Visitation – Saint Francis

~ A Message Given to Sister Jahnavi

from St. Francis ~

Hello dear family, may the Lord’s consolation be with you all. I too had wonderful consolations when trials and tests overwhelmed me. I received a visitation from St. Francis. When things were going tough, [there were] difficult moments for me when I was really fighting fears in my life and struggling to obey the Lord. Lord began to speak to me and console in His love and encouraged me to move forward. At the same time, I heard another voice. It was revealed to me it was St. Francis.

My heart was full of joy.

When I greeted him, addressing as a father, he began to speak,

“My dear one, you call me father, so listen to your father. Always obey the Lord. Don’t sit in your misery. I was a miserable one too…I too had doubts I renounced. Still there was flesh that the Lord dealt with. My dear one, be little. In littleness you will find the Lord. Once you know Him, you will want to be nothing. When I discovered the Lord, His love, His nature, I left everything for Him. Why? Because the world cannot inhabit me, when I want Him. They can’t exist together.

“I renounced the world and my father and my business, my status, and came to a status of beggar. He is not asking you to beg alms. No, He is asking you to surrender. Surrender to Him, Dear. Surrender to Him all. He will take care. Just submit and trust the Lord. He is doing a new thing in you. All your wounds will be cleansed. A heart full of love will be given. Just wait, don’t be impatient and trust the Lord.

“He is going to turn away into a holy vessel and adore Him. Praise Him, even if it’s difficult. Just trust, submit to Him.”

That was the end of St. Francis’ message. Blessed is the Lord for He is the one who truly cares. I have been still struggling to believe Lord’s promises, but Lord is faithful. He has consoled me and lifted me up from time to time. Be encouraged, all. When we are weak, He is strong. God bless you all. Amen.
