Her parents, Charles and Marie Boya Jahenny, were pious, hard- working peasants; little did they know that their first child would be chosen by Heaven for a special mission: to spread the love of the Cross, to make sacrifices and suffer for the salvation of sinners, to prepare the world for the prophesied chastisements, and to announce once again the coming of the Great Monarch and the Angelic Pontiff who would restore the glory of Christendom in an unprecedented and miraculous manner. Apparently, the first signal grace she received was at a very young age when she heard an interior voice while at church: “Stay a little longer with Me.” From that time on, she was always drawn to the tabernacle where Our Lord resided in the Blessed Sacrament and would spend long hours in prayer with Our Lord, or she would withdraw to a quiet place just to be alone and meditate. However, to please her brother and sisters, she would play with them when they demanded it, and when she was old enough, she would help her mother with the housework. One can only imagine how joyous a day it was for her when she could receive Holy Communion for the first time: in those days, First Communion was not given to children. When she was older, desiring to grow in spiritual perfection, she eventually entered the Third Order of St. Francis. She was described as a model for the parish, always punctual for service, very modest, and is said to have approached the altar with the devotion of an angel when receiving Holy Communion. It was not until 1873 that she received the stigmata. On February 22nd, 1873, she grew seriously ill, the Blessed Mother appeared to her with the news that she would have much to suffer. Obviously, Marie-Julie had made a complete offering of herself to God and He had accepted her. On March 15th, Our Lady appeared again and asked if she would be willing to suffer the same agonies her Son had endured to save mankind, and Marie-Julie 7 affirmed that she was willing. Our Lady then replied that she would be given the Five Wounds, and the stigmata began on the 21st of March. Heaven was just beginning to send her the Wounds of Christ. The Crown of Thorns appeared on October 5th, the Wound in the left Shoulder where Christ carried the Cross was received on November the 25th, on December 6th the scourge wounds appeared on her back, and on January 12th, 1874, she received wrist-wounds representing where the Hands of Our Lord were bound. She also received on the same day as the wrist-wounds, a wound over her heart. On January the 14th, additional scourge-stigmata appeared on her ankles, legs and forearms, days later she received two scourge stripes on her side. Apparently, the local Church authority, Monseigneur Fournier, Bishop of Nantes, did not waste a moment in setting up an investigation to verify the authenticity of these miracles. Doctor Imbert-Gourbeyre, Professor at the Faculty of Medicine at Clermont-Ferrand was called to examine the appearance of the stigmata and to ascertain if this was the effect of hysteria, or was indeed of an inexplicable, divine origin. When he asked Marie-julie what she saw when she received the stigmata, she replied: “When I received the stigmata, Our Lord appeared to me with radiant wounds; it was as if a sun surrounded them. A luminous ray came out of each wound and struck my hands, feet and side; at the end of each ray there was a drop of red blood. The ray that left the side of Our Lord was twice as wide as the others and was shaped like a lance. The pain I felt was great, but it lasted barely one second.” On February 20th, Our Lady announced to Marie-Julie that she was to become the spiritual bride of Christ. A wound appeared around the ring finger of her right hand: a special mark showing that she had been chosen as the Spiritual Spouse of Christ. Drawing of Marie-Julie with the Stigmata in her hands, including the Espousal Ring. 8 Immediately, her spiritual director, Father David, wrote to Dr. Imbert-Gourbeyre to inform him what had happened: “Praise be to God! DEO GRATIAS! Yesterday (date?) we had the most consoling day possible. Everything that was announced in April has taken place... I had organized everything according to Monseigneur's (the Bishop's) orders: fourteen men as witnesses. Three from Nantes sent by the diocese... At 8:30 we saw that the wounds were dry; that the ring finger of the right hand was normal, pale as death and no trace of a ring. After 9 o'clock, bleeding of all the wounds. Towards 9:15 we noticed the finger swelling and reddening under the skin. Towards 9:45 blood flowed above and below the finger, and little by little we saw the ring taking shape. It is now well marked for all her life ... Monseigneur (the Bishop) is enthusiastic.” Finally, she receive one special stigmata, which apparently seems to be the first of its kind in the history of approved stigmatists. For well over a month, Marie-Julie foretold she would receive a special mark on her chest and then revealed the date a week before it happened. On December 7th, family and witnesses present were stunned to see a cross and flower appear on her chest with the words : O Crux Ave, (Hail to the Cross) accompanied by the most extraordinary perfumes emanating from her body. When the ecstasy was over, the sign remained for the witnesses to examine. The stigmata bled every Friday, then later, only on Good Fridays, but the pain of the wounds always increased, especially on Fridays. On some occasions, the wounds were miraculously transformed on dates that were announced beforehand. For instance, on one date years later, May 1883, the family could hear the singing of angels. On All Saints, 1884, Our Lord announced He would envelop her in a coat of bright light. At midnight on the feast of the Immaculate Conception, December 8th, Our Lord fulfilled His promise and her family saw a stream of light about the size of a pea emanate from the wounds in her hands, which lasted for ten minutes. It did not take long to arrive at a conclusion when the examinations began: Doctor Imbert- Gourbeyre wrote to the bishop, declaring that, “he possessed a young woman with a genuine stigmata. That there was no fraud at La Fraudais.” The Bishop Monseigneur Fournier also agreed, for he wrote to the doctor on June 6th, 1875: “The reports that I receive daily on Marie-Julie show me more and more the action of God on this soul. He grants he graces of an obvious supernatural order. At the same time she grows in virtue and noble sentiments. The natural and human disappear in her, and she often speaks to people she sees or who are referred to her giving instructions which are not in keeping with her normal state. Therefore be confident, dear Doctor, the time will come when Marie-Julie herself will be the proof... She is sincere: what she manifests is supernatural. I see nothing but good, edifying and in conformity with the principles of spirituality. Therefore it is God who favours her; you may be sure it will turn out well.” The doctor continued his observations for years afterwards, and Bishop Monseigneur Fournier would remain one of her staunch supporters up to the time of his death. Her wounds followed all requirements for the appearance of stigmata to be declared authentic: 9 • The stigmata appear where Our Lord received the Five Wounds. (While scientists, historians, and archaeologists declare the Romans crucified criminals through the wrists, mystics like St. Catherine Emmerich have seen Our Lord crucified through the palms, His arms were tied to the Cross thus supporting His weight.) Those who are hypnotised to produce a stigmata never exude blood where the wounds of Christ are traditionally held to have been inflicted. • The wounds and sufferings of the Passion occur on times and dates significant with the Crucifixion of Christ. • The stigmata never heal despite all medical treatments, and may last for years at a time. However, they never fester or become infected, the blood that flows remains pure. If the stigmatist receives a natural injury, that retains all the characteristics of a natural wound and can become infected. • The stigmata produces copious bleeding: the first days of bleeding appears natural, but the continual flow days afterwards remains inexplicable. The copious nature of the blood flow that does not harm the health of the stigmatist is also inexplicable.
