Marie-Julie
Jahenny sees allegorical visions of France as the Eldest Daughter of
the Church. The visions are prophecies of France's corruption, its
future restoration and victorious RESURRECTION.
April 19, 1875: A vision of France.
"Marie-Julie is transported to an arid and desolate desert in the middle of confused darkness. Before her is a tomb, that of France. A foul smell rose from it which prevented one from approaching it. All of a sudden there is a bright light and Jesus Christ descends, opens the tomb, leans over the corpse and takes it in His arms, gently, as Saint Joseph used to take the Child Jesus. France wakes up and the Saviour speaks to her lovingly, in a language fragrant with divine ardour of the Canticle of Canticles. He promises her in the near future blessings, glories and triumphs that will surpass all the past victories because she weeps for her faults, for which she repents and she throws herself lovingly into the Sacred Heart. Then Jesus covers her again and disappears."
May 4, 1875: Another vision of the "Tomb" of France:
"France has come out of the tomb. She stands still in front of Jesus Christ who smiles at her tenderly. She is enveloped in a long black shroud, which represents her crimes. Jesus Christ divests her of it up to her chest. He covers her head with a veil that is dazzlingly white, then He tears from His Heart a flowering lily and plants it in the heart of the resurrected one."
May 19, 1875.
"Marie-Julie sees France, Daughter of Jesus Christ, having almost reached the last degree of the Throne of which He was seated. Her black shroud had fallen away completely, the Saviour put it under His feet and France was at once adorned in a white cloak covered with golden lilies which enveloped her from head to feet."
May 24, 1875: A detailed vision of France's deliverance.
"Marie-Julie saw Jesus Christ seated on a resplendent throne. Near Him, was His Mother. France presents herself all dressed in white and lilies. She is already crowned, but not yet with the Great Crown which will be given her only at the time of her salvation. From her heart issued the lily that Jesus Christ had placed. She was covered in flowers, Amongst these flowers was one which shone more and was more dazzling. France climbed the steps to the throne. Our Lady was praying, smiling and weeping! Her Divine Son then cries out He is conquered, that He cannot resist, that He forgets and forgives:
"From now on it is up
to thee, My Mother, to thee alone, to command and fix the hour of the
Victory of thy beloved Daughter!"
And taking from His Heart a drop of
Blood and a tear from the eyes of Our Lady, He placed this mysterious
mixture in the big flower of the heart of France.
At the right of the
throne the Pope (The Holy Angelic Pontiff to come) was kneeling. Jesus
Christ calls him and names him "His dear son”. He makes him climb next
to Him, then He says to him: "You have suffered enough, it is time you
were consoled and that your enemies disappear so that your glory reigns
sovereign in the universe." The Pope in tears and pressed against
the Heart of his Master, exclaims he does not merit such a reward, that
he is unworthy of such splendour. At the left of the Throne was the
King. (The promised Great Catholic Monarch.) He climbs in his turn, but a
little less high than the Pope, and he too receives the divine
promises. He is the beloved son of the Virgin and he will reign with his
flag, symbol of purity and glory. (That is to say, the white flag with
lilies.) Meanwhile, all the great saints who protect France were
hovering around. In the first row Saint Michael, in his armour, seemed
to be waiting proudly the hour of battle against evil."
June 15, 1875: Vision about the King to come
"The King is brought by Our Lady, who will love him as her Son because of his innocence. He appears as Sovereign, crowned in grandeur in the shadow of the folds of his flag. After awhile, the scene changed and was completed. France follows her egitimate Head, walks resting on the Heart of the Virgin and her small crown changes into a diadem of victory. The Sacred Heart joins Mary to assure her of His Love and to announce once again that He would conquer His enemies with unequalled triumph. "France is saved!" Marie-Julie keeps repeating. The good friends of the Sacred Heart are grouped in large crowds behind France, preceded by all the Saints who protect the Eldest Daughter of the Church."
