Ecstasy date
March 28, 1931
Our
Lord said to Marie-Julie Jahenny: "Oh My daughter, I am a God
of trust and love. I am a Father of Mercy and of holy abandonment.
I
have many priests, they never preach on My Love or My goodness or My
Confidence, nor on My Mercy.
Preach
Trust by My Will.
Make known My goodness, I am not loved because
they do not preach all that is beautiful in Heaven that would make
them love Me.
Pray
for the priests so that the Holy Spirit (becomes?) their breath that
they may make Me loved.” (i.e. Note, an odd phrase that is
difficult to translate. Obviously it means we must pray for priests
that their preaching is inspired by the Holy Spirit and they teach
about trusting in the Divine Mercy.)

From
the Ecstasy on the Same Day:
The
Divine Heart: “I have so much love, I do not know (anymore)
who
to give it to. I give it to My little souls in suffering, those who
want to do My Will.
There
is no suffering without love, there is no love without suffering.”
When
we complained Jesus said:
“If
there had been no misery, there would be no Mercy, as I am good with
a sweet smile that seems to say – you understand Me?”
…
Apparently
the scribe who wrote down the ecstasy, or the webmasters of the
'Friend of Marie-Julie Association' that have made the following
comments after this:
“In
Holy Communion Marie-Julie has sometimes has transports of love, but
generally, of ice. It is Our
Lord who made all these states (in the soul) of coldness, aridness or
love. - There is no one but God worthy to receive a God, why
torment yourself?”
(NOTE
/Explanation: The commentator notes that Our Lord did not always
allow Marie-Julie to feel great love or consolations when she
received Holy Communion but also transports of dryness and even
coldness – this sense of her imperfections was also a suffering she
could offer up in love as Our Lord explained there is no love without
suffering, and suffering without love.
This
is a 'misery' we can offer up: that eventhough we may be in the state
of grace we will feel a sense of our imperfections that we are not
able to receive Our Lord as 'worthily' as we would like. No one is
worthy to receive God but God Himself, and, that He despite this He
wants us to receive Him in Communion, therefore, we should not let
thoughts of our unworthiness torment us and keep us from going to
Communion.
Our
Lord says there is 'no misery without Mercy present', and we can also
see that this is connected to the message of September 24, 1925,
(Post #178, click here) in that Our Lord said His Mercy blows away
our imperfections – He doesn't take away all our imperfections and
the misery they make us feel as it adds to our merits – hence these
miseries such as dryness in spirit and even a sense of coldness when
receiving Communion which causes us pain when we would like to be
better are a great Mercy as we are granted merits through them. We
must persevere despite all the dryness in spirit and dark night of
the soul and the miseries we feel.
