| Introduction by publisher Arnold
Guillet Madeleine of the Cross
The angels appear, but to
those only that like them and invoke them. If you saw the
beauty of the angels, you would have marveled some. Let's
ask God's Mother to introduce us in Kingdom
.InfoKeep yourselves
to despise one only of these small; because I tell you that
their angels in the heaven see my Father's face that is
in the cieux» continually (Mat. XVIII,
10).
And he/it tells to him: In truth, in truth, I tell it to you,
you will see the open sky and God's angels going up and
to take down the man's Son above (Jean 1,51) It is the celestial
angels', who possess God in the humility and serves it in
the béatitude,que is submitted the whole bodily nature and
the whole life irrationnelle» (Saint Augustin).The two astronauts
Armstrong and Aldrins deposited on the moon, at the time
of their first landing, a text of the Bible in which he/it
is spoken ofthe angels,: & laquoSeigneur, our God! that
Your Name is admirable on the whole earth! You spread your
majesty above the heaven... I look at the sky, work of Your
hands, the moon and the stars that You created. What is
he/it therefore, the man, so that You remember him? The
man's son so that You worry about him? You only placed little
below it the angels, You crowned it of glory and honneur»
(Ps. V III, 2 and 4 to 7).
The Angels -
A
long time before the creation of the world, God created the
angels, ineffable pure minds of a power and a majesty. The
last of the angels surpasses in intelligence biggest human
geniuses. A part of the angels rebelled against God under
Lucifer's conduct. Is it why, to the scream of & is laquoQui
like God? & did raquo Saint Michel and his/her/its angels
hurl down them in the abyss. But the fallen angels didn't
stop, up to here, to make the war against God, setting all
in motion to seduce the men. S. Pierre doesn't let us any
doubt on the bitterness of this struggle: & adversary
laquoVotre the demon constantly prowls around you like a lion
roaring, looking for that dévorer» (I Petr. V,8). In this
unequal fight, the man would be lost, so God, in His/her/its
mercy, had not sent him again a more powerful help: Marie,
the Woman donned of the sun and the angels of which she/it
is the Queen. & laquo I live a big sign in the sky: a
Woman donned of the sun, with the moon under his/her/its feet
and on the head a crown of twelve stars & raquo, says
the apocalypse (XII, 1). In his/her/its theological Sum, S.
Thomas of Aquin speaks, him also, of this struggle that the
demons lead against the men. He/it asks the question: &
laquo would he/it Be just that, in this fight, the weak is
opposed to the strong, the ignoramus to a being full of ruses?
& raquo The famous doctor of the church concludes his
answer in these terms: & laquo so that the conditions
of the struggle are not unequal, the man receives mainly in
compensation the help of the divine grace and secondarily
the protection of the angels. It is why Elisée tells its servant:
& laquo doesn't fear: we have with ourselves more allies
than eux» (Summa theol. I, quaest 114, art. I ad 2). The fight
especially makes nowadays all rage. The nun stigmatized Anne-Catherine
Emmerich predicted, hundred twenty years in advance, the atrocities
of Stalin and Hitler: & laquoSi I am not mistaken, I heard
that Lucifer would be unleashed again for one period of fifty
to sixty years before the year 2000 after Christ. & raquo
The demon is today the prince of this world to one point that
one had never seen again. This fight clearly predicted also
him in the apocalypse: & laquo When the Dragon lives that
he had been precipitate on the earth, he pursued the Woman
who had given birth the son... Then the Dragon was full of
anger against the Woman; he rose to fight against the Woman's
other children who obeys God's commands and stays faithful
to the testimony of Jesus-Christ» (Apoc. XII, 13-17).
The world doesn't know how to see the undersides: even some
Christian surroundings are hit of a frightening blindness,
that stops them from recognizing the démonisme yet very clear
of our time. In
this hour of darkness, God sends us a new clarity. The R.
P. Rahner, theologian of the recent Council of Vatican, wrote
this lapidary sentence: & laquo The private revelations
are not a luxury for the church: they are an imperative that
says how, in a given historic situation, the church must behave.
& God raquo gave to a woman of our time the charisma to
converse familiarly with the angels. The most important notes
of sound & laquo newspaper & raquo is published in
this book. They open us a new access to the world of the angels:
we become by them a new aware of their existence. The mystical
experiences of Mechtilde Thaller-Von Schonwerth have for us
a big value, because they open us the eyes on these beings
to which us is today more than ever forced to have recourse:
the angels. We begin to suspect their beauty; their ardent
goodwill for God's Kingdom communicates itself to us. The
angels are powerful, because they constantly see the Father's
Face that is in the heaven. They have a big possibility to
help us: they even brave to defend us of their light swords:
they only wait for a sign of us, a gesture, a look, a word
whispered to the bottom of our heart. The demon has today
a power that he had never had again. .. Bus for the church
the big tribulation has commencé», said an angel to Mechtilde
Thaller. It is therefore only while calling to aide Marie
and his/her/its angels that we will defeat.I becomes moth
eaten the example of the last popes: XI magpie, Magpie XII
and Jean XXIII, that had for the angels one so big devotion.

MADELEINE OF THE CROSS
Association of Saint Louis-Marie Grignion of Montfort.
The matter of the present opuscule is pulled from the mystical
experiences of Mechtilde Thaller, born Schonwerth von, member
of Saint's devoutAssociation Louis-Marie Grignion of Montfort.
At the time of his/her/its admission, she/it received the
name of Madeleine of the Cross there. This is how she/it
often names herself/itself herself in his/her/its writings.
Sometimes she/it signs merely & Ancilla laquo &
raquo, since his/her/its spiritual director, Mr. the vicar
Jean Fischer called it thus, to indicate to him that she
had to always consider herself/itself and in all as the
maid of the Lord. She/it was born March 30, 1868, seventh
of a family of eight children. It is in Munich, in the parish
of Saint Louis, that flowed out his/her/its childhood and
his/her/its youth. She/it frequented the school directed
by them & laquo Poor sisters of the Schools & raquo.
Although she/it always lived in the world, rare were the
people who knew his/her/its religious and mystical life.
God had decided some thus. Only his/her/its confessor saw
stigmata; his/her/its husband didn't even suspect ever the
existence of it. Since his/her/its young years, God had
begun therefore to form it to his/her/its vocation of soul-victim:
whereas his/her/its to stretch heart of child was greedy
of affection, she/it lives herself/itself hated of his/her/its
mother, Maria Schonwerth von. This one, lady of the world,
made his/her/its poor girl that she/it had failed to cost
him life feel always while being born. Mechtilde had to
see, in all opportunity, his/her/its mother to prefer him
his/her/its seven brothers and sisters. The motive of this
attitude: & laquo You failed to cost me life, told to
him her; remove you therefore of my presence!
Aa the church was in the most imminent peril of death, that means
when Hérode threw S. Pierre in jail, God sent an angel to
return to the church are born his/her/its Pasteur. Today
the church also, passes by a deadly crisis. The Pope Paul
VI spoke of the self-destruction of the church. Can we hope
that, this time again, God will save His Church by His/her/its
angels?On the other hand his/her/its father, man of high
culture and deep piety, liked his daughter to the equal
of his/her/its other children. The memory of Mechtilde advised
it to live like a saint. By his/her/its wife, he/it was
near parent of the Eminence George Michael Wittmann (17601833),
bishop of Regensbourg, who was one of the chiefs of the
religious Restoration, God's big man. Fortunately, his/her/its
mother's bad processes didn't harden the heart of Mechtilde.
To four years already, she/it felt a big compassion for
the in tears God Mother, of which she/it often contemplated
the picture. One day that his/her/its mother had left, Mechtilde
dragged a chair by this picture and wiped the tears of it
with his/her/its small handkerchief of lace. And now the
tears disappeared! But they always reappeared and the small
Mechtilde restarted to wipe them, so much the tears of God's
Mother made him nausea. She/it asked Notre-Seigneur one
day to return the view to a small blind beggar, in consideration
of these tears. When she/it passed him on the eyes the handkerchief
of which she/it had wiped the face of the a lot of Virgin
Saint, the infirm child regained the view. To five years,
by an act of perfect abandonment, Mechtilde gave up all
human love. She/it lives his/her/its from then on &
laquo archangel & raquo. God had given it to him like
special guide, in addition to his/her/its guardian angel.
Mechtilde Schonwerth von received a tidy education and a
complete formation. She/it had alto's magnificent voice.
When she/it sang, the people who passed in the street stopped
before his open window to listen to it. The choice that
she/it made the Father Schorra, rédemptoriste, as confessor,
was of an extreme importance for his/her/its spiritual life.
The P. Schorra was himself favored of charismas: the grant
of prophecy and the grant of knowledge of the souls. He/it
seems that this religious was, to all considerations, an
exceptional soul director, enjoying supernatural lights.
He/it was stern. Having noted that his/her/its penitent
was hired in extraordinary spiritual ways and was guided
by his/her/its angel, he knew to eradicate in her all germ
of pride and selfishness and to make cultivate him a deep
humility, the intimate conviction of his/her/its own baseness,
to separate of her all feeling of pride. She/it always kept
this attitude full of humility: bigger were the graces of
which God filled it, more she was persuaded that she was
unworthy of it. Yes, Mechtilde was well Madeleine of the
Cross. The notes of sound & laquo Newspaper & raquo
proves that the Father Schorra already knew precisely the
mission of his/her/its controlled: to suffer! Often he/it
announced him what was going to happen to him. Mechtilde
Schonwerth von felt attracted very by the religious life,
especially as one of his/her/its sisters already wore the
dress of them & laquoServantes of Marie» (Served). Because
of some mystical graces, of which were the object this sSur
of the convent of the ducal hospital of Munich - one believed
to see in her the child of which the saint cleaned of Ars
had predicted to the parents previously that she would be
a saint.
But undoubtedly it is of & laquoMadeleine of the Croix»
that he/it wanted to speak. A serious exam of all writings
that she/it let: & laquo Newspaper & raquo, letters
and attestations of his/her/its spiritual children justify
this pretension.It was the Father Schorra that assured to
him one day that God destined it at the state of the marriage.
She/it married therefore, May 7, 1895, Mr. Thaller, to advise
justice Regensbourg, to that she/it gave all his/her/its
affection, but that, submitted to a foreign influence, didn't
linger to change and to show a very difficult character
to define precisely. It was, to the worse sense of the term,
a true tyrant. He/it found a diabolic pleasure to torture
day and night physically his/her/its wife, morally and spiritually.
His/her/its brutality and his/her/its flightiness of mood
didn't know, during years, no limit, even when he/it lives
lying Mechtilde before him dying, after having received
the extreme-unction once besides. Yet, in spite of all it,
we find in 1907, in sound & laquo Newspaper & raquo,
this confession makes to its archangel: & laquoC'est
my husband that I like the more at the world. & raquo
In 1884, at the age of 16 years, Mechtilde had moved to
Regensbourg with his/her/its parents. She/it spent his/her/its
first year of marriage there also. & laquoUne time,
she/it will write that later was the first year of my marriage
I was dived in an abyss of sadness. I knelt before the crucifix
and say while crying: Oh my very soft Love, the one to that
I gave my heart, to obey your Will struck m57;a to the face
and I am in a deadly trouble. I support this test in silence,
in honor of the bellows that one gave you. But, my Mr. beloved,
that give to me exchanges of it to you? Then the crucifix
enlivened and a touching, moving voice, told me with an
infinite love,: My beloved daughter! My small room changed
itself then for me in sanctuary and I didn't find another
answer that these words: Oh my crucified Love! From this
moment, I was capable to support with patience and to forgive
unreservedly all offenses and the snubs that I had to endure
during the years. & raquo But when she/it told him what
had happened, the Father Schorra, his/her/its confessor,
made him this remark: & laquoQue your faith is small,
my child, and weak your charity, so that the Lord is forced
to use such moyens!» In 1898, his/her/its husband was called
to an important station in the administration in the Wurtemberg:
the one of director of the royal Domains. He/it must move
therefore to set in Obermarchthal. It was in the month of
August. The reports of spiritual direction were very difficult
in this & abandoned laquocoin of Dieu», according to
the expression of Mechtilde. She/it complains about that
that, at the time of his/her/its confessions, his/her/its
new confessor takes care of all safe his/her/its soul. The
only fact that the Father Schorra, that let pass no opportunity
yet to form Mechtilde Thaller to his/her/its victim's vocation
by the continual exercise of the mortification, ordered
him to look for himself another confessor, is extremely
meaningful. January 1st, 1899, she/it wrote to the Father
Schorra: & laquoC'est in the name of Jesus that I begin
this year that will bring me, according to your predictions,
so big and so numerous sufferings. & raquo It started
with his/her/its husband's disloyalty that preferred to
his/her/its so perfectly educated wife, a woman who seemed
to lack all qualities. Besides, he/it exploited the physical
strengths of Mechtilde too much. It was to such point that
he had two or three hours sometimes only to grant to the
sleep. He/it followed a total physical downfall. She/it
fought with the death. The vicar of the place didn't worry
not at all about his/her/its parishioner: lasting month,
she/it stayed private of the communion and without no opportunity
to confess. Mechtilde Thaller had surmounted this crisis,
but she didn't recover health more ever. One perfectly realized
that the marriage was going to be for it the path of Mount
Calvary. Shortly after his/her/its recovery, a letter of
the Father Schorra announced to him that in compensation
of his/her/its sufferings would be given to him & laquoun
good confessor & raquo, but that to the beginning it
would not recognize it & laquodon of God & raquo.
He/it let him understand repeatedly that this confessor
had shown him in mind. He/it can describe him the particular
qualities of it. L57;événement announced that produced.
The vicar Jean Fischer appeared.
The archangel designated it in Mechtilde as him & laquodon
of Dieu» (Deus retracts, God gave it).Later, this priest
attached himself/itself Eminence Rieg, a colleague, as to
counsel, to be able to drive one-handed stricter this big,:
soul-victim and to progress himself in the way of the salute.
Mgr Rieg, Mindelstetten, ecclesiastical adviser, filled
these functions at the time in a convent of nuns of the
vicinity, situated in Untermarthal. It is there that he/it
was buried. His/her/its pseudonym was & laquo Servus
Dei & raquo. He/it was later the spiritual director
of stigmatized it Anna Schïffer. Force is us to pass under
silence of the hundreds of pages of him & laquo Newspaper
& raquo all full of details concerning the crosses and
the sufferings of Mechtilde, all as the extraordinary graces
and the celestial consolations that she/it received. A particularly
laborious cross for her, was not to have any children. But
God gave to him, in compensation, a big, very big family
of spiritual sons,: men, women, priests, laymen, religious
and religious that she/it drove an excellent manner, by
his/her/its letters, in the way of the holiness. Other extraordinary
means that God placed among others at his/her/its disposal
the grant of bilocation helped it in his/her/its spiritual
mission. While she/it took her/its rest, the guardian angel
came to look for it, and she got under way. This is how,
during the war, during long & laquoveilles of nuit»,
she/it took care of in the lazarets on the front of the
west, of the injureds that, gone once in their homes, recognized
in her their former nurse. One of his/her/its spiritual
sons was in very big danger to fall in a serious offense.
Madeleine comes to him, makes him some remonstrances. He/it
repulses it and sin.
But I don't want, in this biographic sketch, to mention
these supernatural facts so numerous more. & laquoMadeleine
of the Croix» had received of its archangel the strict order
to hide, so much that it would live, all extraordinary phenomena
of which it was the object, including his/her/its stigmata,
because & God laquoquand holds a veiled secret, he owes
the rester». One would not know how to believe jusqu57;à
what degree s57;éleva, during the years, his/her/its capacity
to suffer, nor how many sufferings she/it endured, for example,
for and on behalf of souls of the purgatory. She/it didn't
continue less of them to declare not to have yet the shades
a merit owing God and stay the personified pride. She/it
ever, writes, God didn't grant it when she asked Him to
alleviate his/her/its sufferings, but his/her/its prayers
for others have always been granted. While browsing the
pages of sound & laquo Newspaper & raquo, as seeing
what extraordinary manner his/her/its husband constantly
invented new torments for his/her/its wife, whom stopped
praying to convert it, I would feel carried to write his/her/its
life to him, to nail it to the pillory, instead of speaking
of his/her/its innocent victim. But once dead, she/it got
him the grace to die repentant. The woman who had poisoned
their married life converted her also. It was there the
work of Domini Ancilla. The Father Schorra had died March
24, 1906. The relations of Domini Ancilla with didn't continue
him less of them. February 27, 1907, she/it asks sound &
laquocher father spiritual défunt», the Father Schorra,
when she/it will be able to die. As soon as you have become
even smaller, again more child, answered & raquo. The
years passed. September 18, 1919, she/it wrote to her/its
daughter spiritual sister Hedwige Schabel, to the institute
of the English Ladies in Augsbourg,: & laquo I must
admit to being that I am so tired... , November 7: &
laquoJe is sick to die...
November 15: & laquo Today after noon I fell asleep
for some instants. I dreamed of the Father Schorra. He/it
was in front of me. He/it tells me a very loving tone: &
laquo Soon, my dear girl, soon! & raquo - How I must
to understand it? I replies. He/it put the finger then on
his/her/its mouth, repeated: Soon, my dear girl and disappeared.
& raquo November 21 & Madeleine laquo & raquo
received the last sacraments once again. When the vicar
Jean Fischer asked him in the event the death have just
accepted it with resignation, of God's hand, it was content
with smiling: she/it was himself since so long cheery for
this moment. In his/her/its sickroom was suspended the crucifix
that had so often spoken to him. After having received the
last sacraments, she/it declared that his/her/its soul overflowed
with consolations. Comes Sunday November 30, Madeleine sent
the sister nurse in the early Mass, then to the sermon and
to the grand'messe, during which she died. His/her/its husband
was present. She/it can say again: & laquo I must die."
Did she/it breath some sighs then and died; the apostle
S. André, for whom didn't she/it have a cult all particular
this is not the apostle who was attached to the cross? had
come to look for it. The deceased's face took an expression
of happiness and peace. His/her/its deadly remains was imprinted
of a majestic size; it was there, serious and soft, as diving
in the meditation, with the expression that it always had
when it knelt at the holy Table. Some days after, his/her/its
body was transported to Munich and was buried in the Waldfriedhof.
His/her/its funerary stone carries the following epitaph:
Here rest in God My dear wife Mechtilde Thaller, born von
Schonwerth Épouse to counsel Born justice March 30, 1868,
deceased November 30, 1919. It is of his/her/its Newspaper,
that spreads on several years, of his/her/its confidences
has a soul friend, of his/her/its numerous letters of which,
for most, I had in hands the manuscripts, that I pulled
the pearls set in this work.Young wife, Ancilla had entered
in relations with my dear mother. There is it a lot of years.
It is my mother that, at the time of their first meeting
in Regensbourg, had predicted him his/her/its & laquostigmatisation».
Today, of the top of the sky, & Ancilla laquo &
raquo continues to make the good among us; will come one
day where it will be necessary, little by little, to make
know it. She/it is, in fact, the author of this work,: the
content is borrowed some entirely to the episodes of his/her/its
life. My work limited itself to choose them and to group
them. Ganting, November 7 1935 Friedrich Rit three times

WHY
DO WE HONOR THE ANGELS SO LITTLE?
theangels
so little! The main reason is very simple of it: it is that
we don't know them, or of the less that we know them much
too little. To honor and to like someone, it is first necessary
to know it. If we knew the sublime size of the angels, their
perfection, the intimacy of their reports with God, their
privileges and their power, us would get as a matter of
course to honor them. And if we knew, besides, how much
they like us in God, with what quick affection they surround
our soul, because, having been witnesses of the biggest
act of love who were ever: this death that sudden freely
for us Jesus Christ, God's Only son, they know what price
infinite God Himself paid every soul. It should inflame
us, us also, of love for them. We would be then, in all
humility, happy to be able to greet them as our friends,
our brothers in God. But... we don't know them! We don't
even know our guardian angel. He/it is yet our supporter
guide, our friend during our whole life. We would know it
maybe, if we wanted to give us the pain any of it. He/it
deserves so!
THE BEATITUDE OF THE ANGELS
The
angels, we know it, are blissful minds. Their beatitude
consists in seeing and to know God's eternal love. The
whole multitude of the angels enjoys an absolutely equal
celestial happiness, since the happiness of every angel
is perfected. However, God's knowledge is not equal
to all degrees of the angelic hierarchy. These degrees
consist precisely in what every category of angels possesses
God's bigger knowledge that the one that is immediately
lower to him. Among all angels, these are S. Michel
and S. Gabriel who have God's biggest knowledge. The
Seraphs are dived so completely in this knowledge, that
they are quite inflamed, all burns the most ardent love.
The beatitude of the angels would not know how to reach
a more elevated degree, because it is perfected; but
their joy can increase. (It is here about an accidental
joy [note of the translator.) Every time, for example,
that a guardian angel takes a soul from the purgatory
to the sky, his/her/its joy increases, in this sense
that it is delighted intensely, that a soul rents besides
and exalt God constantly and either worthy of God's
love. The angels feel an unspeakable joy to have the
certainty that the fruits of the Redemption and the
Christ's precious Blood cannot be lost more for their
protégés.
THE GUARDIAN ANGELS
The guardian angels constantly watch over the men
who are confided to them. Their number is so big, that
ever no angel, after having come with his/her/its protègé,
n57;est again income on the earth to be put there to
the service of a man of a following generation. The
guardian angel who helped a person on the earth, home
by her in the sky. When their protégés enter to the
sky, the joy of their guardian angels increases infinitely.
The guardian angels of the poor wretches who will never
see the divine splendor, are not for as much prétérités.
God gives them the same degree of happiness that to
the others angels; they are especially affected to the
service of the Queen of the Angels and rent with an
indescribable joy the divine justice. He/it is, among
the guardian angels, different degrees. The some are
more ardent, of quieter others, I would be tempted to
say more & reserved laquo": these are the angels
destined to come with those that suffer. Their garment
is of reddish color; they carry around the head a thin
circle similar to a diadem. Other guardian angels are
clothed of white, seem happy, wear a magnificent belt.
A precious crown decorates their head: they serve their
protégés rather than they don't come with them: these
are the guardian angels of the souls without stain.
The children have guardian angels so agreeable, that
one would not know how to say it. They wear a light-blue
garment, have a belt of pearls. Their head is girt on
of one crown of fragrant roses, that never fades themselves.
Their hands are joined to pray and their eyes watch
skywards. The poor sinners have, them also, of the guardian
angels whose aspect is of a majesty who challenges all
description. Their garment is red dark; they wear a
crown. They hold their hands crossed on the chest and
their eyes watch skywards with an imploring and full
expression of sadness. Ah! How much a deadly sin must
offend God, so that his/her/its angels feel such a sadness
of it! The devout souls that must live in a non Christian
environment have, them also, their own category of guardian
angels, as well as those that God calls to some special
mission. There is not anything more agreeable than a
guardian angel and nothing more eager to fill us with
graces that God's goodness. He/it likes to such point
our souls, that he/it gives them an angel to protect
them, to warn them and even to serve them. Oh you, my
friend so faithful, my very dear brother, my holy guardian
angel, I greet you a thousand times in the name of Jesus;
I thank God of you to have created beautiful, so good,
so powerful so
DEMAND
THAT YOUR SUFFERINGS INCREASE
Today after noon, I was disturbed very again.
Of some side that I carried my looks, I only saw sufferings,
coldness and calumny. Fearing to lose courage, I called my
archangel to my help. He/it was immediately in front of me
and tells to me: & laquoComment will you die to what is
terrestrial, if you always ask for the human consolations?
He/it is time for you to get used to the idea that you want
to give up all terrestrial consolation. If you are decided
there well, it is necessary, even though your nature rebels,
to ask God to remove you all terrestrial consolation. Accustom
you to this thought, I repeat it to you, because the time
of more laborious tests is near! & raquo Then he/it disappeared,
letting me diving in a feeling frightening of oppression.
Today, I complained to my archangel of my more and more big
bodily pains. He/it told to me:
.. Thank God, instead of pitying you, of it. Your sufferings
are going to increase again, because the week of sufferings
approach. Support them all in union with those of Jesus and
His/her/its death and ask Him to increase your pains! This
prayer will be granted to the very instant. That you are happy
and worthy to desire to have so much to support and of the
pouvoir!» Still this allusion to an increase of my pains,
when I sigh so much after a little rests and détente! This
morning, I received two times the blessing of the T. S. Sacrament.
The Domination of & Deus laquo retracts & raquo worked
next to it, the air full of joy and respect. I sent my archangel
to join them. Then, the Domination of & Deus laquo retracts
& raquo took the fronts with his/her/its archangel close
to it. It gave me big pleasure.
LORD,
LET ME TO LIVE AND TO SUFFER A LONG TIME AGAIN
Today
after the meal, I sat down in my room. I wanted to recite,
as custom, nine Paternoster in honor of the nine choirs of
the angels. To the second Paternoster in honor of the Archangels,
whereas I thought about my archangel, he/it was sudden in
front of me, the face imprints a severity that I had never
seen him: & laquoTu you are sat to pray, tells to me him
and before, you thought again: & laquoQue I am therefore
tired! am I delighted for the month of May; will I be able
then, to rest me, will I be in the éternité.» How is he/it
therefore possible that you, favored of so many sufferings
by the Mr., do you give up with so much lightness life? Us
the angels, we can never suffer for God, nor to obey His/her/its
Will. But if we were capable of desire, he/it is only one
thing that we would envy you: it is to be able to suffer,
whereas we are not able to it. Immediately go to the church
to ask for forgiveness to the Mr. present in the holy Sacrament,
to have underestimated this precious life of sufferings of
which God judges you worthy. Your director doesn't approve
you, him either, to be ready to die. When you will confess
of your sins, Saturday, don't forget to accuse you of having
underestimated God's graces. & raquo I gathered my strengths,
I went to the church and asked for forgiveness God of all
my heart with tears. I asked my archangel as urgently not
to remain longer angry against me.
But he/it didn't appear to me. Then I went to my crucifix
and asked the Lord to really want to tell the angel that I
had repented better of my of my sins; that the archangel had
mercy of my weakness. Crucified it smiles, He/it bent very
low toward me. I felt a violent desire to lean me against
Jesus' shoulder and yielded to my desire. I recognized my
guilty party lack of courage then and how much he/it was unjust
for me to want the end of my sufferings so much. I recognized
with what ardor unspeakable Jesus had wanted the suffering
and how much a soul stays in God's love and in His/her/its
grace, when it suffers with patience. He/it came me aIors
a desire extraordinary to suffer and at the same time as this
disposition to accept the suffering, I had the idea to wish
to live longer again, so such was the Will of my Love crucified.
I was armed of courage and tell my divine Love: & laquoSeigneur,
let me therefore live a long time again and souffrir!» The
Lord looked then at me with an admirable love. I don't live
anymore Crucified it, but the Resuscitated, so that I must
close the eyes. The Lord raised the right hand and I live
before me a big and beautiful angel, with a candle consumed
to one such point, that I thought that it was going to die
out. And I say: & laquo Ah! Lord, how this seraph can
he/it dare to appear before your Majesty with this small tip
of candle? & raquo The Lord answered me with big goodness:
& doesn't laquo have you, today, caressed, full of joy
the hope to die to the earliest? This candle is the symbol
of your life. Do you again want that she/it dies out soon?
& raquo I answered briskly: & laquo Lord, that she/it
dies out today, or after long years only, it is to me the
same, so long as came true to my consideration your holy Will!
I don't ask besides for anything. & raquo The Lord threw
then by force on the poor candle a full look creative and
it grows as far as reaching a height quite appropriate. And
I say: & laquo That your Will is made, beloved Lord, on
the earth as to the sky! & raquo
SUNDAY
OF QUASIMODO (7 avri11907)
Wagoes by the altar occupies all my attention.
To the consecration, & Deus laquo retracts & raquo
raised Jesus' Sacred Heart; His/her/its Wound was
extensively open; some big drops of blood sank some hands
of & laquoDeus dedit». I live these hands and no, as custom,
the only dedicated fingers, in a brilliant light. Saint Gabriel
was, him as again to the altar; he knelt very humbly of the
side of the gospel. I greeted it several times and recommended
him all first communicants, all catechists and especially
& Deus laquo retracts & raquo, & laquo Servus
Dei» and & Adauctus laquo & raquo. He/it watched very
in a friendly way toward me, this & laquo Messenger of
joy & raquo and I asked him to bring the sky, during these
next days, a lot of consolation and of joy spiritual to my
spiritual friends. Immediately after the consecration, I also
live the T. S. Vierge to present & laquo Deus dedit» to
His/her/its Son. She/it appeared with a royal magnificence,
as happy Queen of the Sky & raquo. I was so deeply touched,
that I felt to come my tears. My archangel put his/her/its
hands then again on my eyes; my tears dried. Shortly before
the communion, when & Deus laquo retracts & raquo
raised the host in the height of his/her/its eyes, I live
it to plunge his/her/its hands in the Wound of the divine
Heart. I asked my guardian angel: & laquo Why it? &
raquo He/it explained to me: & laquo He/it draws, in Jesus'
Heart, the treasures of the divine love and gives them to
his/her/its friends. & laquo It gave me big pleasure.
I was delighted for & laquo Deus dedit» of that that,
these next days, he/it will be, as S. Gabriel, a carrier of
joy. When he/it had received the Body of the Lord, I live
it making one again with Jesus' divine Heart. When & Deus
laquo retracts & raquo turned to give the absolution,
Saint Gabriel came toward me and tells to me: & laquo
Excites in you a quick to repent your mistakes and carelessness.
& raquo I immediately conceived an ardent to repent of
it. As my neighbor left her place to go to the holy Table,
a very beautiful angel, that I had never seen again, approached
of me. He/it stretched me a dedicated host while pronouncing
these words: & laquo That the Body of the Lord drives
your soul to the eternal life. & raquo I felt a fear so
quick, or rather I was seized of such a joy, that I thought
to die some...
Ten hours of in the evening. Late tonight, I was again alone.
I asked the T. S. Vierge, by his/her/its immaculate Conception,
to get the grace of the holiness and the perseverance for
& Deus laquo retracts & raquo and his/her/its friend
& laquo Servus Dei & raquo. And I asked my dear guardian
angel to ask the archangel who is at my sides to carry this
prayer before God's throne. I saw then before me the two angels.
The archangel had in hands a cut of gold, with perfumes whose
smelling smoke brought up skywards. The archangel tells to
me: & laquo Sees, how much I am eager to fill your desires
and to serve you. Immediately calmness made itself in my anguished
soul and I dare to hope now that the Lord will give a lot
of strength to my heart, so that I am able to accept the bouquet
of myrrh that my crucified Love presented to me. And now,
Lord, I am going to take my rest, to obey the command that
You gave so that the humanity that works gets back, by the
sleep, of the fatigues of the day. Please give me the sleep,
to be able to execute my director's orders, that wants it
thus. As for you, my faithful brother, my holy guardian angel
and to you, blissful mind that the mercy of the immaculate
Virgin gave to me, keep the watch and hunt the angels of darkness,
so that I take a rest and sleep in peace. So either him.
OFFER YOUR SUFFERINGS TO THE CHILD
... Marie was full of goodness with regard to the three holy
Kings maguses, whose heart exulted in God their Savior. The
three Kings were the first humans who offered him their homages
as to their Queen. I contemplated this stage, when I was seized
of a big pain of my awful and numerous sins. I would have
offered something, like the three Kings, very gladly but I
didn't absolutely have anything. I live my two angels then.
Gabriel's mate held in hands a big cut of gold, on which my
guardian angel deposited a small branch of myrrh, without
any appearance. The angel tells to me: & laquo Offers
to the child your sufferings. I took the cut and asked the
child to condescend to place the merits of His/her/its sufferings
there, so that I have the less something to offer Him, me
also, what I had myself being so petty. The child smiles;
He blesses the branch of myrrh that grows then endlessly.
His/her/its green ramilles covered themselves with dark red
color roses. Their celestial perfume comforted me to such
point, that I absolutely forgot my sufferings of it. I offered
to the divine child the chastity of the priests and virgins
then and thought about my director & laquoDeus dedit».
I live it in white vestment, to kneel before the Manger. He/it
held in hands a gold chalice quite covered of myrrh. His/her/its
angel, provided with a gold censer, censed the Lord. The divine
child stretched toward him His/her/its arms and attracted
it toward His/her/its Heart. & laquoDeus dedit» closed
the eyes, but his/her/its soul was happy and happy. I live
that he/it had arrived to one elevated degree of grace and
divine love. I thanked God of all my heart of it and I dare
to hope that he/it will drive me to like God me also
TO KEEP THE
KING'S SECRET...
es
a secret, he must stay hidden. Your confessor must never speak
of the mark of mercy that the Lord gave to you (by His/her/its
stigmata). Not even with his/her/its director of conscience:
it would be a mistake against the ministerial discretion:
that he/it never forgets it. God wants it thus. You have,
at the moment, many to endure mockeries and contempts. It
is there God's work, to divert from you the attention of the
demon. Be prudent, I warn of it to you in the name of Jesus!
What you write, also, is only for & Deus laquo retracts":
nothing must ever come out of his/her/its hands... because
when you write, your intention is always that what you write
is only handed to your confessor. It must remain thus... &
raquo I passed today one night of pains; but it is not in
vain that I endured. Deo gratias! This morning, toward four
hours, I fell asleep. At five o'clock less one quarter, I
awakened. I got ready to receive the sacraments. My angel
tells me not to be going to receive communion. I offered my
ardent desire to my crucified Love and I was comforted. At
quarter past six, I went to the church... When happened to
my tower of confession, my angel told me sudden,: & laquo
Removes your gloves before the absolution and aim your hands
to your confessor! " (Was maybe this to show him his/her/its
stigmata, that it was alone to see, with the exception of
Ancilla herself. One doesn't see for what other motive the
angel would have ordered him to remove his/her/its gloves.
[Note of the translator.]) I was frightened. I thought in
myself: & II laquo makes dark, one cannot see anything,
therefore. "But my angel told me a stern tone: & Obeyed
laquo! & raquo I made what he/it had ordered to me. I
asked my archangel for what grace I had to implore for &
Deus laquo retracts ", because it had the general intention
to become the health of the patients. My archangel tells to
me that first, such a favor would quite attract too much the
attention on it, that that & Deus laquo retracts" wanted
as little that I; then, that the recovery of the illnesses
was a charisma granted for the a lot of neighbor, without
being of a big utility for the soul of the one that was presented
some... I interrogated my archangel, concerning the future
of & Deus laquo retracts & raquo. He/it answered me:
& laquo Your director goes beyond the jurisdiction that
he has on you. You are not a spiritual medium. The future
is in God's hands. That he/it was designated for O., he/it
must have understood it for a long time. If he/it is destined
to take the first place one day here, the Holy spirit will
drive it as surely that it made it has seven years. "
... Thi night, I slept & laquo on superior order &
raquo. At the end of three hours, my angel woke me up. He/it
seemed me that it was she & laquo Domination & raquo
of & Deus laquo retracts & raquo. I had to pray for
a dying. I obey and prayed until after four hours. The soul
in question is at the bottom of the purgatory. His/her/its
last instant was good... Mistake of what... !
IT IS HIS AND NO HAS ME THAT YOU ARE SUBMITTED!
At
five o'clock less one quarter, my archangel came. He/it tells
to me: & laquo If he/it wants it, your spiritual guide
can free you of all your sufferings, for supernatural motives.
If he/it wants that you express yourself in tone & laquo
Newspaper & raquo about your sufferings, obey. Because
you have the duty to obey to him in an incomparably bigger
measure than to me. & raquo As I exposed him the desire
of & Deus laquo retracts & raquo, it tells to me very
seriously: & laquo It is there God's business! I am only
God's messenger; I can only tell you what God wants that I
communicate you. & raquo And he/it wanted to disappear.
But I tell to him: & laquo in the name of Jesus, I want
that you remain. It is necessary that I speak again with you,
otherwise you will be responsible for my imperfect obedience.
& raquo I wanted then to transmit him the greetings of
& laquoDeus retracts & raquo and all his/her/its other
commissions. But he/it tells to me while smiling: & laquo
I was behind you, and when he/it blessed you, I also took
my part of this blessing and my heart was delighted in Jesus.
When he/it put you in charge of greeting me, I bent the knee,
while greeting it a thousand times by the divine sweetness
of Jesus' Heart. Make what he/it tells to you; it is his and
no to me that you are submitted... The mission of a spiritual
guide is if raised, that we are not able to, us, angels, to
be astonished; by your obedience, you will honor God and will
serve it... & raquo
... This morning, I was at the Mass. Immediately before the
consecration and until the priest's communion, my wounds had
become again absolutely cool, so that I was afraid and that
I hid my hands under my coat. Later, their redness decreased;
I believe that it had disappeared for the last gospel... I
asked my angel if I had sinned by pride, because of the embarrassment
that I had felt... He/it smiles and tells to me: & laquo
I am not your confessor. Ask for it to himself and you will
stick to his/her/its opinion. & raquo... Today, as, leaving
my room, I entered to the hall, I live before me an angel
of a marvelous beauty. He/it was clothed of a dalmatique and
had the arms crossed on the chest. His/her/its looks were
fixed to the sky, in an expression of unspeakable supplication.
I was if absorbed by his/her/its beauty, that I cannot ask
him for what he/it wanted. But he/it seemed me to know it.
To give him pleasure, I say: & Ave laquo, Maria, gratia
plena, Dominus tecum! & raquo He/it spread the hands then
and looked at me with a goodness all celestial, then told
to me,: & laquo I am the angel that God sends to those
that suffer; I now come at home, then at the Father B., then
Deus chez« retracts & raquo again. Don't lose courage,
but from now on, already thank beforehand, for all sufferings
that will come. Pax vobiscum! & raquo He/it had disappeared!
THE PURE SOULS ARE MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN THE ANGELS
My second angel, that I received early yesterday morning,
is part of the choir of the Archangels. He/it is serious and
girds on green. He/it will fortify me, according to God's
will. His/her/its face is imprinted of gravity; it will remain
by me until my death... I asked for help to my angel in my
pains of heart. I saw it then before me, as well as the mate
of Saint Gabriel, full of beauty and sweetness. I told to
them: & laquo OH that you are beautiful! And you must
be a thousand times again more beautiful that I didn't see
you! If I could see you before me in all the burst of your
magnificence, I would certainly die some. & raquo Gabriel's
mate answered to me: & laquo Yes, it is true. But a lot
more beautiful again that us in all the burst of our celestial
beauty, is a pure soul. The beatitude of the saints is a lot
bigger than ours, because they could suffer for God. I retorted:
& laquo As they are beautiful, the souls of my spiritual
director and his/her/its friend! I always think of it with
admiration. & raquo The two angels smiled and my guardian
angel told to me: & laquo You only have a pale idea of
the magnificence and the beauty of these souls. If the Lord
revealed you the whole suavity of it, you would not know if
it is not the Lord himself that you have before the eyes.
So he of all pure soul is some. But the ministerial souls
possess a magnificence again all particular. They are of one
so admirable splendor, that they won't realize it that to
the sky and it will be there the biggest part of their beatitude
and their eternal jubilation.
THE
ANGELS OF THE FRIENDS OF THE PRIESTS
Although & Deus laquo retracts and & laquo Servus
Dei & raquo is very different one of the other, their
characters complete themselves the most perfectly of the world.
Their guardian angels have a big resemblance: one could confound
them. Them & laquo second & raquo angels change, depending
on whether the person of which they take care reached a bigger
degree of perfection. A priest who has, to come with it, a
& laquo Domination & raquo, possess like grant to
be able to guide the hearts of those whose soul is confided
to him: him & laquo dominates & raquo, in a certain
manner. But the secular priests rarely have a & laquo
Domination & raquo to their disposition. & Deus laquo
retracts & raquo doesn't have his/her/its anymore &
laquo Power & raquo, it now has by it a & laquo Domination
& raquo. This angel seems of command and magnificence,
that I have absolutely been upset some, when I received yesterday
& Deus laquo retracts & raquo and & laquo Servus
Dei & raquo to the hall. The magnificent garment of this
angel is of a luminous color of clarity. The scepter that
he/it carries the left hand, shine as sunbeams. His/her/its
right hand is free, always ready to sustain & laquoDeus
dedit», to drive it, to bless it. I was impressed deeply when
I live, yesterday, these two priests according to God's heart
sat to our table and I must make big efforts not to plunge
me in a deep contemplation of the inexpressible sublimity
of the true and perfect ministration. Her & laquo Domination
& superior raquo of & Deus laquo retracts & raquo
was the servant and the friend of S. Philippe Néri. The archangel
of & laquo Servus Dei & raquo was a long time the
mate and the visible friend of the blissful Pierre Favre,
himself mate of S. Ignace. Her & laquo Domination" that
was before the friend of & Deus laquo retracts" and that
is now the servant of the Father B. is only there to assure
and to prepare the passage to it & laquo superior Domination"
that S. Alphonse of Liguori had previously. Yesterday after
noon, & laquo Servus Dei>, being seated close to me,
I live to his/her/its side her & laquo Virtue & raquo.
That he/it thanks once again whole-heartedly this angel, because
the Virtue won't be better a long time close to it: he/it
will come an angel of one degree more elevated. The Virtue
is already about to tell to him farewell and ready for the
departure.
RELIGIOUS PROFESSION...
... This morning, & Deus laquo retracts & raquo pronounced
its wishes, but it is not himself that asked for the grace
that there is attached. I was in mind in the church of N.
& Deus laquo retracts & raquo was accompanied by its
two angels. Her & laquoDomination» that he/it had before
and the archangel of & laquo Servus Dei & raquo was
behind him. To the offertoire, I saw, on the altar, the Christ
full of magnificence and majesty. Marie was knelt of the side
of the gospel. Saint Gabriel was a few more loin,en rear of
her. Standing close to Marie, there was S. Jean the evangelist
and S. Jean Berchmans in dress of Jesuit. The whole was very
beautiful and solemn. To the consecration, the Lord disappeared
of the altar and I saw It then in the host that Deus élevait«
retracts & raquo. God's Mother was enveloped in his very
known blue coat. His/her/its dress, all as the veil that covered
his/her/its hair without hiding his/her/its forehead, were
of white color. She/it crossed her/its hands on his/her/its
chest with an inexpressible humility. S. Gabriel wore a dawn
and a stole crossed, embroidered of gold. In his/her/its right
hand, he/it held the lily; he/it had the left hand put on
the chest. There was a very big number of angels in the church.
During the past century, a religious profession ceremony already
took place in this small church; had a few less angels then.
When & laquoDeus retracts & raquo, pronounced his/her/its
wishes, after the Mass, the Gabriel archangel headed toward
it and marked it of the cross. I also saw a very beautiful
angel, unknown of me, approaching of & laquoDeus retracts
& raquo and to bind him the hands of a gold tie. The Christ
sat on the altar, girds on his/her/its crown; His/her/its
right carried a brilliant scepter. I have since the offering
that made & Deus laquo retracts & raquo of himself
to God, was very pleasant to Him. I told the Lord then: &
laquo That he gives yourselves, in return for this offering
& raquo my love and my grace & raquo, m57;a says the
Lord. Everything that, in his/her/its actions, was until here
of money, will be changed gold by his/her/its obedience and
the renouncement to his/her/its clean will. I thought then
in myself: & laquo But, what grace & does Deus laquo
retract & does raquo wish it for himself? He/it seems
so irresolute! To this moment, I saw the standing God Mother
before & Deus laquo retracts & raquo. They spoke together.
Then, with a maternal smile, the T. S. Vierge turned toward
its divine Son and I saw it plunging his/her/its hand, or
rather two fingers of his/her/its hand, in the Wound opened
of the Christ. Then she/it turned around toward & Deus
laquo retracts" and wrote to him slowly, in the heart, Jesus'
Name. He/it received the same grace therefore that S. Ignace,
S. Bernard and S. Augustin; that the holy Mechtildes and Gertrude,
Madeleine of Pazzis and others again. I told God's Mother
then: & laquo That you have therefore made! Although this
grace is incomparable, it will bring to the one that received
it, many bodily pain. "Marie answered to me while smiling:
& laquo would I have been able to give him a grace more
big, more extraordinary? All spiritual and bodily sufferings
that will visit it since today, he/it will feel them more
deeply than until here. But you believe that he/it would refuse
this grace, if I put him before the eyes all favors of which
these sufferings will be come with? No, certainly! "It comforted
me a little, not completely however. I saw, again S. Jean
Berchmans to advance toward & Deus laquo retracts" and
ask him the hand on the shoulder, with a lot of love; it is
therefore that & laquo Deus dedit» chose it like boss.
... Then my archangel spoke to me more length of my promise
& laquo until beyond the tomb. If I die before & Deus
laquo retracts ", I remain bound by my promise until it is
himself left for the eternity.
... I had again, to the supper, a joy and no of the least:
I saw & Deus laquo retracts" to bring walk in. I also
saw his/her/its two angels. Came all of a sudden again to
attach itself/themselves to them her & laquo Domination.
What vision of peace! That God is thanked some!
MORE PRECIOUS THAN A BAG OF GOLD ECUS
Today, on the demand of & Deus laquo retracts ", my angels
greeted me. Seeing them step, I asked them to make me feel
one instant their presence, & laquo because & laquo
Deus dedit» charged to me a commission for you & raquo,
have them I say. After these words, say the bottom of the
heart, I saw my two protectors. They appeared me, graceful
and of majesty. The archangel told to me: & laquo We were
present. The order given by your spiritual director filled
us with joy. We greeted it a thousand times respectfully and
lovingly. Since you now fulfill the mission of which he/it
charged to you, we ask you to tell to him that we greet it
very respectfully to Jesus' soft Name! The Lord is with it.
When you pronounced your vow, we were knelt close to you;
us two also, we are submitted to him and will obey his/her/its
voice. Why does he/it become disturbed without reason, not
to be able to be more generous? God doesn't watch to the size
of the grant: he/it only considers the good will. Only one
really good speech, so-called to a person in the pain, is
worth more that a bag filled of gold ecus.
THE ANGELS IN THE LIFE OF THE SAINTS
oday after noon, whereas I had begun the novena
to S. François-Xavier, I saw a charming scene of this saint's
life: S. Ignace constantly sending his/her/its
angel to the guardian angel of François-Xavier, to decide
it to enter in his/her/its Company. I live Xavier in the university
of Paris, full of ardor for the science, but pure also and
innocent like a child. His/her/its guardian angel always carried
a hand-held lily.
... Saint Françoise Roman, of his/her/its flesh eyes, saw
her angel. He/it preserved it of everything that could have
harmed to his/her/its soul. Although Françoise was of imposing
enough aspect, his/her/its movements were very gracious. It
was an accomplished house mistress. It is only after his/her/its
marriage that his/her/its perfection grows, to reach all his/her/its
splendor and his/her/its beauty. She/it was extremely charitable
and humble. One morning, Françoise awakened very early. She/it
first raised the eyes in the sky and offered his/her/its heart
to God. Then, she/it watched around her: his/her/its small
girl slept. Françoise looked at it, full of affection, when,
sudden, his/her/its layer to it illuminated of a celestial
clarity: a charming and agreeable small child bent toward
her. It was his/her/its last son, Jean-Evangelist, died a
long time since good, whose death had broken him the heart.
He/it was as while alive, but many, a lot more beautiful.
So only I was capable to describe somewhat this childish beatitude!
The small Jean greeted his mother with love and respect. Françoise
stretched him the arms and the voice broken by the emotion,
tells to him: & laquo My child! Do you therefore think
again about me in the glory of the sky? & raquo The small
answered him with a touching sweetness: & laquo Of course!
How could forget me you! Don't you see, next to me, another
child again, a lot more beautiful than I? It is my mate in
the flesh of the Archangels. I am part of the choir of the
angels; but is a lot more elevated to him in glory. God sends
you this archangel dear mom, to replace us Agnès and me, because
she will follow me soon to the sky, her also. This archangel
will be to you, day and night, so that your eyes of flesh
will be able to see it; he will be your comforter and will
never leave you. & raquo Then the small Jean disappeared,
but the archangel remained by Françoise. She/it almost always
saw it. Sometimes only, when she/it had not had enough repentance
of his/her/its imperfections, he/it disappeared for a little
time to his/her/its looks, while staying however by her. This
morning, during the meditation, I saw S. Jean Népomucène.
My archangel tells to me that this famous martyr was invoked
very too little; that he was not only the boss of the confessors,
but also of those that are calumniated. The priests must especially
invoke it for all those that calumniate them. Did my archangel
recommend to me, to me also, this devout convenient..? Jean
Népomucène was medium-sized. He/it appeared absorbed in himself.
He/it often looked as strong his/her/its two angels; his/her/its
looks also scrutinized with attention his/her/its penitents,
to know l57;état of their soul, because he/it saw them all,
in company of their angels. He/it had the grant to read in
the hearts. The queen of Bohemia was not only his/her/its
penitent, but again his/her/its spiritual daughter.
She/it is holy, although she/it is not canonized. The pain
that it felt her/its confessor's loss was awful; his/her/its
heart was some as broken. But his/her/its eyes stayed dry
until she/it had touched her/its body; it is only whereas
she/it can pour beneficent tears. Every time that S. Jean
Népomucène announced God's speech, his/her/its Domination,
was close to him, suggesting him the thoughts. His/her/its
debit was quiet, without ardor; his/her/its speech was yet
energetic and touched the hearts. He/it carried away in his/its
tomb the lily of the virginity and a purity without stain.
He/it enjoys the glory of the martyrs, the priests and the
virgin souls. There was today a big feast in the heaven for
S. Louis of Gonzague. It is a saint so agreeable! I like it
a lot because he/it had one so big reverence for the angels
and recommended their cult everywhere. When he/it died, his/her/its
room was crammed of angels. Marie was above close to his/her/its
bed and Jesus, so that Louis could see the divine Face. When
the Lord called Louis by his/her/its name, it put back his/its
soul between Jesus' hands. She/it was like a brilliant dove
of clarity.
THE
ANGELS AND THE SOULS OF THE PURGATORY
Toward in the evening, my angel made me cross a region of
the purgatory. It is terrible! That are, in comparison, all
sufferings of the earth! That is that that the most frightening
fire, next to this devouring incandescence without flames!
Arrived to the extremity of this place, me of it related screw
that I believed for a long time at the sky (she/it is born
the same year than me). She/it is of those that have the longest
to suffer. Of all Mass that one makes celebrate for these
deaths, they don't receive more that a drop of water. According
to the divine justice, the fruits of the prayers that one
makes for them are not applied to them. They would not like
to receive alleviation yet, because they know that the divine
justice must to impose them the most terrifying torments.
It is the part of the purgatory where the angels even can
penetrate only to the saints time of the liturgical year,
to comfort their former protégés; a place full of inexpressible
whining, full of brilliant tears; a place that I should call
a hell, if there was not there the hope; that means the certainty
not to have on no account to suffer there longer than until
the last Judgment. Oh poor souls! I wanted to aim the hands
to one these souls to attract it to me and to comfort it.
But my angel kept me. & laquoNe doesn't touch it! he tells
to me: you would be consumed and would fall in ashes; your
body, however he/it was fortified, would be incapable to support
this fire. & raquo This place was, besides, enveloped
of thick darkness; I would not have seen anything, if the
glory of my angel had not illuminated me. In spite of all,
it is necessary to estimate happy the souls dived in this
awful darkness, because most those that make guilty of the
sin that they committed, are damned: their sin is as big as
the one of Lucifer. (It is there a manner to speak, as when
one says: an infinite pain, to suffer like a damned, etc.
The man, whose intelligence is well far from reaching the
one of the angel, would be known, while rebelling against
God, to equal the mischief [therefore the sin] of the rebel
angels [Note of the translator]). ... To the last instant,
whereas he/it lives again, the man is judged. To this last
instant, the dying can again, by a special grace, to make
an act perfects love of God, what he/it follows cross only,
so to speak to the flight, the purgatory. I saw once, in purgatory,
a soul that I thought to suffer there a very long time, bus
during his/her/its terrestrial life, she/it frequently offended
and very seriously God by his/her/its blasphemies, his/her/its
imprecations, his/her/its angers. I asked my angel for the
length of his/her/its punishment: & laquo AT this hour
again, answered to me him while smiling, this soul will arrive
to the eternal rest. & raquo I was surprised some very:
because this soul had only cleared the eve the doorstep of
the eternity. My angel explained to me that to the last instant,
when he was going to be judged, this man could have excited
in him a very big love of God and a very big repentance; that
him, that liked life so and had enjoyed some so much, he had
been delighted with to die because, in the eternity, he could
not offend his/its Savior anymore. To my question if he/it
would have a least degree of beatitude, the angel made this
answer: "No; his/her/its throne will be in the choir of the
Seraphs. & raquo he/it had Never refused alms to a poor.
Happy the merciful, because they will get themselves mercy!
... The eve of the feast of Jesus' holy Name, innumerable
souls will enter to the sky. The brother of & laquo Deus
dedit» is the number. His/her/its guardian angel told it to
me: already the palm that he will give his/her/its angel,
while presenting it before God's throne, is ready.
... Sudden, he/it came me to the idea to offer the divine
justice, for the souls of the purgatory,... all my sweats
of anguish. I immediately followed up on this inspiration
and asked the nine Choirs of the angels to help me in my prayer.
She/it became so ardent and so pressing, that I had ever again
asked thus: I didn't have the impression anymore to be knelt
on the floor and didn't feel any bodily pain. I wanted to
stop praying, but my angel told to me: & Continuous laquo!
Pray until the soul of the purgatory to that God will apply
your prayer, is delivered. & Touched raquo until the deepest
of my soul, I didn't find d57;autre prayer that to repeat
constantly: & laquo My Jesus, mercy! You must be merciful,
because you died for us, poor creatures! & raquo I repeated
with always more of insistence this invocation, while accompanying
it by a torrent of tears, because the complaint of these poor
souls hit my ear. I felt a big calmness then to descend in
me and of fatigue I closed a brief instant the eyes, one minute
maybe... But my angel told to me: & laquo Opens the eyes
and rent the divine mercy! & raquo And I live before me
a beautiful boy, of a grace all celestial, that tells to me:
& laquo Your compassion, your prayer and your tears have
just opened me the doors of the sky. I am going to present
me now before God's throne. But I wanted before, to thank
you and to tell you that me you revaudrai a thousand times
your prayer. Twenty-one years ago that I was in purgatory,
forgotten of my relationship and my friends... When you will
die, I will come to help you. & raquo
RELATIONS WITH THE SOULS OF THE PURGATORY
Tonight, my guardian angel asked me if I didn't want to enter
in narrow relation with the souls of the purgatory. I answered
that I had to first ask for the permission of it my spiritual
director. & laquo Yes, make it as soon as possible, tells
me the angel, because early the morning of the Candlemas,
I will come to look for the answer. Your director has new
days therefore to think. But think of it well: it is for it
about giving up all joys except in the prayer; it is necessary
to wait for you to continual and painful sufferings: you should
not pity yourself of it, but to support them willingly and
with resignation, as the souls in the place of purification.
Your cross will be again hundred times heavier! Think about
all it and chosen! The confessor agreed... and the answer
of Ancilla was & laquo YES & raquo... "Tonight at
five hours, sat to my place, in the doorway of the window,
before the picture of the Sacred Heart, I prayed for the souls,
when I live sudden, close to me, my angel. He/it tells me
a pressing tone: & laquo Makes sure and don't be afraid!
& raquo One knocked then timidly at the door. Anxious,
I say: & laquo Enters! & raquo The defunct district
attorney K. entered. He/it was measly and very tired. Of an
extinct voice, he/it tells to me: & laquo Finally me then
to come at home! am of it to him extremely happy. Everybody
forgets me, you only excepted. For God's love, tell the F.
vicar therefore not to forget me completely. I wait for every
day his/her/its prayers - I prayed so much for him! - and
he/it begins to forget me. But now, it will go better for
me, because I was able to, finally, to go personally to him
to ask him if he/it had again a long time to suffer: one had
celebrated so many Mass for him! He/it answered me, in side
of abundant tears,: & laquo Of all these Mass, I only
received one of it, because to B., I celebrated the Mass at
hours so irregular, that a lot of people could not attend
there, mistake of in to know the hour. And the divine justice
kept me all these Mass, so much that all won't be compensated
those that these people missed involuntarily. & raquo
asked him how I could help it. - & laquo By the patience
and the prayer! & raquo I promised him to endure for him
this night and to pray for him with ardor, until his/her/its
delivery. Then I asked him if the abundant tears that he/it
poured didn't procure him of relief: & laquo Oh yes, answered
to me him, because these tears purify my soul. But they make
if pain! All sufferings from all over the world, accumulated,
since the creation until the last day, are not anything in
comparison of one second of the most benign purgatory. &
raquo... I dismissed this poor lost soul then. It was very
beautiful and touching to see with what marks of respect my
angel accompanied to the door priest's soul. Then she/it disappeared
sudden; we prayed, my angel and me with devotion. ... When
this good district attorney K. was welcomed at the sky, I
live to enter before him a big very beautiful woman. She/it
opened her/its head above an ivory box. A drizzling rain,
a marvelous dew to the inexpressible perfume, spilled on him.
The face of the elected radiated; in the excess of his/her/its
joy, it spread the arms. The magnificent lady knelt then before
him and put him to the feet of the brilliant shoes as gold.
I asked him: & laquo you Who is? & raquo She/it answered:
& laquo I am Mercy; is him of those that always worked
on my traces. It is why I anointed it also, of the rejoicing
oil and drive it on the way of the beatitude. During his/her/its
terrestrial life, he/it was merciful. Hey well me, the divine
Mercy, I come to meet it at the door of the sky. & raquo
The archangel of the Patience came then. I already knew it.
His/her/its usually so serious air, I will even say nearly
painful, had made place to a big joy. He/it aimed to the elected
the palm of the victory. The virginal Purity came on its turn,
vivid and majestic; it handed him the lily. Then I heard again,
as I had heard it once already, the splendid wood sorrel of
the celestial choirs and screw the elected to rise in light
without end. I stayed some happy of happiness...
THE FALSE ANGEL
My angel warned me today that, from the new year, I had to
appear very prudent and if I saw an archangel, well to make
sure if, yes or no, his/her/its stole carried a cross. If
the cross missed, I had to order to him, in the name of Jesus,
to say that it was. I am going to take at heart this warning.
Today, I am strong disturbed by a beautiful angel, but whose
stole doesn't have a cross. Two times already today, he/it
told to me that I was destined to be damned; that I had to
make myself a possible most convenient existence and that
he/it would help me there. In the event I would not have any
terrestrial happiness desire, I had to put an end besides
to my life worthless no. This second temptation was very strong;
I called to the help my archangel and the fallen angel disappeared.
The angel without cross always gives clearly me to hear that
I don't absolutely have anything to wait of life, otherwise
of them burst-heart and of the soul pains and that I should
finish some with this miserable existence. I was very tired
and oppressed when he/it valued me these subjects. I didn't
want to fight a long time and in my desire to find rest, I
tell to him: & laquo Calms you and worrier you of your
own interests. What concerns me doesn't absolutely look at
you. I don't want anything else that what God wants. If he/it
recalls me to Him, I will die gladly. I wait for God's call
but I don't want to precede it. & raquo (The director
of Domini Ancilla makes this remark: she/it must tell this
& laquo angel & raquo: & laquo Says therefore,
old scoundrel, in the name of Jesus withdraw you of me! &
raquo) I live his/her/its beauty then to change itself/themselves
in hideous ugliness. My archangel put me his/her/its hand
on the eyes, to deliver me of this horrible vision. ... I
had in a little while again, a strange visit that informed
me that I didn't owe all to write in my & laquo Newspaper
& raquo, without any research of style, for & Deus
laquo retracts & raquo; it was well superfluous to write
every day; more superfluous again to confess the movements
of my self-esteem. Persuaded intimately of the opposite, I
tell this intruder: & laquo How can you speak of the sort?
Would you like to counsel me to disobey? Therefore you don't
come of God! & raquo That saying, I live that this archangel
didn't have a cross to his/her/its stole. My guardian angel
covered me the eyes of his/her/its hand. When he/it removed
it, the angel of darkness had disappeared.
... Today, I feel again very abandoned, tired to die some.
And now the whole suffering of my whole life fell me on the
heart with a crushing weight, as well as my numerous omissions.
I saw then before me a strange apparition. She/it was enveloped
of a brightness garment of blue color, embroidered of gold.
One can say that she/it was beautiful, but there was a vague
something in her of indefinable, that made to me badly and
caused me the repulsion. This apparition began to speak to
low voice, putting me before the eyes all sins of my life.
She/it deplored bitterly that it was impossible to repair
for so much of although I had omitted to make. It was then
like a sword that transfixed my soul. But I was all the same
a little calmed, because he/it immediately came me this thought:
& laquo If I lend the ear longer to these subjects, I
fall in the despair. It is impossible that a good mind holds
such a language. I look more attentively at the apparition
that speaks to me and now the same concern, the same uneasiness
that I had felt in the beginning, take to me. Continued him
to lower the eyes. Then, I interrupted it suddenly in the
induction without end of my carelessness that he/it made to
me; he/it was some only to the fifteenth year of my life!
and say to him: & laquo in the name of Jesus crucified,
I order you to raise the eyes and to look at me! "The beautiful
face decomposed itself in a horrible grimace and two frightening
eyes, full of hate - the eyes of the demon - watched me. Then,
I knew what he/it was some. I ordered to the demon to remain
there before me and tell him all sins that you enumerated
m57;a, I committed them, and a thousand times more again.
But although my sins are infinite in number and in gravity,
my confidence in the merits of Jesus crucified is, it also,
infinite. & laquo And I added, without thinking there,
the formula of blessing that I have custom to use in my continual
relations with the souls of the purgatory,: & laquo That
God's mercy comforts you and gives you the peace! & raquo
The demon disappeared then while pushing an awful howling,
but I live my dear Father Jean before me. He/it tells me with
anger: & laquo How can you address to the demon this wish
of peace, him that likes so much to remove the peace to the
men and work constantly to disturb the peace? That you are
precipitate to come from it to wish the peace to the one that,
by a judgment of the divine Justice, lost the peace forever!
"I felt a big pain of it and recited the You Deum in honor
of the divine Justice.
WE ALWAYS FELT. THE MARVELOUS AID OF OUR GUARDIAN
ANGEL
We don't want to take leave nor of Ancilla, nor of God's good
angels while leaving by the door of the hell this world of
the angels, through which she/it acted us as guide. We are
going to come back, once again, toward the throne of pope
Magpie XI, so that he/it tells us what are his/her/its relations
with his/her/its guardian angel and what he/it thinks some.
September 2, 1934, of it celebrates it of the Saints guardian
angels, Magpie XI spoke to a crowd of children come of all
the Italy.
We attach a big importance, said the holy Father, was not
that that by simple to owe recognition, already, to declare
you that always, we felt the marvelous help of our guardian
angel. We feel and very frequently note, that our guardian
angel is close to us, ready has attend us and to help us.
It is what your guardian angels also make to you all, dear
children,: they are always there, always full of love, always
heedful. The certainty that we have to be kept by a prince
of the celestial court, by one these chosen minds of which
the Savior, talking to the children, said that they constantly
see the divine Majesty; this certainty, I say, must not only
inspire us the respect and the devotion, but again an absolute
confidence. This confidence is necessary; it must appear when
we have to accomplish a laborious duty and that we feel the
difficulty to hold a good resolution. It is whereas it is
necessary to count all especially on help, the defense and
the protection of the guardian angel. The prayer is, in such
cases, the most authentic and the best expression of our confidence.
These beneficial words of S. Bernard, concluded the Saint
Father, our mother engraved them in our heart since our first
steps, as soon as we were capable to understand them. They
sustained us in everything that, with God's grace, we could
accomplish during our life; they will be again, we have the
conviction, our support and our help of it for the rest of
life that the Lord will want to grant us. So either him. &

THE
KNIGHT FRIEDRICH VON LAMA
Brief biographic note
The
knight Friedrich von Llama, was born September 4, 1876, in
Salzburg. After his/her/its studies gymnasiales in Regensbourg,
he/it first of all dedicated himself/itself at the bookstore,
then to the journalism. As advertiser, he/it was corresponding
in Rome of big Catholic newspapers, until 1915 where he/it
must leave Italy. He/it settles then in Bavaria. It is there
that he/it composed his/its religious politico works and wrote
his/her/its periodic towers of horizon on the religious events.
Next to this activity, he/it took care more and more mystical
phenomena, especially due to the demand that was made him
by M. the Naber vicar of Konnersreuth, the village of Theresa
Neumann, stigmatized it well known, whose knight von Llama
was the first biographer. In 1928 already, the knight von
Llama, had undertaken the struggle against the Nazism and
tempted to fight it in popular assemblies. Due to his/her/its
refusal to go at the urns in 1938, he/it was stopped a first
time by the Gestapo. One invented against him an accusation
of high treason. He/it was loosened nevertheless at the end
of six months. New arrest in 1941, under the indictment of
perfidy (Heimtücke), von Llama having written in a letter,
that one could not know the truth in Germany. One managed
once again to reduce the accusation to a business of simple
police, but at the time of his/her/its widening, a civil servant
of the Gestapo declared: & laquo If we stop it a third
time it will be necessary that he/it dies. & raquo January
14, 1944, one stopped it for & laquo listens to Radio-Vatican
& raquo; February 9, 1944, it had died. His/her/its cadaver
carried to the neck of the blue stains: he/it had been, one
way or another, & liquidated laquo & raquo.
Appendix
Sermon of circumstance for the feast of her & laquo Autographs
some Angels. in Einsiedeln, September 21, 1924. That day,
there was also in this international place of pilgrimages,
a group of 3000 pilgrims of the Allg1iu (Germany). As undisputed
chief of the German episcopate, the cardinal Faulhaber von
was, thanks to his/her/its grants remarkable of preacher,
one of the strongest objectors to Hitler.
& laquo I fell to the feet of the angel to adore it, but
he/it tells to me: & laquo Stops! I am only your mate
of service and the one of your brothers: adore God & raquo
(Apoc. XXI, 8). The church of the convent of Einsiedeln is
decorated everywhere with profusion, of faces of angels. Who
therefore counted ever them, the big and the small angels,
in the choir of the church, in the nave, in the octagon of
the holy chapel; the angels who populate the corners and the
recesses, the pillars; the angels colored in stucco, who throw
some flowers, do carry some phylactères, do blow in trombones;
who sing Gloria and Sanctus, and of which the hands and the
feet express an exultant Hallelujah? The odd art places us,
us pilgrims of this earth, in the middle of the choirs of
the angels and wants to tell us: & laquo Here, you are
not anymore on the earth, you are in the sky: here is the
court of the God of the armies! & raquo In the sanctuary
of the holy Writing, we also find the angels in all ins and
outs. They are mentioned in addition to three hundred places,
under various denominations. They appear soon individually,
soon in legions, soon in myriads, around God's Throne. Let's
explore today this sanctuary of the holy Writing in this day
of her & laquo Autographs some Angels & raquo, let's
savor this consoling truth: the peoples have, them also, of
the guardian angels. That every human person has a guardian
angel, it is there a fact attested by a whole set of passages
of the Bible: & laquo Because, says the Psalmist, He/it
gave order to His/her/its angels to keep you in all your ways.
They will carry you on their hands, for fear that you knock
the foot against the pierre» (Ps. XC, 11-12). Designating
the children, the Christ declared solemnly: & laquo Their
angels constantly contemplate my Father's Face that is in
the cieux» (Math. VIII, 10). The epistle to the Hebrews speaks
of minds intended to serve, sent in mission for those that
must inherit the salute (I, 14). It is for our consolation
that these two truths have been revealed us in the Saint Writing:
all man has his guardian angel. That one permits us, today
precisely, where the peoples seem abandoned of all good minds,
to ask three questions concerning the angels of the peoples
and to answer there.
First question: WHY do THE PEOPLES HAVE THEM NEED
OF GUARDIAN ANGELS?
1. L 'biblical history gives us the answer: it is a people's
guardian angel's that relates the beautiful text scripturaire:
& laquo has that I send my angel before you, to watch
on the way over you and to drive you in the country that I
prepared to you (Ex. XXIII, 20). This consoling speech can
also be applied to all man. But originally and in his/her/its
sense first, she/it concerns a people's angel. When the military
situation of the people elected in had come to the worse and
that all hope had vanished, the Lord sent an angel who hit
the Assyrians. It fortified the confidence within the people:
we are under housemaid keeps. And always, until the time where
the Corpses fought for the liberty, one continued big distress,
to pray in these terms, on time: & God laquo of the armies,
send this time again an angel to your people & raquo (II
Mac. XV, 22). According to Daniel's book, S. Michel was the
special protective angel of God's people (Dan. X, 13). He/it
wanted to delay the return of the Jews of the captivity, so
that their prophets can announce the true God longer again
to the people of Persia. The protective angel of Greece is
called, to Daniel's book also, & laquo the Prince of Greece
& raquo (Dan. X, 13). In the Acts of the Apostles, an
apparition in Macedonian costume calls S. Paul to pass from
minor Asia in Macedonia in these terms: & laquo Passes
in Macédonie and come to our help & raquo (Act. XVI, 9-10).
This apparition was the guardian angel of Macedonia that,
by this call, opened to the Christian mission the passage
in Europe.
2. Why do the peoples need a guardian angel?
History gives us the answer. The minds bad of the hell have
been defeated by the Christ's death, but they keep again,
until the last Judgment, a certain liberty of movement, like
a dog attached to a long chain. From time to time, the bad
minds bring up the abyss, sometimes in legions; they browse
the earth, trying possible so someone to devour. Soon they
drag the peoples to the service of the idols and to the loss
of the faith; to the decadence of customs, to the hate of
God's church) of a manner and under shapes so inhuman, that
we are forced to say: these are not there of the men who act,
these are infernal minds. There, as says the people, the devil
is unleashed. Soon the demons hit the peoples toughly, all
as they hit the poor Job, to make curse them God in the face.
L57; history of the peoples has, probably none, a diabolic
plot. But the divine Providence doesn't let the bad minds
make everything that they want in the life of the peoples
arbitrarily; nor to weave history freely. In His/her/its love,
God gave to His Church all power to hunt the bad minds by
the means of the exorcisms, the blessed water and other sacramentals.
The divine love opposed besides to the power superhuman of
the Bad, a strength superhuman of the Good,: the guardian
angels of the peoples. The peoples need guardian angels therefore!
They must be defended by the good minds of the sky, when they
are attacked by the bad minds of the hell.
3. The religious history gives us the answer
The holy Writing mentions us two luminous examples. Satan
wanted to carry away Moïse's cadaver to drag Moïse's people
thus to the cult of the idols. But S. Michel, guardian angel
of the people, spread his shield on the body, and separated
the seducer (Jud. I, 9). To the book of the Zacharie prophet,
we read that Satan wanted to remove to the people his/her/its
priests; according to the ancient tactical of the hell, that
consists in hitting the pastors first of all, then - game
of children - the herd. But the angel of the Lord promises
the people's big priest the help of the good angels (Zach.
III, 7). The tactics of the bad minds is stayed the same since
they were precipitate in hell until today. The peoples have
need therefore, today again, of guardian angels. The guardian
angels are not, as God, present everywhere at a time, but
they are fast as the lightning, when they have to execute
a mission on behalf of God. They don't know all as God, but
they are wiser than all statesmen and a people's scientists.
The angels are not almighty as God, but they are more powerful
than a people's strengths. As well as the keeping of order
in the nature is bound to the natural laws (these laws of
the nature act, to the biblical sense, as God's fingers),
so, in God's plan, the social keeping of order between the
peoples is assigned to the angels. In the limits of their
mission, the guardian angels siègent to the Council of the
peoples. They contribute, some counter-ma1tres of God, to
make the universal history, the history of the church especially.
They make all so that the truth triumphs over the lie, the
right of the injustice and especially so that the good triumph
of the pain. We answered the first question therefore: why
do the peoples need guardian angels?

Second question: THAT MAKES THE GUARDIAN ANGELS FOR THE PEOPLES?
The
guardian angels of the peoples have a triple mission:
Rafael's mission, the one of Gabriel, the one of Michel. Rafael's
mission first, to guide the peoples, the one of Gabriel to
bring to the peoples the Good News of the salute, Michel's
mission to execute the judgment of the peoples.
1. The guardian angels of the peoples have Rafael's mission,
to guide the peoples. The first speech of the Bible concerning
the service of the guardian angels by the peoples is this
one: & laquo has that I send my angel... to drive you
in the country that I prepared to you. & raquo as well
as the Rafael archangel was, for the young Tobie, a mate and
a guide, the guardian angels of the peoples must, in bigger
proportions, to help this same to those grant they have the
load, to guide them and to protect them. A people's true chiefs
is not those that rise above of themselves this people, but
those that are sent by God. The conduct and a people's government
are, naturally, between the hands of men, but all chief must
be called to his load by God, of a manner where the second
reasons (such the historic data, or the choice of the peoples)
can express God's Will, even without direct revelation. The
human chief stays responsible, even though he asks for itself
of God's speech: & laquo But you, go and drive my people
where I told to you. My angel will walk before you" (Ex. XXXII,
34). In one time where so many hands stretch themselves to
lead astray the peoples, he/it remains a consoling speech:
these are the guardian angels who must drive the peoples.
They must especially drive the peoples to the goals more raised
of the spiritual culture. The economic struggle for the acquirement
of goods of this world diverts our looks of the supernatural
goods of the eternity a lot too easily. The terrestrial pleasure
seduces the hearts more easily that the promise of the sky.
The terrestrial weight has more effect on the man guided by
the senses, that the threat of the hell. The creature has
the Creator a lot too easily forgotten. It is necessary therefore
that the faith to the angels, that the cult of the angels,
indicate to the humanity again in walk, the true path and
direct it toward a more elevated goal: & laquo Searches
for the things of in top" (Collar. Ill, 1). Don't sink in
the terrestrial things! Raise yourselves, as on wings of angels,
until the supernatural things, until a higher spiritual culture.
In the same way again, the angels must drive in the path of
the truth. The men are so difficult to drive, so easy to seduce!
As much they listen to the eternal truths with difficulty,
as much they believe the false doctrines easily. As much they
put little readiness to obey the religious truth, as much
they walk of a light foot in the bad way of the intriguing
slogans. No lie, so incredible either him, that is yet believed.
How could one imagine therefore and even to believe this absurdity,
that at the time of the next Council, the pre-eminence of
the pope and the confession would be abolished? The guardian
angels want to play for the peoples Rafael's role on the path
of the truth.
2. The guardian angels of the peoples have Gabriel's
mission,
to
bring them the Good News of the salute. Gabriel was, in the
former Will already, the special messenger of the salute.
It is he more that carried to the Savior's Mother, the first
Ave Maria and was the guardian angel of the man's Son. The
gospel according to Jean saint tells us that the Christ, even
as man, was surrounded with a troop of angels: & laquo
You will see the open sky and God's angels going up and to
descend on the "man's Son (Jo. I, 51). After the first Pentecost,
the messengers of the salute prepared to clear the borders
of the holy Earth to bring the Good News in the pagan world.
In the same way, when previously, the hour of the gr.1ce sounded
for Egypt and that the first laic deacon must be caused again
for this Egypt dived in darkness, it was an angel who sent
on the path of the minister of Egypt coming back from Jerusalem,
deacon Philippe, to instruct it and to baptize it (Act. VIII,
26). When Pierre, the first chief of the church, was in jail
and that the young Church, private of his/her/its pastor,
was in the tribulation, it was an angel who opened him the
doors of the jail and delivered the pastor of the hands of
Hérode (Act. XII, 7).
3. The guardian angels of the peoples have the mission of
S. Michel,
to execute the judgment of the peoples. S. Michel, the angel
of the struggle against the pain and against the enemy's ambushes,
is also the angel of the Judgment. He/it is known like such
in the liturgy of the church. The peoples are judged in this
world. In the beyond, all national differences disappear.
Such is the sense of these words: & L laquo 'universal
history, it is the universal Judgment. & raquo The apocalypse
depicts in stages that freeze you until the moëlle of the
bones this universal history, in other words this universal
Judgment. With their seven trumpets, the angels prepare for
the Judgment and a scream announcing the misfortune sounds
through the peoples (Apoc. VIII, 8-9). The day of the crop
of the universal history, the man's Son will send all His/her/its
angels; they will bind in sheaves the bad grass and will collect
wheat in the attics of the Lord (Math. XIII, 39-41,49). It
is not necessary to represent us a people's guardian angel
like an attorney general therefore, or a guardian to short
view, always giving reason to his/her/its pupil and covering
all his/her/its silliness blindly. The guardian angels of
the peoples not only have to guide, as Rafael; not only to
announce the salute, as Gabriel, they have again to execute
God's judgments; as Michel. They must take makes and reason
for God's Law, to require some men the obedience to God's
commands, to execute God's plans on the world, it was necessary,
to make it, to walk on the cadaver of peoples. In the apocalypse,
the bishops are called & laquo angels & raquo (Apoc.
II, 1, 12, etc.), because the bishops participate in this
triple mission of the angels: to drive in the path of the
truth, to announce the Good News of the salute, to proclaim
God's judgment. You will ask me: & laquo If the angels
of the sky siègent to the Council of the peoples, do separate
Lucifer's horde and work to the salute of the peoples, why
the peoples they are not up to here more advanced in the way
of the salute? Why the powers of darkness are not, since a
very long time, precipitate in the abyss?
Why don't the peoples know, since a very long time,
one spring of prosperity, a paradise of peace? & raquo
The answer? It is that, in spite of all their science and
their power, the angels must count with the human liberty.
It is that, as God Himself, they don't oblige by strength
the man to make the good. Not even when a man, when a people
goes to his loss, while making a bad use of his/her/its liberty.
All man can get lost in spite of his good angel. The peoples
can, them also, in spite of the calls of their protective
angel to let spend the hour where God visits them. The continuous
pain his/her/its devastations in the life of the peoples because
the angels have like word of order: & laquo Lets grow
together what is good and what is bad until the crop" (Math.
XIII, 30).
Every time that sounded one hour of salute and that the work
of the salute made a big step forward in his/her/its walk,
we see the angels to the work. The apocalypse tells us: &
laquo Of the hand of the angel brought up toward God the prayers
of the saints & raquo (Apoc. VIII, 3 sq). Where a community,
where a crowd of pilgrims asks all their heart, as makes it
today our pilgrims before the miraculous statue of Einsiedeln,
the angel collects these prayers in his/her/its censer of
gold to make bring up them, like an incense, toward God's
Throne. and to plot in the mud what is consecrated? If the
angels are the cantors of the big choir that sings & Sanctus
laquo ", the peoples who are lower to them, can they introduce
a false note in this choir, while tolerating the public blasphemy
that the official profanation of the day of the Lord and the
contempt of God's rights constitute in the public life?
Third
question: THAT can LEARN THE PEOPLES OF THEIR GUARDIAN ANGELS?
1. They can learn some to put forward God's rights in the
public life and to honor what is holy. The angel that the
holy Writing calls & laquo Angel of the alliance &
raquo, was the apparition of covered God of the dress of light
of an angel. Before the Father's Verb took the human appearance
and made itself man, the Logos sometimes took, temporarily,
the appearances of an angel in dress of light, without becoming
yet angel. This angel of the alliance accepted that one returned
him the divine honors. But these divine honors, the angels
refused that one returned them to them. S. Jean falls to the
feet of the angel that opened him and designated the book
of the prophecies. But the angel tells to him: & laquo
Stops! I am only your servant yours and to your brothers.
Adore God. & raquo (Apoc. XIII, 8.) But whereas these
angels, who are at the summit of the hierarchy of the beings
created, don't admit any idolatrous honor, do the peoples
have them the right to deliver itself/themselves to the idolatry
of their nation and their State? If the powers of the sky
don't delight anything to God of the honors that are due to
Him, the powers of the earth can tolerate them of the foreign
gods in the country.
2. What can the peoples of their guardian angels learn?
Moral formation and public respect of the etiquettes, there
is what they can learn some. The Acts of the apostles tell
us that the ten commands have been given by the hand of the
angels (Act. VII, 38). However, the ten commands are the foundation
of the prosperity and the happiness of the peoples. The alliance
of Sinai must stay sacred in the administration of the justice
and the laws of the state must protect the newborn life. To
let, without putting no brake there, doesn't need the demons
of the immorality and the alcoholism to become the gravediggers
of the public health. A people should be ashamed owing his/her/its
guardian angel, that in the spectacles, the literature, the
fashion, one excites the man's beastly instincts. As if the
man was closer to the beast that of the angel! Keep on the
mounts the immaculate edelweiss, watch over the lily in the
valleys! God's angels is close to the peoples. The Savior
puts in guard against the scandal given to the children. Why?
& laquo because their angels see the "Father's Face (Math.
XVIII, 10). The apostle requires that the women present themselves
in appropriate holding in God's House. Why? Because of the
angels who are in God's House (I Horn. XI, 10).
3. What could the peoples of their angel learn?
They
could learn what I will call it of it & laquo diaconat"
of the charity that gets to the service of others. Although
dived entirely in God's worship, the angels are however ready
to fly to the service of the men. Oh! so only, in our life,
the love of God and the neighbor's love looked mutually at
themselves, face-to-face, like the two Cherubs of the alliance
ark! Teach us your secret, beloved angels,: the secret to
unite to such point God's service and the one of the men,
that one drives to the other! The angels bend toward the men,
the big toward the small, the blesseds toward the poor wretches.
Such is he & laquo diaconat" in God's Kingdom. Parents,
masters and, with them, all those that, by profession, dedicate
themselves to the education of youth and to his/her/its formation,
all exercise a & laquo angelic diaconat" all special and
should ask the guardian angels of the children of which they
take care often, all as the preacher asks the guardian angels
of his/her/its listeners, all as the missionary invokes the
protective angel of the pagan country that he wants to win
to the Cross. Switzerland must have a special guardian angel
of charity to the service of others. Sixty years ago, the
Red Cross left from Switzerland, to take care of the injureds
of war. During the world war, Switzerland took care of the
internees with an unforgettable goodness and after the war,
in works of very big span aid, she put on foot and organized
in Germany of the popular kitchens for the starved. There
is, on the mountains of Switzerland, a vivid beauty. It is
not the burst of the rhododendrons, nor the luminous reflection
of the declining sun on the summits of the mountains of Switzerland;
it was, these last years, like a reflection of God's goodness.
4.What do the peoples of their guardian angels
learn?
They should learn the song of the peace of it on the earth.
The song of the angels canned food his/her/its ancient melody:
& laquo Glory to God at the height of the heaven and on
the earth peace to the hommes» (Luc. II, 13). Pilgrims, you
that, in the confession, found here the peace of the soul,
for the joy of God's angels; you that you are fed today the
Bread of the angels, it is necessary that upon your return
in your homes you spoke the language of the angels: the language
of the charity. It is necessary that you sang the song of
the angels: the song of the peace in the life of the souls
and peoples. The peoples have the worry of their daily bread.
Good angels, you that, after His/her/its long fasting, served
the Mr. in the desert, (Math. IV, 11), help the peoples, so
that improve the economic conditions! The peoples carry the
injuries of the world war. Good angels, make bubble, once
again, the miraculous waves of the swimming pool of Bethesda,
so that the peoples heal (Jo. V, 4). Hate, desire and faction
crush the peoples, as funerary stones. You can, 6 angels,
to remove the stones of the tombs (Math. 28, 2). The peoples
live, to so many viewpoints, wrong. Tell to them, 6 angels,
what you told the centurion Corneille previously,: & laquo
Calls Pierre» (Act.X, 5)! Call the church, with his/her/its
means of sanctification. And you, miraculous Virgin of Einsiedeln,
Queen of the Angels and Mother of the peoples, implore the
celestial Father to send twelve legions of angels, to defend
us of the bad minds on the earth. Mother of the grace! we
greet you of this Ave of which greeted you Gabriel, Bless
this country, on soil of which rises your sanctuary! Bless
homeland of the pilgrims of the Allgau! Mother who carries
the child, give us to all your blessing Amen.
PRAYER TO THE QUEEN OF THE ANGELS
Augustus Reine of the heaven and Mistress of the
Angels, who received of God the mission and the power to
crush Satan's head, we ask you humbly to send the celestial
legions, so that, on your order and with your power, they
pursue the infernal minds, that they fight them everywhere,
repress their audacity and drive back them in the abyss.
Very holy Mother of God, also send your invincible angelic
army to fight against the henchmen of the hell among the
men; foil the plans of the impious and all agitators of
the pain, Get to the sinners the grace of the repentance
and the conversion, so that they return to God and yourself
the honor that is owed you and so that triumph everywhere
the truth and the justice, OH celestial Auxiliatrice, continue
to protect by your Angels, through the world, your sanctuaries,
earnings of your favors; keep the churches and other holy
places, people and the sacred things, the holy tabernacles
of our altars. Don't permit that they are despised, desecrated,
robbed, either ruined destroyed. Prevent these attempts,
oh our good Mother, you can it and even, (forgive to your
children this exemption), you owe it: you have to Your service
the Angels, who only wait for a signal of you to defend
the honor of God and yours. Oh our Mother of the sky, finally
defend our families and our homes against the attacks of
their visible and invisible enemies. Make that your holy
Angels live there to make there reign the confidence, the
peace and the joy of the Holyspirit. Who is therefore like
God? Who is as you, oh Marie, Queen of the Angels and victorious
of the hell? Oh good Mother, oh soft Mother, immaculate
Wife of the King of the kings and Queen of the blissful
minds who contemplate it with you in the heaven, you are
and you will always be our love and our hope, our help and
our shelter! Blessing: That the Father's blessing, the Son's
charity, the strength of the mind-Saint, the maternal protection
of the Queen of the heaven, the care of the holy Angels
and the intercession of the Saints are with us and come
with us everywhere and always. Amen.

EXORCISM AGAINST SATAN AND THE REBEL ANGELS
To
publish by order of S.S.LéonXIII
This prayer,
composed to put the demon in flight can preserve big pains
the family and the society if, in particular, she/it is recited
with devotion; even by the simple faithful. One will use some,
especially in the cases where one can suppose an action of
the demon, appearing is by the spitefulness of the men, either
by temptations, the illnesses, the inclemencies, the calamities
of all sorts. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and
of the Holy spirit. Amen.
PRAYER TO SAINT MICHEL ARCHANGE
In
the name of Christ, our God and Lord, by the intercession
of the immaculate Virgin Marie, Mother of God, of the blissful
Michel Archange, of the blissful Pierre apostles and Paul
and of all Saints and strong of the authority consecrated
of our ministry (the laymen omit this member of sentence)
we undertook to repulse the assaults and artifices of the
demon confidently. Very glorious prince of the militia celestial,
holy Michel Archange, defend us in the fight against the princes
and the powers, against the domineering of this world of darkness,
against the mean minds spilled in air. Come to the help of
the men that God made to the picture of his/her/its own nature,
and purchased to big price of the tyranny of the demon. The
holy Church venerates you as his/her/its guard and his/her/its
protector. To you the Lord confided the mission to introduce
in the celestial congratulated the purchased souls. Ask the
God of peace therefore to crush Satan under your feet, so
that he/it cannot keep the men anymore in his/her/its chains
and can harm to the church. Present to the Very High our prayers,
so that without lingering the Lord makes us mercy. Yourself,
seize the dragon, the ancient snake, who is the devil and
Satan, and throw it chained in the abyss, so that he/it doesn't
seduce the nations anymore.
PSALM 67
That God rises and that his/her/its enemies are
dispersed; that run away those that hate it before his/her/its
face. As vanishes smoke, that they vanish like bottom wax
before fire, that the sinners disappear before God.
v. Here is the Cross of the Lord, escape hostile powers.
R. II triumphs, the Lion of the tribe of juda, David's offshoot.
v. That your mercy, Lord, either on us.
R. to the extent of our hope in you.
We exorcise you, that that you are, foul mind, satanic power,
horde of the infernal enemy, legion, assembly or diabolic
sect; to the name and by the power of Christ Notre-Seigneur,
be eradicated and hunted of God's church, of the souls created
to God's picture and purchased by the precious blood of the
divine lamb. Don't have the audacity anymore, treacherous
snake, to deceive the human kind, to persecute God's church
and to torment and to sift as wheat the elected of God. The
Very High God orders it to you; God to that, in your immense
pride, you pretend again to equal you; God who wants that
all men are saved and arrive to the knowledge of the truth.
God the Father orders it to you; God the Son orders it to
you; God the Holy spirit orders it to you. The Christ, Verb
of God makes flesh, order it to you, Him that, to save our
race lost by your hate, went down, making itself/themselves
obedient until the death; Him that built his/her/its Church
on the strong rock and enacted that the doors of the hell
will never prevail against it, because it will stay with it,
every day, until the consumption of the centuries. The virtue
hidden of the Cross orders it to you, as well as the power
of all mysteries of the Christian faith. The glorious Virgin
Marie, Mother of God, orders it to you, her that, in his/her/its
humility, crushed since the first instant of his/her/its immaculate
conception, your head mad of pride. The faith of the holy
Apostle Pierre and Paul and of the other Apostles orders it
to you. The blood of the martyrs and the devout intercession
of all Saints and Saints order it to you. So
therefore, cursed dragon and all diabolic legion we adjure
you by the living God, by the true God, by the holy God, by
this God who liked the world to the point to deliver his/her/its
Only son, so that whoever believes in Him didn't perish, but
possesses the eternal life: rest to deceive the human creatures
and to pour them the poison of the eternal perdition, rest
to harm to the church and to hinder his/her/its liberty. Rear!
Satan, inventor and master of all deception, enemy of the
salute of the men. Place to the Christ, some that you didn't
find anything of your (works. Place to the church, one, holy,
Catholic and apostolic that the Christ acquired at the cost
of his blood. Incline you under God's powerful hand, aspen
and flee to the invocation that we make this Jesus' holy and
dangerous name that makes tremble the hells, to that are submitted
the Virtues of the Heaven and the Powers and the Dominations,
that the Cherubs and Seraphs rent in the concrete without
end, saying,: Saint, Saint, Saint, is the Lord, God of the
armies.
V. Lord grants my prayer
R. And that my scream toward you.
V. The Lord is with You
R. And with your mind
Let's pray
God of the sky, God of the earth, God of the Angels, God of
the Archangels, God of the Patriarches, God of the Prophets,
God of the Apostles, God of the Martyrs, God of the Confessors,
God of the Virgins, God who has the power to give life after
the death, rest after work, because there is not another God
that You, and that he/it cannot have of it any other that
You, the Creator of all visible and invisible things, and
whose reign won't have of end, we implore your glorious Majesty
humbly to use his/her/its power to deliver us and to preserve
all tyranny of the infernal minds, of their traps, deceptions
and spitefulness. By Christ Our Lord. Amen. Of the ambushes
of the demon, deliver us, Lord. That your Church serves you
in the peace and the liberty: we carry of it to you, listen
to us. That the enemies of the holy Church are lowered: please,
listen to us. (One sprinkles blessed water the place where
one is.)

world. Misfortune to us! Do have us you forgotten therefore?
How could you untie an enemy as powerful, the prince of this
world who such a lion prowls everywhere looking for who to
devour? (I Petri V.8). Lord it was ever again maybe as dark
on the earth. Marie herself the strong Woman, Your Son's Mother
fled to the desert for 1260 days, before the superiority of
the strengths of the Dragon. The Dragon tries to devour the
Woman's child (Apoc. XII. 3). the doors of the hell threaten
our Church. In this hour of supreme distress, we remember
Your promise, Lord. (Apoc. XII. 17). don't have us you didn't
promise some allies to fight against the Dragon and his/her/its
demons? Didn't you send to each of us an angel who constantly
contemplates Your Face in the sky? Lord. God of the armies.
send your angels to our help, disperse darkness around us.
We cannot support the sneering laughs of hate of Your enemies
and the silence of so many Your servants anymore. Your Cherubs
wait only for the moment to fall such of the swords of flames
on Your enemies. How long will you hesitate again? Send them
therefore now Your angels, to dissipate such of the fire features
the darkness that darkens the sun in God's remoteness where
we add, and to mark our fronts of Your seal (Apoc. VII, 3).

go to the meeting of them carry-light of God: the angels,
these luminous created first beings! You, our allies, come
to our help! You, the nine choirs of the angels, sing to the
Lord a new song and rent his/her/its fidelity. Come to the
help of those that is, with you, His/her/its servants on the
earth. Come, such of the eagles to the help of their small.
SERAPHS, penetrate the universe in fire of the rays
of fire of your ardent love of the Very High God, Father of
Our Lord Christ!
CHERUBS, watch over the church of the
New Alliance as you protected the ark of the former Alliance
previously!
THRONES, link the minds of the rebellion
and blush the sky of the apocalyptic fires, according to the
mission that confided you the Lord,: & laquo Goes, empty
on the earth the seven cuts of God's anger & raquo (Apoc.
XVI, 1).
DOMINATIONS, institute God's Kingdom

change our tepidness in your goodwill for the Name of the
Lord!

the abyss of the hell this Lucifer who wants to establish
his/her/its throne at the height of the heaven. Show that
with God's help you are stronger than all his/her/its adversaries.
Saint Rafael archangel, carry our prayer before the Face of
the Very High, as previously the one of Tobie. Learn us to
observe God's commands and write down our good actions to
the Book of life. Saint Gabriel archangel, celestial messenger
of the incarnation of the Verb, bring back us the Marie desert,
as you brought back it of Egypt. You that were Marie's angel,
be also the guardian angel of this Church of which she/it
is the Mother. You all, angels of the Lord, don't work to
your Queen's sides, like an army arranged in battle, have
rest that she/it crushed the head of satan, the infernal snake,
and that she/it appears Herself in the sky, as the BIG SIGN
that the Lord promises (Apoc. XII, 1), as the Woman donned
of sun, with the moon under his/her/its feet and on the head
a crown of twelve stars. Amen. Arnold Guillet, January 1st,

PRAYER TO THE GUARDIAN
ANGEL
Impenetrable mystery! You that are an angel of the Lord, a
pure mind of one so big power; you that are more scholarly
than all our scientists, stronger than all our atomic contraptions;
you that exist since longer than the granite and the lunar
rocks; you that are continually in link with the most distant
of all worlds, the sky where you constantly contemplate the
Father's Face and see his/her/its Mysteries, you come with
me since my childhood, you are my protector and my guide in
my quest of the eternal God. Oh Jesus, it is You that have
us Yourself revealed this mystery. I thank you for all my
heart for this big grant. That she/it must be precious, my
soul, so that an angel of the Very High watches over each
of his/her/its movements and writes down to the book of life
my actions as would not know to make it no movie, no digital
magnetic tape. My angel, you that I never saw again, but whose
presence makes my happiness, let me conclude with you a pact
of friendship. I thank you to be stayed faithful to God, not
to have followed Lucifer and his/her/its henchmen. I thank
you for me to have taken in charge, me poor sinner. I am not
each day in danger to be unfaithful to God? And how much seriously
I get lost by my defaults! It is why I chose you for my guard
and my guide. I promise you fidelity and obedience in the
name of Notre-Seigneur. I ask you to punish me if I offend
God, to wake my attention up if I run Dear angels, My soul
must be you dear, since for her God's Son poured His Blood.
What the Christ cherishes, you also cherish it you. It is
why, allow me to recommend you my soul, so that I finish pure
and without stain my pilgrimage here below and that up there
I see, in your company, The one that you adore as your King
and that I like as my Brother. Amen.
