All
we know of The Ecstatic of Tours is that she was a French nun. In 1882 using her
nom de plume, her spiritual director published her revelations in a book called
La Veille de la Victoire du Christ (On the eve of the Victory of Christ)
“Before
the war breaks out again, food will be scarce and expensive. There will be
little work for the workers, and fathers will hear their children crying for
food. There will be earthquakes and signs in the sun. Toward the end, darkness
will cover the earth….” 1
“When
everyone believes that peace is ensured, when everyone least expects it, the
great happening will begin. Revolution will break out in Italy almost at the
same time as in France. For some time the Church will be without a Pope.
England too will have much to suffer….” 2

“The
revolution will spread to every French town. Wholesale slaughter will take
place. This revolution will last only a few months but it will be frightful; blood
will flow everywhere because the malice of the wicked will reach its highest
pitch. Victims will be innumerable. Paris will look like a slaughterhouse.
Persecutions against the church will be ever greater but will not last long.
All churches will be closed but only a few for a very short time in those towns
where disturbances are the least. Priests will have to go into hiding, The
wicked will try to obliterate anything religions, but they will not have enough
time…” 4
“Many
bishops and priests will be put to death. The archbishop of Paris will be
murdered. Many other priests in Paris will have their throats cut because they
will not have time to find a hiding place….” 5
“The
wicked will be the masters for one year and a few months. In those days France
will receive no human assistance. She will be alone and helpless. At this
juncture, the French people will turn back to God and implore the sacred heart
of Jesus and Mary Immaculate. They will at last confess that He alone can
restore peace and happiness….” 6
“The
French people will ask for the good king. He who was chosen by God. He will
come; this saviour whom God has spared for France. This king who is not wanted
now because he is dear to Gods Heart. He will ascend to the throne. He will
free the church and reassert the Popes rights…” 7
“The
council will meet again after the victory. But this time men will be obliged to
obey. There will be only one flock and one shepherd. All men will acknowledge
the pope as the universal father, king of all peoples. Thus mankind will be
regenerated….” 8
