REVELATIONS ON THE WORK OF REPARATION GIVEN BY OUR LORD

TO

SISTER MARY OF ST. PETER AND OF THE HOLY FAMILY

REVELATION OF APRIL, 1843

In this Revelation our Lord emphasizes the necessity of honoring both the Heart of Jesus and the Heart of Mary. He urges souls never to separate these two hearts.

DURING MY LAST RETREAT it was judged opportune by my superiors to command me to write a brief summary of the supernatural favors which I had received from God in spite of my extreme unworthiness. Thus the prioress said to me:

"Sister, since God has withdrawn from you His extraordinary favors, perhaps it is because you have proved yourself unfaithful to Him. Offer to Him, therefore, acts of repentance for your infidelities and beg Him to restore your soul to that state which you enjoyed in the past, when He so often revealed Himself to you."

I obeyed and begged our Lord to forgive me my faults. At that particular time, however, my soul was extremely perturbed and it was difficult for me to pray at all. My imagination was like a runaway horse that I could not control. Nevertheless I implored the Saviour to restore my soul to a state of prayerful meditation since the prioress had ordered me to ask for this grace.

I in turn will forget your past faults and furthermore I will grant you even more graces than before because you are now more completely united to Me through your Vows."

As there arose within me a doubt as to whether it was really our Lord Who had spoken to me, I then heard Him say:

"It is I, Jesus, present in the Blessed Sacrament Who speaks to you. I have various ways of communicating with souls. Are you not able to perceive how calm and how united your soul is to Me at present, whereas only recently it was a prey to many distractions? Begin to do as I tell you and you will soon experience many beneficial results."

After that our Lord made me understand that I should not become attached to a devotion which gratifies the senses merely, and He gave me the light to see that people often follow after interior sweetness, thinking that they are following after Him.

Fulfilling our Lord's command, I began fervently to
