Marie-Julie Jahenny lived from 1850 to 1941. She does not appear to be as well known as she deserves, perhaps we could even say "needs to be"? The following is some information on her which may be of use or of interest. God bless you all.

Quote from: 2Vermont

Was this Church-approved?

The "Diary of Sister Faustina" was approved under JPII, and at the time he had not even read it, according to a footnote in the text of that book.

There is still a lot of controversy surrounding her evidently.

Similarly, the "Akita" prophecies, obtained full approval from the Japanese bishop at the time. But forty years later, the situation vis-a-vis Church approval is still in limbo.

Mary of Agreda wrote "The Mystical City of God," which received the Imprimatur back in the late 19th century, I believe.

Luisa Piccarretta is called "A Servant of God" by the Vatican, as of 2006.

Jesus said that His sheep do not know the voice of strangers and do not follow them.

I have found that the character of Jesus, His manner of communicating, His simple love, as well as simple severity, can be found in written revelations which span the centuries.

However, there is a counterfeit voice, bordering on hysteria, self-pity, and grandiose language, which afflicts some of the most well-known 'classics' of Catholic piety.

Something else to consider is that sometimes these "seers" and "stigmatists" provide voluminous writings, which frankly would take a lifetime of study to analyze and digest.

I compare these phenomena with Our Lady's messages through St. Lucia and Melanie Calvet of La Salette, which have a poetic brevity and clarity, even if mystery remains.

Going through the above examples, in my opinion, both the true and the false are represented.

This may not be the proper era to view the official "Church" as the best guide in these matters.

God speed.

DePauw, you are right and I have found the same thing. Regarding this stigmatist/ecstatic, according to what I have read, her life and mysticism was supervised by the local ordinary and her spiritual director. They felt it was of divine origin. But because of the nature of some of her revelations - esp. those critical of the clergy and hierarchy, and those warning of their future evil machinations and failings - she was scorned, not believed, and criticized, and to this day. This is what happened concerning LaSalette as Our Lady here says, and indeed to the Fatima 3rd secret: Since it is not convenient to the enemies of Our Lord to have this information out and about, they bury it or at least condemn it and attack those who are involved or who believe. That in itself can be a testament to its veracity -- "consider the opposition." She was alive both before and after St. Gemma Galgani. Her "calling" took place during the Papacy of such Popes as Leo and Pius X, and during the "old" Latin Mass, traditional Church era.

But here I say, read for yourself. Investigate for yourself. And take it to prayer.
