5/14/25 - Today we examine the extraordinary life of Servant of God Josefa Menendez (1890–1923), a Spanish-born nun of the Society of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Though virtually unknown during her lifetime, Josefa was chosen by Christ to be a messenger of His infinite love and mercy, especially for souls trapped in despair. Through interior locutions and mystical experiences, Josefa received intimate revelations from Jesus, who spoke to her heart about the sufferings of His Passion and His burning desire for souls to return to Him. These messages—later compiled in the spiritual classic The Way of Divine Love—present a moving call to reparation, humility, and trust in divine mercy.
We’ll discuss Josefa’s early life, her hidden vocation, and the spiritual battles she endured, including intense temptations and physical suffering. Despite her obscurity and fragile health, she offered everything for the salvation of souls, uniting herself with Christ’s redemptive love.
