THE EUCHARIST AND THE CROSS

Receive Holy Communion . . . for What is Coming.

The Sacred Heart says:

When a soul has just received Me, it is no longer the soul which lives, it is My Divine Soul which comes into this soul. For Holy Communion, I take away the Christian's heart and I give him Mine instead.  How good I feel in these souls and in these hearts! Every day, I would like to be able to live in this palace formed by my Love.

These are the Holy Communions of today which, in a time which is coming soon, when there will no longer be Holy Bread, no longer the Adorable Body to sustain the failing forces. It is the very Holy Communions of today which will give to my beloved souls the force and the courage to confront, in charity, the peril and the danger; but these souls will not lose. This sacred manna will lift them above the peril, and will hold them suspended above the danger.

These beloved souls will accomplish acts of devotion, even for those who have been their thorns. These thorns will have been My thorns, those which will pierce My Heart and those which already pierce It.  There are, faithful and blessed souls, there are only your approaches, by Holy Communion, which can heal the stings, and relieve the pains.

(22 June 1882)

Reflection on this Prophecy:

Here is a clear message from Christ our Lord regarding the state of the Roman Catholic Church today, “a time which is coming soon, when there will no longer be Holy Bread, no longer the Adorable Body to sustain the failing forces.”

We are indeedin that time and all around us are “the failing forces” who, without the Holy Sacraments, have souls that are weakened, starved, and made vulnerable to sin.

There but for the grace of God go we, dear readers.

This week’s prophecy gives us the answer for how it is that we have the strength to carry on in the fight for loving God with all our hearts and all our strength: we are receiving strength and many other graces from the Holy Communions received by Marie-Julie Jahenny and her friends:

“It is the very Holy Communions of today which will give to my beloved souls the force and the courage to confront, in charity, the peril and the danger; …”

Here is a perfect example of the dogma of the Communion of the Saints!

And really, God is so loving to us, so perfect in how He loves us. Look at how He takes care of our every need:

“… these souls will not lose. This sacred manna will lift them above the peril, and will hold them suspended above the danger.”

 We are safe in the palm of His Hand!

Our duty in loving God is to keep up our prayers, acts of devotion, on behalf of this sinful world:

“These beloved souls will accomplish acts of devotion, even for those who have been their thorns. These thorns will have been My thorns, those which will pierce My Heart and those which already pierce It.”

And the duty of Marie-Julie and her friends is to offer up their Holy Communions for us in these times:

“… [F]aithful and blessed souls, there are only your approaches, by Holy Communion, which can heal the stings, and relieve the pains.”

God’s ways are perfect and sure. How good it is to know that Christ our Lord uses the works of His friends to provide graces to other souls!

Let us take up our devotional acts in the sure knowledge that souls dear to us can and will  receive the graces needed for their conversions!

Laus Tibi, Christe!

    [Canon 1825]  If anyone then says that it is not from the institution of Christ the Lord Himself, or by divine right that the blessed Peter has perpetual successors in the primacy over the universal Church, or that the Roman Pontiff is not the successor of blessed Peter in the same primacy, let him be anathema.
