Mystical Experiences of Sr. Maria Natalia

Excerpts from the book: THE VICTORIOUS QUEEN OF THE WORLD
– The diary of Sr. Maria Natalia of Hungary (1901-1992)
Translated by Stephen A. Foglein  

Most Holy Virgin favored with abundant locutions and extraordinary visions, during several years, Sister Maria Natalia Magdolna (1901-1992), Hungarian nun, born near Pozsony (in present Slovakia), pertaining to the congregation of Sisters of the Good Shepherd of St. Mary Magdalente of Kecskemet.

Her life was full of supernatural graces and an intense communication with God. She died in odor of sanctity at an advanced age

About our salvation

I asked Jesus: “On what does our salvation depend?”  He answered, “Salvation does not depend on this day or yesterday, nor does it depend on a day 40 years ago, but it depends on the last moment!  Therefore you should constantly repent of your sins.  You received salvation because I saved you!  It is not because of your merits!  Only the degree of the glory you will receive in eternity depends on your merits.”  Therefore, there are two things we constantly have to practice.

1.      Repenting our sins

2.      Saying often: My Jesus, I commend my soul into your hands.

One should not be afraid of the Judgment!  Jesus, like a meek lamb, surrounds souls with unspeakable love.  He did not send anyone to Purgatory.  The soul itself goes there, longing to clean itself in order to be able to meet again with Love itself with Whom it had fallen in love eternally.  The proud soul detests this love, it distances itself from it and this by itself is hell. 

Once I cried on Jesus’ shoulder: “Why did you create hell?”  To answer me, Jesus brought me to the judgment of a very sinful soul, whose sins He forgave.  Satan was outraged!  “You are not just!  This soul was mine all his life.”  He shouted to Jesus: “This one committed so many sins, while I committed only one, and You still created hell for me.”

Jesus then with unbounded love told Satan: “Lucifer!  Did you ever ask Me for forgiveness?”  Then Lucifer, seemingly beside himself, shouted: “That never!  That I will never do!”  Then Jesus turned to me, “You see, if he could ask Me for forgiveness only once, hell would cease to exist.”

This is why Jesus asks us to live in constant penance for our sins!  We should meditate on how much He suffered for our sins, in order that we might reach salvation.  We should ask His forgiveness often and love Him for His unfathomable love!

Jesus longs for our love very much; for the love of each of us individually.  “Every soul is a separate unique world,” He told me.  “One cannot replace the other!”  Jesus loves each individual soul individually.  His love for a particular soul is reserved for that soul and it does not resemble the love He has for other souls. 

What Jesus taught about preventing the temptation of the devil

“My child!  If you are in great sorrow and cannot pray; if you are confused about something; if you are hurt; if you feel you are burnt out and you have no strength at all, you just say to Me with confidence and love:  Jesus . . . Jesus.  Then, hearing My name, the angels, the saints and my Immaculate Mother all prostrate themselves before Me and adore Me.  Hell is closed, since hell is also under the power of God: it cannot act; it has to bow before My name.

It is written in Scripture that heaven and earth shall bow before My name.  You see, this is the meaning of it.  Don’t you think the pronunciation of My name is a powerful prayer?

If you cannot do more during the time allocated to prayer, just pronounce My name, and you should do this whenever you take a breath, with love and trust, then you prayed very well and you can gain everything by that.”

This is why we do not have to convert others by force.  If someone cannot be reached, for example a father or mother or children, it is enough if we pray for them.  They will be surrounded with a blessed force field.  All this through Our Virgin Mother!  Because we cannot approach Jesus without His Mother if we want to appear favorably before Him.  A man of pride cannot do that.  A proud man goes on the way of perdition.  Lucifer couldn’t humiliate himself either.  Our Virgin Mother carries all her children in her arms.  She caresses them, gives them all her merits, and makes Jesus overlook their faults. 

If someone wishes to get close to Jesus, then that person should turn to His Mother and should give himself completely to her.  Our Virgin Mother then will surely protect and give that person to Jesus.

Should we be afraid that Mary will overshadow Jesus?

I was devoted to Our Heavenly Mother, but when Jesus appeared, the experience overwhelmed me so much so that I could not think anything else.  I asked Jesus:

“Is it not hurting your Mother, if I love you?”

Jesus smiled, “If you want to cause joy to My Immaculate Mother, then tell Me: I love you!”

“My Jesus, after this I will always tell you I love You to give Your Mother pleasure!”

What is Jesus’ opinion of wicked men?

Not so long ago I watched TV.  On the screen a man sent a dog after people who were escaping, and the dog tore them apart.  I was shaken by this, that in reality one man can cause such great suffering to another and I wished the dog would tear apart the man who roused it to anger against the other.  Then I heard the sad voice of Jesus, “Those who are tortured by another man and die, receive special graces from Me and they will receive from Me undescribable happiness throughout eternity.”

But what happens to him, who committed the evil deed?  “That man is also My child, I died for him too.  And now you are hitting him?  The evil he did pains Me less than that you strike him, the one whom I love so much.  With this blow you hit Me!  I beg you, do not hurt Me.  Rather, pray for him, that he may repent, that he may not have to go to eternal damnation, but become one of Mine.”

Then Jesus showed me how ardently He loves sinners.  He loves me because of them.  This way Jesus covers up our sins by which we are hurting Him.  I would not dare to commit them again, because I would hate to cause Him pain.  I understood that at the Last Judgment, when all will see our repented sins, they will become glittering jewelry, because of the love of Jesus.

What is Jesus’ opinion about our deeds?

I asked Jesus what I should do to please Him.  He answered: “It does not matter what you do, whether you sit or lie down.  You can do anything, even exercise.  The only thing that matters is that you should be always beside Me and love Me!!!  You should never step out of Me.  Tell Me everything, even your thoughts.  Do not stop talking to Me.  The only thing I ask you to watch: not to hurt Me.  I’ll do the rest for you; even the material and spiritual welfare of your family.  If you love Me, you do not have to ask for anything.  You have only one task:  to love Me!  I should like you to understand this eventually.  Everything else will be provided for you, my poor, precious child.”

The other method of repentance Jesus requests

Go often to confession!  I saw that when someone is at confession Jesus opens up His wounds and His Precious Blood flows from the wounds drop by drop while the priest says the prayer of absolution.  He told me, “My child, go to confession!  And say something because I want to shed My Blood again for mankind.  I ask for your repentance.”
