How God led me

Born in Switzerland, I grew up in a well-protected Catholic family with two brothers. I had a beautiful, carefree childhood. My mother was very devout and authentic. She had a close relationship with the Mother of God and her motto was, “Through Mary to Jesus.” I also felt very drawn to the Mother of God and to Jesus.

Writing was important to me even as a girl. On blank pages, I could give expression to my thoughts, feelings, desires and experiences, and in doing so, process many things. At that time, I wrote to Jesus that I wanted to always be faithful to Him.

But as is unfortunately the case in some instances, I had increasingly distanced myself from God, but not intentionally or necessarily knowingly. I entered my teenage years and friends, education, acquaintances, travel, career, etc., took center stage. Suddenly, I could no longer understand the Church and the commandments and I made compromises that led me further and further away from the faith.

Due to a serious illness at the age of 35, I sought help in different ways. Fortunately, through several charismatic priests, I was slowly able to recognize that I had gone down the wrong path. My conversion, or return to God, was anything but easy. I was tested for years through suffering, abandonment and sadness. But I knew that there was only one way for me to find my way back to God. I held fast, only through his immeasurable grace, to what I was striving for, namely to be united with God and to live according to his commandments, to be completely in his will.

However, great suffering was not spared me. My wonderful son Thomas, who was 24 years old, died suddenly of meningitis. I will never forget the moment when I saw Thomas lying motionless in front of me in the hospital.

But it was precisely during this most difficult, saddest and most hopeless time that Jesus came to me. The day before Thomas' funeral, I asked Jesus to give me a Bible passage. So, I opened the Bible to the following verse:

Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable

things you do not know.

Jeremiah 33:3

In grief, I said, “Lord, what are you saying to me? I have lost my son and You are telling me that You will reveal great and unsearchable things to me?”

The words I then heard in my heart were so powerful that even after so many years, I have never forgotten them. Every word is engraved in my heart.

After this happened, I simply knew that it was Jesus who had spoken to me. It was like a huge gate suddenly flinging open and I entered a new life. The Lord gave me the grace to understand that through his infinite love, He had called my son Thomas to Himself. He gave me the strength to immediately transform my overwhelming sadness into absolute gratitude. He also gave me the realization that my son, Thomas, is at my side and says to me, “Mommy, don't be sad. I love you. You are the best mother in the whole world; I am so happy.”

In the same year after Thomas passed away, heaven gave me a blessed husband. Our marriage was sealed in Fatima and we are able to lead a wonderful married life, united in the same Holy Spirit. In his boundless love, the Lord has given me two delightful sons and a lovely daughter-in-law with four grand- children, all of whom live in the USA. My biological daughter, Miriam, who came to the faith a few years after her brother's death, has given me a wonderful son-in-law with four grandchildren through their marriage.

Since 2020, Jesus has given me the grace to receive heavenly messages in my heart and to write them down. Out of gratitude, I would like to give testimony of God's infinite love with this book. It is intended to encourage you, dear readers, to trust in Him in every situation and to open the door of your heart so that He can enter and work in each of you without hindrance. The words that will touch you, dear readers, will be words addressed directly to you. For love transcends all boundaries and cannot be stopped.

I love you infinitely, my child. I thank you for your work on the book. It will touch many souls, you can hardly imagine. My loving words will go out into the world. Through the words I dictate to you, many people will return to my heart. It is like a smile that goes around the world, a smile that comes from me, an invitation to seek and accept my mercy.

Jesus
