(??) MARIE MARTEL (1872 -1913) / APPARITIONS OF TILLY (1896 – c. early 1900s)
Not officially condemned, despite a report coming out saying not officialyl recognised either. BUT, I have reason to return this page to the credible apparitions with two question marks (??) to signify "apparently credible but read with discernment'.
Here is the info so far,
February 18, 2020: Status: Currently a report came out saying 'Not recognized' by the Church
Msgr. Jacque Habard, The Bishop of Bayeux and Liseux has issued a statement on the Tilly apparitions, dated February 14, 2022.
(My English translation):
"
"Statement by Bishop Jacques Habert
Concerning the Chapel of the Very Holy Rosary in Tilly sur Seulles, Bishop Jacques Habert recalls that the apparitions of the Virgin Mary which would have taken place in Tilly sur Seulles from March 1896 were not recognized by the Catholic Church.
The person in charge of the animation of this place today is not a priest of the Catholic Church and therefore does not celebrate the sacraments. This reminder is necessary when the schedules of masses and offices and the invitation to offer masses are published so that they can be celebrated in this place. In Bayeux, February 14, 2022" (Official source in French, click here.) ::::::::::::::
Okay, so this recent message says it was not recognized by the Church, but this statement is not an official condemnation either, saying it is 'preternatural' or 'not supernatural '- So, have the apparitions have officially been CONDEMNED? This new statement from the local bishop is vague. This statement does not say they were officially condemned.
However, we do have to pay attention to the warning that the services currently celebrated there are not approved by the local ordinary, and the priest there is not acting under the authority of the Church.
So I do have to put that up as warning, services held at the chapel are currently not done so under the authority of the local bishop.
But then, I still haven't heard if the apparitions have been condemned either! So, I will still keep up the information on these apparitions, and just warn the faithful that there is a question and to read this with discernment.
Here is why the apparitions appear credible:
The past info I received on this apparition is as follows:
(April 7, 2020): I was informed by someone who visits the Tilly site that no, it is not approved, but neither is it condemned by the Church. Also, the listing in the 'Miracle Hunter's Website didn't help as they have it listed as 'traditionally approved' by the Church.
However, I was informed that St. Pius X personally believed in the site and hoped a favorable outcome would be reached by the local ordinary and those examining the case, and, I see texts claim that so did many prominent clerics and theologians in Rome, so many recognised that there was nothing to condemn about Tilly, but the case was continually stalled with no definite decision by the local ordinary in France, even to the apparent frustration of St. Pius X:
“Already for a long
time, the Holy Office had recognized that there was nothing wrong
with the apparitions of Tilly, and the Pontiff, who had himself read
with great emotion the journal of the religious of the school (I.e at
Tilly), had given the order to complete the information and make a
decision. Mgr. Amette [Cardinal of Paris] objected, rushed to Rome,
and argued for reasons of expediency, to postpone the proclamation
of a favorable decision. […] In the first months of last year
(1908), Pius X ordered again the case to be resumed. Mgr. Amette ran
again. […] The pope would then have let himself be persuaded, and
would have ordered to wait. (Pierre-Marie GRÜNNEISSEN, Présence
mariale à Tilly sur Seulles, ed. Les Amis de Tilly (1996), p.
104-105. )
So, commentators on the situation have observed that bishop Mgr. Amette continually postponed the decision, apparently because the turbulent politics of the time in Republican France made it a 'bad idea' to approve a vision that foretold wars and the restoration of the French Monarchy. Obviously the French government feared when such 'apparitions' began to emerge as a means of the Church to stir up dissension among the populace that might put their democratic government in jeopardy. Ever since the Revolution, France tiptoed on eggshells so to speak with all the various changes of government. Some have also recognised the stalled case is the result of a power-play between Rome and the clergy in France of the time. However, due to the constant postponement despite such favorable reactions from Rome for the apparition, the local ordinary had handled matters in such a way that they simply could not be recognised, he basically stymied the whole case from what I can tell from the sources I found.
"We know that the local Ordinary, who
neither examined nor judged the case of these apparitions, proceeded
in such wise that they could not be recognized. ... Nevertheless,
popular common sense, supported in 1905 by some French and Roman
clergy, never rejected these apparitions, and Tilly-sur-Seulles
continued to be a place of pilgrimage.” (Michel de la Sainte
Trinité, “The Third Secret”, Immaculate Heart Publications,
1990, pp. 19, 211, source, The Remnant.)
Formal approval or an investigation was therefore never opened or continued. However, permission for a chapel on the site was given, and pilgrims used to still visit, but now we see from the latest update Febraury 14, 2022 from the local ordinary pilgrims are warned services there are not under the sanction of the local authority.
Butit is NOT condemned either, the local authority has not said anything about an official condemnation of the apparitions as 'not supernatural', not to mention prophecies foretold there came true, so, this latest report regarding the services could be overturned later again by a different bishop.
Considering the prophecies are in union with so many other approved messages and mystics, especially Marie-Julie Jahenny, it does not look like a false apparition.
UPDATE (May 19, 2022) I HAVE JUST DISCOVERED after getting a new book on Marie-Julie Jahenny that Heaven made an important prophecy in regarding the seer of Tilly, Marie Martel, and the arrival of the Great Monarch: Heaven declared in a prophecy that she along with other seers and victims souls and saints will form a triumphal cortege from Heaven, will seek out the Great Monarch and bring him to the very walls of 'Chamber of Hell', i.e. the National Assembly of France' as the true leader of France. (Source; "Marie-Julie Jahenny Une Vie Mystique", by Henry Bourcier p. 97)
If this text of her prophecy is dated and transcribed correctly, 1883, she predicted Marie Martel's vision a good decade in advance before it happened.
This prophecy from Marie-Julie Jahenny, and the fact St. Pius X believed in Tilly certainly says something!
So, I am returning this page to the 'credible' page, but adding the two questions marks in recognition it is still is not formally approved even if not condemned. (??)

Marie Martel and the Apparitions of Tilly
Marie Martel was born in
Calvados in 1872. In 1899, Marie Martel made her first retreat at the
monastery of Mesnil Saint Denis, at the house of Norbertine nuns. In
1902, she became tertiary of St. Francis. She died in France on
October 24, 1913. She was always regarded as pure and pious, and
was graced to receive an apparition of the Blessed Virgin during her
First Communion. However, the truly remarkable events happened when
she was twenty four.
On March 18, 1896 three
nuns of the order of the Sacred Heart, as well as 60 students and
some adults saw what appeared to be the Blessed Virgin while out in a
field called Lepetite in the town of Tilly-Sur-Seulles just south
east of Bayeux in Normandy, France. Our Lady appeared in the recognizable pose of the Immaculate Conception and was in the air,
although the distance from the ground was uncertain. The witnesses
were in awe of the vision and we able to say the Rosary for long
periods on their knees without feeling any fatigue, even the younger
children between 6 and 7 years of age were able to remain in the same
position without feeling fatigued.
Marie Martel and Louise
Polinière heard about the apparitions and when she had finished
work, Marie too went to see the apparition for herself. She saw the
Holy Virgin near an elm tree. Marie Martel described the Virgin as
"of a heavenly beauty, dressed in white with a blue belt, golden
roses placed on her bare feet and at her feet, ad wore a white
banner, with the words - "I am the Immaculate".
The gazette of the time reports that as soon as the news become known, the unfortunate tree was turned into shreds. Everyone wanted a little bit of it, a bark, a leaf, a branch as a relic!

Between March and July 1896,
"The Echo of Tilly" newspaper, counted up to 26 appearances
in the field Lepetit overlooking the Seulles.
However, while there were
other seers at Tilly, the messages were given to Marie Martel, and
there were other messages beyond the year 1896.
::::::::::::::
THE MESSAGES- (starting 1896)
Marie Martel says:
"In the month of July 1896, feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel,
for the first time I heard the voice of the Blessed Virgin, who said
to me:
“Penance! My child, Penitence!”
The Blessed Virgin tells me:
“My child, do you want to be happy in this life or the other?”
Right away, I said, "O my good Mother, I want to go with you right now, if you want to."
The Blessed Virgin tells me:
“My child, you will have much to suffer here, if you are faithful to the mission that you have to fulfil, I promise you you will be happy in the other life.”
And the last word of the Blessed Virgin was this:
“My dear children, I beg you to pray well and to do penance. It is through prayer and penance that you will appease the vengeance of heaven. "

:::::::::::
In the month of August 1896,
a strange phenomenon was observed in the reflection of the eyes of the visionary during
the ecstasies, which was repeated many times afterwards - many
witnesses saw the image of the luminous Virgin, dressed in a
white robe tied at the waist with a celestial blue belt, and wrapped
in a light veil, rays escaping from her hands.
(Images: photo taken during an apparition at Tilly before the original wooden chapel was later built in 1897. Note the arrow - it is thought the camera actually caught an image of Our Lady!
Next image features the wooden chapel - again note the arrow.)
:::::::::::::::::::::::
On Thursday, January 14,
1897, Marie Martel begged that she be led to the Field. At first
she had a 10-minute ecstasy, during which she saw the Child Jesus in
a cloud beside the Virgin.
A few days later, the Vision explained to the seer that the martyrdom in question would consist of very great trials.
A second vision, which lasted 28 minutes, followed. During this, the Virgin still told her "Penance! And added, "Remember the trials ahead!”.

PROPHECIES OF JANUARY
1897
::::::::::::::
January 1897 – SCHISM
IN THE CHURCH , the DESTRUCTION OF PARIS, ENGLAND WILL SUFFER
Marie-Martel: “The first day, I heard the voice of the Blessed Virgin, who told me "Penance!" I asked her for the strength to suffer with love.”
The Blessed Virgin also tells me: “My children, pray, because great evils will strike you. The war will soon be declared on all sides against the Church. A schism is being made.”
The Blessed Virgin begs, her eyes turned to the sky, and then, turning to me, she says to me:
“Oh ! Paris, Paris did not respect the laws of my Divine Son ... It will be punished and destroyed by fire ... There will be few people who will remain ... Those who remain will not recognise themselves ... Paris will be destroyed by fire, if it refuses to convert ... this is the punishment that is reserved for it!”
The Blessed Virgin also says that the rich would become very poor. (i.e ECONOMIC COLLAPSE?)
England will be punished. I saw ships sinking, on which England was written."
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::
PROPHECY of the MT. PELÉE
ERUPTION
Wednesday, January 27, 1897,
despite the horrible weather, Marie Martel went to the Field, where
there were a hundred people. She was favoured with an ecstasy, which
lasted about 20 minutes.
Marie says:
"I heard the Blessed Virgin who said to me:
"My child, you must pray well, especially for Martinique, because it will be chastised, and it will be by a rain of fire from the sky, that will not be able to be extinguished. Many will perish; Those who stay, if they refuse to convert, a second stroke will be carried, and the plague will prevail."
The Blessed Virgin showed me the catastrophe, I saw the fire on the sea, which reached the ships.
The fire consumes these ships ... it was a shower of fire."

(NOTE: this came to pass
when Mount Pelée blew in May 8, 1902 and utterly destroyed the town
of St. Pierre in Martinique. 28,000 people died within a few
minutes. A second eruption then happened on May 20, 1902 which
killed 2,000 rescue workers and survivors. It was a mega-volcanic
catastrophe that shocked France and the world and is considered the
worst volcanic disaster of the 20th century.)

The apparition of the Virgin
of February 2, 1897 was accompanied by a luminous banner on which
this inscription appeared:
"Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, pray for us all who hope in you"

PROPHECY: ST: JOAN OF ARC
WILL APPEAR AND SAVE FRANCE
On Tuesday, May 18, 1897,
Marie Martel had a long ecstasy of 45 minutes.
Marie sees St. Joan of Arc, (who had not yet been canonised at the time.):

"Oh! Beautiful! ... She

Then Marie fell on her knees, and remained about twenty minutes, her head bowed a little, her hands at shoulder height, her palm out.
She then gets up and recites the "Memorare". The vision stops soon after.
Marie's description of St. Joan of Arc:

Marie's description of St. Joan of Arc:
"Joan of Arc is dressed in an armour, which covers her chest and arms: she has barbs / sharp points on her elbows. She has a purple-blue skirt, dotted with golden lilies. Her face is very beautiful. She is bareheaded: her rounded hair on her collar is quite short. She holds in her right hand a sword, and in the left, a white standard, on which are written in golden letter these words: "Jesus, Mary." A dove is perched at the end of the flagstaff. "
Marie Martel also wrote about the vision in her notes:
"In May, 1897, I saw Joan of Arc. The Blessed Virgin told me that she would reappear at the moment of great danger, and again she will come to save France. She will reappear where she had passed. The last word was “Poor Rouen! Woe to Rouen!" (i.e St. Joan was martyred in Rouen).

PROPHETIC VISION OF THE
FUTURE BASILICA OF TILLY
(Image: drawing designed according to what was seen in the visions.)
Saturday, May 22, 1897,
Marie Martel arrived at the
Field at 4 o'clock. After a few Ave, she went into ecstasy: "Oh!
The standard! ... Venerable Joan of Arc! ... "
Then she fell on her knees, and walked the space a few feet.
Marie asked for several graces, and exclaimed: "Oh! Do not hit them! I beg you, my good Mother!" (i.e do not strike them with punishments!)
She rose again, still in ecstasy, and approached the high barrier behind the Chapel. Her look became very bright.
"Oh ! How beautiful,” she exclaimed, "How beautiful! We can never build anything so beautiful! "
At that moment, one could clearly see in her eyes the image of a basilica. The vision stopped a few moments later. It lasted 42 minutes.
In other ecstasies she described Tilly's future basilica, and even drew a picture of it. This drawing conformed to what the little children of the school had admired. (i.e. The children had also seen the vision of the future basilica that will one day be built on the site at Tilly).
Marie Martel says "I asked our good Mother, for the adoration of the Most Blessed Sacrament, where to establish it? The voice answered, "Here it is."
“And at that moment, I found myself transported, and suddenly I saw very clearly the Most Blessed Sacrament, carried by an Angel. Several Angels were in front, in two ranks, and walked in accompaniment; others walked from behind, also in two ranks. The Most Blessed Sacrament left in its path a very luminous trail. Oh! It was beautiful to see! The angels held lighted candles in their hands. All were dressed in white."

Thursday, May 27, 1897 Feast of the Ascension:
A large crowd was at the
Field. Marie arrived about six o'clock, and had successively two
ecstasies. A pious pilgrim testifies:
"Marie saw the little victims, the children of the Charity Bazaar, crowned.
"Marie saw the little victims, the children of the Charity Bazaar, crowned.
(NOTE: The Charity Bazaar
was an annual charity event organised by the French Catholic
aristocracy in Paris from 1885 onwards. The 'victims' of the Bazaar
is referring to the victims of tragic fire at the 1897 bazaar that on
May 4 of that year claimed 126 lives, many of them aristocratic
women, the most eminent of whom was the Duchess of Alençon, née
Duchess Sophie in Bavaria, sister of the famous Empress Sisi and
one-time fiancée of King Ludwig II of Bavaria. The tragedy was a
major shock to the people of France and Europe. A chapel of
atonement, Notre-Dame de Consolation, was built on the location of
the Bazaar. This chapel is dedicated to victims of fire and serves
the Italian Catholic community in Paris.)
Marie Martel first saw three nuns of Saint Vincent de Paul crowned: on the first day, they only went through the flames of Purgatory.
Marie Martel then was told St. Joan of Arc must reappear in Orleans, Domremy, Compiegne, Rouen. St. Joan of Arc said, "Woe to you, Rouen!"
Marie Martel writes in her notes: "Many times I heard these words:" Penance! The Blessed Virgin asked for candles to be blessed."
That day, the Blessed Virgin told me that I would have much to suffer, and that I would have many trials, even from the clergy. Our good Mother asked me if I wanted to suffer for the conversion of sinners. I answered, "Yes, for your love, and for all that has been done to your divine Son. I was given a relic of the true cross: I venerated it with great respect."

OTHER
PROPHECIES for MAY, 1897: PARIS WILL BE STRUCK FIRST, MONTMARTRE
WILL BE SPARED, VERSAILLES DESTROYED, FONTAINEBLEAU PRESERVED.
In May, Marie Martel has
other revelations:
Our Lady: "My child, for you the world will be cruel. There are some who will try to crush you, to trample you; they will spit in your face. Above all, be calm and say nothing. You will be well humiliated. What I have told you is the truth.
If God has not yet struck, (i.e has not yet chastised the earth) it is because, in His goodness as Father, He has waited for the return of sinners; and today what has He received from this expectation? What blasphemies ... And yet my Divine Son, in his goodness, has made known to them all the misfortunes that threaten them, by warnings He sends them.
Now God will strike if you refuse to pray, to do penance and to convert. Oh! Pray, my dear children, for I will soon not be able to stop this divine anger, which will be sent from the Divine Master.”
The Blessed Virgin says: "The first blow will be on Paris: theatres will blow up; victims will burn; the blood will flow. (Marie Martel: I saw Montmartre spared, Versailles destroyed, Fontainebleau preserved).
You must pray well. You are in dangerous days, and there will be some preserved.
A disaster will pass in a festival that will be given; and the other is nothing next to it. (i.e. This is a possible reference that the Charity Bazaar disaster of Paris that happened that year which shocked everyone, which will be nothing compared to what's coming).
Many will see me rise above danger, and the angels will be with me.
The catastrophe is going to be so terrible that so that the world will pray better ... I see them coming by God in a more distant time ... Oh! How many weeping mothers! They will shriek to the sky when they see their children writhing in the flames! Oh ! It is there that these mothers will forget the feasts of Baal and all their pleasures; and during these days of mourning, the world will pray better. Many will come to prostrate themselves before the divine tabernacles, and ask God's forgiveness ... Ah! What repentance! But unfortunately ! It will be too late !... Since the world does not want to pray, that's how God will strike! "
And then the word "Penance!" Was repeated.
A great miracle is going to take place, and many more will follow.
Do not be discouraged. You must pray, pray well.
Marie Martel: The Blessed Virgin also says that in a festival that would be given for little children, there would be many victims, who would shout, who would resound in the air. (NOTE: It seems a great fire or calamity will break out at a festival given for children. Apparently, the chastisements of Paris will begin with the tragic destruction of this festival.) And most of these children, it is the mothers who lead them where my Divine Son does not want, and it is there that these mothers will beat their chests, when they will see their children writhing in the flames.”
Marie Martel: “Have mercy on Paris! Hold the arm of your divine Son! ... After it has passed, they will not think about it! ... Forgive us! ... Forgive us all! ... "
Marie, who feels no fatigue, takes her rosary.
Then Our Lady recommends blessed candles in anticipation of the time of darkness.
Our Lady: "My child, for you the world will be cruel. There are some who will try to crush you, to trample you; they will spit in your face. Above all, be calm and say nothing. You will be well humiliated. What I have told you is the truth.

Marie, who feels no fatigue, takes her rosary.
Then Our Lady recommends blessed candles in anticipation of the time of darkness.
(IMPORTANT NOTE: is this a
reference to the TWO and THREE DAYS OF DARKNESS in which only blessed
candles will light? Note, according to the approved mystic
Marie-Julie Jahenny, they must be 100% wax or they will NOT LIGHT,
beeswax is the material approved by the Church. See more about
Marie-Julie's revelations regarding the wax candles, click here.)

PROPHECY – TILLY WILL
ONE DAY BE GREATER THAN LOURDES AS A PILGRIM SITE
(Okay, we'll have to wait and see how or if this comes to pass, considering the current question on the apparitions.)
On August 17, 1899, Marie
Martel, while in front of the Grotto of Massabielle in Lourdes, heard
a voice, obviously Our Lady:
"You see that the
world comes here (Lourdes) in great numbers to pray (...) it is not
much in comparison with those who will come to Tilly. A day will
come when Lourdes will become a little Tilly."

Marie Martel's Relic of
the True Cross
Marie Martel: "One day the Blessed Virgin said to me:
"My child, lend the relic that you wear which is that of the true cross. Take it to little Bétou: she will heal. From this day, to all those who ask you, do not refuse it ... My child, "she added," by the virtue of this cross, you will obtain many healings and conversions. "
Little Betou, who was the first to get it, was cured of meningitis.
Whenever the relic was asked for the conversion of a sinner, was converted.

The Medal Blessed at
Tilly - (Medal not specified, perhaps a Miraculous Medal was
blessed by Our Lady at Tilly)
A young girl of the number of pilgrims to Tilly asked Marie for a medal blessed in the Field by the Blessed Virgin, for a very sick ungodly person on the point of death. That person was then asked to put the medal on this old hardened sinner. The family also introduced a priest to him as they did so. At first, there was nothing but an outpouring of insults and profanities that shocked everyone, even the priest was forced withdraw, unable to do anything with this hardened sinner.
When the priest left, the grieved family said, "Well! the Tilly medal did not serve us much!"
However, the person who was supposed to put the medal on the sinner revealed he hadn't done so. He is hastened immediately to put it to him, and very soon afterwards the patient asks his mother, "Will the parish priest come back to see me?"
“After all that you have told him, it is impossible for him to even think of setting foot in our house,” his mother replied.
"Ah, I want him back! Let's go get him! I ask ... I need him ... "
The priest came back and cried with happiness, for the patient had confessed. The convert lived another four days, received the last Sacraments with the greatest piety, and died in sentiments of faith, contrition, and trust in God.

When the priest left, the grieved family said, "Well! the Tilly medal did not serve us much!"
However, the person who was supposed to put the medal on the sinner revealed he hadn't done so. He is hastened immediately to put it to him, and very soon afterwards the patient asks his mother, "Will the parish priest come back to see me?"
“After all that you have told him, it is impossible for him to even think of setting foot in our house,” his mother replied.
"Ah, I want him back! Let's go get him! I ask ... I need him ... "
The priest came back and cried with happiness, for the patient had confessed. The convert lived another four days, received the last Sacraments with the greatest piety, and died in sentiments of faith, contrition, and trust in God.

JESUS REQUESTS ONE HOUR
OF REPARATION On FRIDAYS
Marie Martel: in June 1901,
the Sacred Heart of Jesus said to me:
Our Lord: "My child, from this day, I take you to be, near my people, my intermediary, to ask each of my children to come, every Friday of the year, spend an hour with the Divine tabernacles: that is to say, an hour of worship, (adoration) to repair all the outrages, of which My Heart is showered every day, from My own children.
On Sundays, most of them profane My Holy Day, which I have reserved for Myself, and others blaspheme Me, and even come to sit at My holy table, to receive My Sacred Flesh and My Precious Blood, (i.e. in the state of mortal sin): They come to make Me undergo a new agony. It is necessary to pray for these unfortunate ones, so that they become converted. My Holy Mother must be implored for them. "
Marie-Martel: “The good Jesus also told me that I had to start with the poor, to ask to do the hour of adoration."
Our Lord: "And above all, my child, do not fail to fulfil the mission that I have just given you, and sometimes you will find many troubles and trials: even you will laugh at yourself, you will find yourself in trouble.
My child, place slander underfoot; because for all that comes from heaven there are more difficulties than for things that come from the earth. Child, be brave! Take courage! Answer My call!

Say to those who apologise for not being able to come every week, that they come on the first Friday of each month, and especially that it is necessary to be well prepared, to come to receive Me, to repair all the outrages of which I am showered, as well as My Father, who is ready to strike the whole of France.
(NOTE: if you cannot make
the hour act of reparation every Friday, to at least do it every
First Friday).
She (France) is the most guilty! It is she who has received the most graces and blessings, and I have received only ingratitude! The world will be chastised if it refuses to pray and do penance.
France will be chastised ... The trials will come ... At the moment when the law on the Congregations will pass that religious who will (be forced) leave! The schism against the Church is being made ... "

(NOTE: this also is the same
revelation as given to Marie-Julie Jahenny – an evil secular law
will be passed in France that will force religious and clergy to
leave the country. It is a diabolical law and a great apostate
schism will occur. The chastisements will start in earnest then.)

MIRACLE SEEN IN THE SUN
In July 1901, a crowd of
pilgrims saw "phenomena in the sun, and an impressive rain of
luminous globes” at Tilly.
::::::::::::::::::::::
THE THREE DAYS OF
DARKNESS – FIRE WILL FALL FROM THE SKY
On Sunday July 7, 1901, on
the Three Days of Darkness:
"All the balls started from the sun, as if they had come out from behind it. When they started from the bottom of the sun, they were a little elongated like lemons, then they grew bigger; but they diminished as they came towards us, until they became very small. (NOTE: sounds like astral objects coming from behind the sun, but not like anything we know considering they diminish in size as they approach the earth. This may be a completely never before seen cosmic phenomena.)
"All the balls started from the sun, as if they had come out from behind it.

(NOTE: sounds like astral objects coming from behind the sun, but not like anything we know considering they diminish in size as they approach the earth. This may be a completely never before seen cosmic phenomena.)
They swayed then; one meter of earth (...) Everyone was covered: they (i.e the strange balls) were in countless quantities.
There were some green ones, some rose, some dark blue, some black (of a black of lead mine), some yellow, colour of flame, fire ... some came in large numbers to us, others went to all sides.
I saw a lot of the sun, and falling on the Church especially, it hurt me a lot. My heart was tight ...
I also saw several times below the sun (something) like a mourning curtain, there was no cloud at all and the sky was all pink. This black was only below the sun; it disappeared quickly and reappeared again ... that's when I heard a voice telling me that the black I saw, that's how the darkness will be!
And the balls that look like flames, it's the fire for Paris and for different places!
This is how the fire of heaven will fall.
We will do penance. We refuse now, but we will do penance ... We must pray ... but a lot, to stop the arm of Divine Justice.
The voice was that of the Sacred Heart.
With all the other balls that I saw fall, the Voice also said to me: "Here are all the punishments of all kinds, and then also great misfortunes threaten you. The good ones will also pay for the bad ones. "
The voice was very severe, I would have preferred not to hear it. How sad it was!"
::::::::::::::::::::::
From February to March 1906, Marie Martel was assailed with slanders. The Blessed Virgin had told her: "My child, you will be well humiliated. It will come a moment that you will be flouted. You will see a lot of trouble around you.
The children, they make them blaspheme. The holy name of God is no longer respected in most families, but the good Master will chastise them.
My children, redouble prayers for the healing of the sick, and especially for the conversion of sinners. "
Marie Martel saw in that same month of March St. Joseph and the Archangel Saint Michael.
Another time, Our Lady: "My child, my child, be brave! ... You will always be persecuted by the world and the devil ... When you are discouraged, go back, in the memory whenever I showed myself to you. .. Do not be afraid! I will always be near you ... There will be many times that you will find yourself discouraged, even that your faith will be ready to leave you ... Reassure yourself, invoke my name ... It will be enough to revive you ... It is God who allows it to test you. Child, be generous!"

MORE ON THE CHASTISEMENTS
– Our Lady Promises to Protect Those Always Devoted to Her
Ecstasy of August 15, 1901,
the Blessed Virgin says: "My children, all the balls (of fire)
you see are nothing compared to the misfortunes and punishments of
all kinds, which have been announced, and of which they mock so much
...
It will be necessary to repair the outrages committed on all sides. Most of them, on Sundays, do not go to Mass: that is what insults my Divine Son!
The others blaspheme: that is what insults my Divine Son!
Many others already outrage the Holy Tabernacle.
Pray, pray, my children ... You will all be about to be tested: the good ones will pay for the culprits, I will protect many, especially those who have always trusted me.
All the animals that you saw, that's how it will come in many places! They will devour whatever they find in their path. Many people will be devoured." (NOTE: It appears animals will go on the rampage and devour people as well.)
Marie Martel: I saw a lot of ships gobbled up. This is how everyone will do penance! The fire on Paris was announced again, and that's when I saw a big banner, on which was written "War, plague, famine, plagues of all kinds. "
I saw a cross surrounded by little angels. Oh ! How beautiful they were!

I saw a cross surrounded by little angels. Oh ! How beautiful they were!
Afterwards, I saw Saint
Radegonde. (i.e St. Radegund) It was the first time I saw her. She
rested her feet on a banner, held by two little angels, and on which
was written "Saint Radegonde." How beautiful she was! She
was all dressed in white: a beautiful white coat, with a gold border.
She was crowned.
Afterwards, I saw the Sacred Heart. Oh ! How much I was seized, seeing the Heart of Jesus bleeding! The Sacred Heart said to me, "You must ask for adorers for every Friday, and you must begin with the poor. " (I.e. The request for the hour of adoration and reparation before a tabernacle.)
At that moment, the blood flowed, I could not behold it any more, it hurt to see!
And always the Voice complained "Here, and in many other places, you do not hasten to make Me adored. At all costs, it is necessary before the punishments, to appease the arm of the Divine Justice, I will bless all those who will make adoration to Me. Come tomorrow morning recite the rosary! "

I went the next morning (August 16), as the Sacred Heart had told me.
During the recitation of the rosary, I heard the word "Penance! " several times.
When I asked the Sacred Heart for Tilly's triumph, the Sacred Heart replied, "It will be at the moment of the great shock, which will pass. There must not despair; you must pray a lot. "

October 1901
On the feast day of the Holy
Guardian Angels, October 2, 1901:
Marie-Martel: "I went to the Field, as the Voice had asked me, about 7:15 pm, entering the Field, I saw many people, who was grouped in the place where I had the great favour to see.
I started my rosary, and it was at the second decade of the first rosary, that I saw the Angels who accompanied the Blessed Virgin. And they prayed well, with their beautiful little white rosaries!
Suddenly I was surprised by the voice of our good Mother, whom I recognised immediately. The voice told me,
Marie-Martel: "I went to the Field, as the Voice had asked me, about 7:15 pm, entering the Field, I saw many people, who was grouped in the place where I had the great favour to see.
I started my rosary, and it was at the second decade of the first rosary, that I saw the Angels who accompanied the Blessed Virgin. And they prayed well, with their beautiful little white rosaries!
Suddenly I was surprised by the voice of our good Mother, whom I recognised immediately. The voice told me,
Our Lady: "There will
be many disasters and misfortunes, even in places very close to this
place where I showed myself.
They did not believe in me; many showed me their indifference, and yet, deep down, they were touched, but they wanted to show themselves as those who do not believe... Others have been fervent. Ah! I will bless them, I reserve them many graces. "
Marie-Martel: And then, the voice was silent for a moment. I then asked many thanks to our good Mother of Heaven, for all our dear patients and their healing, and especially many conversions.
Many were promised to me, I also asked the Blessed Virgin to bless us, and at that moment, all the Angels I saw made the sign of the cross, which showed me that our good Mother of Heaven blessed us. I also asked for Tilly's triumph. The voice answered me: "It will pass! It will not be long in coming. "
At that moment, I saw a very bright light, I could hardly look at it, when all of a sudden, in the middle of this great light, I see the Sacred Heart, but in bust only the rest was lost in a beautiful cloud white all dotted with bright spots from the rays of this great light.
The good Jesus had His arms extended; His face was very severe: "Here, I asked for an hour every Friday, but an hour of adoration. They do not go ... and yet you must! I will give so many graces and lights, when you have accomplished what I have just asked!"
Marie Martel: “ I also asked a lot for the Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, for the first Fridays of each month. The Sacred Heart answered me: "You'll have it, but not yet." (i.e. at the apparition site.)
I asked the good Jesus again for the religious congregations, the Sacred Heart answered me:
"They (should) not have asked for anything yet and especially not to run away." (NOTE: translation I'm having trouble with – perhaps Our Lord is saying the religious congregations haven't bothered to ask Him for anything and yet or refuse to turn to Him, and He is exhorting them not to run away – apparently, this is in reference to bad clergy and the coming schism when they will be tempted to become apostates?)
I saw, at that moment, large drops of blood flow from His Holy Heart, His eyes were full of tears, but I did not see them fall.
And the Voice went on: "They are not valiant! They are not valiant!" (i.e. the clergy will not be courageous for the Faith when the times turn bad.)
The Sacred Heart has also announced great misfortunes, of which we are much threatened.
Our Lord: "In many different places, little children will be slaughtered, even in the arms of their mothers. Many people will be destroyed by water, others by fire from the sky. (…) All these punishments are terrible ... What priests, who have fled, will be massacred! ... The blood will flow freely ... you must also pray a lot for the Holy Father, the Pope, and for all the clergy … He is not valiant! When all these punishments will pass, they will all be in great terror! That's why we must pray! ...” (NOTE: apparently, the pope during the chastisements will lack courage and will also be tempted to flee. Other mystics have also predicted this. We must pray the Pope does not flee Rome during the chastisements.)
“I see a lot of everything giving up. They (the clergy) will forget all the commitments they made. They will suffer, and even they will forget their Father of Heaven. All those who will remain peaceful, and who patiently wait for all these misfortunes, will be the blessed of My Father.
This is the last time that I warn you of all that will happen: War, plague, famine, plagues of all kinds. Everyone will have to suffer, plus one less. Your souls must wake up. It's time! It's the test! ... "
Marie Martel: And then the voice of the good Jesus also told me that it was the last time He asked for the hour of adoration. (i.e. The Hour of Reparation / Adoration every Friday before the tabernacle, or at least every First Friday)
I heard these words again:
Our Lord: "France is guilty; she will be punished and punished. It takes blood to repair the outrages with which My Heart is showered. France is making a huge wound to My heart. She does not content herself, she enlarges it every day. Pray, my children! Come near My tabernacle.
Come to adore this Heart, which suffers horribly because of your ingratitude! Oh! Come comfort My Heart! It is the channel, through which all the graces, which loves to spread in souls, overflow. It is also the road, which leads in the way to Heaven."
Marie Martel: I asked a lot to quell the divine wrath. I prayed the good Jesus to soften all these punishments; I was very scared ... Good Jesus looked to the right and to the left, and blessed us, as if to say to us: Goodbye! His face became radiant and beautiful.
And then, a great light has enveloped everything: the vision if lifted. I did not see anything any more.
When I found myself in the middle of all this world, it seemed very sad to me, and yet, on the other hand, I was happy, because everyone was praying well; I thought that was why the good Jesus had looked right and left: it was probably to hear the prayer of all His children ...
They did not believe in me; many showed me their indifference, and yet, deep down, they were touched, but they wanted to show themselves as those who do not believe... Others have been fervent. Ah! I will bless them, I reserve them many graces. "

December 2, 1901:
Marie Martel: "I went
to the Field, as the voice had asked me (...) I got on my knees, and
I began the rosary.
It was during the Sorrowful Mysteries that I saw before me a very bright light, and at that moment I perceived all the Angels that surrounded our good Mother, when she showed herself in this blessed place. I also saw many lilies, and stars falling on the angels, and also falling on us.
At that moment, I heard the voice of our good Mother, who told me that we had to pray a lot for the Holy Father, and then for the clergy. The voice of our good Mother was very sad! It seemed to me that her heart was very big, for the voice was sobbing:
Our Lady: "You must pray for everything that happens in a large part of the clergy. O my children! These things are appalling! When I see the enemies of my Son who lead my children to death; when I see these enemies present their deceitful promises to many who carry the priesthood of my Divine Son, (i.e these enemies will lead priests astray) I see them, these souls, (the wayward priests) descend into the hollow of abysses, and I also see the Divine wrath that will strike! ...
All the words that I brought to the earth, most rejected them, and even trampled on them.
My words have been blasphemed! They refuse to believe them! ... A moment will come when all that I have brought to earth will be preached by the beloved of my Divine Son, and all those who have blasphemed them will be struck. (...) The Heart of my Divine Son is so outraged that sometimes He Forgets His Blessed Mother! He is ready to split heaven, to sift them all, in the sieve of His holiness.” (I.e. He 'forgets' her intercession – He is ready to strike the earth).
"All the misfortunes, which I have come to announce on the mount of La Salette, will arrive. The clergy trod on my words at their feet; they laughed; they did not want to do anything; they did not want to hear me! And today their hearts are going to be tortured, for lack of faith in my words. Here, they turned a deaf ear to my call! But Divine Justice will wake them up ... Their hearts are harder than stone! Only the punishments that will strike them will make them see their cowardice against me!"

PROPHECY: TWO VOLCANOES
WILL ERUPT IN FRANCE- THE CIVIL WAR IN FRANCE
June 6, 1902 in front of 600
people present. Marie Martel's gaze rises and falls, then rises again
and finally settles: she is in ecstasy.
Her hands stretch forward, her eyes rise, and suddenly she makes a movement and exclaims:
Her hands stretch forward, her eyes rise, and suddenly she makes a movement and exclaims:
"Sacred Heart of Jesus,
have mercy on us!"
The seer then walks, on her knees, the space of a few meters, and cries again, in a supplicating voice:
- Jesus, son of the living God, have mercy on us! ...
- My Jesus, mercy! ...
- Jesus, son of David, heal our sick! ...
- Oh ! Stop these misfortunes! ...
- Protect France! ...
- Ah! Forgive us, I beg you! ...
- Stop! Stop! ...
- Defend them against your enemies! ... »
Now here is how the seer relayed in her notes what she had seen and heard:
"One of the angels stood up and turned towards us. At that moment, I heard the voice of our good Mother, who said to me:
Our Lady: "We must pray well, because of the misfortunes and punishments that will happen. In France, two volcanoes will blow, and mountains collapse. The misfortunes of Martinique are nothing compared to all that will happen. I see a great destruction of my people: I see many perish in flames, others by water, another by famine, plague and war. It's the civil war that will begin, and the blood will flow ... "

The misfortunes that have come are nothing to anything that will happen. Outside France, many earthquakes; Volcanoes will also jump, mountains will collapse. "
While the Sacred Heart was telling me all the punishments, I also heard the voice of our good Mother, (Our Lady) who said: "If they prayed! If they wanted to convert! These misfortunes would they not be mitigated?”
And then the good Jesus disappeared a moment, and He reappeared less severe. He has blessed us. "

"In these days you live under a regime of crime ... but France will go to the Sacred Heart.

"In these days you live under a regime of crime ... but France will go to the Sacred Heart.
"You must come to this place and pray for the King to come, (i.e Tilly-Sur-Seulles). This is the monarchy which will ensure the recovery of France in a new era because the royalty of France is traditionally a Christian regime."

May 3, 1903 - PRAY FOR
THE FUTURE KING and the AUGUST PONTIFF (Angelic Pontiff?) - THE AGE
OF PEACE
Marie Martel reports from
the vision of May 3, 1903:
Our Lady "... The triumph will come, it will not be long (in coming) ... I pray, I beg my Divine Son, with the heart of the tenderest of the mothers, so that He removes the plagues ... O my children, pray, pray a lot! ... It will be necessary to pray a lot during the months of August and September ... It is necessary to pray for the future King ... and for the Sovereign Pontiff ... The Republic, will fall: it is the reign of Satan! ... Another world and another reign will come ... "
Our Lady "... The triumph will come, it will not be long (in coming) ... I pray, I beg my Divine Son, with the heart of the tenderest of the mothers, so that He removes the plagues ... O my children, pray, pray a lot! ... It will be necessary to pray a lot during the months of August and September ... It is necessary to pray for the future King ... and for the Sovereign Pontiff ... The Republic, will fall: it is the reign of Satan! ... Another world and another reign will come ... "
(IMPORTANT NOTE: France did
not have a king at this point, and still doesn't, which means this is
obviously a prophecy regarding the GREAT CATHOLIC MONARCH and ANGELIC
PONTIFF destined to reign during the Age of Peace and restore the
Church. Of interest, this prophecy also confirms Marie-Julie
Jahenny's prophecies that democracy and the Masonic Republic of
France was from Hell itself. Marie-Julie Jahenny foretold the throne
of France would be eventually restored by Henry V, the Miracle Child,
and -- he was born on September 29, st. Michael's Day and died on
August 24 on the eve of St. Louis IX's death, his royal ancestor –
and, he is STILL the one destined to restore the throne. These
months correspond with the months Marie Martel was told at Tilly we
must pray for the future king and pontiff. Marie Martel was told
the triumph would come with a great miracle, and, this may be
referring to the return of Henry V, the promised Great Monarch
according to Marie-Julie Jahenny, and also the mystics Ven. Josepha
of Bourg and the 'Ecstatic of Tours'. See more about Henry V, click here.)
Marie Martel then reports having seen the massacre of priests in Paris. (i.e this is obviously the Civil War in France that will break out in Paris and will come before the Age of Peace)

MARIE MARTEL PREDICTS THE
DEATH OF LEO XIII and that he will ONE DAY BE CANONISED
"On July 8, 1903 I
heard the voice of Our Lord who said to me," My children, at
this moment the Holy Father thinks of you all: he blesses you. "This
word was repeated twice.
When I went to recite my rosary, I offered it for the restoration of the Holy Father. After praying for a moment, the voice of our good Mother of Heaven said to me:
Our Lady: "My child, the Holy Father will soon be with me; he will soon leave you ... His hour is very near, I bless him ... My child, tell your spiritual father that I will gather his last breath (of the Holy Father); I will appear to him at the moment of his death, and those who surround him will perceive something, and they will not speak of it; they will keep it for themselves, but I, my child, will reveal it to holy souls, who will publish it ... My child, if you pray well, he will appear to you after his death. "

My child, if you pray well, he will appear to you after his death. "
"On July 13, I prayed for the Holy Father; I heard the voice of our good Mother of Heaven who said to me:
"He will soon be happy, because his end is near, and he blesses you instantly, he deserved his crown, because he has always been zealous for his Church. He had much to suffer because of France and the high clergy, but God will deliver him, and give him the beautiful place he has prepared for him up there, I see him coming to receive his crown ... "
On July 15th, the Blessed Virgin tells me:
"Soon, my child, the Holy Father will be very happy, I will go get it: I will be accompanied by my Angels ... If all my children were like him, that tears they spare me! ... O my children, you can pray to him: he is a saint! A day will come when they will recognise him ... " (I.e. formally as a saint)
Marie Martel: For the feast of our good Mother of Heaven, I brought her a bouquet of roses. At the same moment that I put this bouquet at the feet of the Blessed Virgin, I heard these words: "My child, offer me these flowers in honor of the holiness of the Holy Father. My child, when you see the rose from the middle of the bouquet fade, it will be at the moment of the death of the Holy Father. "
In the morning, at 4 o'clock, the very day of the death of the Holy Father (July 20), I heard a voice from my room telling me that "the Holy Father was going to die at 4 o'clock in the evening."

July 20, 1903 – THE
MONARCHY OF FRANCE WILL BE RESURRECTED
"The Blessed Virgin tells me:
"Take courage, my children, I assure you: I will do here (at Tilly) what I have never done in the whole world ... "
"The King of France in the Great Glorious Kingdom of Christ King Master of the Nations".
"A monastery was there once. It is dead. He will resurrect another, of a new kind ... "

"The French Royalty, incarnated by Saint Louis and Joan of Arc, was decapitated in Louis XVI and buried with Charles X ... it will be resurrected by Tilly."
(NOTE: This means Heaven
also recognised Charles X as the last legitimate king of France and also his
line, Henry V, which never had the chance to officially ascend the throne, so,
it had been buried with him so to speak. Devotion to the apparitions
and the prophecies of Tilly will aid the RESURRECTION of the French
Monarchy. Interesting Heaven uses the term 'resurrection' and not
restoration!)

In her “Intimate Notes”,
Marie recorded, on May 3, 1909 the following sentence: “The Blessed
Virgin blessed us, and she recommended us to pray for the clergy
"because it is not what it should be".
"Our good Mother tells me that I would have a lot to suffer from men.”
Our Lady: "Here below, my child, you will only have suffering, be courageous calm and patient, I will comfort you in suffering". "What you asked me, one day that you suffered a lot, you will be granted, but, for that, it is necessary to ask it, every day, with simplicity". "You will find days when the suffering will be very great, even where your adoptive parents will be discouraged, seeing you suffer. But it must not be; on the contrary, it is you, in suffering, who will console them. Tell them: do not be discouraged. You will suffer for all those who do not want God, especially those who blaspheme and outrage ... O child, be generous! Answer my call and that of my divine Son!"

St. Michael: “... SOON

Approval for a chapel – Controversy
Breaks Out – then Church Approval Confirmed Again
In 1897, on the Lepetit
field at the exit of the village of Tilly-Sur-Seulles, a wooden
chapel was erected: "Notre Dame du Rosaire", 'Our Lady of the Rosary', built with the
authorisation of Mgr Hugonin, Bishop of Bayeux.
(Image: the original wooden chapel)
Then, in May 1905, Bishop
Amette forbade the clergy to go there, but then ...
May 1906, St. Pius X granted
a special blessing to Tilly's dean and also to Marie Martel, Rome was favorable to the apparitions to in 1907.St. Pius X personally believed in the apparitions and in 1908 St. Pius X ordered an
account for the opposition to them, but then Bishop Amette begged St. Pius X
for forgiveness, replying he no longer doubted that the events at
Tilly were supernatural. March 1909 Bishop Amette did penance for
speaking out against Tilly.
However, a formal declaration of approval was never decreed despite the tokens of favourability it received.
However, a formal declaration of approval was never decreed despite the tokens of favourability it received.
Controversy broke
out again when Bishop Amette's successor refused to authorise pilgrimages to
Tilly.
Still, in 1910 St. Pius X /
Rome was favourable to Tilly, including the cardinals. Obviously,
this rebellion against Tilly was a strange occurence.
Eventually pilgrimages were permitted.
The original chapel at Tilly was destroyed during the bombings of 1944, and rebuilt in May 1953. The modest chapel is today known as the "chapel of the Most Holy Rosary."
(Image: the new chapel and the field of Tilly).
The visions of Tilly to this
day are have not been formally approved by the Church, but they have not been condemned either, even with the latest statement from the local bishop, although the services there are currently in question due to the priest not being under the auspices of the local authority.
Let us pray that the Church will one day approve the apparitions - it is quite possible God is reserving the full Triumph of Tilly when the chastisements break and people recall the messages given there for as Marie Martell said:
"When I asked the Sacred Heart for Tilly's triumph, the Sacred Heart replied, "It will be at the moment of the great shock, which will pass."
