Marie-Julie: “Good Mother, when we see the joy of the blessed, how we would like to share their happiness! Good Mother, how long is our exile!”
(i.e. after seeing the joy of the blessed in heaven, apparently during this ecstasy, life on earth seems a long exile, particularly for Marie-Julie as she was promised heaven ‘soon’, but Heaven needed victim souls. Sr. Lucia of Fatima said the same thing – Our Lady promised her heaven ‘soon’, and she lived for many decades. Sr. Lucia noted ‘soon’ felt so long! ‘Soon’ is very short for Heaven, but decades feel like a long exile to us!)
Our Lady: “My dear child, this exile is shortened, but my Divine Son is in great need of reparations of victim souls to raise the vibration of their faith and their prayers to his Throne. (‘Vibration’ – a literal translation from the French. Could be an archaic reference to ‘vibrant’, as in vibrant faith and prayers.) My dear children, I would like to thank you again for your holy and fervent prayers and especially for your indulgences for the poor delivered souls. (I.e of Purgatory.) I took away many from that place who had expiated for everything; they enjoy glory. They thank you and pray to Jesus for you, for their dear benefactors and benefactresses. There are still many of these souls (in Purgatory) who had come with the promise of masses and indulgences. When I pass among them, they say to me: ‘We came here with many Masses, and everything is forgotten; they no longer pray for us!´ (I.e. there are many souls still in Purgatory whose family on earth had promised masses and to offer indulgences for them, but they were forgotten.)
“My dear children, pray again, for there are many abandoned souls, and the places left empty are quickly filled. (i.e. the places left by souls that are delivered quickly filled by new arrivals.) There are some who only need Communion (offered for them), a Stations of the Cross (said for them). These are friends that you have placed in heaven and who will come with me to bring you graces. The offering of Holy Communion is a grace that surpasses all other graces. (i.e. the souls we help release by these means will be our friends and accompany Our Lady to bring graces in return for their release. Masses and offering Communion for them is the great help and brings the greatest graces.)
“On December 8, my feast day, I promise you that I will take many of these to heaven, friendly souls whom you have known and loved.”
(‘Friendly’ – a literal translation here, probably Our Lady means these souls will become even closer friends in Heaven as benevolent benefactors.)
Marie-Julie: “My Good Mother, for this beautiful day, take us all very close into your Heart!”
Our Lady: “That day, my children, (December 8), I will be rich in graces. It is the day when Heaven is most festive!”

Jesus: “With the love of My Divine Heart, the greatest sorrows become victorious; the heaviest, most tiresome worries become graces through My Heart. If I test you, it is because I love you! I do not test My enemies, I leave them to themselves throughout their lives. Friends of the Cross, I want to tell you with My tenderness that the trials of the moment and of the present time are a proof of predilection. Later, they will appear as a mark of My greatest tenderness.
From all the pains that sin has caused Me to suffer, I have made a heap of precious gold. In this heap of gold changed into a cross, I wrote on the door of this heap of suffering: 'I only give My crosses to My dearest friends.' It is the most precious gift I can give. Life on earth is very short,, but later, in My Heaven, all the crosses will be changed into crosses of gold and love. I want to rivet the friends of the Cross to the love of My Blessed Sacrament, Divine Nourishment which will be their strength in the days of great sacrifices. I will tell them: these rewards are not for Me, but for you! However, I do not want you to serve Me to obtain your consolations, but for Mine.” (i.e. Our Lord seems to be saying here not to serve in order to be consoled according to your ways, that is, a type of self interest, instead we are to accept the consolations God sends as He sees fit).

Ecstasy of October 19, 1911 ~ The Holiness of the Priesthood – yet Scandal and Apostasy was Going to Come Soon From Priests and Bishops
(Source: “Marie-Julie Jahenny: Une Vie Mystique”, Henri Boucier, pp. 135, 137)
Our Lady: "The priesthood is a shining sun, and in
its rays is the ray of the Sacred Heart. The priesthood is a star of
whiteness. The threads of predilection and purity ascend to the true
and eternal priesthood. Arrived there. The Divine Eternal Priesthood
makes this priesthood of my favoured sons even more beautiful. It
sanctifies it, it beautifies it. What a wealth of glory comes from
the Divine Priesthood of my Son! These are riches of glory and
graces near me, Queen of the Priesthood.
(But
Our Lady also gave a serious prophecy on this day regarding the
lukewarm priests not living up to their great vocation back then, and
what it was going to lead to ....)
Our Lady: "I see a
great offence being committed every morning. It is that many priests
go to the holy altar without preparing themselves, without thinking
of the holy mysteries they are going to celebrate, they are in a
hurry to come down from the holy altar in order to be more free with
all the questions and conversations. My Divine Son is of little
importance in their human thoughts. They themselves are hardly aware
of it. They do their duty because they have to, without thinking of
doing it well. Not all, but many! You will see the scandals by the
princes of the Church: bishops, pastors, etc. Apostasy is not far
off. The scandals will come. All evils are increasing and nothing
touches my people but a few who see and groan.”
(OBSERVATION: From the context, it sounds like Our Lady was warning of the liberal laxity that would enter into the Church, the priests will want to just simply due their duty as they have to, but hardly thinking of Christ, which means, not thinking much of His holy Will either, for after fulfilling their obligatory duties due to necessity, they then really want to engage in 'conversations' and 'questions', which sounds like theological disputes of the day, also, perhaps, synods and conferences, and obviously, not ones pleasing to Heaven since apostasy will come from it. This may be a cryptic reference to the heresy of Modernism in this text, a heresy which has craftily crept in and infected the Church right now. Apparently, when this evil falls, many of the faithful will be indifferent, or even conditioned due to the gradual increase of evil they weren't paying attention to, like the 'frog in the boiling pot' analogy, and only a few will see what will be happening in the Church and complain. We certainly see this coming to pass before our eyes, the Church has seen nothing but scandal after scandal appear from the hierarchy.)
