Micheline Boisvert: Our Meeting and our Experience Testimony of the Father Augustin TOMBE It doesn’t subscribe on the board of the advanced level studies done by psychologist, psychiatrist, sociologist, canonist or theologist attracted by this domain but as the title shows it, “this is the fruit of a meeting and an experience that has been for almost three years.” This is the reflect of a space of sharing, investigation, and ripening in the centre of her human life and her spiritual experience. 1. Our Meeting Since then, the Lord gave us a field of prayers, of sharing, of investigation about her spiritual experience and about my priest life. For three years, she constituted and constitutes for me and my christian and priesthood experience a kind of “mouth” and “ear” of the Lord. Written, by telephone, and after reading the two books of messages she received, I found a spiritual “richness” and “treasure” that brought me benefit upon my way. As reminder, beyond the meeting in Banneux , I had other intense moments of prayers and accompaniment, notably: - Paris (June 2002) In the intensity of her spiritual life, we strongly recommend the reading of the two books of messages received by Micheline Boisvert about The Welcoming Heart of Jesus – Gift from the Father Almighty (Edition du Parvis, Hauteville/Swiss 1999 and 2000). 2. Our Living 1º Micheline is a life 2º Micheline is a soul passionate for humanity She is an “untiring laywer” and also a “guard” of the Cross and of the step of this one. She digs in her life and her meditations the senses and the causes of the multitude suffering, the evil density in the world, and she constantly speaks about it to the Lord with preoccupation, relentlessness, and supplications. 3º Micheline is a “praying heart” 4º Micheline is an “humble and poor soul” All day long, she turns herself into this “purgatory mouth” in the name of the Lord, a kind of “microphone of the Lord.” She is in constant battle against everything that can carnally and humanly break the purity in her. This is where come from her relentlessness for the repentance each time she needs it. She has the capacity to forgive and to be forgiven if necessary and when it is needed. As a poor soul, she lives this spiritual poverty in the sense that she wants to purge her life from everything that is pride, indifference, unkindness, slander, envy, and other vices. On material plan, her life condition already tells a lot. Without personal property in term of house or apartment, no well-lined bank account, she tries to put into concrete form this order from the Lord, “First the Lord and His Kingdom.” (Bible St. Mathieu 6,25-34) She life every day from crumbs that are available to her and she spends most of her time in fast and prayers. Prayers tours, testimonies, and pilgrimages are the duty of some generous souls touched by the Lord through messages of the Welcoming Heart. These volunteer and kindly people are in charge of all the organisation i.e. transportation, food, accommodation, and others. For information and reminder, these are thousands of kilometres on the road without including the hard time of horrible sufferings and other caprices linked to summer (heat, tiredness, breathlessness.) Brief, she lives in a total detachment and a complete destitution from the material goods… The only refrain from her mouth, “Only the Lord will provide for it.” 5º Micheline is an attentive and discreet ear. She is gifted of a listening capacity and full of talent of discretion. She has time, she takes the time or create time to be at others’ disposal. On the phone of during individual contact, she gives herself to the others and she tries spiritually and humanly to carry and to share the questions of her interlocutors. As said, she makes a series of files and intentions to tell the Lord. This is where come from the weight of the suffering she suffers and lives during the Eucharist or during personal praying moments. Everything that she receives and she hears, she only is a relay for the Lord or speaking to the priests – as servants to the Lord – to start together a “chain”, a “prayers network” so that only the Lord can act in the heart and in the life of those who need His hand. This little board doesn’t tell everything about Micheline’s human life and her spiritual experience. This is just a modest testimony from a priest the Lord put on the traces of her life. She isn’t a saint, but she lives an invasion from the Lord, a “pact”, an alliance which needs a constant spiritual support from the priests and a personal iron discipline. This soul is seized by the Lord and a soul is looking for the Lord. Pointed as a “channel” and “instrument”, she lives a devotion, a surrender to the Lord and carries the torch of the cause of the Christ, and the humanity through the revelation of the mystery of the Welcoming Heart of Jesus – Gift from the Father Almighty. May your prayers and our faith be with her. Père Augustin Tombe 2 TESTIMONIES Presentation and testimony of Micheline Boisvert’s charisma by the father Tombe. Through these modest lines, my worry is not about to deliver a canonical censure nor to pretend to elaborate a theological doctrine about the mystery that is living Micheline, the “pain of passion of Jesus during the eucharistic sacrifice.” About this, for more information readers can refer oneself to two books called The Welcoming Heart of Jesus Gift of the Father Almighty, messages received by Micheline Boisvert and also to the number 379 of the monthly religious information Stella Maris (cf. the article of Christian Parmentier.) For our part, we limit ourselves to a double title testimony: as Christian and as priest. 1. As Christian Create the image and the resemblance of God (Gn 1,27), it is a human debt and a requirement of the law for each of us to confront ourselves to this original which is God’s life. To consult God, to look for God, to look for His Word, to taste God’ sweetness, to live in Him, by Him, and for Him, predispose every human being in general and every Christian in particular to have to advantage of the unexpected and of the extraordinary of God which is the miracle or the wonder. A stormy and sad childhood, saved when she was nearly dead due to multiple sclerosis, Micheline sees her little faith seed burst out to a testament and a pact with God. Then, she cries from her being depths, “Lord, if you let my live, I will work for You and I will be able to take care of my son.” Since, she adjusts her will to the Lord’s one making her life a channel for God and for the humanity. Nothing is impossible to God. (Luc 1,37) The practicable of God is possible to whom firmly trust and totally abandon oneself to the will of God. Micheline is a beneficiary of this unexpected from God. 2. As a priest With Micheline our roads intersected in September 2001 in the Saint-Jean community in Banneux, this place of apparition of Notre Dame of the poor in Liege in Belgium, where I was invited to tell the mass for this occasion. Since, a page of exchange was open and other moments of prayers were multiplied, especially: In Micheline, I saw traces of a simple heart (Wisdom 1,1) who is looking for God (Dt 4,29), a humble and poor spirit (So 2,3), a broken soul and a spirit of humility (Daniel 3,39) desperate to win the Christ and to seize Him (Ph 3,8 and 12). Canadian and Quebecer, Micheline doesn’t have a fluent and easy speech and she doesn’t have a deep theological formation, but people can easily state a coherence and a theological deepness on the major themes and precious to our catholic Church through her teaching and her testimony, especially: About the Eucharist What is remarkable is that she neither reads nor evokes memory. The authorised mouths and the spirits used to demonstrations of the Holy Spirit and who lived an experience with her subscribe to a “divine impulse.” We understand this testimony from the sister Margot, “her spiritual mother:” At the Father’s university, with the Virgin Mary as educator, Micheline lived, and us with her, a spiritual and charismatic formation very intense. (cf. Stella Maris number 379, the testimony of the sister Margot p.3) Another outstanding fact: during the eucharistic sacrifice, Micheline lives the graces of Passion, an intense suffering which decrease when she receives the Holy Communion and ends with a rest in the Spirit and, if possible, a divine message from the Virgin. She lives a double charisma from the presence of Jesus and liberator tears imploring the Pardon and the Mercy of God for so much sinners and sins and tasting at the same time at the surrender of the divine Love and His Light. Conclusion In front of the size of the evil effecting over this world that is like the relentlessness for the advent of a humanity without God, the prophet Osëe remind us: It is time to look for God (Os 10,12) and the prophet Amos even made it a survival condition: Look for God and you will live (Amos 5,4). Looking for Him with all her heart (Dt 5,4), Micheline is one of those souls who is looking for God and is still looking for Him and it is, for me, the great miracle of her life and the rest comes in addition (Mt 6,38). God who is good for the soul who is looking for Him (Lamentations 3,25) let find oneself (Jeremy 29,14) and “the humbles, the God seekers rejoice” (Psalm 69, 33). Micheline, like many others who rejoice God’s presence, needs our prayers to consolidate this wonder of God. Father Augustin Tombe 3 TESTIMONIES The Welcoming Heart of Jesus Gift of the Father Almighty Multiple Graces of Liberation, of Healing, and of Deliverance In a magazine, I read that a canadian mystic, linked to the Eucharist, was coming to France to testify of what she was living with the Lord. I phoned to know a bit more about this coming to Mrs. Guitard, promoter of the tour, who told me that Micheline Boisvert was coming two days after and that she was worrying because she didn’t have any place to stay in Paris or the parisian area to welcome Micheline. So, I proposed to welcome them in my house. I admit that all this completely surpassed me. I hadn’t projected this eventuality. So, I talked about it to several persons who would like to meet Micheline Boisvert. We don’t know anything about her, except the fact that she lived the Eucharist in a full union with Jesus. We had read the first book of messages she received from Jesus and Mary. These messages seemed quite credible and worthy of faith. We met together at my house; Micheline couldn’t go to the church to attend the mass because what she lives is quite “visible”. And this can only be with the agreement of the priests. So, we asked one of our friends’ priest, the father Chadaigne, if he wanted to celebrate the mass at home. He agreed, knowing the reason of this request. Consequently, we have a first mass with this priest and the presence of some friends. We lived great fervour moment and meditation, very touched by what Micheline was living during the mass. We were distressed and this certainly showed us the effective presence of Jesus. During the whole mass, Micheline asked “pardon and mercy,” and we clearly saw that she was terribly suffering. She was crying and moaning, her face was deformed by the pain she was feeling. After the consecration, the celebrating father gave her the Holy Communion and with the speed of light she felt on the floor, in ecstasy. Then, a great peace seemed to completely invade her. Her face was shining of light and peace. After few moments, the Virgin Mary spoke through her mouth and gave a message that we can find in the book 3, on March 10, 2001. This message was particularly intended to the father Chadaigne. Some information given in this message impressed me because I was the only one who really knew this priest and Micheline never met him before. The Virgin Mary was talking to someone she knew… The day after, Micheline talked to the father Laurentin who has accepted to meet her. We went to take him and he came home. He also celebrate a mass with Micheline and some other people. A second message was given by the Virgin Mary during this mass. The father Laurentin interviewed Micheline during a long moment, aside, and the interview went very well as both said. The father Laurentin told us that he was in the presence of a real mystic and that we weren’t mistaking by welcoming her. He told us about his impossibility to testify himself about all this because he has to be obedient to his superiors who asked him to not interfere in any other business of apparitions or revelations… He came in a personal title. But this was a support for the help we had to bring to Micheline in the spreading of messages and her mission to testify about the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. We prayed together the rosary of the Welcoming Heart of Jesus and we spent moments of great fraternity, great tenderness, where the Love of God really united us. But, to every sensible spirit, one will understand that if it comes from God, and I believe it, the evil is near… And so we lived moments of great battles, even going to a kind of persecution. People who heard about the visit of Micheline quickly came to look for testimony, in Canada, to know what people were saying there about Micheline and, obviously, hostile people to Micheline. This was a the point where I had to, for the well-being of each other, to walk back. Micheline was on tour in France and in Swiss, and she was supposed to come back before returning to Canada. So, I told that I didn’t want her to come back. I didn’t have any other alternatives, I was attacked on all sides and I admit that I didn’t know what to do, what to think, what to say… Nevertheless, I can testify that Micheline’s meeting at my house was source of terrible battles, yes, but also of liberation and of deliverance. Micheline received a charisma that permits her to feel the souls suffering. And during an evening at home, we lived a surprising moment. My son and his wife were in separation, in great conflicts, with a incredible violence. He wanted to kill her because she deceived him. He came at home where he gave his wife a rendez-vous, in a state of madness. He was unrecognizable. The devil was in him. He was screaming, had seized his wife by the neck and he wanted to strangle her. Micheline and some friends present prayed and he finally calmed down. Micheline felt on the floor, as if the devil was came in the house to kill her. I know that she carried the suffering of these two young people. Following this, things were progressively getting better. My son accepted to be healed, he accepted to come in pilgrimage and he followed an agapetherapy during which he discover the strength of pardon and the Love of God. After now more then two years, the couple is still together and a little boy is born. This is still not perfect, but the Lord and the Virgin Mary keep an eye on them… In relations where my liberty was undermined, the Lord came to put order. Relations that were friendly were full of domination, and without my knowledge, I was under influence and my liberty was undermined. The Lord liberated me and He purified my relations. This was at the price of a great suffering and this permitted me to see that I needed healing. I did two agapetherapy and I saw how much I carried the burdens that didn’t belong to me, of culpability that were poisoning my life since a long time, a very long time. The Lord liberated me and purified me. During two years, I had the feeling of being in a desert in everything, even morale, psychological, material or spiritual things. I felt very isolated, without any engagement. But I understood that the Lord was taking care of me, He talked to my heart giving me the desire to heal from all my diseases. All these experiences of healing are inherent in the meeting of Micheline in my home. There was great breaches due to this coming, but I can say today that it was necessary. After two years, I see Micheline again as a friend, as a correspondent of the Heart of Jesus and my house is opened to her. She is a simple woman, sweet, and peaceful. She is entirely given to her mission that often surpasses her. She works to give faith again in the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist and to remind men how God loves them. I bless God for having chosen my house to welcome His Heart and the celebration of His Eucharist. Be blessed and praised ever after, Lord! Bernadette D. 4 TESTIMONIES The Welcoming Heart of Jesus Cured from a tumour at the age of nine Christofer, 9 years old, from Cenay in Alsace, is suffering from a tumour located in the spinal cord and spinal column. The diagnosis was made during the month of May 2003 with Scanner and IRM, the surgeons found, after the research investigations, that this tumour was cancerous. This tumour was long shaped of 5 cm with a three roots anchorage. Monday, the 16 of June, I sent them a letter with two images of the Welcoming Heart of Jesus inside. This letter arrived the day before the operation, actually June 18. This June 18, Christofer entered the Strasbourg Hospital. During the night of the June 18 and until tomorrow, the operation day, while the child was sleeping, the mother put the image of the Welcoming Heart of Jesus on his back, where was the tumour, and then, the mother took the other image and started to pray all night and until the end of the surgical operation. The operation lasted 4 hours, everything went very well. The surgeons were stupefied to see that the tumour was 3 cm long and only one root was leaving. A sample was sent to the Strasbourg laboratory to determine the nature of the tumour. The results showed that it was a benign tumour. Surgeons, stupefied to see these incredible facts because they never saw that before, because for them this is still a mystery. The surgeons kept a sample of the tumour as a poof, and to study it. The kid came back home 4 days after, in very good shape and in a very good health. A controlled consultation is planned in 6 months. I also state that during 1 month, a prayer group worked for Christofer and for his healing. - Christofer Ecklinger - Accolella Michel 5 TESTIMONIES The Welcoming Heart of Jesus The fever disappear with the application of the image of the Welcoming Heart Last year, while our 17 years old daughter was suffering from a strong fever, we put the image of the Welcoming Heart on her and her fever felt.
