Ecstasy
Date Nov 1, 1938 – An Eyewitness Describing Marie-Julie Jahenny's
vision on the Feast of All Saints
It
was the first of November 1938, I arrived at La Fraudais early in the
morning, shortly after (her) return (from her) ecstasy in which on
this solemnity, Our Lord gave to Marie-Julie to contemplate His Own
in glory (i.e. the
saints) ... .
Sitting
on the small chair in front of her bed, she was usually always in
possession of herself, but not that day! Because, she appeared to the
contrary nor could she contain herself. In the excess of her
happiness, (with) all the soul vibrating, she kept saying: "How
Jesus is good! How Jesus is good! How happy I am! Oh, how Jesus is
good!"
And
so intoxicated with love she said again "How Jesus is good! And
how I am happy," because in her excitement, she could not find
other words.
I
finally ventured, "You have seen Heaven, Marie-Julie?"
"Yes,
my little friend."
Witness:
"And all of yours?" (i.e. possibly, family and friends who
have passed on.)
Marie-Julie:
"All mine."
Witness:
"Father, Mother, Angela?"
Marie-Julie:
"And Rose ... all of Heaven." (NOTE: Her family were in
Heaven!)
Witness:
"What else?"
Marie-Julie:
"I went up to (? text missing) of Paradise."
Witness:
"On the summit? ... And there?" (NOTE: it was actually one
of the higher circles of Heaven, but not the summit as we see from
one of her answers.)
Marie-Julie:
"I saw three Saints."
Witness:
It was about that supreme glory where the greatest saints of the
Catholic Church are. "Three Saints, Marie-Julie! I am going
to guess who: Saint Joseph?"
Marie-Julie:
"NO, (with firmness) he is much higher!" (NOTE: obviously
she was not shown that higher circle.)
Witness:
"Then, St. Mary Magdalene?"
Marie-Julie:
"Yes, St. Mary Magdalene."
Witness:
"St. Catherine of Siena?"
Marie-Julie:
"Yes ... Yes." (Very quickly.)
Witness:
"The third?"
Marie-Julie
did not answer. What was meant by this silence with such happiness?
