sister mary reported that eighteen days later, while commencing her evening prayer jesus made her to understand that he would give her a prayer of reparation, a "golden dagger" for blasphemy against his holy name. he told her that the devotion he was entrusting to her was to have as its aim not only reparation for blasphemy, but also reparation for the profanation of the holy day of the lord. she invariably declared that these "communications" were neither visions, nor apparitions; that the truths shown her were not exhibited under an eternal form, nor did she physically hear what she was commissioned to relate.
