“My children, this is me, coming to end up this day in your company…

“I dread you might be frightened. Do not be sad, nor wavering in your faith, during those days so close at hand, which cause me to shed torrents of tears about the loss of so many souls. I will guard you in this corner of Brittany where my name is repeated so well.”

--This is true, Mother dear, we often repeat your name.

“It is above all when the innocent lips of little children are the ones repeating my name that my heart feels tender.”

--We have lost that speech of innocence, since we have sinned.

“No… you are loving me and I love you. Be prudent because the assaults of the enemy are going to be terrible. Be steadfast and determined to live according to your faith.”

--Yes, Mother dear, we promise it, just as if we were making our will…

“This is outside you… You will have traps set against you and combats to withstand. Be reserved. Sufferings will be turned into joy, because you will have awaited everything with an admirable patience.

“I am not coming as often as I would like to, my children. But I will come back.”

(September 29, 1878)

Reflection on this prophecy:

In this week’s prophecy, the Blessed Virgin Mary introduces herself in a unique way. She says, “My children, this is me, coming to end up this day in your company…”

The tone seems tired, perhaps sad. It is as if Our Blessed Mother has been labouring all day and is coming to sit and rest amid her friends.

But what is the meaning of “this day” in terms of eternity?

Are we speaking of a time in history, an era?

If so, in speaking of “the end of this day” is our Lady referring to the end of the Christian era, to the end of public celebration of the Holy Sacraments and prayers?

So, in “coming to end up this day in your company”, is the Mother of God letting us know that she will remain with the Church (we, the faithful), through a time of the extinguishing of the Roman Catholic Faith, prayers, preaching, and open gatherings of worship?

Yes, the Mother of God is telling us that she will stay with us to the end (the burial) of the Christian era.

And she warns us that this era is “close at hand”.

She says: “I dread you might be frightened. Do not be sad, nor wavering in your faith, during those days so close at hand”.

The Mother of God is in eternity, time has not hold on her, so she knows that the persecution will be frightening because she can see it.

She knows that some of us will waver in our faith and capitulate with Anti-Christ’s laws and regulations.

This time of deadly persecution is the reason for her deep grief. She says:

“… those days so close at hand, which cause me to shed torrents of tears about the loss of so many souls.”

Many souls will be eternally lost to Hell for two main reasons: they will either deny the Faith, which is a sin against the Holy Ghost, and therefore cannot be pardoned by God; or they will not have repented of their sins before they die, perhaps even hating their persecutors to end up in Hell. 

When your and my turn comes to die, we must die like Christ. He accepted His sentence and his tortures. He prayed to God the Father to forgive his torturers.

He even healed the ear of one of the temple guards who had come to arrest Him!

What did Christ command in His Sermon on the Mount?

“But I say to you: Love your enemies. Do good to those that hate you: and pray for them that persecute and calumniate you.” (Mt. 5:44)

“That you may be the children of your Father who is in Heaven, who makes the sun to rise upon the good , and bad, and rain upon the just and unjust.” (Mt. 5:45)

“ .… Be you therefore perfect, as also your heavenly Father is perfect. (Mt. 5: 48)

In praying for our known enemies now, we are practising detachment. We need to build up our detachment before the persecutions begin in earnest.

It takes detachment to not be sad at the thought of losing everything we love, everything we have built up around our lives.

Yes, detachment will help us to control our emotions, to suffer all and, if necessary, to face death like Christ our Lord.

Our Blessed Mother also warns us to be wary of the machinations used by evil:

“You will have traps set against you and combats to withstand. Be reserved.”

If we can control our emotions, then we can keep from saying something that we will only come to regret.

Our challenge is two-fold: to keep our sins always before us so that we stop sinning, and to maintain holy hope that the triumph of the Immaculate Heart will take place.

In fact, we are not alone in facing each battle, in facing death. The Mother of God, the Mediatrix of all Graces, is with us!

This is her promise:

“I will guard you in this corner of Brittany where my name is repeated so well.”

What does this mean? Do we have to get to Brittany right away?

No, the key is to understand that we must pray our daily rosary well.

We must concentrate and pray the daily Holy Rosary to our Blessed Mother Mary as a heartfelt conversation with her who is our best friend, our strong advocate.

Praying intimately with our dear Mother will perfect our prayer and, as she says, she will be able to guard us!

As the Mediatrix of all Graces, this is a certainty!

So let us be at peace, cultivate patience, and learn to pray intimately to our Blessed Mother.

Through her holy rosary, we repeat her name often so that, like Marie-Julie Jahenny, we can say: “This is true, Mother dear, we often repeat your name.”

Ave Maria, gratia plena! Dominus tecum! Benedicta tu in mulieribus et benedictus fructus ventris Jesu!

Hail Mary, full of grace! The Lord is with thee! Blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus!

After the Signing of the Armistice of 1918:

“If My people do not return, if they do not acknowledge Me as their sovereign Lord, I shall set fire to My Justice once again. A few conversions are going to take place, but not on the part of those who should be the first ones to confess their infidelity and their contempt of My Divine Person. If this people does not acknowledge Me, I am going to strike again: I cannot be content with so little thanksgiving.” (dated a few weeks after the armistice of November 11, 1918).

[Source: p. 31, Prophecies of La Fraudais, as compiled by Father Pierre Roberdel].

Reflection on this Prophecy:

This week’s prophecy makes clear that God “set[s] fire to [His] Justice” by means of a world at war.

And God did punish the murder of the first-intended Great Monarch, Archduke Franz Fertinand with WWI, which ended with the armistice of November 11, 1918.

It was called “The war to end all wars.”

But this prophecy was made true with WWII.

And now we are in the beginning of WWIII…

Who does God want to be converted?

“[T]hose who should be the first ones to confess their infidelity and their contempt of My Divine Person.”

And who are they?

God the Son, Christ our Lord, was of the Hebrew race, and He calls the ones who need to convert “My people”.

He tells Marie-Julie Jahenny: “If My people do not return, if they do not acknowledge Me as their sovereign Lord, I shall set fire to My Justice once again.”

It is heart-warming to know that “[a] few conversions are going to take place”.

But sadly, those who persecute Christ and His Church will not be converted:

“A few conversions are going to take place, but not on the part of those who should be the first ones to confess their infidelity and their contempt of My Divine Person.”

This prophecy is so insistent on the conversion of all of the Hebrew race, that it is notable.

For instance, Christ says: “If this people does not acknowledge Me, I am going to strike again: I cannot be content with so little thanksgiving.”

God the Father sent His Son, God made Man, to save His chosen children, the Hebrew race!

This is an even stronger action by our loving God than even the giving of the Ten Commandments to Moses for the salvation of the His chosen children who had begun to worship a golden calf.

God has again been cast aside in our current time of history.

Today, the goal seems to be to use technology to be our own gods. I truly believe that each person is so autonomous that they are worshipping themselves.

Consider:

• the murders of the unwanted babies, babies that God has given to not just a man and woman, but to the whole of that society.
• the divorces, and the serial re-marriages.
• the seeking of recreation through drugs or sexual acts.
• the popularity of the false churches that promise worldly success and monetary riches.

But God gave us an eternal soul for four reasons:

1.  To know God

2.  To love God

3.  To serve God

4.  To be with God for all eternity

These reasons exist together and cannot exist separately from each other.

Each one of us, whether a chosen child of God or an adopted child of God must follow all of the above.

And in knowing God, we must study the life of Jesus Christ and decide if He was a liar, a lunatic, or telling the truth. This is logic.

May God bless us all and keep us, may He let His Face shine upon us, and be gracious to us, and give us His Peace.

Jesus Christ said: “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one cometh to the Father but by Me.” (John 14:6)

Laus tibi, Christe!
