Here is a small debriefing of our weekend retreat.
We were 25 people present, including three teenagers of 16 and 17 years of age. Those who returned for the second or third time are surprised by the richness of the teaching and certain contents that affect them more than the last time.
During the retreat, four ladies came to me to be heard and to seek advice. They have been suffering greatly, some of them for decades. Accepting suffering and diving in the boat are both hard to achieve and I realized at the end of the retreat that they had managed to take that step!
A man who came back for the second time confessed and asked me if it was normal for him to feel like crying at Mass after confession and at other times, feeling his heart so filled with the Love poured into it by the Father.
As in every retreat, people have told me that they have not confessed for 15 years or more and thanked me for giving them this opportunity. They rediscover this sacrament. I am surprised to see their faces after confession: their eyes sparkled and their facial features were relaxed; one felt the joy which inhabited them. Blessed be the Lord!
Another great thank you for putting all your teachings on DVD. They continue to rejoice those who listen and look at them.

I participated in a retreat where I obtained the first volume of the trilogy “For the Happiness of My Own, My Chosen Ones. Jesus”. I’m now 85 years old and I was attracted to this book because I was in business and very absorbed by it, just like the author who wrote all these messages inspired by the Lord. When I was working, I made a few small prayers of abandonment.
Reading this trilogy, I realize that the questions asked to Jesus are the same as the questions I ask myself. The effects produced by these writings are humanly unimaginable. These volumes have become my bedside books and every day I read three or four pages, it is an imperious need which I can’t do without. I recognize that Jesus has transformed me, although I still have a lot to do with the transparency of Love. He freed me, in such a way that my desire is to love Him ever more and love my neighbor.
I have recently become a Chosen One of Jesus. I wanted to share with you that the penetration of my thought by Jesus, even into the most minimal things of my life, is a fascinating discovery. Yesterday, for example, I confided to Jesus my despair at a situation in which my “enemies” were crushing me. Only three hours later, I received three answers announcing the victory of Jesus. Yesterday’s “Thought of the Day” suited me perfectly.
I’m already part of the work of Mary, the Focolari Movement; but Léandre introduced me to an even deeper intimacy with Jesus. Our founder always taught us to recognize that we are nothing before God… Léandre gave me an immediate key to abandon everything to him and even entrust to Him hideous thoughts, fears and doubts. I believe that it is a new relationship with Jesus that begins.
Thank you for everything!
Thanks to Léandre Lachance for the beautiful retreat that I was able to live recently in Gueberschwihr. Since my return, the CDs are constantly playing and I am immersed in the words of Jesus that go straight to my heart. Thank you for all these messages that always meet our needs of the moment. I share this great happiness with all my friends who, afterwards, ask to subscribe to the “Thought of the Day”.
Jesus performed wonders in me when I gave Him my “Yes”. I’m a living witness of His love. I experienced great suffering, resulting from the death-suicide of my husband and of one of my sons, which occurred later. I suffered from a severe depression that required intensive treatment.
Friends of mine lent me volumes 1 and 2 “For the Happiness of My Own, My Chosen Ones. Jesus”. The Lord took the lead for my healing. Upon reading the first book, I began to experience a great transformation of my whole being. I gave Him my “Yes” in all areas of my life. Jesus is my Savior! I experience a great intimacy with Him. Through His Holy Spirit, He brings to my attention the love of the Father and His great mercy for every one of His children. What joy, what happiness, and what limitless gratitude is it to know God is so close to us! Jesus fills me with His love, His joy of life and His presence even in the smallest detail.

To read the messages of the Chosen Ones is an opportunity to go further in my “Yes”; a confirmation of what I believe; a source of consolation in my solitude; an assurance in a project that is not the province of men, but the province of God; like a kiss of love that says: “I’m here forever”.
Through the message of the day, Jesus teaches me and succeeds in making me admit that I am beautiful in the eyes of God! With the help of my good Angel, I accept this message by practicing trust without necessarily understanding everything, and letting myself be loved by Love.
When I read your answer, I felt peace and absolute calm penetrate my whole body. Since then, I am filled with joy.
Thank you, Jesus, for putting people on our way to help and enlighten us in our struggles. Now, I know, as You do, that the most important thing is the love in our hearts to receive Jesus into the Host and to go forward in a better way. Now, I know that I do as the Church tells us to do. May Jesus watch over you and cover you with His mercy and may Mary, our tender Mother, guard you and protect you under her mantle of love, close to her heart.
I would like to thank you very much for the videos you put at our disposal. I was bedridden for the last few days and I watched three of them. I feel that Jesus is closer to me. It brings me great joy! I very much appreciate the simplicity of your explanations and your pedagogy, the pedagogy of the Holy Spirit, whom you let take center stage.
For example, you say that on Sunday we feel Christian, on Monday we are much less so and so on, and it gets worse. How true and annoying! But you offer us a prayer of the heart that is so true and which keeps us far from the discouragement related to our mediocrity. You explain the process of purification that we will have to pass… It sounds so simple to understand and it suits me better than all sorts of other things that can be read and that are frightening or distressing. I thank you for your prayers, beautiful and simple. They’re so needed! I thank Jesus infinitely for all His sensitivity, His tenderness and of course for His mercy.
I agree with you, when you write: “We believe the Lord wants to reach an increasing number of people, using the modern tools at our disposal, including video retransmission.” I have just benefited from it.
I followed the retreat with Léandre Lachance at Saint-Marc Convent in Guebwiller and I am beginning to feel a transformation inside of me, a heart to heart relationship with Jesus and Mother Mary. Certainly, this is not perfect, but Jesus “holds” me!
I really like the “Thoughts of the Day”, I hurry to open my computer when I wake up to “devour the Word” and try to make it mine throughout the day.
