of the Son of Man"

(Books of Madeleine)
1st
APPARITION
Holy
Madeleine,
having opened her bedroom window, started to say the prayer to the Holy
Trinity, as she did each morning when her husband left for the factory at
4.30 a.m.
Then she saw a
dazzling light in the sky, slightly to the right. Frightened, she got back into
bed, thinking that perhaps it was a � flying saucer �,
because there are people who claim to have seen them.
Eight to ten
minutes later she went back to the window : there was nothing. Then,
suddenly, in the same place a huge luminous Cross formed in the sky :
everything took shape gradually but together, beginning with the extremities -
the bottom, the arms and the top - coming together in the medium of the Cross,
the base, the arms and the top.
The arms and
the top of the Cross were equal, the Cross was enormous - straight, impressive,
wonderful, dazzling but easy to look at and lit up the whole horizon : � a bit
bigger than the
A few seconds
later, she heard a strong, grave and compelling voice announce :
� ECCE CRUCEM DOMINI �
which echoed as
though in a church. She then made the sign of the Cross.
Then gently and
very slowly, another voice seeming to come from beside her said :
� You will make known this Cross, and
you will carry it. �
A few seconds
later everything disappeared � in a flash �.
She took a scrap of paper to write down those three words she did not
understand.
For nearly two
hours she wept :
- � How
can I make known the Cross ?
- � How
can I tell it to the world ?
- � How
can I convince people that Jesus is there, that His Cross dominates the world ? �
And with regard
to His orders :
� Nobody
will believe me ! �
She added :
� I thought it was
only saints who had apparitions... I'm only a poor creature, a repentant
sinner. �
That same
morning, after Mass, Madeleine resolved to ask Father L'Horset
(the parish priest) the meaning of the three Latin words. He was astonished,
asked, in vain, where she had heard them, and gave her the translation :
� Behold the CROSS of the LORD ! �
Madeleine
became very sad, she no longer felt any spiritual presence during Mass, and
thought she would never again see that wonderful Cross. She felt abandoned but
stayed calm and in great peace. That lasted about two weeks.
Then a great
inner joy flooded her soul. She understood the reason : If Jesus had shown
her His Cross, it was not to abandon her, nor was the Message just for her.
But then
Madeleine felt torn in two ; her natural reserve and the order given her
by Jesus to make His Cross known were hard to reconcile. To die would seem to
be the solution, but of course that was only a fleeting thought.
Madeleine now
lived through a time of long, profound and generous reflection : this
Cross dominates the world which has no idea of It, or ignores It, or simply
forgets It. And yet It is the world's only hope. It is there to save us, to
remind us of how much Jesus suffered to redeem us.
However, the
astonishment and wonder this vision provoked in Madeleine, were different and
did not surpass the spiritual joy she felt since April 1970. She writes :
� Real
happiness is spiritual joy, it is to unite one's Spirit to Jesus' Spirit, it is
to let oneself be lead by the Holy Spirit like a child by its mother. �
She adds
charitably in her prayers :
� Make
known to all those who receive You in Holy Communion the spiritual joy You have
given me, that they may, like me, draw from each Communion the true joys of
your presence. �
On Holy
� It is
sometimes difficult to keep such a secret, � she wrote. She
did not tell her eighty-three years old mother nor her husband.
2nd
APPARITION
Madeleine
prayed with her arms spread in a cross at her window.
The � luminous Cross �, wonderfully beautiful, of a
brilliance and limpidity to which no light on earth could be compared, took
shape, but it was not preceded by a dazzling light as on the first occasion.
And she heard a
voice very close to her, very gentle and very sad, say :
� Penitence,
penitence, it is time to save all these sinners who do not love Jesus... �
And she was
told a secret regarding an approaching menace to humanity.
She
wrote :
� The world
is so confused by ever increasing progress that the Creator is forgotten... And
yet, Jesus will come and save the world and its sadness by the Cross. The
sufferings and miseries will come to an end. Then it will be the end - peace...
Yes, how marvellous to discover that heavenly light which will have no evening.
But to attain all the wonders which God has announced, one must have a pure
heart : it is time to convert, to do penitence... �
Madeleine felt
so sad she could not help crying. Coming out of Mass, the priest approached
her, a thing he never did ordinarily, and asked her :
� Why are
you so sad ? �
Madeleine, put
at ease, then told him the reason.
3rd
APPARITION
In the same
place, a dazzling light like a flash of lightening and the wonderful Cross took
shape for the third time and Madeleine heard a voice from on high :
� Audivi vocem
de caelo dicentem mihi... �
Translation : � I heard a
voice from heaven which said to me. �
� Tell the
priest to erect in this place the Glorious Cross, and at its foot a sanctuary.
Everyone will
come here to repent and to find Peace and Joy. �
4th APPARITION
The fourth
vision of the Cross with this announcement in a very gentle voice as usual :
� You will
see this Cross three more times. �
5th
APPARITION
Fifth vision of
the Cross, and a very gentle voice which seemed to be beside her :
� Tell the
priest that the Glorious Cross, raised on this spot, has to be comparable to
6th
APPARITION
Sixth vision of
the Cross, still in the same place, at the same time and in the same way.
The voice
seemed to be beside her :
� Would you
be so kind as to tell the Bishop that the priest must not leave his parish
before carrying out the task which is asked of him. �
Madeleine gazed
at the Cross for about 15 to 18 minutes. She said :
� This
marvellous light does not hurt the eyes, it only dazzles the spirit. �
Then she heard :
� Find three
people, and together say the rosary for the erection of the Glorious Cross,
here, on the border of the Dozul� territory. �
Note :
From that day, Sisters B. and M. said the
rosary with the priest, and were told about the apparitions.
7th
APPARITION
Wednesday
evening,
(Feast of
Madeleine left
the sacristy of the parish church with the priest, and saw the luminous Cross,
much smaller and seemingly higher in the sky.
Some seconds
after, at Its foot, an oval cloud formed, then the Cross disappeared suddenly
and a human form stood on the cloud :
� Never
have I seen anything so beautiful. His Head was inclined and His Hands
stretched out towards me as though welcoming me. �
She heard :
� Don't be
afraid, I am Jesus of Nazareth, the Risen Son of
� O sorte nupta
prospera Magdalena ! � � Annuntiate virtutes ejus qui vos de tenebris vocavit in admirabile Lumen Suum. �
Translation from
the Latin : � � Madeleine, whom a happy fate has
made a spouse ! Proclaim the wonders of Him who has called you from
shadows to His marvellous light. �
And Madeleine
wrote :
� I was
able to admire this marvel for a few more seconds, then everything disappeared
suddenly. �
I longed for
time to stand still... then I would not have been the only one to see Jesus
this evening of December 27th ; all mankind could have admired
this Beauty... all would have had the same longing as I : to contemplate
Him for all eternity... �
� His eyes
are full of love, gentleness and sadness at the same time, and His voice is of
an incomparable sweetness... And everyone will see Him one Day soon, coming on
a cloud, and on that Day the face of the earth will be dazzled. It is time to
lift your heads, there is still time to be saved... We are all one spirit in
God. Jesus has deigned to visit me... He is as present to you, but our bodies
get in the way and cannot perceive the spiritual... �
Note :
Madeleine has decorated the church and
arranged the flowers for a wedding, a task assigned to her because the nuns
were absent and which should have been done the previous day, if Father L'Horset had had time to explain to her where the flower
vases and ornaments were kept.
8th
APPARITION
Madeleine
finished the recitation of the rosary with the Sisters and the priest. She felt
a breeze brush her cheek, thought it was a draught but, intrigued, asked the
priest if he too had felt this breeze. After his reply to the negative, the
light � of dazzling beauty �, appeared where
the Tabernacle was.
Jesus appeared,
His hands extended in welcome and said :
� Be so kind as to come here. �
Madeleine went
up to Him.
� Say this aloud : �
He dictated it
slowly, word by word :
� I am the
First and the Last and the Living One, and All that has been given you : I
am Love, Peace, Joy, Resurrection and Life. Kiss the people present here for
love and out of charity for your neighbour. �
Be so kind as to
repeat this :
� Attendite quod in aure auditis, praedicate super tecta. Per te,
Translation : Listen !
What you hear in your ear, proclaim it from the housetops. Through you, Madeleine,
the city of
� Kiss the
ground three times in penitence for Iniquity. �
Jesus was very
sad. He looked for a long time at the three persons present and said :
� Say this
aloud to the persons who are saying the rosary with you : � (the two
Sisters and the priest)
� Make haste
to tell the world what you have seen and heard in My Name. Order the Bishop to
announce My Law, so that the Glorious Cross may be raised and the Sanctuary of
Reconciliation be built on the precise spot where Madeleine has seen it six
times, then all come to it in procession. �
Then Jesus
lifted up His arms, the hands turned towards Madeleine, eyes fixed on the
distance ; He said :
� When this
Cross is raised up on earth, I shall draw everything to Me. �
Then he lowered
His hands and arms in an attitude of welcome and said :
� Be so kind
as to come here each First Friday : I will visit you until the erection of
the Glorious Cross. �
Madeleine
worshipped Him for a moment, then rising a little, He disappeared.
9th
APPARITION
In the Chapel,
Jesus appeared in place of the Tabernacle. His hands stretched out to Madeleine
in welcome. He smiled for a long time at her, with a very sweet smile, and a
look of marvellous kindness. He raised His right hand towards her, placed the
other on His breast and said :
� Be so kind
as to repeat this :
� Misit Dominus
manum suam et dixit mihi : � Spiritus Domini docebit vos quaecumque dixero vobis. �
Translation :
� The Lord stretched out His hand and said to me : The Spirit
of the Lord will teach you everything I have said to you. �
� Go and
tell the Bishop everything I have dictated, and the Lord's servant will have
spoken a language which is foreign to her. �
� But, Lord �, said
Madeleine, � I don't remember it any more ! �
� Remember
this word of Mine : You will witness in my Name, and you will not need to
practise what you have to say, for I shall be with you. �
Then Jesus desappeared.
First Friday of August 1973
Jesus did not
come.
Madeleine left
the Chapel weeping, could not sleep and thought she had not done what Jesus
asked of her - to go to the Bishop.
She went a few
days later, with the priest and Sister B., hesitant and anxious. Once there,
the Holy Spirit brought everything back to mind and the Bishop said :
� If
this comes from God it will persist. �
She was happy
to have accomplished what Jesus asked of her, and in the car going back to
Dozul�, there was great joy.
� Without
You, Holy Spirit, nothing exists, nothing is possible. We are only darkness.
But when one possesses You : all is joy, all is love, all is possible. �
10th
APPARITION
In the Chapel the
light appeared in the place of the Blessed Sacrament, then Jesus, smiling with
such a sweet smile.
� Make a
genuflection and greet Him... Rejoice, Jesus of
� Rejoice,
rejoice without ceasing in the Lord. May your joy be known to all men. Rejoice
as the Lord's servant present here overflows with joy in the light she
discovers... Be humble, patient, charitable... �
Then looking
more serious :
� Kiss the
ground three times per penitence for Iniquity. �
Jesus looked so
sad. He always looked at the people in the Chapel so sadly, as though He saw
the world.
Madeleine asked
Him why, and He answered :
� I am sad
because of the lack of faith in the world, because of all those who do not love
my Father... �
Then very
slowly :
� Say this
aloud :
� Go
everyone in procession to the exact spot where the Lord's servant saw the
Glorious Cross, and every day say this HUMBLE PRAYER, followed by a decade of
the rosary. � One � Our Father � and ten � Hail
Marys �
Then Jesus said :
� Say the
whole rosary, you and the people who say it with you. �
Dictated very
slowly, gravely and firmly :
- Mercy, my God,
on those who blaspheme You : forgive them, they know not what they do,
- Mercy, my God,
for the scandal in the world : deliver them from the spirit of Satan,
- Mercy, my God,
on those who run away from You : give them appreciation for the Holy
Eucharist,
- Mercy, my God,
on those who will come repentant to the Glorious Cross : may they find
there Peace and Joy in God Our Saviour,
- Mercy, my God,
so that your Kingdom may come, but save souls, there is still time... for the
time is drawing near, see, I am coming... Amen. Come, Lord Jesus. �
Madeleine was
in tears. Jesus looked at her sadly while she recited the rosary. After it, He
said :
� Lord, pour
out on the whole world the treasures of Your Infinite Mercy. �
� Be so kind
as to repeat this :
� Vos amici mei
estis, si feceritis quae Ego praecipio vobis...
Translation : � You are My
friends, if you do what I command you. �
Each time that
you bear witness in my Name, be so good as to repeat this. �
Madeleine said :
� Lord, I shall do as You will. �
11th
APPARITION
In the Chapel,
Jesus took the place of the Blessed Sacrament. There was neither altar nor
monstrance. The Lord appeared quite near to Madeleine, slightly raised, His
feet resting on a flat stone with some pebbles beside it. His right foot a
little forward, uncovered nearly to the ankle, the left foot mostly hidden by
the robe, which was held in by a cord. The neckline, which was round and
gathered, revealed the neck, the sleeves were rather wide like an alb, the robe
was all in one. His hair, rather long, fell to His shoulders, His hands were
full of light, like His countenance, which was marvellous, everything else was
white. His look was love and kindness shining like the sun.
� I
underline this phrase, I have it from Jesus, � wrote
Madeleine.
He smiled at
her, His hands stretched out in welcome. Madeleine genuflected, bowed to Him,
then knelt down and made the sign of the Cross.
� I do it
automatically, without Him asking me to : doubtless it is He who makes me
do it : I have to do it, � explained Madeleine.
He stayed some
moments without speaking. She marvelled at this vision, and He said :
� Tell the
people here to say with you the prayer I have taught them, followed by a decade
of the rosary :
- Mercy, my God,
on those who blaspheme You : forgive them, they know not what they do,
- Mercy, my God,
for the scandal of the world : deliver them from the spirit of Satan,
- Mercy, my God,
on those who run away from You : give them appreciation for the Holy
Eucharist.
He who does the
will of my Father and who eats this Bread will live for ever in this Light...
- Mercy, my God,
on those who will come repentant to the Glorious Cross : may they find
there Peace and Joy in God Our Saviour,
- Mercy, my God,
so that your Kingdom may come, but save souls, there is still time... for the
time is drawing near, see, I am coming... Amen.
Come, Lord Jesus. �
Jesus quietly
recited the decade of the rosary with Madeleine, who waited for each Hail Mary,
and who wrote :
� It was so
moving to say the rosary with Jesus, that I had never said it before so slowly. �
Then Jesus said :
� Lord, pour
out on the whole world the treasures of Your infinite Mercy. �
Madeleine
observed :
� I believe
I did not repeat this phrase so absorbed was I by the wonderful presence of
Jesus. I could stay endlessly admiring Him without saying anything, or asking
for anything ; besides, there is nothing to ask ; I neither hear nor
move, and when Jesus is there, I am no longer on this earth. I neither see nor
think of anything round me... no words can explain what I feel... one has the
impression that in this clear light one could see to the depths of the universe
or of eternity.
I can assure
anyone who doubts, that there is certainly another world than the one we see,
and the one we do not see is the more marvellous. �
Jesus added :
� Say this
aloud : � The Glorious Cross�
Here He looked
round at those present :
�raised on the
high ground, must be comparable to the city of
And with a
grave expression :
� Thus is
the Sign of the Son of
At a hundred
metres from the site of the Glorious Cross in the direction of the right arm
dig down, water will come out there. You will all come and wash as a sign of
purification... �
Leaning towards
Madeleine, without telling her to say it aloud :
� Always be
joyful, don't bewail the general cataclysm of this generation, because all this
must happen. But behold the Sign of the Son of Man in the sky. And now the time
of the nations must be accomplished. All will beat their breasts. After the
evangelisation of the whole world, then I shall return in glory. �
He looked at
Madeleine, smiled and disappeared.
12th
APPARITION
In the Chapel,
Jesus appeared with His hands open, lifted His arms in the form of a Cross, His
head bent slightly towards the right as though He were about to be crucified ;
there were no wounds - in fact I have never seen His wounds. He said :
� Dozul�
will be, henceforth, a blessed and holy town... You are living in a time of
supreme effort by Evil against Christ. Satan has been let out of his prison. He
has taken possession of the whole earth. �
Jesus always
speaks to me very slowly. That day, His voice was very, very grave. I was very
sad to see Him like that. Then He said to me :
� Gog and Magog, their number is incalculable. Whatever happens, do
not worry. All will be thrown into the fire for eternity... Blessed are they
who are captivated only by the Supreme God. �
Then Jesus
lowered His arms and hands and resumed his usual position, that is with His
hands held out towards me, and He said :
� This
message is for you :
� Blessed
the one who is captivated only by the Supreme God, for My Father is only
Goodness. He forgives the greatest sinner at the last moment of His life...
Tell those who are dying repentant, that the greater the sin, the greater is My
Mercy. At the very moment when a soul leaves its body, it finds itself in this
splendid Light. Tell them - Jesus' words. �
Jesus smiled at
her for a long while, left her a serious message for the Bishop, and told her
something concerning herself personally...
Then Jesus disappeared.
Jesus did not
come.
Madeleine
waited a long time. At
� My Jesus if you
knew how I love you ! and He knows... �
13th
APPARITION
Madeleine, who
came at about 2.00 p.m. to do some ironing at the Convent, first went to the
Chapel to adore Jesus. She left and came back about 3.00 p.m., � as though
something impelled me � ; she felt riveted to her place,
inclined to stay ther indefinitely ; she heard
4.15 p.m. chime...
She was about to
begin the last decade of the rosary, when she suddenly became blind, felt her
heart pounding and cried out to the priest who, at that moment, was there with
Sister M.
� What's
happening to me ? I can't see any more... I'm frightened !... what
time is it ?... I want to go home. �
She heard the
priest come to her. He said later :
� I
came near her, and she certainly gave every sign of being
blind ; she seemed to be quite lost in darkness, her eyes without light,
her face wan, confused and panicky.
� I tried to
reassure her, thinking that it was the first episode of a mystical phenomenon
rather than an unexpected trial. �
� Just
wait a few moments it will pass. I asked Sister M. to fetch Sister B. who came
immediately. �
However
Madeleine was not reassured. She wrote later :
� I said to
myself : you can see that it's not he who is in my place ! I asked
myself what would become of me, I thought of my family, my children... how
miserable I felt. Jesus did tell me that I should suffer for sinners one day
after a visit. He didn't tell me I would become blind. He told me what would
happen to my body and how, particularly, I would suffer in spirit... what I
said was out of fright...
I didn't think,
either, that it came from Jesus, it wasn't the time, because before it was 7
o'clock in the evening when I saw Him.
Then in this
terrible anguish, in the darkness, not only of sight but of spirit, joy flooded
my being. �
The priest said :
� her
eyes which were dull recovered their sparkle, her sorrow was transformed into an
immense joy, and indescribable peace. �
She wrote :
� I imagine
it's the same for someone suffering on his deathbed : when the soul leaves
its body, it suffers no more, but suddenly finds itself in this gentleness,
this spiritual light, it is transfigured with Jesus. �
Then the light
appeared as usual in place of the Blessed Sacrament, still more beautiful,
more shining, and purer than usual ...
Madeleine, who
was at the back of the Chapel thought :
� I am in
His hands, we are all in His hands, He is Master and does what He wills with us ;
we must thank Him for all the graces He gives us, if we can see, hear, walk, if
we have health and are happy, it is thanks to Him, and Him alone. He can take
all that from us in an instant... �
And Jesus
appeared, His right hand on his Heart, the left hanging down the side of His
body. He smiled at her and said :
� Why are
you afraid ? Why do you doubt ? I am here ! �
She answered :
� Lord, I
was afraid because I thought I was going blind... �
He said :
� Tell them
that everyone on earth is like that - in darkness. �
And then
without telling her to say it aloud :
� Kiss the
ground three times in penitence for the lack of Faith. �
which she did.
Then Jesus,
with a slow gesture, took His hand from His Heart, held it out to her making a
sign for her to come nearer and at the same time He said :
� Come up
here and greet Me. �
Madeleine went
on her knees very near Him and bowed as He taught her.
He said, with
His hand on His Heart :
� Be so kind
as to repeat this :
� Ecce Dominus
noster cum virtute veniet et illuminabit oculos servorum Suorum. Laetamini, laetamini
in Domino, laetamini cum Magdalena. Paratum cor ejus : � Speravi in Domino, ut se simplicitas prodit amabilis. �
Translation :
� See Our Lord will come with power and will enlighten the eyes of
His servants. Rejoice, rejoice in the Lord, rejoice with Madeleine. Her heart
is ready : � I have hoped in the Lord, so that a loving simplicity
may reflect Him. �
Then without
telling her to repeat it aloud :
� Every time
you return to your place after each Communion, put your left hand on your
heart, and your right hand across it. �
While He
explained it, Jesus made the gesture ... He smiled at her for a few instants
and disappeared.
First Friday, February 1974
Jesus did not
appear.
14th
APPARITION
The priest,
three Sisters, and four ladies were present in the Chapel.
� Here is
the Light �, said Madeleine.
Jesus appeared
as usual in the same place as though to welcome Madeleine. He smiled at her for
a few moments ; He raised His eyes to heaven, with a grave and faraway look.
He said :
� Be so good
as to repeat this : �
He raised His
arms in a cross, a little bit higher, and said very slowly, each phrase being
repeated by Madeleine.
� Ecce cujus
imperti(*) Nomen est in aeternum. Quae videt Me, videt
et Patrem Meum, Magdalena ! � �Annuntiate virtutes ejus qui vos de tenebris vocabit in admirabile Lumen Suum. Nolite timere, Deum benedicite, et cantate Illi. �
Translation :
� Behold Him whose Name is of eternal Reign. Who sees Me sees My
Father. Madeleine ! Announce the marvels of Him who has called you from
darkness into His admirable Light. Don't be afraid, bless the Lord and sing to
Him �
Jesus continued :
� I am the
Light of the world, and the Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did
not understand Me. �
� Penitence,
penitence, penitence, kiss the ground three times in penitence for the lack of
faith in the world. �
Then He assumed
His usual position :
� Today
Jesus of Nazareth, the Risen Son of Man, is visiting me for the eighth time.
His hands, His face shine like the sun, His clothes are brilliantly white, His
look is Love and Kindness. Love your neighbour as I love you ; your look
should be love and kindness for each one of you. Kiss someone present with love
and charity. �
Madeleine
kissed the first person there, it was Sister M. de l'A.,
superior general of B.
Then Jesus
added :
� This
gesture is a sign of love and reconciliation for the whole world. Rejoice,
Mary, said the Archangel Gabriel at the Conception of the Son of Man. �
Then in a very
grave voice :
� Truly I
say to you, today it is the same. Rejoice, because the time is near when the
Son of Man will come back in glory. Rejoice, rejoice in the Lord without
ceasing, may your joy be known to all men because of the words you have just
heard, because of My Name. �
Then some
moments after :
� Let each
of you, in the silence of your heart, ask God for the grace you desire ;
this very day it will be granted you. �
Madeleine
stayed some moments in silence. Then she listened to the very serious words
Jesus said to her. She did not dare to repeat them because of their gravity ;
she confided them to the priest on leaving the Chapel.
In the same
attitude, Jesus went on :
� Tell the
Church that she must renew her message of PEACE to the whole world, because the
hour is grave. Satan is directing the world, he seduces minds, makes them
capable of destroying humanity in a few moments. If humanity does not resist
him, I shall give him leave to act, and it will be a catastrophe, such as
has not been since the Deluge, and this will be before the end of the century.
All those who come to repent at the foot of the Glorious Cross will be saved. Satan
will be destroyed ; thereafter it will be only Peace and Joy. �
Then He
disappeared.
15th
APPARITION
In the Chapel
the halo of light formed in place of the monstrance, then Jesus appeared, His
hands outstretched as though to welcome Madeleine, who was lost in admiration
of Him. � It is so wonderful. �
He smiled at
her.
She asked Him
aloud :
� If you
are Christ, why do I never see your Wounds ? �
The priest had
told her to ask this question.
Jesus continued
to smile at her.
She wrote :
� What a
mysterious sweetness I felt at that moment, I didn't feel I was any longer on
earth. �
Jesus then
raised His right hand and said :
� Peace be
with you ! �
� Say this
aloud :
Then, reverting
to His usual position and no longer smiling, He said :
� Jesus asks :
why this anxiety, why do these thoughts arise in You ? You, priests who
have the charge of accomplishing what I ask of you, is it easier to cry miracle
on seeing water springing from the hill, than to hear the Lord's servant saying
words she does not understand ? Men of little faith, remember My Words. �
Jesus' voice
was severe :
� Those who
come in my Name will speak languages unknown to them. �
After a little
silence, and without telling her to repeat it :
� Don't have
any doubt, get up, touch My Hands. �
Madeleine rose,
Jesus offered her His left hand, then His right hand.
She wrote :
� So I
took His two hands in mine. �
The people
present saw Madeleine stretch out her hands, to the right and then to the left,
on each side of the monstrance as though to take Christ's Hands.
He said to me :
� Do not
doubt any more. A spirit has no hand, no flesh. �
Madeleine went
back to her place and knelt down.
Jesus said :
� Say this
to them : (She repeated it aloud) Do not doubt any
longer, it is indeed the Risen Jesus that I am seeing today for the seventh
time(*). I have just touched His Hands. �
(*) Note :
The 14th,
15th and 16th apparitions present some confusion
concerning the manner of counting � visits � or � visions �
of Our Lord.
- at the 14th
was said : � Jesus is visiting me for the 8th time �,
and here the 7th apparition is counted as a visit.
- at the 15th
was said : � I see Him for the 7th time �, and here the 7th
apparition is not counted, nor is the 13th apparition where
Madeleine did not see.
- at the 16th
was said : � He visits me for the 17th time � and
here the 7th apparition is counted as 2 visits of Christ in
Glory, and the 6 first visions of the Glorious Cross are counted as visits (6 +
2 + 8 + the 16th = 17times).
Then in
response to the wish of those who did not know where to dig the pool, Madeleine
asked aloud :
� Lord,
where must we dig to find the water ? �
He answered :
� The
Glorious Cross must be raised on the high mound, nearest to the limit of the
Dozul� territory, at the exact spot where there is a fruit tree, The Tree of
Sin, because the Glorious Cross will liberate from all sin. Its arms must
extend to the East and the West. Each arm must measure 123 meters and its
height be six times as much. It is from the radius of 123 meters, space
occupied by the Cross, that the 100 meters must be measured. Then, dig a pool
2.00 x 1.50 meter and 1 meter deep. Make an enclosure. Water will
well up. �
Then Jesus
added :
� If your
heart is dry, then there will be little water, and few will be saved. �
Then, He
said :
� Vos amici mei
estis si feceritis quae Ego praecipio vobis, dixit Dominus �
Translation :
� You are My friends if you do what I command you, says the Lord. �
He added :
� Put your
left hand on your heart and the right hand over it. �
Then Jesus
disappeared and Madeleine went back to her place.
She wanted to
shout out her joy, she wept with joy and said to the priest and another person
present, as they left the Chapel :
� Jesus is
really alive. Risen in the flesh, I touched His hands. They are hands of flesh
like ours, they are warm... I want to sing... �
At her request
they sang the Magnificat.
� I have
been ordered to say nothing, one must obey the priests and bishops. That is
what has restrained me. I would have liked to shout out my joy to everyone, so
as to give the joy of the Risen Jesus to all who doubt. �
Good Friday, April 12th 1974
After agreement
between Sister B. and the owner of the meadow, three men came in the afternoon
to dig the pool. It was cold and on a spirit stove at the bottom of the hole
being excavated, Sister B. warmed up some coffee for the volunteers�
16th
APPARITION
Jesus appeared,
His hands extended towards Madeleine. He smiled at her and she was very happy ;
she would have stayed indefinitely in His presence.
He said :
� Say this
aloud : The priest is not mistaken ; this crooked tree is the symbol
of sin. Pull it up before any fruit appears, and make haste to have the
Glorious Cross raised in its place, because the Glorious Cross will free from
all sin. �
Madeleine said :
� A moment
later Jesus joined His hands on His Breast. He looked at me sorrowfully, I saw
two tears flow from His eyes. I wept then ; Jesus was so sad. �
Then He said :
� Woe to the
whole of humanity if there is no water in the pool within fifty days of its
completion, because Satan is hindering the purification of most people.
Remember what I said, I shall leave him free to act because of the lack of
faith. �
A moment later :
� Tell the
Church to send the Message all over the world and to hurry in erecting, at the
place indicated, the Glorious Cross and, at its foot, a sanctuary. Everyone
will come there to repent and find Peace and Joy. The Glorious Cross, or the
Sign of the Son of Man, is the announcement of the approaching return in glory
of the Risen Jesus. When this Cross will have been raised from the ground,
I will draw everything to Myself. �
Then :
� Find
eleven persons in this blessed and holy town ; they will be My disciples.
They will beg from door to door in My Name for the elevation of the Glorious
Cross. And here are the orders which each disciple will respect :
- work until the
erection of the Glorious Cross,
- be humble,
patient, charitable, so that you may be recognized as My disciples,
- don't look for
any personal advantage, only to have the Glorious Cross raised, because everyone
who comes to it to repent will be saved.
Then, without
specifying that she should repeat it :
� Tell the
priest that I am visiting you for the seventeenth time, for the Glorious Cross
is also the Risen Jesus. �
Then He
disappeared.
Note :
The priest and Madeleine had in vain
climbed the hill together to try and pinpoint the exact site of the Cross. They
then made use of electric torches pointed towards the sky.
Madeleine stayed at the window from which
she had six times seen the Cross, and she directed the priest as he climbed the
hill. This brought him to a little round knoll, surrounded by a ditch which is
in fact, at the limit of the Dozul� territory. There remained to establish the
exact spot on this knoll where the Lord asked for the implantation of the
Cross.
The priest thought that this could well be
at the crooked apple tree. But he wasn't sure and could not sleep that night
thinking about it.
Jesus here confirms how right he was.
The pool had
been dug by counting 223 metres on a string tied to the trunk of the apple
tree. The appearance of water in this pool became the essential preoccupation.
They even forgot to go to the site of the Cross. They made a novena after
Pentecost for this water which still didn't come.
One night
Madeleine and Sister M. dreamed that the water had appeared in the pool. They
told the priest in the morning, and he replied : � What beautiful
dreams you have, Sister ! � The previous evening he had seen that
there was no water in the pool. All the same, Madeleine climbed the hill, and
saw that the water really was there, a lot of it. It was 30 centimetres
deep. They inquired at the meteorological station which replied that it hadn't
rained during the night, and that such a depth of water could not be obtained
by a rainfall.
17th
APPARITION
Madeleine did not expect to see Jesus because it
was not the First Friday. But every morning she went to the Chapel to visit
Jesus after taking the children to school.
Shortly before communion, Sister B. came to
fetch the priest for a sick person. He didn't expect to be absent long.
Suddenly, the halo of light appeared in place of
the tabernacle. It was wider and seemed lower than the previous times, and it
seemed to be awaiting someone.
Madeleine said to Sister B. whom she fetched :
� There is someone there, but it
isn't Jesus � on seeing someone appear, � it's someone I don't know. �
Madeleine added :
� I felt present in the Chapel
whereas before I was totally absorbed by the vision of Christ, unaware of
everything round me... �
� This unknown being held a kind
of banner, on top a little cross ; this as well as the shaft was of the
same colour and brilliance as gold. And below the cross a pennant in cloth, it
seemed, carried three words of which I thought I glimpsed the first and the
last : �QUIS... DEUS. � The lower end of the shaft was pointed
like a lance or a pike. The personage had short curly hair, resembling a
soldier's. His tunic was short ; His right hand held the middle of the
shaft, a kind of thong was fastened round his calves. �
I asked him : � Who are
you ? �
� I greet you �, and he bowed his head to
me.
� I am Michael the
God has sent
me.
You will see
the Mysteries of the Redeemer and you will repeat each phrase, one after the
other, as I dictate them to you. �
Madeleine said : � If God has sent you, I will obey
you. �
Still visible, the
� Per Mysterium
Sanctae Incarnationis Tuae. �
� By the Mystery of Thy Holy
Incarnation �
And he desappeared.
Madeleine said :
� I saw someone kneeling, robed
all in white. I thought it was an angel. He was looking at a beautiful young
girl, with a kerchief on her head. On seeing the angel, she bowed, and stayed
with her head bent. She put one hand over the other on her breast, in the same
way that the Lord taught me. I particularly noticed this gesture which struck
me. A few seconds
later, everything disappeared. �
Then I saw the Angel again who said :
� Per Nativitatem
Tuam. �
� By Thy Nativity �
The
Madeleine then saw a baby in a reed cradle, or
on straw arranged like a cradle ; there were many people around in long
robes, who seemed to admire Him... then everything faded.
She saw the
Before disappearing he said :
� Per Baptismum et Sanctum Jejunium Tuum. �
� By Thy Baptism and Holy
Fast �
Jesus was accompanied by a tall man, though not
as tall as Jesus. He was dressed in a kind of cape or shorthaired fur. I saw
water flowing like a river. This man held a ladle by its handle, he took water
from the river, and poured it over Jesus' head ; a few seconds later :
Jesus climbed an uphill path, and at the top, sat down. He crossed His hands,
raised His eyes to heaven, as though praying, then everything disappeared.
She saw the
� Per Crucem
et Passionem Tuam. �
� By Thy Cross and Thy
Passion �
then disappeared.
On his right shoulder,
Jesus painfully carried a very heavy Cross, walking in the middle of a path. On
each side of the path, a crowd seemed to be laughing. Some raised their hands
as though to throw something at Him.
Jesus didn't fall in spite
of the weight of the Cross. I was surprised ; several times I thought He
was going to collapse on the road, poor Jesus. Then the picture faded.
The
� Per Mortem et Sepulturam Tuam. �
� By Thy Death and Thy Burial �
before
disappearing.
Madeleine saw Jesus
on the Cross, apparently dead, the head fallen forward, the torso naked, a
large wound on the right side, and under the wound a thin rivulet of what
seemed to be coagulated blood. Three persons were at the foot of the Cross, one
on each side, standing, and looking at Jesus' face with grief.
The one in the
middle knelt and clasped the foot of the Cross with both hands, as though she
wanted to kiss Jesus' feet, nailed to a wooden support.
Madeleine wept.
Again she saw the
� Per Sanctam
Resurrectionem Tuam. �
� By Thy Holy Resurrection �
At that moment, Madeleine
saw Jesus alive, and a great joy took possession of her. He looked as He did
the very first time, on the evening of December 27th1972, smiling,
His hands extended towards her in a gesture of welcome and He said :
� I am Jesus of Nazareth, the Son
of Man Risen, and He added : from the dead.
Look at My Wounds. �
With His right Hand, He drew away the right side
of his robe, even though it had no opening.
Madeleine then saw a large wound but without
blood. On the back of his right hand she saw a small hole. His left hand, held
out to her, also had a hole in the palm, and the same on each foot.
Then He said :
� Come near and touch My Side. �
Madeleine rose, and put out her right hand, and
with the first and second fingers touched the edge of the Wound, which seemed
deep.
She was very moved and said :
� Lord, you suffered so much for
us. �
She was saddened by the thought that Jesus had
suffered so much for the world, the sin of the world, the ingratitude of the
world, for all of us, poor sinners.
She knelt down again, and Jesus took up His
usual position, His hands held out to her. His robe was back in place.
He said to her :
� Say this aloud. �
He dictated each sentence slowly, and she
repeated it.
� Jesus asks you to let the whole
world know the prayer He taught you. He asks that
the Glorious Cross and the Sanctuary should be raised by the end of the Holy
Year. �
There is a Holy Year every twenty-five years,
and 1975 was a Holy Year.
(5th March 1983 - 22nd
April 1984, is an exceptional Holy Year, announced by Pope John-Paul II,
commemoration of 1950th anniversary of Christ's Resurrection and our
Redemption.)
� For it will be the last Holy
Year. Every year let a solemn feast be celebrated on the day when Madeleine saw
the Cross for the first time. Everyone who, full of trust, will have come here
to repent, will be saved in this life and for eternity. Satan will have no more
power over them. �
A few moments later and in a very grave voice :
� Truly I tell you, My Father has
sent Me to save you and to give you Peace and Joy. Know that I am Love and
Compassion. �
And He adds :
� This is the end of My Message. �
Jesus was still there when the
� Per Admirabilem
Ascensionem Tuam �
� By Thy Admirable Ascension �
At that moment Jesus raised His right Hand over
Madeleine and said :
� Peace be with you and with all
who approach you. �
Jesus lowered His Hand.
Madeleine saw Him rise gently and smoothly and
then disappear.
Again Madeleine saw the
� Per Adventum
Spiritus Sancti Paracliti. �
� By the coming of the Holy
Spirit the Paraclete �
He stayed there and said :
� Jesus has just left you.
His Message is ended but you will see Him again. �
He added the following which Madeleine repeated
aloud :
� Per cujus
imperti Nomen est in aeternum, ab omni malo libera
nos Domine. �
� By Him
Whose Name is of eternal Reign, from all evil deliver us, � Lord ! �
The

slowness in accomplishing their task and for their incredulity. God has asked
them to tell the world the marvels of Him who called Madeleine from darkness to
His admirable Light, for the Glorious Cross will adorn the town of

When Madeleine was holding the candle, the
� Put the lighted candle on
the spot from which Christ has just left you. Let all who come to this chapel
imitate you. �
A moment later :
� You have the whole day to
tell the priest and people who want to hear you ; you will remember
everything, they will be surprised at your memory. Let the priest find one
person, who will reread the Message three times to him and repeat it to him ;
he will not be able to. �
The
� Write what I am going to
say to you when you get home. You will hand this writing to the priest when he
says to you :
� I have an appointment with

� Make a novena beginning on
the feast of the Sacred Heart. This novena will consist of one mystery a day
-the mysteries which have been taught to you. Then go and see the Bishop. You
will tell him that God has sent you. Give him the entire Message, that he may
know it fully. The doors will open, the Bishop's heart will melt. �
So, in the meantime, Madeleine carefully kept
this writing.
On Wednesday June 12th the priest
came to tell her :
� I have an appointment with
the Bishop next week. �
She said :
� That's the week of the
Sacred-Heart. �
The priest : � I
don't know about that. �
Madeleine : � I'm
certain of it. �
There and then she gave him her writing, the �note � which

She felt impelled to go and see the Bishop, and
it was indeed the week of the Sacred Heart. Altogether they made a Novena
beginning on the feast of the Sacred Heart.
Madeleine wanted to go and see the Bishop.
� But one can't go and see
the Bishop like that, I have to make an appointment �, said the priest, � you
must obey. �
Madeleine wrote :
� One must always obey, but I
longed to disobey, because I know that God gave me this urge. An inexplicable
urge gave me the courage to go there. My disappointment was very great. �
Madeleine wept about it, certain that the Bishop
would have received her. To please men she had disobeyed God.
� I think God reproaches me for
it, � she said.
She had no means of transport, except a
motor-bicycle, and the Bishop lived quite far away.
She went three months later : � There was
no more urge, the grace had passed by, � she said after.

a faraway voice, coming from the site of the Cross :

Madeleine knelt
down, turned towards the voice :
� Tell
the priest to cement three sides of the pool, but not the bottom. On the fourth
side, that of the width, at the end, cement twenty five centimetres, then make
three steps. Let all come in procession, and not fear to wash in this dusty
water, for know that you are dust, and into dust you will return. But your
spirit will be purified. This water is not a spring, it comes out of the earth.
Happy the man
who will come to be purified and not fear to soil himself. �
20th
APPARITION
Sister MM. was
with Madeleine when she cried out with joy :
� There's
the Light ! �
Then, to the
left of the Blessed Sacrament, appeared St Michael.
He said :
� Greetings ! �
Madeleine went
on her knees before him, a little to the left of the Blessed Sacrament. He said :
� Do not
come on your knees to me, but before Him whom you have come to adore. �
Madeleine rose,
and knelt down before the Blessed Sacrament. At that moment she saw luminous
rays stream from the Host. They seemed alive, renewing themselves endlessly as
they left the Host, as though from a luminous well-spring. It was difficult to
put into words.
St Michael was
somewhat in the background :
� Do not
grieve over little David's eyes. If God wills he should be like that, it is not
because his eyes are closed, but because his parents� eyes are shut to the
Light of Faith. Light a candle on the spot where the Lord left you last time. �
During these
words the Sacred-Host never stopped projecting illuminating rays. Then
everything faded.
Note :
Little David, with the bad eyes, is
Madeleine's grandson.

At the moment
the priest lifted the monstrance for the blessing, the halo of light formed and
the Host sparkled with rays.
Madeleine heard :
� Say this
aloud. � (She repeated it aloud.)
� "Dicite in nationibus*..."
Tell all nations that God has spoken by the mouth of His servant. He has
revealed to her that the Great Tribulation is near, for she has seen that the
Sign of the Son of Man which rises in the East is forthwith in the West... This
Sign of the Son of Man is the Lord's Cross. I tell you truly, the time has come
for the world to repent, FOR A UNIVERSAL CHANGE IS NEAR, such as has never been
from the beginning of the world until this day, and will never be again. When
the calamitous drought already foretold, falls upon the world, only the pool
God has caused to be dug will hold water, not for drinking, but for you to wash
as a sign of purification. And you will all come and repent at the foot of the
Glorious Cross, which God is asking the Church to raise.
*
Translation : Tell all nations !
Then at that
moment, all the nations of the earth will lament and it is at this Cross that
they will find Peace and Joy.
After these day
of distress then will appear in the heavens the Son of Man Himself, with great
majesty and power, to gather the chosen from the four corners of the earth.
Blessed the
repentant for they will have eternal life.

you, heaven and earth will pass, but My Words will never pass. �

Madeleine alone, at the moment when the priest in a silent prayer, on behalf of
the Bishop, was asking for a sign :
� Tell them
there will be no other signs than the Sign of God Himself ; the only
visible sign is the attitude of His servant and her words which are the words
of God, and these words are irrefutable.
If man does not
erect the Cross, I shall make it appear but there will be no more time. �
Then the light disappeared.
22nd
APPARITION
In the Chapel
at 3.00 p.m. Jesus appeared preceded by the halo of light but He said
nothing.

that the Lord would come back very Friday in Lent.

APPARITION
The priest was
there. At 3.10 p.m. Jesus appeared smiled and with a grave manner
said :
� Tell the
priest that it is in the Name of God and by Him that you have prophesied. Then,
tell him to take the Message to those who have the charge of carrying it out
with confidence and humility, because there is little time left to do what I am
asking. �
He smiled at
me, and I said to Him :
� What joy
for me to see You again ! how many times more will I see You ? �
He smiled a
long time at me but did not answer.
After some
moments everything faded.
24th
APPARITION
Jesus appeared
His Hands hanging down each side. He smiled at Madeleine, He put His left Hand
on His beast, raised the right Hand as through to bless her. His Face was so
kind, His expression and His eyes full of extreme goodness and great
gentleness.
After a few
moments He said :
� Tell the
priest : I wish to pour My Mercy into human hearts, first for those who
know My Message and then for the whole world.
Those who have
the charge of raising the Glorious Cross must not be blind, for there will be
no other sign than this prophetess who has been called from darkness into
Light.
Truly, there will
not be any other sign, for this generation is the most hypocritical and the most
wicked. �
Before leaving
Madeleine, He lowered His Hands and Arms, smiled at her and disappeared.
25th
APPARITION
Jesus appeared,
smiled a Madeleine, and while looking at the priest said :
� Tell the
priest that this town, which is blessed and sacred, will be protected from
every calamity, particularly each household which says daily the prayer I
taught them, followed by a decade of the rosary. �
Then the Lord
stopped looking in the priest's direction. He looked at Madeleine, extended His
hands towards her, the right further forward, and said :
� It is to
you that I am speaking (smiling) : � be humble,
but don't accept any help for yourself. You have nothing to expect from this
world, but your joy will be immense in the next. �
Jesus lowered
His Hans and disappeared.
After each
apparition, the priest informed her how long it lasted, for Madeleine lost all
sense of time.
She had the
feeling, in fact, that she had not aged, that she returned to earth and the
shadows.
26th
APPARITION
Behold the
Light ! The Lord appeared the right hand on His breast, the other hangning down.
He smiled at
Madeleine and said :
� Persevere,
Madeleine, in prayer, fasting and abstinence. Persevere without fear of the
mockery and slander which will break out against you, for few believe in the
words you have spoken, but the priest can bear witness that your face reflects
the invisible Presence. After these days of fasting, you will take on a heavy
task. �
Madeleine felt
a little afraid of this task and said to the Lord :
� What if I
cannot accomplish this task ? �
� If I give
you a task to do, it is because you will be able to do it. �
Before leaving
her He said :
� Cross your
hands on your breast as I taught you. �
The Lord then
smiled and disappeared.
Madeleine
wrote :
� His look
is full of kindness, of an inexpressible sweetness ; nobody has a look like
that, limpid, more limpid than the look of a child. His face is without
wrinkles, but the features are marked. He seems to be about thirty years old.
Seeing Him, one has the impression that He is both flesh and spirit � and what
a Spirit ! Purity, limpidity, holiness shine out thought His body. When He
speaks, He doesn�t search for words, never makes a mistake, never hesitates, as
pure and clear a the Cross I saw ; clarity without shadow, freshness
without wrinkles, limpidity without stain. Impossible to define, as impossible
to express as my interior joy in the communion, when I felt His Presence for
the first time. �
27th
APPARITION
Jesus appeared
as usual to Madeleine, His hands extended in welcome and said :
� Begin
tomorrow a novena to prepare yourself for the task I shall ask of you. This
novena consists of one mystery a day, followed by the prayer I taught you and a
decade of the rosary. Say it with recollection and humility. �
Madeleine asked :
� Lord,
when will you let me know the task I have to do ? �
� Good
Friday ! �
He smiled at
Madeleine and disappeared.
He had looked
at her with a grave air, but with extreme sweetness and goodness.
28th
APPARITION
Good
Madeleine went
to the church at about 11.00 a.m. then again at 3.00 p.m. for the
Stations of the Cross, and at about 5.00 p.m. but Our Lord did not appear.
She dreaded the
evening because of the big congregation. At about
Madeleine saw
the Light at the top of the church beyond the high altar, which was now
invisible to her. She went towards the Light, and knelt down before the Lord
whose hands were held out to her.
� Say this
aloud : Why do you weep over the death of Jesus Crucified, when today He
is living among you ?
� Pray
rather, for those who today, even more than in the past, persecute Him.
� Go back
three steps ; you will repeat what I dictate, your arms crossed. �
Jesus crossed
His hands and lifted His eyes to heaven as though praying ; His eyes were
grave and sad, I felt His sadness.
- Mercy my
God, on those who blaspheme You, forgive them they know not what they do.
- Mercy my
God, for the scandal in the world, deliver them from the spirit of Satan.
- Mercy my
God, for those who today even more that in the past, persecute You ; pour
your mercy into human hearts.
As Jesus
lowered His hands, Madeleine saw a sphere under His feet. He lifted His hands
quite high towards the congregation, and white and red rays poured from His
palms. He said to Madeleine :
� Say this
to them : (Madeleine repeated aloud) Know that Jesus
of Nazareth has triumphed over death, that His Reign is eternal, and that He is
coming to conquer the world and time. �
Madeleine was
filled with great joy. She said :
� I felt
that the Lord dominated the earth. It seemed to me that He came in power and
glory, for the sphere under His feet was the earth. �
She repeated
aloud Jesus� words :
� It is by
the Glorious Cross, which Madeleine saw three years ago today, it is by the
Glorious Cross which is the Sign of the Son of Man, that the world will be
saved.
Jesus who is at
this moment in your presence asks that you all go in procession to the place
where the Glorious Cross appeared. Go and repent ; you will find Peace and
Joy there. Jesus asks that every year a solemn feast be celebrated there -
on this day. �
� Notum fecit
Dominus a Magdalena salutare Suum. �
Translate :
� The Lord has made known His salvation by Madeleine. �
Then to
Madeleine alone :
� Write what
I am going to say when you get home. �
Jesus looked at
me and smiled. He held out His right hand towards me. The earth and the rays
had disappeared, His look was so gentle.
� You have
been chosen, Madeleine, to be the reflection of My Love. That is why you have
been set all on fire. After this wonderful day, will you be so kind as to carry
out an important task ? �
Madeleine said
aloud :
� May your
will be done. �
� Have
written out three hundred and twenty times the prayer I taught you, and be my
apostle.
Go and tell each
household in this town, right up to its borders, that Jesus of Nazareth has
triumphed over death, that His Reign is eternal, and that He is coming to
conquer the world and time.
� Say this
aloud : You are living in the times when every event is the Sign of the
written Word :
And without
telling Madeleine to repeat it aloud
� I want
them to say the prayer every day followed by a decade of the rosary. Each
household that says it with great confidence will be protected from every
cataclysm and then I will pour My Mercy into hearts.
If they ask you
who sent you, say that it is Jesus of Nazareth, the Risen Son of Man. Remember,
don't be afraid of humiliations, slander and mockery which will surge up round
you. You will be hated for My Name's sake, but persevere to the end. If you
wish, take someone with you. You have plenty of time to carry out this task.
Your family should not suffer from it, because this last Holy Year will not end
until after the raising of the Glorious Cross. But those who have the charge of
raising it should hurry, because the time is near. Do not return to a household
whose door has been closed to you.
Say this out loud ;
Sin came into the world because of man. This is why I ask man to erect the
Glorious Cross.
Tell them that
afterwards I will return in glory, and you will see Me as My servant sees Me. �
Then Jesus disappeared.
Madeleine rose
and found herself in church. When she turned round and saw all eyes on her, she
did not dare to go back to her place ; the priest made her a sign to go to
the side aisle.
Note :
After the celebration of the Passion at
Although the recommendation was respected,
it gave rise to false interpretations. This recommendation annulled the
preparation which Christ had just made with these people - and with others
later, - a preparation destined to facilitate the important task that He had
told Madeleine to carry out.

Madeleine being
alone in the Chapel.
Jesus appared with His hands out, smiled and said :
� Tell the

Then Jesus
smiled and disappeared.

alone : She saw, all of a sudden from her place, the Sacred Host send out
red and white rays constantly moving in perpetual renewal ; they were not
immobile like the sun's rays.

Message, nor a voice, however the monstrance had disappeared to give way to the
rays.
This lasted
about three minutes.
31st
APPARITION
Jesus appeared
with a look of great kindness :
� Tell the
Priest that the era when I resuscitated bodies is no more, but the moment has
come when I must resuscitate spirits. Those who claim, in the world today, to
resuscitate bodies and heal them in My Name, are not worthy of My Father in heaven
(*). �
� Madeleine,
go and proclaim My Message to Dozul�. The task which I have given you, you must
accomplish. Don't be afraid, I will give you the strength to do it. �
Then
smiling :
� My Father
has blessed and consecrated this town, and everyone
who will come and repent at the foot of the Glorious Cross, I will resuscitate
them in the spirit of My Father. They will find here Peace and Joy. �
and with a
serious air :
� The first nun,
who kisses you as you bring the Message, does not believe in the words you say.
She under-estimates you. Don't mind too much. Be charitable. �
Then Jesus
disappeared.
Note :
This unexpected
declaration of Jesus very much surprised Madeleine, who told the priest about
it. Now, the latter had just received that morning a letter from Anne, aged
fifteen, who lived at
� I do
not know you, but I would like you to know that, while spending the day of
Pentecost at Dozul�, I felt an urge to enter the church. Ever since I can think
only of the Christ of Dozul�. I am ill with leukaemia. They hide it from me,
but I know it all the same. But do not pray for my cure, but for the conversion
of my parents who have no faith. As for myself, I feel my heart is dying, while
my spirit is coming to life in Jesus my Saviour. �
all was clear.
32nd
APPARITION
Having come at
3.00 p.m., Madeleine was ready to leave. At 3.15 p.m. the Light
appeared, then Christ, His right hand held out towards her, the other hanging
down. He smiled and said :
� Ask the
Nun who does not live in this town, to be so kind as to come here on Friday.
Will she please bring writing materials. By your mouth, I will communicate a
Message to her. �
He smiled a
moment and disappeared.
33rd APPARITION
The priest had
just announced the third decade of the rosary.
The Light
appeared and then Jesus.
He looked at
Madeleine and then at Sister John of Arc who had come with writing materials :
� Say this
aloud : This is what the nun must write : this letter is addressed to
the Head of the Church. It is Jesus of Nazareth who is dictating it through the
mouth of His servant.
He says :
� Blessed
are those called by My Father who have found Peace and Joy on the
For the era when
I resuscitated bodies is no more, but the moment has come when I must
resuscitate spirits.
Understand this
well : In the days which preceded the Deluge, people didn't suspect
anything until the arrival of the flood which carried them all off. But today
you have been warned, you are living in the times of which I said :
On this earth
there will be disasters of all kinds : Iniquity is the cause of misery and
famine, nations will be in anguish, there will be portents and phenomena in
heaven and on the earth. So, be ready because Great Tribulation is near, such
as has never been since the beginning of the world until today, and which will
never be again.
I tell you, this
young generation will not pass before all this happens. But do not be afraid,
for behold in the heavens the Sign of the Son of Man which Madeleine saw
shining from the East to the West. You, Head of Churches, in truth I tell you,
it is by this Cross set up over the world, that nations will be saved.
My Father has
sent Me to save, and the moment has come when I must pour My mercy into human
hearts.
Then in a low
voice to Madeleine alone :
� My Message
must not sleep at the bottom of a drawer, but be Truth and Light for the whole
world. �
Then aloud :
� This
Glorious Cross must be raised by the end of the Holy Year. And this Holy Year
must be extended until the elevation of the Glorious Cross.
Thus ends My
Message. I order you to give it yourself to the Head of the Church, accompanied
by a
Then Jesus
disappeared.
The Message was
dictated so slowly that Sister J. had plenty of time to write it. She waited
for Bishop to order her to take it to the Holy
Father. Madeleine had forgotten its contents.
34th APPARITION
Friday September 19th1975
That day the
Mother Superior and Sister J. were to be received by the Bishop at
After a decade
of the rosary, Madeleine saw the Light at the tabernacle in the Chapel and
heard :
� Tell the
priest, the Nuns and two persons who know the Message to come here at
Then the Light
disappeared.
At the hour
fixed, the Light appeared, then Jesus. The 2 persons chosen by the Sisters were
there.
He said to
Madeleine :
� Peace be
with you. Make the sign of the Cross. �
Jesus crossed
His hands on His breast, raised His sad and grave look towards heaven and said :
� Father,
may your Will be done on this earth. �
His look was
very sad. He stayed like that a moment and then returned to His usual position.
He said to Madeleine while looking at those present.
� Say this
aloud : You priests and nuns entrusted with the Message, do not let
humanity run to perdition. I have asked you to work to have the Glorious Cross
raised. Can't you see that the moment has come because of the phenomena which
follow ? Time is passing, and My Message remains in darkness. If that is
so the number of saved will be small. But you, who have not carried out My
Father's Word, your chastisement will be great. Because it is by the number of
souls saved that you will be judged.
Don't act by
wisdom and reflection, but listen to the folly of the Message. Because it is by
this Message that it pleases God to save the world.
Do not be like
the Jews who ask for signs.
But by this
unique and definitive Message which God has revealed to His servant.
The words she has
said are not of human origin. But were taught her by the Spirit.
The Moment has
come when I must pour my Mercy into human hearts, but let those who have been
entrusted with the Message be convinced that it is they who are preventing Me
because they are keeping the world in ignorance. Remember, the days will be
shortened because of the elect, but woe to those who do not carry out the Word
of God. �
Then Jesus said
to her :
� Take off
your shoes and leave the Chapel, and walk until your feet are resting on earth.
Then come back here. �
Madeleine did
what Jesus asked her. When she was on her knees again before Him, He said to
her :
� This
ground of Dozul� which My Father has blessed and consecrated, we are not even
worthy to put a foot upon it. �
Once again
Jesus' face became radiant with goodness and sweetness.
He smiled and
said :
� I am the
God of goodness and love. My Mercy is Infinite. If my words today are cruel, it
is not in order to condemn you. On the contrary I want to save the world by My
Message. �
Then Jesus
disappeared. At that time that Madeleine wrote this, Monseigneur was asking the
two Sisters for : wisdom and reflection...
Jesus answered him here with sadness.
35th APPARITION
It was nearly
time for Benediction, the little chapel was full of people ; Madeleine's
joy was so great when she saw the Light that she could not help crying out :
� There's
the Light ! �
She got up and
went before the exposed Blessed Sacrament.
Jesus appeared,
His hands held out to her ; she saw only Him.
� It is so
beautiful, what an inexpressible sweetness. I can only see Jesus of Love, I am
no longer in the chapel, Nothing else exists, I think of nothing else, I can no
longer feel my body, I feel it is dead. When one dies I think that is how one
will feel. There will be nothing but my spirit united to that of Jesus. �
At this moment
Jesus places His Hand on His breast and says :
� Say aloud
what you are going to see :
With His left
Hand, Jesus draws aside his robe from his breast. Jesus smiled and explained
from His Heart flow red and white rays. His right hand is held out towards us :
The flames from
my Heart burn Me, says Jesus. More than ever I want to pour them
out on each of you. This what I promise the whole of humanity, once they know
My Message and put it into practice :
- I will
sweeten the bitterness into which the souls of sinners are plunged.
- I will
multiply graces in the souls of priests and nuns because it is through them
that My Message must be made known.
- I will
keep devout and faithful souls near to My Heart ; they comforted Me on the
way to
- As soon as
they know My Message, I will pour out the rays of My grace on pagans and all
those who do not know Me, yet.
- I will
draw the souls of heretics and apostates into the Unity of the Church.
- I will
receive children and humble souls into the shelter of My Heart, so that they
will cherish a special love for our Heavenly Father.
- I will
grant all sorts of Graces to those who, knowing My Message, will persevere to
the end.
- I will
relieve the souls in Purgatory ; My Blood will extinguish their burns.
- I will
bring warmth to the hardest hearts, to frozen souls, to those who wound My
Heart the most deeply.
- I promise
all those who come repentant to the foot of the Glorious Cross, and who say
every day the prayer that I have taught them, that in this life Satan will have
no more power over them, and that after a long period of sinfulness, in an
instant they will become pure and will be children of God for ever.
My Father, Whose
Goodness is infinite, wants to save humanity which is on the edge of the abyss.
You must prepare yourselves through this ultimate Message. Know that it will be
at the moment when you no longer believe in it, that the Message will be
accomplished, because you know neither the day nor the hour when I shall come
back in glory. �
Then Jesus took
up again His usual position and said :
� In twenty
days you will begin a novena ; it will end on the first Friday of the
month. I shall say every day the prayer I have just taught you. This novena
will prolong the Holy Year. �
� In twenty
days, yes, oh how happy I am... �
Red and white
rays flowed from the Lord's Heart while He was dictating His promises.
Madeleine
passed these twenty days in expectation, prayer and recollection. She counted
the days � like a young girl who awaits her fianc�. � She felt
united to this Jesus who is all Love, all Mercy. Her joy was great, a spiritual
joy which lifts up to heaven, and which she asked Jesus to share with all
unhappy, lonely people, with unbelievers.
She wasn't able
to sleep on this lovely Eve of Christmas 1975...
� How
beautiful was Christmas Day 1975 ! �

Madeleine
arrived at the chapel at
� God has
spoken to men. Let those who are entrusted with the Message listen to His
voice. Because of their lack of faith, the whole world will experience great
catastrophes, which will shake the four corners of the earth. What you are
experiencing now is only the beginning of sorrows. Humanity will not find
Peace, so long as it does not know My Message and put it into practice. �
Then Jesus
appeared and went on, Madeleine repeating :
� Would you
be so kind as to come here for eight consecutive days. You will make a novena
that I will dictate to you each day. My Father, Whose Goodness is infinite,
wants to make His Message known to the world, in order to avoid the
catastrophe. More than ever I want to pour a flood of My grace on all souls in
distress. And here is what I promise to each of these souls when they know My
Message and put it into practice. �
� The
first day �
At the moment
Jesus lifted His left hand to His heart and drew aside His robe ; red and
white rays burst forth. The other hand was held out to Madeleine, towards
everyone, towards the world. Madeleine repeated each sentence.
� I will
sweeten the bitterness into which the souls of sinners are plunged. �
Then Jesus said
to Madeleine :
� Say with
Me : Our Father... �
Jesus said it
all very slowly with Madeleine.
� Say three
times : Hail Mary... �
Madeleine
recited these alone
� Say :
� By your sorrowful Passion, Lord, have mercy on us and on the whole
world. Glory to God in the highest. Peace and Joy on earth to the men He loves. �
� You will
say this every day. �
Then Jesus
disappeared.

The Light, and
then the Lord appeared His left hand on His Heart. Red and white rays pour from
His Heart. He draws aside His robe, His right Hand is extended to the world.
Jesus waited after each phrase so that Madeleine repeated :
� The
second day �
� I will
multiply graces in the souls of priest and nuns, because it is through them
that My Message must be made known. �
Jesus
said :
� Our
Father... � Madeleine continued alone.
Jesus
added :

three times : Hail Mary... � Madeleine said
them alone.
Jesus
continued :

prayer alone.
Then :

And, as on the
day before :
� By your
sorrowful Passion, Lord, have mercy on us and on the whole world. Glory to God
in the highest. Peace and Joy on earth to the men He loves. �
� Make the
sign of the Cross �
� The rays
which pour from His Heart must spread over all repentant sinners, and all those
who call upon Him. � Madeleine commented.
39th APPARITION
The Light
appeared, then Jesus. His hands held out to Madeleine, He smiled :
� The
fourth day �
As each time,
with a slow movement of His left Hand, He revealed His Heart. At once red and
white rays burst forth ; He stretched out His right Hand of which the palm
was visible : Madeleine repeated what Jesus dictated :
� As soon as
they know My Message, I will pour out the rays of My grace on pagans and all
those who do not know Me, yet. �
� Our
Father... � Madeleine continued. � Who art
in heaven��
� 3 Hail
Mary... � Madeleine continued twice, she forgot the third time.
Then :
� By your
sorrowful Passion, Lord, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
Jesus held out
His hands, raised His eyes to heaven and said in a louder voice :
Glory to God in
the highest. Peace and Joy on earth to the men He loves. �
And looking at
Madeleine :
� Make the
sign of the Cross �
Madeleine came
to her senses, and her eyes of flesh no longer saw Christ.

Madeleine was
delayed, but she did not feel drawn as on other days until

fifth day �
Rays come out
of His Heart
� I will
draw the souls of heretics and apostates into the Unity of the Church. �
� Our
Father... �
� 3 Hail
Marys... � (three times)
Jesus said the
first words of each � Hail Mary �, perhaps because of her forgetfulness
the day before, according to Madeleine.
Madeleine goes
on repeating :
� By your
sorrowful Passion, Lord, have mercy on us and on the whole world. Glory to God
in the highest. Peace and Joy on earth to the men He loves. �

said :

were gently lowered, Jesus looked at me, smiled and disappeared �

The Light
appeared. Christ, who delayed a little, only appeared when Madeleine went on
her knees before the light. Red and white rays sprang from His Heart. He held
His right hand out towards those present and said :

receive children and humble souls into the shelter of My Heart, so that they
will cherish a special love for our Heavenly Father. �

The rays disappeared,
His robe fell back into place, and His hands were once more held out to
Madeleine.
Jesus said :
(without indicating she should repeat it aloud)
� In three
days go and tell the magistrate of this town that Jesus of Nazareth has
triumphed over death, that His Reign is eternal and that He is coming to
conquer the world and time. If he asks who sent you, say that it is Jesus of
Nazareth, the Risen Son of Man. Take him the Message ; let him get to know
it.
Tell him that God
entrusts him to give back to the Church the land of which she must become the
owner. �
Madeleine :
� If I am badly received ? �
Jesus smiled :
� His
appearance will be harsh, but his heart will be transformed ; his dignity
will not let it show. �
Madeleine :
� Lord, I will do Your Will. �
Jesus
disappeared. The priest was absent. On his return, Sister B. transmitted the
Message to him. In reply, the priest, who wanted to do nothing without the
Bishop' advice, forbade Madeleine to take the Message to the Mayor. (The
magistrate of this town.)
Madeleine had
every intention of transmitting the Message to the Mayor.
She
noted :
� Whom
should one obey ? Christ or the Church ? It was the second time
I disobeyed Jesus. The priest hinders me each time, but I also know that
obedience has its value��
She went to the
chapel and there recovered her peace.
Note :
In spite of this prohibition, Madeleine accompanied
by Mme A. did take the Message to the Mayor after making an appointment. He
welcomed them very well, and then contacted the priest. That same evening the
latter sent the Sisters to fetch Madeleine so as to inform her of their vivid dissatisfaction
regarding her proceedings with the Mayor.
43rd
APPARITION
The Light
appeared, then Jesus, then red and white rays came out His Heart...Red and
white rays came out. The red rays, more numerous, were like blood which gushed
from a spring, the Source of Life. They were alive, springing slightly then
flowing downwards, rather like sprinklers on a lawn. They renewed themselves
incessantly.
Jesus said :
(Madeleine repeated it aloud as on the preceding days.)
� The
eighth day �
� I will
relieve the souls in Purgatory ; My Blood will extinguish their burns. �
� Our Father... � � 3 Hail Marys... �

abyss. You must prepare yourselves through this ultimate Message. �
� Make the

Then Jesus
lowered His Hands and aid (without indicating she should repeat it
aloud) :
� Without
saying a word, ponder in your heart the words you have heard. Although time
passes, your faith must remain unshakable. �
Jesus smiled
and disappeared.
Madeleine wrote :
� So
those wonderful nine days have ended. The last words that Jesus has just said
to me, make me think that I shall not see Him again for a good while... The
months pass, Jesus has not come back. Doubtless His Message has ended.
But in spite of
the Message which Jesus wishes to be proclaimed to the world, and which the
Church has the responsibility of acknowledging, I remain in great peace... O my
God, may your Kingdom come, but before then, make your Message spread over the
whole world... �
� I pray
that Jesus may enlighten those who doubt... He is always present in my heart,
especially after each communion... �
Madeleine
prayed and did penitence so that the designs of God might be accomplished.

First Friday of July 1977
The priest had
gone to
� A
cracking noise, and the Archangel Michael appeared to the left of the Blessed
Sacrament ; I knelt down before him, but with his left hand which was free
he signed to me to go forward to the Blessed Sacrament. So, I turned away, and
the moment I knelt down before Him, He sent out red and white rays without my
seeing Him. Jesus was indeed there, for I felt myself vitalized by His rays. �
The
� Greetings, �
and bowed his
head to me and said :
� Devoted
daughter, burning with charity, God has established in his Church :
1� apostles,
2� prophets,
3� doctors
and many
others He has chosen. But you, in today's world, apostle and prophet, act with
people according to your heart ; the Consoler is guiding you. God has made
known what must happen tomorrow at dawn, in witnessing to all you have seen,
heard and touched of Jesus Christ. But woe to the world because of intrepid
priests who fight and refuse. God is angered by this refusal of obedience and
His anger is cruel. But Jesus, the Meek, the Wise, His love is so great for
men, that He wants to save them in spite of everything, because this generation
is the most hypocritical and the most wicked, but because of lethargic priests
and because the day has come when God must judge the world, He gives His grace
to all those who listen to Him, and declares blessed those who make known His
Message, and put it into practice.
� But
you, Madeleine, who have been entrusted with transmitting it to the priest,
listen to him and correspond with him. Remain in the peace given you by Jesus,
meditate in your heart, and pray, pray, for Jesus weeps over the degradation of
His Church. �
The
Note :
The Lord had clearly said that the priest should not
leave his parish before the accomplishment of the task which had been asked of
him during the sixth apparition. The Bishop, wishing to satisfy himself about
the continuation of the Apparitions by changing the priest, told Father L�Horset, on
The Abbot Queudeville, who
replaced him, did not know anything about the apparitions.

It is Madeleine
who speaks :
� I went to
the chapel from
I think I felt
drawn to the chapel, to go there at that time. In the church I heard
I was happy
because I hadn't seen Jesus Himself in person, since
Jesus said :
� Make the
sign of the Cross. �
Then raising His eyes to heaven, He joined His Hands
at breast-level and said :
� In the
Name of My Father in Heaven, I have come to put things right. Satan is seducing
you. After the ninth day of the promises I made to humanity, he came to make
trouble in My Message (*). But listen well to this :
When God the
Father sends Blessed Michael, the Light always precedes his coming, and
remember My words : evil spirits will come in My Name who will seduce you,
and will come even to your houses disguised as angels of light. Don't believe
them, they will lead you into error. Be on your guard ; you have been
warned. You are living in the period when Satan is unchained in all his might ;
but the time is approaching when I shall come to conquer evil. �
Then Jesus lowered His Hands as though in welcome, He
smiled at me for a long time and said :
� You
Madeleine, who are the only visible sign for My Message, you will not fall
again into error. Henceforth, I order you, make the sign of the Cross as soon
as a light appears. If it is Satan, at that same moment everything will
disappear. �
Jesus smiled and said :
� Peace be
with you. �
and then it was
dark.
� The
Sisters had gone to Mass at Brucourt ; I presumed
the doors were closed, so I went back quickly to the house to write, and I
locked myself in the bathroom ; that was the only door with a key. I cried
so much I could scarcely write : � to have been seduced by Satan !
and Jesus in His great goodness, had come to tell me ! �.
(*) In 1976, before the coming of Gerard C., one day
the priest said to her : � Watch out for the devil, be on your guard because he
is very strong. � She remembered answering him : � Oh, M. le Cur�, I don�t know the devil, I�ve never met him ; I
have nothing to do with him. � That same day, February 3rd, she
realised that the priest was right.

Straightaway I made the sign of the cross
as Jesus told me the previous time, and I said :

let him disappear. �
� As soon as I had made the sign of
the cross and said these words, I felt peace and confidence take possession of
me. �
Then Jesus appeared, smiled and said :
� Tell them what you see. �
� I saw Jesus seated, in front of Him
a table like an altar, but the altar in the chapel was there no longer. It was
a white table, like white stone. On this table several books were open ;
six or seven, I'm not quite sure. Then, another book, also open which Jesus
held in His Hands. �
Then He said to me :
� Would you be so kind as to say this
aloud ? �
I repeat each sentence :
� Be careful, you all who keep veiled
the prophetic words which have been given to you, the book I hold in My Hands,
is the BOOK OF LIFE, which My Father has just given Me the power to open, and
it is on this holy and sacred hill, the place He has chosen, that everything
will be renewed. It is here that you will see the
�And
behold, God's dwelling will appear among you. But then, those who fight and
refuse to hear the words which this humble servant has pronounced will strike
their breasts. You, whom I have asked to proclaim My Message, you are guilty of
leaving the world in ignorance of what must soon happen. Do not lean on your
own reflection. Why do you resist, since I have given you My dogmatic Grace.
For pity's sake, I ask you to listen to Me, My Heart is overflowing with Mercy. �
Jesus rose, the Table disappeared. He
smiled a long time at me then He said :
� Tell the priest and all whom you will
meet what you have just seen and heard ; you will remember it all day. �

� Pray and
do penitence without wearying. �
His manner was
grave :
� For the
third time, Madeleine, I ask you to be My apostle, by accomplishing the task I
asked. Don't be afraid, you will be hated because of Me. But afterwards sons of
Light will arise in this town. �
Then after a
silence :
� Today you
see Me again, but you will see Me no longer ; however I shall continue to
visit you in My Body and Blood. �
After another
silence :
� But when
this Cross will be raised from the ground, then you will see Me, for at that
moment I shall reveal to the Churches the mysteries written in BOOK OF LIFE
which has just been opened. Tell the Bishop what you have just seen and heard. �
Then He smiled
at me and said :
� In spite
of My supplications, do not be anxious, you possess a wisdom that no one else
down here possesses ; your calm and your silence are the visible signs of
My Word in this world where action and boldness dominate. May your face always
reflect the Invisible Presence. I tell you, obey your Superior, He alone is
responsible on this earth for doing the Will of My Father, but woe to the world
in peril, for he is delaying. �
Then Jesus
smiled and disappeared.
Note :
Before
this apparition, Madeleine had made a novena to know whom to obey.
The
Lord had indeed said that it was no longer the era when He raised bodies from
the dead but that the moment had come when He should raise spirits. (31st
and 33rd App.) Such a resurrection happened in 1979, to Madeleine's
great joy, because it was that of her husband, to whom she revealed, that year,
her visions of the Cross and the Apparitions of Christ... Her husband, an
upright man of good sense, assured by his wife that she had really seen the
Glorious Cross, was moved to tears, and returned for the first time in many
years to kneel and pray at the chapel.
The 50th and last APPARITION
Friday,
August 6, 1982 at 2:00 p.m., at the parish church
"Jesus
gives His Grace to all who make His Message known"
Madeleine:
Father L'Horset and I decided to make a novena
with some friends.
Nine days later, on August 6, 1982, the day of the Transfiguration of
Christ, at the parish church.
I see the Light. I make the sign of the Cross as Jesus
had asked me to do. Then I see Michel Archangel a little to the left of the
Tabernacle.
He said to me:
"I greet you, God by His great
goodness, send me to bear witness to the Truth...
On the ninth day of the promises
made to humanity, Satan seduced you until my coming on the first day of the
seventh month (3.01.76 to 1.07.77).
The fracas you heard was me,
Michel, who came down from Heaven to God to drive out the evil spirit that was
chasing you.
It is because of this that you did
not see the Light that was present.
My imitator comes out of the earth,
but because of the disobedience of the priests, Jesus gives His Grace to all
who make Known His Message, for the world must not remain in ignorance of what
is to happen tomorrow at dawn.
But pray, do penance, the moment is
very close when the imitator will be trampled on."
And everything disappears.
(*)� Who can get out of the
ground, if not a human. 45th Appearance, 1977, the year the Antichrist was
born.
Look and you'll find: ... Emmanuel...
