She gained fresh light and saw more clearly into the meaning of the Devotion with each of the great feasts of the Church's year.
"The Annunciation, 1881"
"Almighty God has on several occasions instructed me regarding the great
mystery of the Incarnation and I feel sure I have written on it before. I see
more clearly now though why Our Dear Lord is called the Word, because He is
produced by the Fathers thought or contemplation of Himself, for St John says:
"In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was
God and the Word was made flesh.' I think that in all it pleases the Almighty
One to show me He wishes to instruct me more and more fully concerning His
infinite Wisdom and love.
And although the Son and the Holy Ghost are equally powerful, yet the Almighty
Power is attributed in a special manner to the Eternal Father and as the three
Divine Persons have the same Wisdom and Goodness Yet the Wisdom is particularly
attributed to the Son and the Goodness to the Holy Ghost, and we render a great
homage to the ever Blessed Trinity by adoring our dear Blessed Lord's Sacred
Head as the Seat of Divine Wisdom.
The Ascension 1881
"When I knelt to adore the thrice blessed Trinity for all the glory of the
sacred Humanity, I was caught up as it were and dissolved in the excessive heat
and glory of the Sun of Divine Justice, and I heard sounds of Praise and songs
of joy in the heavens which echoed and re-echoed from the earth, and they were
hymns of thanksgiving and admiration of the Seat of Divine Wisdom. Then I saw
reflected in the large crystal the glory which the ever blessed Trinity would
receive from the devotion to the Sacred Head and the numberless souls that would
be guided by its light to the bosom of the true Church and eventually to the
throne of God.
I understand too that this should be the one great means of the conversion of
poor dear England, and that it was not far distant when she would bow her
understanding to the obedience of faith and repair in some manner through this
Devotion the great evil of her apostasy, and that Mary's name and Mary's Son
should be more honored than ever they had been dishonored by our people.
Whitsuntide 1881,
I saw how the Sacred Head was in a special manner the dwelling place of the Holy
Ghost, and as at the moment of Creation the Spirit of God moved upon the waters,
so He is ever enshrined in the Sea of glass and His brightness is the light
thereof, and His love the Sun that gives light and governs all things in this
terrestrial and celestial Paradise as the sun rules the things of earth. I have
understood from our dear Blessed Lord that He wished the great mystery of the
Incarnation to be made very clear (or taught very carefully) to the children.
On Corpus Christi Our Lord again appeared to her:
June 19, 1881
Then He really came and gave me Holy Communion Himself and drew me entirely to
Himself, even as a rain drop into the ocean, and there He represented to me the
great desire He had to have the Seat of Divine Wisdom honored and He instructed
me in this manner: that the uncreated Wisdom of God is God the Father, Son and
Holy Ghost, and that God the Son, becoming man and being the Image of the
uncreated Wisdom of God, built for Himself a house. And as Jesus has promised to
remain with us forever, so He and the Spirit of Truth will guide and govern and
enlighten His Church to the end of time. As I saw Him as a sun by the heat of
this Sun of Divine Justice and guided by its light ascend to the great white
throne to adore the ever blessed Trinity in persons and Unity in Essence.
Then when I went into church He urged me more and more to make known His desire,
and there seemed to be a crown of fire which consumed His Sacred Head and ate
into the very brain and He said: "Behold the burning desire I have to have
My Sacred Head honoured as I have instructed you."
