Micheline Boisvert
Gift of the Almighty Father

Micheline Boisvert started to make known the Welcoming Heart of Jesus during two trips in France.
We have discovered a determined person, totally given to whom the Lord has gifted with wisdom, knowledge and discernment to accomplish her mission: to give testimony to the light of which she has been favoured with to make known the Welcoming Heart of Jesus. She stands out for her love of the truth, her great compassion towards the poor and suffering people. The Lord has also given her the grace to participate in his Passion by interceding and repairing especially during the eucharistic celebration where she testifies through her person of the real presence of Jesus, who died and resurrected.

We have already received testimonies of healing. Here is the progress of a soul in distress seized by the love of God. The first book of messages (year 1999) received by Micheline Boisvert, will be out in April, a second book in the autumn of 2002.

 

 

God has called me from my mother’s womb

 

Micheline was born in a very poor family of the Quebec, with poor relationship. She felt an immense solitude and kept on believing that she was not loved, but in her child’s heart, she held on to the names of Jesus and Mary, for her parents had had her baptised. She went to catechism classes at school and was confirmed.

The second of four children, Micheline at the age of 13, started to go out charring to help her mother and her brothers. A few years later she had to leave the family home to find work to earn a living. She worked in factories at first, then in bar-restaurants. Micheline had great difficulty to adapt to the world’s values, unconsciously she looked for parental love in drugs and alcohol which led her to a growing self-destruction and a life full of sadness and sorrows. To day, she understands how these weaknesses were easy prey for evil, that life became unbearable, unliveable; during nights of anguish, of fear and guilt, Micheline often cried out to the Lord: “My God, come and take me away!” After many more years of suffering, the Lord took her at her words, but not in the way she hoped for!
One day – at the age of 18 – Micheline realized that she was expecting a baby. – Gripped by and immense feeling of anguish, she believed that in such a situation she had nothing to offer a child. She had not yet been able to appreciate the beauty and the joy of living… because of feelings of nothingness (wounds caused by an unwanted birth), when for the first time she felt her child move in her womb. It was a revelation, a visitation. She then felt lots of love for this child and she received at the same time, in her body, in her flesh, the revelation of what “life” is truly about tuned into the reality of the true sense of life, all the bad things that she had been told about children were swept away. To day, she understands how the Lord ha come to her help by giving her a taste and a right reason for living.

 

 

Out of the depths I cried to you o Lord!

 

Living in suffering ever since, Micheline feels compassion for those who suffer. Therefore she helps as she can the sick, the prisoners whom she visits… When in 1990, she is hospitalised urgently and given morphine she realized then that all the protective walls she had built around her in order to survive had just collapsed: she felt herself confronted with the compulsive life she had led. She wanted to be loved and in order to keep her son alive. She knew that it was her dissolute conduct that had presently brought her there. Micheline, at the point of death, understood that she had to turn to God. There offered in her body an acute attack of multiple sclerosis. She then cried out to God in whom she had always believed in her heart. The Lord started to draw her more strongly to Him, to prepare her to the great mission of the Welcoming Heart.

Her sixteen year old son who also dragged big problems of drugs and alcohol came to visit her in hospital. He found her unrecognisable, for she had lost so much weight. What a shock! How is he going to accept what Micheline is going through considering that he doesn’t know his father!

Micheline, on her hospital bed, understood the interior suffering of her son, overwhelmed by the state she was in. Her physical pains were so intense, that she had the impression that all her nervous system was being torn apart. Simultaneously she felt that she was going to die and how much her son was in need of her. Then from the depths of her being, she cried : “Lord, if you spare my life, I’ll word for you and I’ll be able to take care of my son.” She decided to go back home. She signed herself out, for she expected nothing more from the hospital.
Micheline, of course hadn’t any idea how the Lord would use her to work for Him. She did not give it a through. But He had heard the cry of his child in distress. He saw the love in her heart.

 

 

Born again and openness to the church

 

Prepare Micheline to the great mission, the Lord is going to teach her himself by visiting her with Mary in his great light and by uniting her to his Almighty Eucharistic power to prepare her next to his great mission. He will guide her into his Church and to his shepherds. Micheline retired to her small apartment and lived as a recluse. She was in communion with nature, she contemplated God and breathed in God who patiently brought her back to health. She read the bible and discovered the light in the gospel of St John. The Lord favoured her with his divine light, but she kept it to herself.

Micheline had lived her life outside the Church up to now, but the good Shepherd went out in search of the lost sheep to carry it back on his shoulders thanks to a neighbour who invited her to her prayer group. “My openness to the Church came to me through a young lady who visited me and felt good in my company. She belonged to a prayer group which met to pray together two blocks away from me. In February 1997, the Lord called me through her to play with my brothers and sisters.”

“During this first meeting with the prayer group, we pray for a girl who had leukaemia and had asked us for prayers. The Lord then seized me very strongly in his light. I felt all the diseased cells of this young lady in my body with much pain and a great intensity of love. Nowadays, this person is in good health. After these happenings it was proposed to me to see a priest and I agreed to it. It was my first private meeting with father Marcel. I spoke to him about the light that I saw and he said to me: “If this light is not of the Lord, do you accept that it leaves?” I agreed. He prayed for that light to leave me if it were not from God. Next, during a thorough confession which set me free, I felt the power of forgiveness.

I participated in the mass where the Lord seized me and united me to his Almighty Power of the Eucharist. Ha gave me a heart afire with his Love. I thought that I was dying. I lost all my physical strength when the Lord took me into his light.

I had never read or heard anything about mystical phenomena and I was not familiar with the charismatic circle. I did not even know this word. Before meeting the people of the house of the “Teaching-Jesus” who were able to discern what I was living. I ignored that there were people who received messages from heaven. I was ignorant of Medjugorje. All I lived was part of my daily life and it was normal to me.”

Next, this same small prayer group offered to accompany Micheline to the house of the “Teaching-Jesus” where the members were to meet the spiritual director. Micheline accepted and she met the superior of the house who invited her to take part in a session from the 4th to the of April 1997. Sister Margot was the leader of that session. It was in this way that the Lord put Micheline in contact with sister Margot who later became her spiritual mother.

Micheline was conscious during that session of the great grace with which the Lord had endowed her. She had lived in his peace and in his love for years all alone in her small apartment, all these favours seemed normal to her. Sister Margot, during the Eucharist, enlightened about the Almighty Power of grace of the eucharistic Love which the Lord was making Micheline Live. The Lord from then on united sister Margot and Micheline in the Almighty Power of he Holy Spirit.

 

 

The discernment of the Church

 

Sister Margot realized from the start of their walk together that Micheline needed to be led on the path of interior healing because of the numerous wounds of her past life in order to allow the strength of love to pass freely in all her being. Micheline accompanied by this nun and two priest from April 1997, lived an interior healing of her wounds from origins, at the same time she progressively adapted to the Almighty Power of the Father through the Welcoming Heart of Jesus who operated in her: Micheline accepted to live this experience of the light in her human body in fact (with the concrete struggles she had to put up with).

She accepted the powerful “seizures” in the weakness of her “flesh” spending hours seized in the power of the light of the Holy Spirit… She was aware of the reality of the mission being revealed to her. She accepted to walk humbly in faith in the Father’s Almighty Power of grace of the Welcoming Heart of Jesus: By Him (by the Welcoming Heart of Jesus), and in Him, (in the Welcoming Heart of Jesus), to you Almighty Father, all honour and glory”. Micheline, progressively adjusted her will to the will of God, for humanity’s sake. A neighbour accompanied Micheline to mass during that period and helped her bear the weaknesses of her human nature during these seizures.

On the 6th of October back home after mass, seized by the Eucharist, Micheline received, in prayer, a prophecy concerning the purification of Quebec, which was announced three months later on the 6th of January 1998. A person next to her jotted it down on a piece of paper, going through an old missal she discovered that the feast of the Epiphany is celebrated on the 6th of January. The next day on the phone Micheline asked what the word “Epiphany” meant. Micheline will be aware of the gift she has received and of its importance after the snow storm that turned into black ice on the 6th of January 1998. Micheline becomes aware of the importance of this gift. From then on she passes on the messages she receives to the people who guide her.

On the 27th of February 1998, the Virgin Mary asked Micheline to let all that she wished to teach her pass through her: “Let my mercy pass… Accept my child to let it go through your heart as He wishes it” and the 23th of April she asked her to organize a cenacle of prayer, which began on the 13th of July 1998 and from that moment, the messages were regularly noted and passed on to the members.

Mass is sometimes celebrated at Micheline’s place, as she has difficulty in being accepted in churches… In October 1998,during a prayer evening with the fathers Marcel and Gratien, sister Margot received a discernment about Micheline: that she must go and live at the community of the Brothers of the Sacred Heart, at the house of the “Teaching –Jesus”, for discernment on all that she is living: “Do not trust any spirit, but test then to see if they are of God…”

 

The mission of the Welcoming Heart

 

The Virgin Mary starts then to teach the little community nearly daily forming its members by inviting them to welcome the Almighty Power of Love so that the plan of the Father be realised: “This plan of (the Father) is destined for humanity through out eternity, and He has chosen you for this plan! Leave the Father free to act with the Welcoming Heart of his Son when He wants it, where He wants it and in the manner He wants it”. It is a time of conversion – adaptation which jostle – and disrupt the habits and ways of the small team; “to accelerate the entrance of the Welcoming Heart of Jesus in this community and the ones who accompany the group, you need to give them the teaching that I have brought to you. This will be a great help to them…”

Micheline stayed four months (until the end of March 1999) at the house of the “Teaching-Jesus”, in reclusion in a room, for she had been asked not to mix with anyone because of the phenomena seizures that lasted three, four and sometimes five hours. St John of the Cross and Sainte Thérèse of Avila say: “I need to remain unattached to the gifts of God.”

"The Holy mass was celebrated daily, in a small living room next to my bedroom, with only a small accompanying group. During mass the Lord gave me the grace to live his great mystery of love. Sometimes I was allowed to go to the small chapel, alone, in front of Jesus the Eucharist.

During these loving moments, the Lord made me live and bear the sufferings of my brothers and sisters who lived these with lots of tears and a great intensity of love." It was during this privileged moments of togetherness that the Virgin Mary, after having united Micheline to the discerning trio made known to them the great mission of the Welcoming Heart of Jesus. "Mary has begged our Heavenly Father to grant us this gift for these last days of darkness."

During that same time, after a eucharistic seizure, Micheline receives, in the light of the Holy Spirit, the image of the Welcoming Heart of Jesus and the mission to make it known to the whole world. She announces it to father Marcel and sister Margot. An artist is then brought in to reproduce this picture to which is attached graces of liberation, deliverance, healing and miracles. These images are circulating since July 1999 and many people have testified of graces received.
The discerning “trid” help Micheline to understand and to adjust to the great mission of offering to the church and mankind of these days the Welcoming Heart of Jesus, gift of God the Almighty Father. (to follow)

A brief biography of Micheline Boisvert

 

I am born in 1952 in a modest family. My parents were poor; from a very young age, I started working to help my mother. I have always believed in God in my heart, in spite of the great difficulties that I have been through since my childhood, I have always searched for God. I lived a great interior void for not receiving the sacraments, but the Lord knew my heart and the trust that I always had towards Him. During that period of my life, I have never ceased to ask Him for his help in spite of my great ignorance.
My life was turned upside down at the beginning of 1990. I, who gad never been ill before, I was suddenly struck by a sharp attack of multiple sclerosis. My body was broken, my legs moved no more, my intestines did not work any more, my lungs and my sight were weakened. There was very little life left in my body. All these were accompanied by very intense pain. I felt interiorly that I did not have long to live.

My son was sixteen at the time. When he visited me at the hospital, looking at me from the foot of my bed, he had great difficulty to accept what I was going through I had lost much weight and I felt my nervous system deteriorating in all my body. I lived a true martyrdom. The doctors told me that I would never be cured and that I would be unable to work for the rest of my life.

On my hospital bed, I asked God to let me live, for my son was not ready to go through this trial. I then told Him that I wished to live solely for Him and for my son for the rest of my life. I realized then that the Lord was making me offer Him all my life, but I had no idea how He was going to act. The Lord visited me in this great poverty. This happened 10 years ago already.

To day, my body and legs function well. During these 10 years of purification, he has granted me the grace of setting my heart afire with His Love, and he has united me to His Almighty Eucharistic Power and to the great mission of his Welcoming Heart.

These few lines are a brief summary of a period of my life that opened up to Love of God. A day will come when the Lord will make me open all the pages of my life to help my brothers and sisters, so that they come to know the greatness of his mercy and of his love for each one of us. I ask the Holy Spirit to open your heart to the Almighty Compassion of Jesus for all who will read these few lines.

You who live great difficulties, you who are crying for help, I wish to tell you: “Trust and hope with all your heart for the Lord will grant you his graces.” I, who the Heavenly Father calls “the little innocent girl of God”, I tell you I pray for you with all my heart, for I know the sufferings caused through your wounds.

The Lord has allowed me to feel the state of mind of my brothers and sisters – how hard are these sufferings for you. I desire to unite my prayer to all those who suffer, and this is why I place you in the Welcoming Heart of Jesus, that he welcomes all with you. Never cease hoping in His love, and united to those of Jesus and Mary and to all the saints in heaven, together we pray for you.

Micheline Boisvert.
 

My experience of the light

“My experience of the light started sometime after I left the hospital. In my heart I prayed for all people who suffer from multiple sclerosis, whilst being seized by this light, her heart was but prayer, and seated in my bedroom, hand joined up in a prayer position, I became as a statue, remaining in that position for a very long time. This way of life had become normal to me. I was always filled with lots of love and a great peace…

I can still see this light in a great beam. It comes down on me going through the immense darkness of the universe and of the world to reach me : at the moment I am caught up in this light, I fell a great warmth in my flesh, it is so intense that my heart and my body burn with love… so much that all my body sweats.

This light is much, much love. It is peace, it is Jesus and Mary. It is the sweetness of Mary. It is the burning Love of Jesus. It is the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit. It is the Father’s light. This light is inexistent on earth. This light that consumes all my being desires also to consume all humanity.

I see it with opened eyes as well as closed eyes. To see this light is as normal as breathing for me, when the Lord gives me the grace…

I see Mary sometimes in this great light; words are brought to me and my soul rises in this light. At certain times I an aware of what I am living in this light and of what goes on around me. My body is paralysed and when my soul in this great light returns to me it produces a great pain and lots of tears. It is given to me through grace to live the journey back from heaven to earth which is darkness, else I’d die, for my body could not bear this return journey.”

At times, the light comes out for a picture of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. Micheline sees angels too the Lord recreates and restores life abundantly in all Micheline’s being through this light.

Testimony of sister Margot

Micheline Boisvert, witness to the light

 

Here is the testimony of sister Margot, spiritual mother of Micheline who discerned with the help of two priests, and who helped bring to birth the gifts God had placed in her for the edification of the church of to-day.

“I detected clearly from the beginning that Micheline has living a similar experience to that which Paul the apostle lived on the road to Damascus, with the impact of the light (Act 9). The Spirit allowed me to understand that she was strongly “seized” by God, who desired to send her to her brothers and sisters to manifest his Love. During her stay at the house of the “Teaching-Jesus”, she learned to accept to be taught by the events, the movements of the Holy Spirit as well as by the people that God had placed on her way. It was for Micheline, the beginning of the way to healing, of a discernment that was more and more severe.

She communicated little by little what she was living the Lord gave her the knowledge of her experience outside the normal way of spiritual growth. Micheline had no words to express what she was living, nor the necessary knowledge to know what had been given her to live. The Lord had asked me to accompany her in what He wished to do in her, in her humanity and for his mission…”

“The word was the true Light who, coming into the world, enlightened all men. (Jn 19) Micheline is only the witness of the Light, her mission is to give testimony to the Light… whilst leaving her free to act! what characterizes her experience the most: is the light. In this light, she sees all things in God; she is taught by the Spirit of Light; darkness is chased away. She is “drawn” out of darkness by this light; she “sees” darkness in others; the Almighty Powers of the Kingdom are revealed and shown to her; she testifies in the strength of God Almighty.
The Almighty Father has “drawn” her out of darkness, has “seized” her in the light, through the Welcoming Heart of Jesus. She is made to live the struggle of the light that chases darkness away. He alone knows what Micheline has to suffer against the forces of evil: the knocks, the humiliations…

Numerous and powerful signs are given to her to personally adapt herself to the acting, Almighty Power of God to help her accept to live this mission for the whole of humanity. Numerous signs are manifested through her for others. The Almighty Powers of the Father are possible, for it is Jesus’Heart who welcomes them (conversion, liberation, deliverance, healing, miracle…)

The manifestation of the real presence of Jesus through her during the Eucharist is very special, especially at the moment of communion when she is literally and visibly “caught”. She lives the charisma of the presence of Jesus among us, who welcomes for us the grace of God our Father, filled with love and mercy. Jesus unites her to Him in a very strong way. There is also this special charisma that I call “the saving tears”. That expresses the union with Jesus in his Passion for humanity. They make his supplication on the cross real: “Father, forgive them for they do not know what they do!”

Micheline, in this union with the suffering Jesus, lives an ardent supplication for her brothers and sisters, “Pardon and Mercy”… It is the struggle of the light in depth. What she lives and suffers is not “human”. At the “university of the Father”, with Mary as teacher, Micheline has lived, and we too with her, a spiritual charismatic formation of great intensity.

The walk lived with Micheline is a great experience of discernment in the church, done in prayer, in adoration and fasting too with two priests. It is a very intense experience to be led by the Spirit in faith and in trust. It is a disturbing and demanding experience to let go of our knowledge and reasoning. I say “our” for it has been lived together by two priests and myself. Our responsibility were to discern the action of the Holy Spirit in her and through her, to allow the light to chase away the darkness. To discern is to remove the circle of that which is “darkness” to let the light of the Holy Spirit who leads her gush forth.

Extracts of messages received from the Virgin Mary, explaining the tears and groans of Micheline Boisvert
 

What is hard for you to understand, my children, are her tears which bring freedom and healing to you. This is what you find difficult to understand even when you are incapable to see it for what it is. Those tears bring a great strength of light that chases away darkness in each one of you. I beg you my children, do not resist these graces in your heart that are for you and for your families.

Thank the Lord with all your heart for having heard this child cry. Many graces are brought to you. This child is united with the sufferings of my Son Jesus Christ on the Cross. You need not be afraid, for she is truly united to the Almighty Eucharistic Power of my Son. Live in peace.

My children will convert, understand that through the tears of this little innocent of God, the Father has come to save his children. Understand that each tear that runs down her face purifies this earth. The Father hears each prayer prayed near this chid and He brings to pass through the heart of this child all your petitions. What she lives is very intense. Prepare your hearts my children, for all that she’ll have to live and endure in the name of the Welcoming Heart of my Son.

I, your Heavenly Mother, I tell you: “Not one of the tears of this child will be lost. She suffers united to my Son Jesus, like Him who has suffered on earth for all sins. Her tears are united to the Precious Blood of my Son. They purify and sanctify hearts, bodies and souls and free many souls from purgatory. Understand she lives all in great obedience, for she cannot anticipate how she is going to live it; she submits to all that the divine Will wishes to accomplish through the Welcoming Heart of my Son.”

This child also bears in her heart all the crosses for this humanity. All her tears are graces of purification, freedom, healing and peace for all who will welcome them. Soon she will be united in her body to the sufferings of my beloved Son Jesus Christ. Understand this my children.

Yes, I your Heavenly Mother, I beg you to help her, for through the heart of this child, the Welcoming Heart of my Son lives graces are being poured out through all her tears to those who pray to the Father, this is a promise my children. Blessed are those who welcome this child in their home, for they will see the Almighty Power of the Father act in their heart, soul and body.

Do not fear, this child is truly united to the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Her heart burns with love to go and meet her brothers and sisters. She is presently handed over to the people. Each of her tears carry many graces. Understand this my children: It is the Father who has chosen her through out eternity.

I, your Heavenly Mother, I tell you: “The Heavenly Father wishes to grant you through the Welcoming Heart of his Son, the almighty power of healing and his almighty power of miracle, as never before on this earth. Very specially, this evening, know that graces of healing have been granted through the supplications and the tears of this child. Understand this, my children, you will also see great conversions and many vocations. We know that Jesus, attaches such great importance to the welcome that He gives it his identity. “Anyone who welcomes you welcomes Me; and those who welcome Me welcome the one who sent Me.” (Mt 10,40). The Father comes to us through the Heart of Christ, who offered himself on the Cross, and He draws us to this place “in his Body lives the fullness of divinity” (Col 2,9). The Heart of Jesus is the King and the centre of all hearts.

Many people who have received the Welcoming Heart tell us of their joy of praying in a new way with the word “welcome”. This make them look away from themselves and centre on Christ.

“ Come into me Father with the Welcoming Heart of your beloved Son, I accept to give you all the room.”

Let us give our love reply to the one who has said: “A man can have no greater love than to lay down his life for his friends.” (Jn 15,13).

The Image of the Welcoming Heart

“No one has ever seen God.”

It is the only Son who is nearest to the Father’s Heart who has made Him known to us.” (John 1,18)
Can one represent God who no one has ever seen? In the scene of the creation of Adam, Michael Angelo has not hesitated to give a “Body” to the Creator, who is Pure Spirit. God, in a moment of great intensity, stretching the forefinger of his hand to the first man, made of clay in the act of communicating a spark of life to him…

The eternal in the book of Daniel, appeared to the prophet as one of great age with white air: “ As I watched: thrones were set in place and one of great age took his seat. His robe was white as snow, the hair of his head as pure as wool. His throne was a blaze of flames, its wheels were a burning fire. A stream of fire poured out, issuing from his presence. A thousand thousand waited on him, ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him. (Daniel 7,9)

During one of these great seizures, Micheline Boisvert received an interior image where the Father was shown to her offering the Heart of her beloved Son. It is on the precise indication of the seer that the artist-painter, and portraitist, Richard Goudreau, has been able to realize this representation that is known to-day under the title of the “Welcoming Heart of Jesus, gift of God the Almighty Father.”

We humbly attribute the value of icon to this image for those who know how to read with the eyes of the heart, he’ll discover an important message: “Hidden from the learned and the clever revealed to the little ones of the Kingdom.” (Mt 11-25) This image is made up of three principal elements: the Father, the Heart and the Globe.
The Father is slightly bent forward, he seems suspended from the sky by his almighty power of light. The Father with outstretched hands let fall a huge bright red heart into the earth, which is shrouded in thick darkness from the middle of his palms, powerful rays of light burst forth, which bring to mind the words of the prophet Habacuq: “His brightness is like the day; rays flash from his hands, that is where his power lies.” (Hab 3,4)
 

The Heart
 

A dazzling golden crown of thorns encircle the huge heart, and the thorns from which flash intense rays of light that flood the lifeless earth. No doubt that these signs tell us of the excessive love of our Saviour and the inexpressible suffering inflicted to his adorable Head during his Passion, and here now, we participate in the victory of the High Priest who has entered into the holy of holies to receive his reward from the Father: “You have crowned Christ with glory and splendour”. (He 2,7-9; Ps 8,5-7) The Crown of thorns is presented in the messages as a protection for the peoples and countries that are on the verge of being tested by the great purification, that was announced by the prophets of our time.

The earth

It cannot be light by itself for it is subjected to “vanity”, according to St Paul (Rm 8,20). It is then with great joy that we welcome the great manifestations of the Heart of Christ, King of the universe: “He has taken us out of the power of darkness and created a place for us in the Kingdom of the Son that He loves, and in Him we gain our freedom; the forgiveness of our sins”. (Col 1, 13-14)
What the Welcoming Heart of Jesus consist of during these times of great tribulation, the all-loving Father bring down on this humanity the Heart of his beloved Son who comes to welcome in us and for us the almighty power of the grace of light which He now reserves for his earthly children. Many among these children have strayed and do not have the desire to receive, all the love of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit in their heart. The Welcoming Father is represented in the messages as a “Life Buoy” to go in search of all his children that the adversary has lamentably plunged into the abyss of suffering, anguish and despair to lose then for ever. What father would stay indifferent to such a fate! “God has so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not be lost but have eternal life” (John 3,16)
Jesus therefore comes with his own Heart. He only can welcome the pure love of the Father, that is particularly manifested in the almighty power of the Eucharist. Isn’t he the only Mediator? “Through Him, with Him, and in Him” (Eucharistic prayer).

The Welcoming Heart of Jesus welcomes the offering of ourselves and all that concern us. “Come to me, all you who labour and are overburdened, and I will give you rest. Shoulder my yoke and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls!” (Mt 11,28)
