Basic information about Sister Josefa Sister Josefa Menendez was born on February 4, 1890 in Madrid, Spain. Being of Spanish descent, she initially sought to enter the religious life in Spain, but God’s Providence lead her elsewhere and eventually, after many trials, she entered a French Convent and became a Sister of the Society of the Sacred Heart in 1920 at age 29. But the story of her spiritual journey describes the action of God and of His love in a heart that is wholly given. The Lord very quickly and very frequently manifests Himself to Josefa and her associates with His Work of Love. With Him she has constantly to struggle against the forces of evil. Besides being a witness of His infinite love to the world, she will also witness His redeeming “passion”. During her earthly life she had received visions from the Lord that spoke of His unfathomable love for the world. Everything in Josefa's life is grace giving and profoundly moving. Her writings and her life confirm each other, as evidence that all that took place in her was divine in origin. Even the most extraordinary happenings have an aim and significance. There are no useless details, no record of revelations that do not bring out in clearer light and force some dogmatic truth, giving us deeper insight into the Heart of Our Lord, His love, the value of souls, the happiness of heaven, the irreparable loss of the damned. Jesus to Josefa “I want to use you to make people know still more the mercy and love of my Heart .. Help me in this work of love!”
My intention with this blog is to not only post her relationship with Jesus but also the beautiful prayers He and His Mother gave her to reflect on. She also was attacked by the devil on many occasions and she was taken to hell
