Prayer dictated by Jesus to Marcel Van:
Lord Jesus,
Have compassion on France,
Deign to embrace her in your love
And show her all your tenderness.
Make sure that, filled with love for you,
She helps to make you loved
By all the nations of the earth.
O love of Jesus,
Here we make a commitment
To remain faithful to you forever and To
Work with a fiery heart
To spread your kingdom
Throughout the universe.
Amen.
Before teaching this prayer to Marcel Van, Jesus told him: “Little child of my Love, listen, I am going to dictate a prayer to you, and this prayer, I want the French to recite it to me. “
After teaching him this prayer, Jesus added: “O my child, tell the French that this prayer is the very one I want to hear from them. It came out of my heart burning with love and I want the French to be the only ones to recite it. As for you, my child, I want you to recite it too, but you will also recite it in French. “
