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’d like to thank Léandre Lachance for his “Yes” to Jesus, by which He accomplishes wonders in this suffering world. I give thanks for meeting Léandre and being able to be part of the Chosen Ones.
It’s been three years since I’ve had the grace to live a retreat given by Léandre and this one really pacified me, as a result of difficult events that I had lived. It confirmed to me the loving presence of Jesus throughout my life, His faithfulness, His tenderness, His mercy … It strengthened my confidence, because Jesus truly cares about all the details of our life.
Under the protection of Mary, I renewed my “Yes” – a response that I want to be whole, unconditional and irrevocable, even though day by day I observe my littleness and my profound impotence which I never cease to give back to the mercy of the Father.
Because Love loves us, we become Love.
This thought, in the context of current events, makes me think and reminds me of an old story, the story of the three little pigs. It made sense when I was a child, but now I see it differently. Here it is: “Once upon a time, three little pigs had decided to leave their homes, and build a house for themselves. The first built a straw house, the second a wooden house and the third a brick house.”
We are like these houses. Sometimes made of straw or wood, we are demolished at the first unfortunate event we are confronted with, because our foundation is not strong enough and we easily crush.
I see the brick house as a solid temple, built day by day, shaped from the Word of God and His love, built for the days of storm and tribulations.
We are this temple, which we must fill with love, because God lives there. I want to shape my temple in order to be able to live the events that will come to me, so that they produce the fruits that God wants for me.
Thank you for feeding me every day with your messages, so that I am stronger and ready for the stormy days.

Yesterday, an unpleasant adventure could have demoralized me badly: I lost, stupidly, the manuscript that I am writing, which is important and where Jesus has a great place. I almost cracked thinking about the huge work that it would require from me, even if a good part of it is written on paper.
Just when this event happened, the call of a girl whose mother – a close friend – has just passed away, allowed me to get out of my comfort zone, to put things into perspective. Then, last night, I prayed to the Lord to help me. And this morning, thank you very much! Reading your message of the day puts me back in the Lord’s trajectory, allows me to believe that this sign has a meaning, that everything comes from Him, that He does not abandon me and will always keep me. It is precisely this message that I want to convey in my future book: how, through the four successive mourning I experienced in my childhood and youth, Jesus saved me, beyond extreme suffering and sorrow, also by using a human hand through therapy.
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.
I have been serving the Lord for 8 years already; as you say, you just have to taste love to be happy. As for myself, I tasted it and it’s delicious!
I had a complex illness for 25 years and my parents could not afford to take care of me. I went through many hospitals, to no avail. It was Christ who healed me, miraculously, by an operation that left no scar and which was free of charge. Blessed be the name of Jesus Christ! Nothing can separate us from the love of God.
The “Thought of the Day” nourishes me every day. It’s amazing how this can help me to live in faith daily! In every situation, by reaching Mary’s hand, I learn the benefits of letting go, abandoning myself to the Holy Spirit, living fraternal communion, forgiveness, humility, acceptance of every situation and moment for the Glory of God. Thank you, Lord!
I would like to thank you for all the work you accomplish to convey the “Thoughts of the Day” daily.
It is incredible: at night and in the morning, when I wake up, I sometimes “ruminate” some of my husband’s reactions, but when I go to read the Thought quickly, my state of mind is transformed, going from rumination to praise, rather than to remain negative. The messages you give us always manifest themselves at the right time and help me deeply. They carry me and encourage me to follow the right direction.
A few days prior to my hospitalization, B. proposed a book exchange and she gave me volume 3 of the trilogy “For the Happiness of My Own, My Chosen Ones. Jesus “.
Bedridden at the hospital, I discovered the calls of a God of Love. He invites me to enter in a state of surrender and humility, to recognize my frailties and my powerlessness. He invites me to hand it all over to Him through my successive consents in all circumstances, to open my heart to His Love, to become Love and to be able to give Love to others.
I experienced great peace and serenity through my health issues. I understood how all sufferings offered in communion to those of Christ are a source of grace for ourselves and those who suffer in our immediate environment. They contribute to the edification on Earth of the new civilization of Love evoked by John Paul II. I experience how God respects my freedom and my choices and how much He needs my “Yes” to be in position to act. If, like Mary, my “Yes” is complete, then I meet a God who speaks to me and who acts today! A God who does what He says, to whom I can give everything – my failures as well as my successes – and who, in the invisible dimension, reaches the hearts of many.
In the past, I was convinced that the generous actions on my part granted me a status as a committed and responsible Christian. I now experience how important it is to place God at the top of priorities, to live increasingly in a condition of deep intimacy with Him, to meet Him through reconciliation, through the Eucharist and through prayer. In that manner, I receive His Love which transforms me and I allow God to act through me for the happiness of those around me.
You seek a better and more fulfilling life? Then, take a leap of faith in trust! Go forward and greet He who knocks at your door to fulfill you with His love.
