The Green booklet begins...

To all who may be called to the community of the Little sisters of Jesus because of Brother Charles of Jesus

Little Sister,

This is my will and testament

1940-1942 Talks all over France1940-1942 Talks all over France

This is my will and testament:

Everything I have written up until now is inspired entirely by Brother Charles of Jesus. It is his testament that I have passed on to you. It is not mine. What follows is mine. I alone am responsible. The glory belongs to God for whatever is good in what I have said, and for whatever is wrong only I am to blame.

I have put all my heart into this work, and I am passing it on to you just as it is, in a simple clumsy way, as a mother who wants to pass on message to her daughters.

You will receive the little infant Jesus of the Manger
from the Virgin Mary his Mother


This will be the crowning point.
