VENERABLE ANNE ROSE
JOSÈPHE DU BOURG (1788-1862), also known as Venerable Mother Marie
De Jésus du Bourg, and in English simply as 'Mother Josepha of
Bourg'.
She was born June 25, 1788 at Château de
Rochemontès, sixteen kilometers from Toulouse. She
was the daughter of a martyr of the French Revolution and entered the
religious life in 1809. Later she went to Limoges where she founded
the Congrégation des Soeurs du Sauveur et de la Sainte Vierge,
(Congregation of the Sisters of the Saviour and the Holy Virgin). The French version of Wikipedia has a page on her order, click here.
From the
information I can glean on the Internet from French sites, she
received the stigmata, diabolical attacks from the devil, levitation,
and supernatural ecstasies.
The introduction for her cause for canonisation occured November 21, 1920, and received the degree of 'non cultu' in March 22, 1927. Processes de non cultu are instituted to prove that the decrees of Urban VIII regarding the prohibition of public worship of servants of God before their beatification have been obeyed; they are generally conducted by the bishop of the place where the relics of the servant of God are preserved. I have yet to find out when or if she was declared 'Venerable' but she is described as such on French sites. Possibly might be a confusion with the general term as 'venerable' as someone worthy of respect rather than the definition associated with the canonisation process, but still, her case is open and she is definitely a "Servant of God" in that case.
She received invaluable revelations about the future of France which
she collected in a pamphlet called “Vues intérieures” (Inner
Views) in 1857 - Our Lord told her that it was not for her that these
words were spoken to her, obviously, they were for France and the
world.
There are four main
revelations by Ven. Mother du Bourg that were published in 'Inner
Views' and are in complete agreement with the revelations of Sr.
Marie Letaste, Marie-Julie Jahenny, and the “Ecstatic of Tours”.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Prophecy One
For 1830. “A year
before the July Revolution, (i.e 1829) I was in the chapel; I was
going out to visit the poor and the sick, when Jesus Christ tells me
interiorly, but in a very distinct way: "Stay with Me, my
daughter, I am the first poor you must visit and console! " So
I had an interior view of Jesus Christ that the wicked crucify
anew.
“I understood that there was a conspiracy against Religion and the state; it broke out about a year later. When it took place, I begged with tears the Lord to take a glace of compassion on us, and I understood then that the royal child who was brought into exile would return later to
rule France. ( i.e. HENRY V, the Count of Chambord, the 'Miracle Child' who was exiled in 1830).
"The holy Archangel Saint Michael, in particular, let me feel his presence, told me several things in advance and that he was the special protector of France, and that one day he would bring Prince Dieudonné back. (NOTE: this is in complete conformity with the revelation of Marie-Julie Jahenny who declared St. Michael would be sent to the 'resting place of the head of France' and march with Henry V and his armies back into France. One of Henry's V's middle names is DIEUDONNÉ.)

One of Henry's V's middle names is DIEUDONNÉ.)
During the reign of Louis
Philippe, I heard the Lord say with a threatening voice to this king:
“You have despised Me;
you had My people apostatised by having them work on Sundays. Youth
has been delivered to the ungodly.”
And I
understood then that this king would be punished, and I was told that
time was drawing near; and soon the revolution of 1848 broke out.
The ramparts and fortresses built in defiance of the law of God
(Sunday), could not defend the one who had elevated them for his
safety according to the beautiful words of Saint Felix: “With the
protection of Jesus Christ the strongest walls are only cobwebs.” I
understood above all that it was the profanation of Sunday which drew
on France the most terrible scourges.
(Observations in
connection with this prophecy: In 1830, King Louis-Philippe I and
the National Assembly had usurped the throne of France from the true
heir, Henry V, the Count of Chambord. Our Lord complained to the
mystic Sr. Marie Letaste that this was an evil action, the people had
chosen this king and had rejected the king He sent them, Henry V.
Also, Our Lord revealed to Marie-Julie Jahenny that the Orléans
branch of the royal house of France to which Louis-Philippe belonged
was out of favour with Heaven and that none of Louis-Philippe's heirs
were the destined Great Monarch. Henry V, the 'Miracle Child' of
exile was the chosen Great Catholic Monarch and that all the
prophecies refer to him. We will see in the next prophecies that
Ven. Mother du Bourg will also continue to confirm this.)
:::::::::
For the years 1848, 49
and 50. This revolutionary turmoil caused much blood to be shed, to
commit many crimes; but, however, the wicked were still arrested,
thanks to the intercession of Mary, the angels and the holy
protectors of France, and by the prayer and the good works of the
just. Jesus Christ was on His throne; his arm was raised to strike
the earth. Mary, placed on another throne on His right hand, tried to
stop His arm; she wanted to throw herself at His feet to beg for
mercy; Jesus Christ stopped her and said: "My Mother, command,
your prayers can not be denied."
He added that the crimes
of men went so far, that if He did not punish them, the plagues would
later only be more terrible; Mary, however, always pleaded for mercy.
It was (on behalf of) France. The exterminating angels, sword in
hand, were waiting for the signal to strike the Earth. Mary turned to
the saints of France and encouraged them to intercede for their
country; there was then a treaty between justice and mercy. Justice
will punish, but mercy will come, and we will be saved! There will be
a terrible crisis; but it was said to me that after this time of
trial, the Lord would bring back Prince Dieudonné.
(IMPORTANT OBSERVATION:
in the prophecies by Ven. Mother du Bourg, the roysl child exiled in 1830 would be brought back, and 'Prince Dieudonné' is
mentioned twice and from the French texts I've found is literally
printed with a capital P and D. English translations have missed the
importance of this and translated it literally as the phrase 'prince
given by God', or 'heaven sent prince' but it is obvious from French sources Prince Dieudonné
is a NAME and not a symbolic phrase.
Hence, Ven. Mother du
Bourg has revealed another detail that confirms Marie-Julie Jahenny's
prophecies that the Great Catholic Monarch Henry V is indeed Henry V,
the Count of Chambord, as he also received the name Dieudonné,
'Gift of God', in addition to being called the 'Miracle Child'.
Henry's full name is Henri Charles Ferdinand
Marie Dieudonné d'Artois,
duc de Bordeaux, comte de Chambord. See more about Marie-Julie Jahenny's revelations and the history of Henry V, click here. Ven. Mother du Bourg saw 'Prince Dieudonné' exiled in her own lifetime and declares here that God will BRING HIM BACK, God revealed to Marie-Julie Jahenny how this will happen.)

Prophecy Three
"The
Lord complained to me in a terrible way; (i.e. Our Lord's complaints
were terrifying to hear). He complains of this fury to seek pleasure;
he complains of the scandalous dances, the indecency, and the luxury
of adornments, and if He warns against in the Holy Gospel even a
single bad look, even a single bad desire, is it any wonder that He
punishes, by terrible punishments, the corruption of morals, which is
the necessary consequence of all these abuses, the source of so many
crimes, and which leads, with the ruin of good morals, that of health
and the loss of souls. The peoples, as always, have imitated the bad
examples of the great: there is no longer a dike at the torrent of
furious passions (i.e a dike to stop the evil torrent); divine
authority is entirely unknown; men and children despise the laws of
God, those of the family (i.e the divine rule God set for family life
are disregarded); also the order is only factitious, (i.e. The divine
norms regarding society are disregarded) the force and the constraint
alone maintain it still."
::::::::::::::::::::
Prophecy Four
The
Lord's chastisements will fall upon us in various ways. Plagues,
troubles, bloodshed. There will be in France a terrible reversal!
However these days will be shortened in favour of the righteous. God
will elevate a model king, a Christian king, to the throne. The son
of Saint Louis will love religion, goodness, justice. The Lord will
give him light, wisdom and power. He Himself has prepared him for a
long time and made him pass into the crucible of trial and suffering,
but He will recall him from exile. He, the Lord, will take him by the
hand, and on the appointed day He will place him back on the throne.
His destiny is to repair and regenerate; then consoled religion will
flourish, and all peoples will bless the reign of Prince Dieudonne;
but then evil will take over and last more or less until the end of
time. The light from above was not given to me for the last events of
the world of which the Apocalypse speaks.
