"VOS AMICI MEI ESTIS, SI FECERITIS QUAE EGO PRAECIPIO VOBIS"
("You are My friends if you do what I command you.")

"Jesus, the Meek, the Wise, His Love is so great for men that He wants to save them in spite of everything." (45th Message)
The first time He descended among them, He, the Holy, the Good, the Just, was soon chased out of the world, and raised on a Cross at the age of 33 by sinful Man inspired by satan. Immediately raised up by the Hand of the Father, Resurrected and "ascended to Heaven on the cloud", He received the name of "Lord" and "all power was given to Him on Heaven and on earth". He is seated at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty from whence He will come to judge the living and the dead."
The ardent hope of the first generations of Christians, awaiting the King whose "Kingdom will have no end", was the return of the "Lord" in glory. They called this event "Parousia", a Greek word meaning "presence" designating the first visit of a King to his cities. For the Return of the Lord Jesus will be His "royal apparition" in His Holy City, Jerusalem, as Supreme Ruler and Judge, overflowing with meakness and mercy. Holy Scripture uses with the same meaning the words: advent, manifestation, apparition, apocalypse, revelation.It will indeed be the major, ultimate and definitive event of sacred history, the universal social triumph of Christ the King avenging His personal annihilation and the social lowliness of His first advent, from the cave in Bethlehem to the Cross of Golgotha.
The apparent "delay"
of this return,a delay granted to mankind by the mercy of the
Father, has caused the predicted waning of charity, and the
progressively diminishing expectancy or"eschatological hope",despite
The Lord's Prayer, endlessly repeated:"Adveniat Regnum Tuum".
-(May Thy Kingdom come"!) And Christians, in the wake of the
world, have returned to the developement of passing ideals, of a worldly
paradise. Blinded by materialism, men have shut their
eyes to Heavenly Light and proclaimed that their darkness is
"light".
The great eschatological confrontation becomes inevitable with such a luciferian refusal, for "there is no other name under Heaven by which we can be saved" than the name of JESUS. The time of His return is near, the moment has been "fixed by the Supreme Power of The Father". He is coming to crush the Liar and his satellites in a terrible battle, "such as has never been since the beginning of the world until today, and which will never be again". (33rd Message)
Three hundred years ago, Jesus confided in "His Heart's eldest son", the French king, Louis XlV. It was in 1689. He asked four things of him through His Messenger, Saint Margaret Mary of Paray-le-Monial. The Institution of a Feast, and the building of a Temple in honour of His Royal Love; the consecration in this Temple of the kingdom of France, and the affixing of His Heart to the emblems of the royal Household. The Feast of The Sacred Heart was instituted for the whole of France in 1765, on the initiative of Marie Leszczinska, France's Polish Queen. The Basilica of the Sacre Coeur was voted by French Parliament in 1873, and built on the hill of Montmatre, but France has still not been consecrated to Him.............
Jesus will not capitulate. He wants hearts and He will have them, as He Promised:" I shall Reign in spite of My enemies!". Here He comes "on the clouds of Heaven". The Firmament half opens and The Glorious Cross, sign of The Son of Man, challenges the whole of humanity: "Everyone will see Him, even those who pierced Him". Then The Sacred Heart makes His Way with power and great glory, adorned with the insignia of royalty: the crown, the sceptre,, the royal robe. It is the Parousia! It is a manifestation of Spirit and of power, for it in hearts that He wants to establish His reign, hidden in the Eucharist through which He works. At Dozule as at Paray-le-Monial He revealed His Eucharistic Heart by appearing in Light emanating from His Presence in The Blessed Sacrament.
"He is coming to conquer the world and time" (28th Message)
"His return is near!"
He has warned humanity by an "ultimate and definitive Message", with Words from the Holy Scriptures, of which the Church is the safeguard, with Words from the Divine Liturgy.
"My Father, whose Goodness is infinite, wants to make His Message known to the world in order to avoid the catastrophe." (36th Message)
"Listen to Him!"
"AT THE NAME OF JESUS EVERY KNEE SHALL BEND."
CHRIST THE KING
The Apparitions at Paray-le-Monial
Saint Margaret Mary, born on July 22nd, 1647, on the Feast of St Mary Magdalen, entered the Visitation Convent of Saint Mary at Paray-le-Monial, at the age of 24, on June 20th, 1671.
During the nineteen years of her religious life, until her death at 43, on October 17th, 1690, she was in intimate and continual communication with Heaven. Right from the first few days She heard Jesus saying: "Listen My daughter, see and take notice, forget your father's house and the King will desire your beauty. O My Jerusalem, house of Israel! The Lord will guide you in all your ways."
"I could see Him and feel Him near me", she wrote, "and I heard Him much better than with my bodily senses. My Saviour accompanied me everywhere".
It is obvious that she did not have to report all these numerous visions and Messages, but she faithfully reported the important visions and Messages received for the world. There are not many and they are divided into two phases:
1. - THE FOUR GREAT APPARITIONS FROM 1673 to 1675
(at Dozule, the Message of the Heart of Jesus was also spaced out, three centuries later, from 1973 to 1975)
- First great apparition: on December 27th, 1673, on the Feast of Saint John (at Dozule, the first vision of Christ on the cloud was on December 27th, 1972)
Margaret Mary wrote:" The first special Grace that I seem to have received from The Sacred Heart was on the Feast of Saint John the Evangelist........."
She rested for a long time on the Saviour's Breast, like the beloved disciple on the night of the Last Supper. Then for the first time, she had the Vision of His Heart "as on a Throne all fire and flames, more shining and beaming than a sun, and as transparent as crystal. The Wound received on the Cross showed visibly. It was surrounded with a crown of thorns.....and a Cross above.... This Divine Heart expressed the ardent desire TO BE LOVED BY MEN and to withdraw them from the road to perdition where satan is precipitating them in large numbers".
-Second great apparition: on a First Friday in 1674. After the apparition of December 27th, on each first Friday of the month, Sister Margaret Mary again had a vision of the Sacred Heart before the Blessed Sacrament exposed. (At Dozule, Jesus also invited Madeleine each First Friday of the month)
On one of these First Fridays in 1674:"Jesus Christ, my Sweet Master presented Himself to me, dazzling with Glory, with His Five Wounds, shining as five suns, and from this Sacred Humanity streamed flames from everywhere, but mainly from His Adorable Breast. "He complained of the coldness, refusal and ingratitude of souls and asked, in compensation, for two practices: A Holy Hour of Reparation during the night of Thursday to Friday and Communion on the First Friday of each month.
-Third great apparition: Vision of the Holy Trinity. towards the end of 1674.
After the second apparition, Margaret Mary, remained motionless in the chapel, in a painful state of prostration. Some of the nuns came to pull her out of it and assailed her with criticism and mockery, while her superior reproached her in a severe and humiliating way. These weaknesses continued for two months, more and more frequently, and they feared for her life.
One day, while in this state, she received a new vision: " The Three Persons of The Blessed Trinity presented themselves in the Form of Three young Men clothed in white all shining with Light, the same age, size and beauty."
The Eternal Father offered her a big Cross covered with thorns, saying:"Take it My daughter, I Give you the same present as I Gave to My Beloved Son!" "And I", said Jesus, "will tie you up to it as I was tied, and I will keep you faithful company. And The Holy Ghost declared that,being Love, "He would consume her on It, while purifying her."
In the end, on her superior's order, Saint Margaret Mary asked Jesus to cure her of her strange illness. It was Mary Who was entrusted with this task. She appeared to her and said:"Take courage, My daughter, in the health I am giving you on behalf of My Son, for you still have a long and painful Way to go, ever on the Cross, pierced with nails and thorns and torn with whips: but do not fear, I will not abandon you."
-The Fourth, called "The Great Apparition" : was during the Octave of Corpus Christi, 1675.
Margaret Mary was in the chapel, adoring The Blessed Sacrament. Jesus opened His Heart to her and said:"Here is this Heart which as so loved men that it has not spared Itself anything, to the point of exhausting and consuming Itself to testify It's Love for them. And in recognition, I only receive from most of them ingratitude, contempt, irreverence, sacrilege and coldness in this Sacrament of Love. But what effects Me most is that it is those hearts who have been consecrated to Me who act in this way."
It was then that Jesus asked that a Feast should be dedicated to His Heart on the Friday following the octave of Corpus Christi.
Such were the great apparitions between 1673 and 1675.
The ardent wishes expressed by The Sacred Heart then had to be brought about.
In 1684, nine years had elapsed since the last "great apparition". Sister Margaret Mary became Novice Mistress. It was then that, in spite of the nuns' scoffing, she started to spead in the Novitiate the devotion to The Sacred Heart as she had received and seen It. By the end of her life the whole community at Paray was converted to this devotion and gained a renewal of fervour, presaging the renewal of all humanity, when hearts will really open themselves to the Merciful Heart of Jesus.
ll.- THE SIX PROMISES AND THE MESSAGE TO LOUIS XlV FROM
1685 to 1689
(at Dozule, the Sacred Heart made nine great promises to humanity
and gave a message to the nations on all Saints Day, 1974.)
- The promises made at Paray-le-Monial offered special spiritual benefits to individuals (at Dozule, the promises were made to social groups). He promised:
1) That all those devoted and consecrated to Him would never perish. "Jesus' Heart will be a safe shelter for them against the ambushes of their 'enemies' but specially at the hour of their death."
2)That, being the source of all blessings, He would spread them abundantly in all places where the Picture of His Divine Heart was exposed and honoured.
3)That He would reunite divided families and would protect and help those in need, if they asked Him trustfully.
4)That He would spread the Sweet unction of His ardent Charity on all the communities which honoured Him and placed themselves under His special protection.
These four promises were made in 1685. The fifth, known as "The Great Promise", was made in 1688:
5) On a Friday during Holy Communion He said to His unworthy slave: "I Promise you, in the excess of the Mercy of My Heart, that its all-powerful Love will grant the grace of final perseverance to all those who receive Holy Communion on the First Friday of every month for nine consecutive months......and My Divine Heart, shall be their secure Refuge at that last hour."
The 6th, made in June, 1689, concerned Priests:
6)"This Divine Heart promises to spread the unction of It's Love on their words, with strong and powerful Graces, in such a way that they will touch the most hardened hearts of the most obstinate sinners, to draw from them the source of true penance which purifies and sanctifies souls" (compare with the 2nd and 9th promises of Dozule, below)
-The great message to Louis XlV (June and August, 1689.)
It was in a letter to Mother de Saumaise that Saint Margaret Mary related this last great Message of Paray-le-Monial, which was addressed to the King of France:"Jesus' Heart has still greater intentions, which can only be carried out by His all-powerfulness, which is able to do all it wants. He wishes to enter the houses of princes and kings with pomp and magnificence, to be honoured as much as He has been insulted, despised,humiliated in His Passion........"
To attain this supreme object, He asked four things of the temporal sovereign:
1)Consecration: Make it known to the eldest son of My Sacred Heart that, as his birth was obtained by devotion to the merits of My Holy Childhood, likewise he will obtain his birth in grace and eternal glory by his consecration of himself to My Adorable Heart, which wishes to triumph over him and through him, over those of the great ones of the earth."
2)Emblem: He wants it to reign in his palace, be painted on his standards and engraved in his arms......to make him triumph over all the enemies of the Holy Church."
3)Temple:The Eternal Father, wishing to make up for the bitterness and anguish that His Divine Son's adorable Heart has felt in the houses of the princes of the world, desires to establish His empire in the court of our great monarch, whom He wishes to use in the execution of this plan......to have a monument built, where the picture of His Divine Heart will be exposed, and receive here the consecration and homage of the king and the court".
4)Liturgical Feast: "This Divine Heart has chosen him (the king) as Its faithful friend, to have the Mass in Its Honour authorised by The Holy See".
-To conclude: The Feast and Mass were celebrated in Poland and in France as soon as The Holy See had aprroved them in 1765. The building of the basilica of The Sacred Heart was decided by Parliament in 1873 and erected in Montmartre. But the condition of the Reign of Love, the consecration of the hearts of France and the nations, has not yet been fulfilled.
At Dozule, the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus announced to the whole of humanity that His Reign of Love, requested of Louis XlV without effect, is near:"Rejoice, for the time is near when the Son of Man will return in glory." (14th Message) By His return"with great power and majesty", Jesus' Name will be glorified as much as it was humiliated and insulted in His first advent.
"God has made known what must happen tomorrow at dawn." (45th Message) Today is the time of man; twilight, the "end of time". Tomorrow will rise on earth, the dawn of the 8th day. The advent of the "kingdom of God"; "Behold, God's dwelling will appear among you." (48th Message.)
"The time is drawing near, see, I am coming! Amen!". (10th Message).

INTRODUCTION
1)Dozule.
Dozule is a large market town in Normandy in full expansion. It is situated off the Rouen-Caen motorday, equidistant between Pont-L'Eveque and Caen. The 1975 census indicated 1,310 inhabitants. The private school "Saint Joseph's" is run by nuns and has a chapel. At the other end of the village, on the left hand side in the direction of Caen, rises the "Hautte-Butte" covered with meadows and orchards which, with the Chapel, is the principal Place of the Apparitions.
The beautiful Parish Church, with its pure 13th and 14th Century gothic architecture, rises in the middle of the countryside,its massive square towers ending in ramparts. A double row of slender flying butresses flank the aisles and the central nave. Inside, a multiple array of columns, rising to the roof form a fine drapery of stone around The Blessed Sacrament. Finally, the high altar, forming a harmonious whole with the architecture is surmounted by a pedestal supporting a very beautiful Virgin with rays, given the place of honour in the central arch of the Sanctuary. At this altar during the evening of All Saints Day in 1974, under the extended hands of the Merciful Mother, during exposure of the Blessed Sacrament, The Host shone with Light and JESUS' Voice Gave to the nations the grave warning of the end of time.
This 1st November was also the first Friday of the month which is why, on that day the parish was honouring The Sacred Heart with an adoration of The Host, according to the request that had been made to Saint Margaret Mary. This circumstance was part of the Lord's Plan and He was heard asking His Messenger on His First Apparition, on June 12th, 1973;"Be so kind as to come here(to the chapel) each first Friday of the month".
It was from the monstrance that Jesus spoke to the world on this 1st November, without appearing, and it was always in the place of the tabernacle or monstrance that His Apparitions were to occur. The cult to The Eucharistic Heart, in this parish faithful to the Message of Paray-le-Monial, created a certain relationship between the Hautte-Butte and the well known Butte-Montmartre, where perpetual adoration has never ceased in the Basilica edified by national vow in 1873, since the institution of nocturnal adoration by Father Hermann's disciples, at the end of the XlXth century.
On All Saints Day 1974, the Eucharistic Heart's messenger, waiting for a new house, was still living until Christmas in the house facing the Butte. She is known by the name of "Madeleine", the name that Jesus pronounced thirteen times, four of them in Latin, during the course of the Apparitions.
2)Madeleine
Madeleine was born on October 27th, 1924, of a good family of agricultural workers, in Putot-en-Auge, at the foot of the Hautte-Butte (High Mound). At Baptism, she received the name of Madeleine, a predestined name which secretly designated her for an exceptional mission. As Mary Magdalen was sent to the Apostles, to announce the 'Good News' of Christ Risen from the dead, she herself will be sent to the Pastors of a scattered flock, to announce to them the glorious return of the Son of Man Who is coming to conquer evil and Reign with Love and Mercy.
Madeleine was married at Putot on August 14th, 1948. Five children were born into this working class family. After twenty years of marriage, on August 3rd, 1968, the family came to live on the outskirts of Dozule, opposite the Mound, a house near the beautiful stone calvary. Then after six years, they had to give the flat back, and the Sisters offered them a temporary refuge which they occupied from Christmas Eve 1974 until August 20th, 1976, the date on which they moved into their present house.
In 1970, just before their second Easter since moving to Dozule, she decided to fulfill her 'Easter Duties'. The Paschal Vigil fell precisely on March 28th, a notable date in the Apparitions. "This night is illuminated like the day", sings the liturgy. On Easter Morning, Madeleine received Holy Communion and entered the "admirable Light" of the Living God. She would never come out of it again: the following Sunday, again receiving Holy Communion, she was invaded by a Peaceful and unequalled Joy, in comparison with which no earthly pleasures have no more appeal. Something had just suddenly and definitely changed : Madeleine had been seized by the Light of Christ-Eucharist. For two years, her spiritual life was to intensify to daily Communion, and on Holy Tuesday, March 28th, 1972, there appeared to her opposite the house, a large luminous Cross at the top of the Butte. It was the first act of the Dozule Message.
Now, it was also on Holy Tuesday that Jesus announced the events of the End of Time, in His "eschatological discourse" that is reported by each of the four evangelists:
"As Jesus was coming out of the Temple with His disciples, one of them said:'Master, look, what stones! What building!'. Some of these white stones were eight meters long and two meters high. Nevertheless Jesus answered:
"Do you see this building? Well, not a stone of it will remain. Everything will be destroyed!" A few moments later when Jesus was seated on the slopes of the Mount of Olives, facing the ramparts of Jerusalem and the majestic Temple, the disciples, puzzled,ask:"Tell us when all this will happen and what will be the sign of your advent and the end of the world?"......What Jesus replied, the Dozule Message announces to the whole world, no longer as something to come, but as a unique and formidable drama which is unfolding under our eyes today:"You are living in the times when every event is the sign of the written Word." (28th Message)
3)THE MESSAGE
THE MESSAGE cries to the world that the return of Christ the King is near. The Sign of His advent is the Glorious Cross. This is why we must overflow with joy in everyone's presence and not lament like those who have no hope:"When these things begin to happen", concluded Jesus,"stand up and raise your heads, because your Deliverance is near"(Luke 21, 28)
The message comprises 49 visions, from March 28th, 1972 to October 6th, 1978. Here are some elements of synthesis to facilitate its understanding: There were 33 apparitions of Jesus to which can be added two quite short ones without words. As He always presented Himself in the place of The Eucharist, it would be more correct to say that The Eucharistic Heart appeared 35 times in the Chapel of Saint Joseph, nearly always in the presence of the Parish Priest and with the nuns as priveliged witnesses, making a verbatim report of the ecstasies each time. During the first eight Apparitions, Jesus did not show His Wounds. He showed them for the first time, and gave the Wound of His Heart to be touched, evoking the Mystery of The Resurrection, on May 31st, 1974. From this date onwards, the wounds were visible, and ten times in succession during the final Novena of Christmas 1975, He showed the wound of His Heart, from which emanated, as from a spring, white and red Rays.
Five visions took place without an Apparition: The Host shone like a sun while Jesus' Voice came from It (3 times). On two occasions, it was Saint Michael who spoke. The most important of these visions was the one on all Saints Day, 1974, during which Jesus, facing the people and the world they represented, pronounced a summary of the discourse He Gave long ago to His Disciples before The Holy City of Jerusalem.
The other nine visions were divided like this: Two Apparitions and Words from Saint Michael. Six Apparitions of The Glorious Cross and the seventh "on the clouds". These 49 Visions hide a Divine Plan, which seems to unfold in seven phases:
1)Preparatory phase, in 1972: First Apparition of The Glorious Cross on March 28th (Holy Tuesday); an interval of seven and a half months; an Apparition of the Cross in November, and the last five in December.
2) Inaugural phase of the Holy Year, in 1973-1974: an interval of five and a half months.
from May 31st to November 1st 1974. It was the phase of Saint Michael who appeared for the first time on May 31st to present the mysteries of the Redeemer. On November 1st he did not appear, as if remaining in the background because of Christ the King's terrible Words: a three and a half month interval.
from February 14th to Good Friday, March 28th, every Friday. This Good Friday was the third anniversary of the first vision of the Glorious Cross. Now, on this day, the whole Church was celebrating the sorrowful Cross. The Risen Christ appeared in the Church, (It was the only apparition in the Church) at the end of the apse where the Sacred Reserve was in repose, for the High Altar was completely stripped and the Tabernacle empty and open, as a sign of mourning. Jesus warned that it was no longer time to cry over His death, for He is going to return in glory and asked that the 28th March should become a solemn Feast of His Glory.
From April 11th to September 19th, 1975. Six visions, then a two and a half month interval.
and novena prolonging the Holy Year: December 5th and twenty days later, Christmas Day, while Pope Paul Vl closed the Jubilee Door: first day of the novena of The Sacred Heart Apparitions, which ended on the first Friday of the month, January 2nd 1976.
After an interval of eighteen months an apparition of Saint Michael on the First Friday, 1st July, 1977, with radiance of the Host; then a radiance of the Host on the First Friday, December 2nd. At last Jesus reappeared three times in 1978, after two years and a month of silence: the First Friday of the month, February 3rd, then on the First Fridays, July 7th and October 6th, announcing the general judgement in the terms of the last chapter of the book of the Apocalypse.
All these phases were nearly always seperated by intervals, and framed by the most important visions: the 1st and 7th, 8th and 16th, 17th and 21st, 28th, 35th and 44th. This rapid survey reveals the wonderful Divine Plan, hidden to credulous eyes while it constitutes a strong proof of authenticity for the spirit attentive to God's Word.
There are still many points to remark. Here are some of them:
* The first Friday apparitions:it was on June 12th, 1973, that Jesus asked Madeleine to come to the Chapel "every First Friday". It is to be noted that none of the seven previous visions took place on a Friday, and June 12th was a Tuesday.
