The young Spanish sister to whom these revelations were made died after a short religious life of great suffering and great fidelity. This book was written by one who has the best right to record what happened, as she was the guide and support of Sr. Josefa in the experiences which were almost too great for human nature to bear.

To read Sister Josefa Menendez' private revelations from Jesus, Mary and also the foundress of the Society of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Mother Madeleine Sophie Barat, is to step into the very heart of a victim soul. The messages of love and of suffering come from Jesus' Heart, and the heart is altered to intense love of God and a willingness to suffer all for Jesus and souls. This is the first book the priest who was to confirm me, lent and asked me to read. It gripped and wouldn't let go until I finished. I took Sr. Josefa as my Confirmation saint, for surely if there were funds for her cause, she would be canonized! She died Dec. 29, 1923, a beloved of Christ and a true victim of love, of the Sacred Heart.
