✞ Death and Purgatory of Luisa’s parents.
At about six-thirty in the morning, while I was praying The Angelus and making my morning offerings, suddenly, the angel appeared. He said, “Our Lord Jesus sent me to tell you to come with me. He wants to see you.”
Immediately, I was thinking, ‘Oh no, what have I done now? I thought maybe I misunderstood something our Lord said to me before.’
Suddenly, the angel and I found ourselves in a Heavenly Garden. Our Lord Jesus was waiting there, and He greeted us with a beautiful big smile on His face.
With open arms, He said, “Come here, My beautiful child Valentina!”
Feeling relieved I thought, ‘Oh, He is in a good mood, so obviously, I hadn’t done anything wrong.’
As I approached our Lord Jesus, He hugged me and asked me, “Will you marry Me?”
I was completely shocked at the question that I did not know how to answer Him. I did not say yes or no.
He said, “I want you to be My bride.”
Then He said, “Just a minute. I’ll be back,”
He went a little further up, and then I didn’t see Him. The next minute He came back very quickly with my mother. I was so happy to see her.
Then Jesus said, “I will let the two of you talk.” Mum had a big smile on her face.
Our Lord did not leave, but He moved a couple of metres away from us and casually sat down on the beautiful green grass. He looked very young – about thirty years old and had the most beautiful blonde-brown wavy hair.
I said, “Seriously, Mum, did you know our Lord Jesus just asked me to marry Him!”
My mother was very happy and excited.
“Did you say yes? Say yes!” she said, and she kept repeating this.
“Mum! But what will the rest of the world think of all of that, the Lord Jesus asking me to marry Him?”
She was smiling, “Say yes.”
My mum and I stood there while our Lord sat on the grass.
After a few minutes, I found myself back in my room, still thinking about what had just happened. I thought, ‘But what would Blessed Mother say?’
Then the angel smiled and said, “Valentina, you should be very happy. You are very privileged that our Lord Jesus asks you to marry Him while you are still alive on earth.”
I felt a little embarrassed and even shy. It took me about a week to get over this, as this was a complete shock.
When we enter Heaven, we are all Brides of our Lord Jesus. For those who do not understand, this is spiritual.
Our Lord told me often, “I love you so much. You know you are My privileged daughter. You suffer for Me, and you have the right to rejoice in Me.”
I said, “Lord, what would people say?”
He said, “Tell them to come close to Me, and when they are one with Me, I will do the same for them.”
