Summary: The apostolic group is at the Temple, without the women. They are waiting for Peter, who has gone to sacrifice a lamb. Meanwhile, they spot Judas and Thomas goes to listen to what he says, without waiting for Jesus' agreement. The apostle soon makes his presence known to the Iscariot, so Judas decides to go with him to see the rest of the group. But Thomas is no fool, and warns him to be careful about his behavior.

Once in front of the Master and the others, Judas greets Jesus, but Jesus is serious and points out that Judas is running away from him. Christ also points out that he ignored Peter and the group on the day of Marziam's examination. While Judas tries to justify himself, the child happily slips away to see the peasants of Doras, and Jesus asks John of Endor to hold them back a little. This is followed by a reprimand to Judas, who lets him know that he won't be able to be there the next day to see some of his father's friends. The man leaves and Jesus asks his friends to forget the incident and not to tell Simon-Pierre, John of Endor, Marziam and his Mother.

Finally, the peasants of Doras greet the Master and are ecstatic at the good health of Yabeç, who makes no secret of his affection for his Jesus. And so the vision ends.

Summary: Jesus calls John of Endor and confides in him that Isaac will probably come today with the peasants of Yokhanan. The shepherd of the Nativity will bring them home faster with the help of a Lazarus chariot. Christ asks John to divide the money in his possession into equal parts, so that the Pharisee's servants may have some comfort. The disciple promises to obey, and the Master tells him again that he will form with Isaac in Yutta. He also gives him a parable to assure him that God loves him. Joining the others, Jesus then gives the story of the prodigal son. When this is over, the apostles and disciples return to the house, and Marziam goes to find Mary and bring her to a well. Judas is there, but he doesn't dare go to his companions or to the Lord. He asks for her help, but Mary is upright and asks him if he does not feel the sorrow of the Father, of the Word, and the pain it causes.

Date of vision: Sunday, July 1, 1945.

Calendar: Wednesday, April 5, 28 (23 Nissan 3788)

Location (map): Bethany

Cycle: Apostolate in Judea

Summary: Jesus gives a parable to calm the fear of some: it will be sweet for those of good will, bitter for others, but they have the means to correct themselves. Christ gives the parable of the ten virgins. They get ready and go into the vestibule of the bridegroom's house: they talk, tell good stories, but the evening drags on. Eventually, they fall silent and fall asleep. Then, around midnight, the bridal party arrives, so they get up to fetch their lamps. Five of them are wise and have already put oil in beforehand, but the other five haven't, and are even short of oil. They ask their companions to give them some, but the latter point out that they need it to resist wind and humidity: the foolish virgins must therefore go and get some from the merchant. And so they do. Nevertheless, the procession arrives in the meantime, they enter the house, the door is closed, and the foolish virgins are left behind.

Jesus explains the parable. The Bridegroom is God. The bride is the soul of a righteous man. The virgin-servants are the souls of the faithful who seek to attain the same honor as the bride by sanctifying themselves. They are dressed in white garments: they must practice righteousness with firmness. Their clothes are clean: their hearts are humble and pure. They are freshly dressed, meaning they have a childlike heart. Their veils are white, a sign of humility. Finally, they are crowned with flowers, meaning that the soul must continue to perform virtuous deeds day after day, and they have their lamps lit, symbolizing faith. So Jesus urges everyone to be vigilant.

The peasants set off in the chariot prepared by Lazarus. John of Endor accompanies them. Jesus promises that he will speak again to the people of Bethany, which he does that evening. He tells them that the Word is poor and wanted to remain poor. He compares poor people to rich people. The former guard the Word of God, while the latter can lose sight of it with their other treasures.

The Master gives the parable of the king who marries his son. He sends his servants to warn his friends and allies, as well as the great notables of his kingdom, but no one comes. He insists, and his guests either make excuses or take it out on the servant. After the sovereign is indignant and punishes the murderers, he again sends the servants to seek out passers-by, the good and the bad, the rich and the poor. Finally, he enters the banquet hall and sees a man who has not put on his wedding clothes, even though he had given everything necessary. Since the guest remained silent, he had him thrown out, and Jesus then explained the parable. The great ones are great in name only, and reject the Word and the invitation of their King. They are harsh and wicked. The Father will send out into the streets for people who are neither his friends, nor great ones, nor allies, but simply the people who walk outside, and he will make them clean for the Kingdom of God.

Jesus then takes his leave and, through Peter, has everyone pray the Lord's Prayer. Lazarus then greets him, and if he is sad to see him go, he is happy to have seen the Master more serene. Faced with a remark from Judas, Jesus recalls the last Easter, when he was just a stranger; but this year, he saw that nothing had changed, that the Temple was even worse, since it was a place for conjuring. Jesus is severe, and even speaks of his imminent death. Faced with the weeping Virgin, and Marziam with her, he encourages everyone not to weep. Finally, he makes recommendations to Isaac and John of Endor, then greets Lazarus, Maximin and the people of Bethany, as they will be leaving the next day.

Chapter title: In Bethlehem, Mary recalls the birth of Jesus.

Date of vision: Tuesday, July 3, 1945.

Calendar: Thursday, April 6, 28 (Nissan 24, 3788)

Location (map): Bethlehem

Cycle: Apostolate in Judea

Summary: The apostolic group goes to Bethlehem with the women disciples. Peter reveals his desire to go to the grotto of the Nativity with Mary. It is quickly agreed that the Virgin will tell them her memories of Jesus' birth, which she does with great emotion. The Mother of the Lord recounted where they had stopped, and the state she and Joseph were in. Joseph was worried, but the All-Pure One was burning with love for God. They stopped by Rachel's tomb before setting off again. They met Elijah, who advised them where to stay, and then arrived in Bethlehem itself. The Virgin recounts her impressions of the town before heading for the grotto. She explains how a sleep fell over the Righteous One, and how she felt at Christ's birth. She was in ecstasy, and when she held Jesus close to her heart, she adored him, offered him to the Father, wrapped him in swaddling clothes and cared for him with Joseph. Mary tells of the arrival of the shepherds, and when asked what she did the next day, she explains that it was all very simple: she took care of her baby like any other mother. Mary of Alphaeus then pointed out that the Holy Family could have left later, for Les Encénies, but Mary knew that Jesus would be born there, and there was no question of waiting. What's more, for Joseph, it was a way of washing away every last trace of the suspicion he'd had against her, since the Scriptures had come true.

Peter is pleased with this account and explains that he will revere her as a Queen and be her slave. Jesus then intervenes, and after stating the Trinity, he explains that his Pontiff will have power where Mary will have love. He must always treat her as Queen, but without being a slave. The group then pauses, and while Mary speaks with the women, the apostles wonder if verses from the Song of Songs announce the promised Virgin. Christ then confirms that she has been spoken of since the beginning of the Book, and will continue to be spoken of in the books to come.

Judas then declares that the Word could not have humiliated Himself by subjecting Himself to the miseries of infancy. He could have come down to earth in flesh that was already adult, and had an adoptive mother like his putative father. The Master then declares that his real Incarnation was a just thing, and that heresies about his Incarnation will circulate. But he confirms that he is real flesh and that Mary is really the Mother of the Word made flesh. What's more, he confirms that he is eternally One with the Father and united with God as Flesh, for Love can do all things. His Incarnation is intended to make amends for all man's errors.

Cycle: Journey to await Pentecost

Summary: Jesus sends the apostles ahead to look for Elijah and the shepherds of the Nativity. Marziam stays with him, along with the Virgin Mary, Mary of Alphaeus and Mary Salome. The child wants to learn more about the shepherds and is surprised that they have been treated badly. The Virgin and Marziam then talk about the massacre of the Innocents and Limbo, and Mary assures him that he won't be going to Sheol, since Jesus will have already opened the gates of Heaven when he dies. The young boy finally asks how we can be with God if the Father is in Heaven, and Jesus' Mother explains that God is omnipresent and loves us. The fact that the Lord can even love Doras disturbs the child, and when Mary suggests he pray for repentance, Marziam replies spiritedly that he would rather pray for the Pharisee to die. Everyone laughs at his repartee, and Mary later corrects him, saying that God cannot approve of such an attitude. But Marziam has suffered too much because of Doras, and after recounting some of his memories, he cries, screams and writhes in pain. Jesus intervenes and instructs him not to hate anyone, under any circumstances, and to ask the Father himself to think about what he wants. Peace is restored to the child's heart, and the group continues on its way.

Chapter contents: 208.1: Jesus sends the apostles to find the shepherds. 208.2: Mary tells Marziam about the Holy Innocents, Limbo and Heaven. 208.3: She tells him about forgiving even Doras, who has made him suffer so much, but Marziam can't help hating him. 208.4: Jesus convinces him not to hate, but to pray. 208.5: We arrive at Solomon's Pools, where his splendid gardens were located. 208.6: On the way to Bet-Çur. 208.7: In Bet-çur, Mary greets Elijah, who brings her bad news from Elise. 208.8: Mary and Jesus manage to enter her home. 208.9: Faced with Elise's grief, Mary tells her that her dead son brings her the Christ he was looking for. 208.10: Jesus confirms to her that his people live forever. 208.11: Tomorrow he will speak near her house. Mary remains at home. Faced with Elise's change of heart, the servant girl cries out for a miracle.

Chapter title: The fruitfulness of suffering in Jesus' discourse near Elise's house in Bet-Çur.

Date of vision: Thursday, July 5, 1945.

Calendar: Friday, April 7, 28 (Nissan 25, 3788)

Location (map): Bet-Çur

Cycle: Apostolate in Judea

Summary: The people of Bet-Çur learn that Elise has recovered from her illness, and they wish to see her, both out of friendship and curiosity. Jesus gently restrains them, as only he can, and then goes to see his Mother and Elise. The two women are both in the garden, but it is now neglected, and the Virgin promises that they will restore it to its former glory. So she gets to stay with her friend for a few days. Christ then goes to see the shepherds and tells them that he wishes to have them as disciples, but to do so, they must leave their present jobs. Since it wouldn't be right to leave everything just like that, they agree with Jesus to continue caring for their flocks until their employer knows how to take on new shepherds.

With this point settled, the Lord gives a discourse near Elise's house, in a place where she can hear him without being seen by the villagers. After discreetly mentioning Marziam's orphan sorrow and Elise's sad widowhood, He promises to call many men to follow Him, for He is no longer sufficient to meet the infinite needs of His brothers, and He must console them by bringing them the exact knowledge of God. He thus invites souls to come, through his disciples and apostles, to find comfort in their suffering.

Jesus then evokes the Book of Ruth and the grief of Naomi, who had lost her husband and children. Ruth, her daughter-in-law, refused to leave her, because she understood that her pain as a young widow was less burdensome than Naomi's pain at the loss of her children. Suffering is thus a cross, "but it is also a wing", and the Redeemer particularly insists on the value of charity, on stepping out of oneself, out of one's darkness, out of one's selfishness. He encourages us to reach out to the orphans, the sick, the isolated, and to forget ourselves in the midst of those who are forgotten. In this way, those who had nothing left will one day be able to bless the Lord thanks to these people who will have brought them out of their misfortune, their loneliness and their suffering.

Jesus concludes with the consequences of kindness, which can "provoke such a tide of love". He concludes his speech there, while Elise weeps, and he lets no one into the garden where she is.

Chapter contents: 209.1: Elise's healing arouses the curiosity of the people of Bet-Çur. 209.2: Respect Elise's convalescence. 209.3: Jesus enters Elise's garden. Mary will stay with her for a few days. 209.4: Jesus invites the three shepherds to follow him. 209.5: God alone relieves suffering. Come to me through my disciples. 209.6: Meditate on Naomi's pain and Ruth's love. 209.7: Pain is a cross and a wing. The unsuspected effects of kindness. Jesus protects Elise.

Chapter title: On the road to Hebron, the worries of Judas Iscariot.

Date of vision: Friday, June 6, 1945.

Calendar: Sunday, April 9, 28 (27 Nissan 3788)

Location (map): Towards Hebron

Cycle: Apostolate in Judea

Summary: Judas is in a bad mood and asks Mary of Alphaeus and Mary Salome if they intend to visit all the places in Israel. The man is impatient, as he wants to go to Keroth with the Master, and is already annoyed at the idea that Mary, who is currently in Bet-Çur, is not accompanying them. He laments the fact that Jesus no longer performs brilliant miracles, and feels that they are doing a poor job of it. Even Andrew rebukes him, pointing out that it is he who has imposed himself on the group of apostles without Jesus choosing him. Thomas then jokingly intervenes, but when Judas reproaches the Master for having done nothing, his colleague reminds him of the healing of the lepers - an episode during which the Iscariot was not present, through his own fault. Thomas then gives the young man some wise advice, encouraging him to change, not to be disappointed, not to take himself for the Master's master.

The conversation returns to Israel's holy places, and as Judas grumbles that these are the usual legends, Thomas points out that his friend wanted to go to Endor, which doesn't shine for its purity, whereas women go where there are saints. The subject of John of Endor is brought up, and their stormy conversation continues, Judas criticizing about everything. Jesus supposedly doesn't talk to them anymore, he's too busy with Marziam, he chooses the wrong disciples with people like old John... and everything is a pretext for grumbling. Soon, Marie d'Alphée and Marie-Salomé slip away with André. Thomas and Judas don't even notice the silent arrival of Jesus, who intervenes at just the right moment and calms Judas' worries. The Master assures them that his Mother will indeed come to Kerioth, and justifies all his choices, including leaving Simon the Zealot with the Virgin, because he is old, knows how to keep quiet, and respects Elise's pain. Judas was therefore worried about chimeras, and he is struck by Christ's kindness and the way he reassures him. Finally, the conversation turns lighter, with references to the historical sites of Israel and the way Simon-Pierre behaved in class... Which makes everyone laugh.

Chapter contents: 210.1: Judas would like Jesus to perform more miracles. 210.2: The women and Andrew are shocked, Thomas intervenes. 210.3: He lectures Judas. 210.4: Who is jealous of the place taken by Marziam and John of En-Dor. 210.5: Jesus explains his decision to Judas. 210.6: He almost brings him to tears. 210.7: Peter admires Jesus' pedagogy.

Chapter title: Return to Hebron. Discourses and miracles in the garden of John the Baptist's house.

Date of vision: Saturday, July 7, 1945.

Calendar: Sunday April 9, 28 (27 Nissan 3788)

Location (map): In Hebron

Cycle: Apostolate in Judea

Summary: Hebron has changed since the previous year, as the village has heard about Jesus' miracles and its inhabitants have begun to reflect. After a brief mention of Doras, Jeanne de Kouza, and Sciammai, Aglaé's former teacher, the apostolic group learns that the head of the synagogue wants to receive the Master. Jesus agrees, and they head for John the Baptist's house. Christ assures the priest that he holds no grudge against him for having driven him out last year, for he was then an Unknown, and moreover thought he was doing the right thing. Since then, John the Forerunner had encouraged them to go to the Lord, and now they want to, especially as they have sick people among them. So Jesus tells them to gather them together, and when they do, he heals them. Then he begins to speak.

The main subject of his speech is the servants of God. Many now have idols in their lives, and this is why evil can flourish, as with Herod imprisoning John the Baptist and soon putting him to death. These idolatrous servants no longer know how to speak God's language, including the priests in the Temple. Instead, they want to remain in their own darkness and let themselves be bought by power and cursed money. But as Christ teaches, there is no money to buy consciences. On the contrary, there is always time to put oneself at God's service, and Jesus invites the people of Hebron not to disappoint their John, but to prepare for Redemption. What's more, the Savior promises that he holds no grudge for the poor reception he received a few months ago. Anyone can follow him, all he asks is good will.

Then comes a final miracle, following the arrival of a crippled man who looks like an S. He heals him, then Jesus goes to the house of the synagogue ruler, and the vision ends.

Chapter contents: 211.1: Within a year, the opinion of the people of Hebron had changed. They have been evangelized. 211.2: The Baptist's house is in a terrible state. 211.3: The head of the synagogue apologizes for the past. The Baptist pleaded for Jesus.
