say:
'O
my lord, you are a Saint Michael on Earth, you bring down to Hell,
the demons bent under your consecrated hand.'
The
Holy Father gives a special blessing to the Bishop and my Father. He
said:
'I
know by Providence that after the peace, I will bless France, I will
return to the Sanctuary of the Cross and there I call the blessings
of Heaven.'
He
told them a secret, inspired by the Sacred Heart: There will come
here another foreign Prelate to help the Bishop in preaching. Our
Lord said to me:
'He
had come to inform the Holy Father, a secret over (about) France.'
(NOTES/
OBSERVATIONS: this is an interesting revelation that could have what
was occurring at the time mixed with future revelations about the
Sanctuary of the Cross. Marie-Julie said Our Lord gave her a secret
just then – first, that her father confessor, I.e. apparently Fr.
David, would suffer much in trying to promote the work and hear
confessions, but then consolation would come. This could refer to
the initial obstacles faced by him and the supporters of Marie-Julie
at the time when slander began to spread against her and the Work,
but this would be overcome. In fact, Fr. David her confessor was
accused at one time of inventing the 'fraud' of Marie-Julie and was
the one responsible for 'inventing' her 'claims' of mysticism!
Then,
if I am reading the context of this vision correctly, Marie-Julie was
shown a secret regarding the foundation stone of the Sanctuary. Her
Father confessor was shown the first stone he was to take to the
Bishop to have it blessed as the foundation stone of the Sanctuary of
the Cross. It was somewhere on the site of the cottage or near it,
and, it was as big as a hand. Her father confessor was to mark the
secret, i.e. possibly record the event, (he did note down several of
her early ecstasies). Then the Bishop would take the small stone
from the site to Rome be blessed by Bl Pius IX. It was revealed to
Marie-Julie that Pius IX would approve this sanctuary, bless the
stone, and that it was Providentially revealed to the Pope he would
bless France during the Age of Peace and would come to the Sanctuary.
It was then revealed to Marie-Julie that Pius IX was given a secret
revealed by the Sacred Heart – that a foreign Prelate would come to
the Sanctuary to help the Bishop and that the prelate had come to
give the Pope a secret regarding France.
Not
all of this is clear, but as this vision is dated January 1877, the
Bishop who takes the stone has to be Bishop Fournier who first
approved her visions – he was bishop during the pontificate of Pius
IX which lasted between 1846-1878. Bishop Fournier travelled to Rome
and brought the case of Marie-Julie before the Holy See in 1877.
Apparently, if I recall some information from French website, he was
praised in how he handled her case.
In
all, Marie-Julie was given a secret regarding what happened during
that papal audience. Marie-Julie seems to have revealed that Bishop
Fournier took the foundation stone for the Sanctuary to be blessed by
Pius IX, although we don't know where it is yet, at least I have not
heard or seen mention of it by the 'Marie-Julie Jahenny Association'
in France. From this text it seems Bl. Pius IX approved of the Work
of the Cross in private at least.
However,
what can we make of the detail Pius IX received the heavenly
inspiration he would visit the Sanctuary? Of interest I've
discovered Marie-Julie revealed Bl. Pius IX was NOT the Angelic
Pontiff who would bring the restoration and the Age of Peace. Since
he was not the predestined Angelic Pontiff, the Age of Peace has not
come yet and the Sanctuary is not yet built, we can assume this
particular text is a prediction that Bl Pius IX will miraculously
appear at some point, perhaps at the site sometime in the future.
Perhaps he will indicate where the hidden foundation stone is and
where it is to be laid? So far, that is my personal educated guess.)
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
(March
14, 1877)
Marie-Julie
- “I saw the first tests against the construction of the Sanctuary
of the Cross, but that will not last long. They will be quickly
dispersed.”
Our
Lord: “Hurry to come and receive your reward in Heaven. The
blessings of Heaven will fall on this small corner of land that I
have blessed and prepared. I will raise up a Sanctuary of the Cross
in solitude among the trees.”
::::::::::::::::::
(April
6, 1877)
Our
Lord to Marie-Julie: “The time has come when it is necessary that
the Mission of the Cross begins. As soon as I have spoken, the
difficulties will be removed. In a few years from now, there will be
at the location of your cell, a beautiful sanctuary of the Cross
where the pilgrims and the sinners will flock. Who can make such a
beautiful Work but I, the Almighty God who have spoken so often in
your heart on this lowly earth? My victim in the Mission of the
Cross, I will begin by giving a small number of Victims of the Cross,
the Fathers of the Church. When the sanctuary will be standing and
the cross marks the entry, I will choose the required number. It is
I who am the Architect. In your village, I received much
ingratitude; this lowly earth will feed only on dry and arid hearts
that knew only blasphemies and outrages. I always choose places where
there is an ungrateful people. If souls were good Christians, they
would have seen this lowly village filled with water which would have
suggested they say "God is there." Men will witness this
heavenly grace that will appear in this sanctuary. They will
recognize the effect of My great power. I will bless your village and
the surrounding lands that will be preserved from the plagues and the
wrath of Heaven.”

(April
20, 1877)
Our
Lady: “My child, here is the planting of the new Calvary.”
Our
Lady prayed and wept. She joined her hands to heaven and said:
Heavenly
Father, bless this land covered with mud and sins; This is where will
be planted the new cross and the Second Passion of My Son.
My
child, if I could with my tears, dig to plant the new Calvary.”
Our
Lady falls to her knees and wept with such abundance that the earth
did not move forward to drink the tears of my mother.
“I
am so exhausted,” She said, “that I fear of expiring before
having brought my hand to dig this land and to plant this cross. Let
us both get to work, let us dig this wretched land to plant the
cross.”
Our
Lady blessed me and I began to dig.
(NOTE:
'fear of expiring'. Since
Our Lady blessed her to dig, and, Marie-Julie was speaking, it is
possible it was Marie-Julie who feared to expire before the work of
the Mission had a chance to get started since her death was foretold
to her several times and a scribe could have incorrectly dictated who
the 'she' was in this text. Sometimes the scribes had to work fast
to try and write everything Marie-Julie said – also, some things
could be misread if the scribe was sloppy in their dictation.
Sometimes there are text gaps due to this. Also, there were problems
regarding some of the texts in that shorthand was used, and people
are still trying to figure out what was written down. So, this could
be a typo.
Or,
as the Mission of the Cross is described mystically as a 'New
Calvary' and 'Second Passion' happening on earth, Our Lady could be
referring to a mystical or symbolical meaning form of 'expiring' as
we know She cannot die twice.
Perhaps
Our Lady is experiencing mystical pain for the earth at at that point
that she felt sorrow unto that like a 'death' as if experiencing
Calvary all over again, and was 'exhausted' trying to keep the wrath
of God from striking the earth before the Mission had a chance to
begin. We see her indicate that her tears of sorrow were so abundant
the earth could not absorb them, but yet were not enough to 'dig' the
foundations of the Mission of the Cross. It would require even more
effort. Below we see she tells Marie-Julie the promised Works of the
Cross will begin when men rebel against God and the Church, so the
Mission will grow through huge trials and sufferings on earth, like a
'second' Calvary.)

(1st
May 1877)
Our
Lord: “My victim, I come with My Cross because it is here that I
founded My promise. It is in this little house that this new devotion
will be restored. The Cross will serve as a shelter for sinners,
homeless orphans and the poor hearts. When I made you this promise,
it was already in March, four years ago.”
Marie-Julie:
“I did not understand.”
Our
Lord: “I am telling you: do you accept My nails? You answered me,
yes. By espousing My sufferings you espouse the Cross. The Cross will
call your home and your home will call the Mission.”
Our
Lady said: “The Cross will take birth in perilous times. The works
of the Cross will commence when men begin to rebel against Jesus.
Soon the pilgrims will be near the spiritual Father of the Church.
No sooner will they go out that men will cry against God and the
Church, a true day of scourges.”

(May

Our
Lord: “My victim, listen, My cross has been for you a treasure of
graces and lights, it will rest one day in this small corner of land
I have chosen and blessed.”
