The Thoughts that are offered to us every day are like a breath in the sails of the boat that we are. Every navigator knows that you must know how to handle the wind, in order to sail towards the intended destination, without capsizing. Sometimes the sea is like a millpond and the wind very light, at other times, the swell amplifies the acceleration in a dizzying fashion, dangerous even … then, it takes precise fingering to accompany the boat. At other times, the winds are changing and you have to stay the course and trust. This is how I have been reading the “Thought of the Day” for several years. Even when the sea is a millpond, it is there, as a sure bond that keeps us on course. Thank you, Lord, for accompanying us.

Giving All to the Lord
Thank you for these “Thoughts of the Day” which so often correspond to what I live. For the last two weeks, we were very worried for our eight-year-old grandson, who was hospitalized and had surgery for a cerebral hemorrhage. The Lord, through the Thoughts, told me to surrender everything to Him, and today, now that the drain is removed from the little one, he is doing better and has been able to walk a little bit. The “Thought of the Day” speaks of praise and wonder, that’s exactly what I live! Thank you and the Lord who is so present.
He does what He says
I discovered the books of the trilogy “For the Happiness of My One, My Chosen Ones. Jesus” more than six years ago. I read the three volumes from cover to cover. Since then, I read the lines again in accordance with the inspiration of the moment. And truly, the “Thought of the Day” really helps me to continue meditating all that Jesus wants to teach us through these writings.
For more than six years, I have been sustaining myself daily with the Most Holy Word of God and the volumes of the Chosen Ones. And Our Lord Jesus is wonderful! Yes, He transforms me progressively. He does everything He says. These books are a real treasure that never runs out.
Through these messages read over and over in a spirit of faith, graces always await us. We can feel a great peace when we’re reading! I say: “read in faith,” when I say: “Jesus speaks to me personally and this “Yes” that he asks of me is of critical importance. This total and unconditional “Yes” really is a trigger of graces.”
In the Bible, the Lord never ceases to tell us about the importance of doing His holy will. And the “Yes” that Jesus asks of us with all His love in His messages invites us to fulfill this will. He knows the good that it can bring us, the innumerable graces we can receive, with all His children on Earth.
A big thank you to our Father of love, His divine Son Jesus and all those who work for His work of love.
The C.L.S. transform me
After reading the book “For the Happiness of My Own, My Chosen Ones. Jesus”, I was surprised by the simplicity of Jesus’ messages. It is impossible to put them into practice without His help, since we are overwhelmed by the spirit of the world. I partnered with others who share my faith, to form a C.L.S. (Community of Love and Sharing). We consulted the second book to know the rules. We call on the Holy Spirit at the beginning of every meeting. We discuss freely, without fear of being judged by one another. All of this is an excellent support for our transformation. There are significant changes for me: acceptance of people as they are without wanting to change them, recognition of my smallness, a larger place for humility. I better understand what Jesus wants from me and for others.
Embraced by His Love
The reading of the books “For the Happiness of My Own, My Chosen Ones. Jesus” permitted me to give my “Yes” to Jesus. I felt wrapped up in His love. I recognized my mission, the one He expected me to accept: praying.
I was often anxious and since then, every time I sense this condition, I say to Jesus: “I accept my anguish and I offer it to You. You love me and I love You. I become Love.” I then find peace inside me. I’m also praying for other discomforts I experience. I offer the people who have the same sufferings to Jesus.

Nourishment for seminarians
Testimony of a priest:
After a meditation with the seminarians prophesying under our supervision about some of the “Thoughts of the Day”, two of them shared with me that they had wanted to embrace a path other than the priesthood, but that these words of meditation had prevented them to do so. I believe these messages nourish the faith of our educational institution in a special way. Share this with yours and support us in your prayers. We do the same!
Directly from Jesus
The “Thought of the Day” is a great comfort and always arrives in a timely fashion. Even if I have the three volumes of “For the Happiness of My Own, My Chosen Ones. Jesus”, the fact that I receive a Thought every day, which is chosen at random by someone other than me, gives me the impression that it comes directly from Jesus Himself. Most of the time, I keep it for more than a day, having a hard time getting rid of it, precisely because I was touched.
Recovering from the ordeal
I’m pleased to share this testimony with you:
L. and I, childhood sweethearts, found each other again 39 years later and we got engaged. We shared the same faith. God was present in our daily lives. In the garden, there was a cave with a statue of the Virgin where we would pray regularly.
For two years, L. struggled against three successive cancers with admirable courage, faith and dignity. She passed away.
God gives me the grace to overcome this terrible ordeal that I accept. My two-year struggle alongside L. took a great toll on my health and I had a nervous breakdown. My family in Mauritius helped me to heal and recover from it. There, someone told me about a retreat from Léandre Lachance and I was offered to follow it.
Weakened, I did not even know if I could attend it until the end. My fears were quickly dispelled at the first words of the host: “Leave your reason and your intellect in the cloakroom. Listen to your heart during these three days. If you are here today, it is because you have been chosen and called.” It was a revelation to discover these simple, direct and clear messages, transmitted not by an ordained person as it happens usually, but by a layman, a man from the corporate world who experienced trials and joys … in short, someone who’s a bit like me!
I was deeply touched in my heart. This retreat was followed by a thorough reading of the three volumes of the trilogy “For the Happiness of My Own, My Chosen Ones. Jesus”. I began to understand the Love of the Father, to receive Him totally, unconditionally, irrevocably, recognizing on the other hand our smallness, our weakness and our powerlessness. I understood the need for purification through the sacrament of reconciliation and the union of our sufferings with those of Jesus.
From there, things have changed in me. I became the beneficiary of exceptional graces and blessings which permitted me to welcome this great trial, but also to move towards my reconstruction and the strengthening of my faith. Reading these books has transformed my life. In a new language, we discover the Love God has for us and what He expects of us.
Jesus does wonders
Feedback on a retreat organized along the line of the spirituality of the Chosen Ones of Jesus.
I realize with amazement how different each retreat is, both in relation with the people who are present and at the level of the exchanges and behaviors throughout the day. On a total of 18 registered people, 15 attended. It was a very nice retreat. The Lord is simply great!
The first night, an elderly couple was present. The man, ill and suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, could not come back, but his wife shared that it has been three years since they both wanted to attend this retreat. Every time, they had been prevented from doing so. This time, although she had always cared for her husband and never left him alone, he told her to participate in the retreat despite his absence. This gave her tremendous relief, she said; she needed this new inner freedom.
A 20-year-old woman, whose faith was limited to believing that God exists, remained silent during the retreat. On Sunday, during a period of sharing, she spoke to tell us how much it felt good to perceive and feel herself as being so small. She thought she was “special” and finally realized that we are all that way in the eyes of God!
A lady spent most of the time between lectures before the Blessed Sacrament. She later explained to me what she experienced during the retreat: when she thought that everything had always gone well during her childhood, Jesus allowed her to see all the burden she carried in herself. Another lady, who has had significant problems with her shoulder and right arm for three years, didn’t feel any pain during the retreat.
These are the wonders that Jesus continues to operate. And for my part, even if this retreat was the 22nd, I still live it as if it was the first!
A great help
I’ve been married for thirty-two years and some time ago my husband told me he wanted to divorce and that he had met someone. I didn’t expect this and it was terrible. Reading the books of the trilogy “For the Happiness of My Own, My Chosen Ones. Jesus” was of great assistance to me, I saw that God loves me.
Since then, my husband said he was putting the divorce option on hold. I live in expectation and in uncertainty. I keep hope that God can restore our union, for He alone can do it, I have no power over the situation and I accept His will, no matter what the outcome. I even offer Him the weakness of my “Yes”, and I ask Him to carry them for me.
