My husband and I have just followed the retreat of the Chosen Ones in Mauritius. During these few days of retreat, we experienced something extraordinary.
I had a very beautiful childhood, surrounded by a united family and we went to mass every Sunday. Upon becoming an adult, my mother told me that I was not obliged to do so and the decision was mine, if I did not want to participate. After a few months, I distanced myself from the Church and began to doubt.
I remained in doubt for several years, but one day, as I was asking myself questions, my mother-in-law, a committed Christian, was there to help me. Then I went to Mass with my husband and I rediscovered the Catholic faith; we began to pray together. However, our prayers did not come from the depths of our hearts. So, we decided to deepen our faith and, for us, the best way to do that was a retreat. But which one to choose? My mother-in-law talked to me about the retreat of the Chosen Ones and we decided to register. We were skeptic before we started, but right from the start, I felt a particular interest arise in me. The more the videos passed, the more I felt peaceful; the messages and testimonies touched me.
We were later invited to kneel before the tabernacle and ask a question to the Lord. Mine was: “How can I give my “Yes” and let go?” On the last day, just before Mass, we took a small paper in an envelope, believing it to be a message from God to us. On my paper, it was written: “The essential is resolved in the invisible.” I did not understand what that meant and I asked the Lord to explain it. After the Mass, the last lecture was on “the invisible.” I felt an extraordinary sensation, because I did not think that the Lord would answer me so quickly, but He did! I immediately understood that the answer to my question was to ask the other people who were present to pray for us. Indeed, we have dreamed for a few years of having a child, without success. I finally understood that our combined prayers would help us!
We have an appointment with a priest tomorrow and we will receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation to begin our journey together with a pure heart. Thank you for creating this retreat that has changed our lives. Thank you also for keeping us in your prayers, you are in ours!

I write you with great joy because for, the last two months, I have been feeling the voice of God through every one of the “Thoughts of the Day”, as an answer for my ministry, my daily life, my relationships, my worries and my troubles. As I read each new thought, I am moved with love, animated with the feeling of belonging to someone who relies on me, who observes me and watches over each of my days. I assure you that it encourages me to love and to pray abundantly. Thank you for that and may the good Lord continue to fill you with His graces!
2B_01: My child, keep on praising and giving thanks in order to be more and more in jubilation, even through the worst tribulations. It is by receiving the Love that frequently comes down from Heaven that you become ‘Love’. Open your heart and arms even wider to welcome more of that Love, for you are madly loved. Yes, I love you. Yes, my little one, I love you.
Father, I am small and weak, but I know that nothing is impossible to God. I pronounce my total, unconditional, irrevocable, “Yes” forever. With Jesus, Mary and the Holy Spirit in the divine will, I am sure to be able to get through the obstacles, as Theresa of Avila did, to build the monasteries and reform the Church of Jesus. The infinite love of God manifests itself through our weakness. When Love loves me, I become Love. “Thank you, my Beloved, You live in me and I live in You.”
I take message number 8 in my prayer. “Do not seek Me at the level of your head or your reason, I am at the level of your heart (yes, yes, yes, Father). There are three main Yes to give Me (yes, yes, yes, Father): yes to Smallness (yes, yes, yes, Father); yes to Love (yes, yes, yes, Father); yes to Graces (yes, yes, yes, Father).
Thank you Father to come to the rescue of the runt that I am. I tell you again: yes to Smallness (yes, yes, yes, Father); yes to Love (yes, yes, yes, Father); yes to Graces (yes, yes, yes, Father).
I am available. I love You. Amen.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the “Thoughts of the Day” broadcast throughout the year! They’re like a thousand puffs of oxygen in my life, in our lives! Thank you Lord for those people whom You choose, to transmit us these wonderful messages and to fill us with Your love!
3B_28: My child, when the Father’s Love is well integrated in you, it allows you to live in jubilation, even in the midst of tribulations. What makes your happiness is what is within you and not what is outside of you. It is by accepting My Love that you will discover its richness more fully.
I would like to bear witness to the transformation that has operated in my husband and myself following the reading of the books “For the Happiness of My Own, My Chosen Ones. Jesus”.
I discovered these books through another volume. Then I went on the website of the Foundation of the Chosen Ones (Fondation des Choisis de Jésus). I can tell you that everything has changed in our marriage! All the graces received are wonderful! Our faith is getting stronger and stronger. Thank you, Jesus for these wonderful books!

From a very young age, being a very sensitive and logical person, I asked myself many existential questions. I sought happiness in pleasure, traveling, astrology, easy living, etc. Fear prevented me from getting involved in a marriage project. I read books that were supposed to give me recipes of happiness, but I was still dissatisfied and some readings got me more confused than anything else.
At the age of 30, I experienced a weekend of Cursillo and this experience convinced me about the existence of God. In the following days, I read the entire New Testament and found many answers. Then I met my husband and I finally said, “Here, I found happiness.” But our relationship did not bring me happiness.
Through the demands and joys of my work as a teacher and my family life, I continued to seek happiness. The love of my children and my union to God in prayer, Sunday Mass, my weekly meetings within the Cursillo movement and the weekends of healing helped me to pursue my journey with a certain sense of peace, with love and joy.
Then, in the year 2000, I obtained a copy of Léandre Lachance’s book: “For the Happiness of My Own, My Chosen Ones. Jesus.” From the first pages, I knew that these writings responded to my deep desires and would lead me to greater happiness. To learn that I could live in jubilation, even through the tribulations of my life, gave me lots of hope.
That’s why, every day, I nourish myself with the “Thought of the Day” and I discover more and more that happiness is to accept that I am a fragile creature, small and weak, but especially that I’m loved by God. I can trust Him because He can do great things in me and through me.
The important thing is my relationship with God. That’s why I have to offer myself more and more time to be in intimacy with Him. The best way is through Eucharistic adoration. For about three years, I have had the opportunity to do an hour of worship every Friday and I derive great benefits from it.

1A_10: Come into My arms, My child! I want to hold you closer to My Heart so that My Heart may come into yours. It is truly in the depths of your being that our hearts are able to meet.
The day before yesterday, I was sad. I was beginning to mourn and sought God everywhere, wondering where He could be and listening to the inner voice telling me that I was not interesting to anyone and that I was doomed to loneliness, to a failed life. Then I entered a church I didn’t know in Paris. I went to visit it, but in fact I was called: “Even if the road seems empty, long and tedious, it leads you to enter into yourself. Don’t close that door. One day or another, you will find God in yourself, you will discover His Truth. He will give you His Life. For He is the Way, the Truth, the Life.” I was grasped by a presence of Love, of strength and above all of peace. I don’t know how to pray, but I asked: “Master, where do you live?” I didn’t get an immediate answer. I looked at the statues in the church at length and I went out, but my heart was filled with great consolation.
Today, I discover the luminous words of the website of the Chosen Ones that I didn’t know! These words echo those I received in my heart: “You are so small, but you’re precious to me and I love you, I love you with eternal Love”.
I know my vocation: I’m small, very small; I am loved by an eternal Love which will last. I have value in the eyes of the Lord and His eyes are fixed upon me. I’m not alone, I’m known and loved. There was this visit of a church in Paris and then I was taken to the Chosen Ones … I’m now invited to unit through prayer with all the little Chosen Ones.
Merci Seigneur, gloire et louange à Toi éternellement.
