Bicentenary

12 November 1860


During these days, Francisco Palau receives the revelation on the Mystery of the Church.

One afternoon I was in a Cathedral waiting the time of the service. The final blessing was to be given as usual, at the end of a Mission. And my spirit was transported before the throne of God: there was a venerable old man there and thousands of angels were ministering to him. One of them came to me, carrying a cloth white as snow, and dressed me with it. He gave me a band of pure gold, a kind of stole. Dressed as I was, the one who was seated on the throne called me, and I stood upon an altar there.

The old man made me a sign and told me to give the blessing in his name. I turned against the altar and saw on the steps a beautiful young girl dressed in glory; her robes white as light; I could see her enwrapped in light, and could only distinguish the outline, because I could not look. Her head was covered with a find veil. I heard a voice coming from God’s throne which said to me: You are a priest of the Most High; bless and the one whom you bless will be my Daughter. In her I am well pleased: give her my blessing.

When the time for the service arrived, as I went up to the pulpit, I heard the Father’s voice say to me: bless my beloved Daughter, and your Daughter. There was a great crowd of people. I did not understand, and was confused about how I could be Father in the Church and of the Church.
