REVELATION OF FEBRUARY 27, 1844

Our Lord reveals to Sister Mary a method by which she is to become the spiritual ambassador of her country to intercede before God and to beg Him to show mercy to the guilty.

THE FOLLOWING is what transpired in my soul today after Holy Communion. Our Lord told me to receive Him in the Sacred Host as King, and to offer Him my soul for His dominion. He then urged me to present myself before Him in the name of our nation, as an ambassador offering Him my Communion in the spirit of reparation for the crimes of which our nation is guilty, particularly those against the Divine Majesty, and those against holy Church.

Having received this Divine King, I earnestly laid before Him the spiritual needs of our country. Then He, communicating Himself further to me, told me that He entrusted the country of France to my care, appointing me as its ambassador, so that I could negotiate about terms of peace with Him. He said that to acquit myself of this important post, I must in great humility remain at His feet in the Most Blessed Sacrament, praying for our country and for the establishment of the Work of Reparation.

He next instructed me to examine seriously the weighty role an ambassador must fulfill, warning me to remember that when such an ambassador leaves a country, it is the signal for war, and that therefore I must not voluntarily retire from His presence in the Blessed Sacrament, but at least in spirit remain there in the name of France.

I, therefore, answered Him by saying, "My God, I have given myself entirely to You for the accomplishment of Your designs. Do in me as You will." Accepting the obligations which God had now imposed on me I begged Him to make me worthy of His designs or, better still, to accomplish Himself His Will within me.

As for this adoration of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, for several days now, our Lord keeps me so united to Him in the Eucharist, that even on leaving the choir to attend to my various duties, I am in spirit uninterruptedly at the foot of the altar where I leave my heart. Thus, no matter in which part of the house I find myself, I am always in sight of Him, keeping Him company. Such is the interior exercise which our Lord asks of me, for it is His Will that I remain ever before the Blessed Sacrament, in the name of our country, praying for it continuously.
