Prières à la Bienheureuse Dina Bélanger, stigmatisée québécoise

Paroles de la Bienheureuse Dina Bélanger

et de Jésus à Dina

"Notre Seigneur, Homme-Dieu, me fit voir Son Cœur adorable, dans l’Hostie Sainte. Son Cœur et l’Hostie étaient parfaitement unis, tellement l’un dans l’autre que je ne puis pas expliquer comment il m’était possible de Les distinguer l’un de l’autre. De l’Hostie émanait une immensité de rayons de lumière. De Son Cœur jaillissait une immensité de flammes, lesquelles s’échappaient comme en torrents pressés. La très Sainte Vierge était là, si près de notre Seigneur qu’Elle était comme absorbée par Lui, et pourtant, je La voyais distinctement de Lui... Toutes les lumières de l’Hostie et toutes les flammes du Cœur de Jésus passaient par le Cœur Immaculé de la très Sainte Vierge."

"Au Ciel, je donnerai de la joie."

"Travaille avec moi à rendre les âmes heureuses."

Jésus à Dina

"Aimer et laisser faire Jésus et Marie."

Devise de Dina

"Ô mon Dieu, par Marie et Votre Esprit d'Amour,

voici le Cœur de mon Jésus !"

"Ta puissance, par Mon Cœur Divin, est infinie ; ta part est grande dans le salut et la sanctification de toutes les âmes du présent et de l’avenir."

Jésus, 13 mai 1927

"Offre-moi à Mon Père. Pendant que tu M’offres, je répands les Grâces de Mon Cœur sur les âmes par Ma très Sainte Mère."

Jésus, 24 août 1928

"Je suis le Foyer de la joie et du bonheur."

Jésus, 13 septembre 1928

"L’événement, quel qu’il soit, m’apparaît comme un chaud rayon de soleil émanant du centre même de l’infini soleil du Cœur de la Trinité."

Dina, décembre 1924

"Depuis quelques jours, Notre-Seigneur m’apprend par Son action bienfaisante à tout accepter, intérieurement surtout, avec Son Esprit de douceur et de suavité."

Dina, 26 juillet 1928

"Jésus, viens vite me donner du courage."

Dina, 22 avril 1929

Autres paroles de Dina et Jésus 

"Je demande à Jésus l'amour sans mesure et sans limites de Son Coeur... "

Dina, 6 août 1925

"Je serai donc une toute petite mendiante d'amour au nom de tous les coeurs humains. (...) Oui, au Ciel, jusqu'à la fin du monde, je mendierai constamment l'amour."

Dina, 6 août 1925

"À chaque instant, ne regarder que Dieu seul comme un Bon Père ; sourire à tout, sourire avec joie, sourire avec reconnaissance."

Dina, 11 janvier 1926

the infinite riches of the Heart of Jesus

present in the Eucharist,

and, to live, like Mary, closely united

to Him whom she loved

with an undivided heart.

May we, like her, find our joy

in faithfully doing Your Will,

and since You revealed to her Your great desire

to pour out upon the world

the abundance of Your Graces,

hear the prayer which we make for Your greater Glory,

and which we entrust to her intercession.

Amen.

Prayer to Dina

Blessed Dina,

you promised you would be

for every human heart

a " little beggar of love ".

I know that Jesus has entrusted

His Eucharistic Heart to you

so that you may distribute His riches

and do what you will

with His infinite treasures for the souls.

Before leaving for Heaven, you said:

« In heaven I will give joy. »

In total confidence, I turn to you

and beg you to intercede on my behalf, for us…

Like you, we surrender ourselves

to the infinite Love of the Heart of Jesus.

Amen.

With ecclesiastical approval.

Novena to Blessed Dina

Blessed Dina BÉLANGER was born and baptized on 30 April 1897 in St-Roch, Québec, the daughter of Olivier Octave BÉLANGER & Séraphia MATTE. Her parents lived at 168 Notre Dame des Anges in the Parish of Jacques Cartier, Portneuf County. Dina was baptized at St. Roch, Québec. She studied music and planned to become a concert pianist. While studying in New York, Dina lived with the Religious of Jesus-Mary. She returned home and decided to enter the religious life in the Congregation of Jesus-Marie at Sillery, where the nuns had their mother house. She entered the convent at the age of 24, in August 1921. She entered the order of Jesus-Marie in February 1922 and received the name Sister Marie Sainte-Cécile of Rome and took her final vows on 25 August 1923. As a nun, Dina BÉLANGER taught music.

On two occasions the sisters sent her to teach at Saint-Michel of Bellechasse but both times, illness brought her back to Sillery where she stayed (teaching music) until her death. She could have taught in many areas as she had excelled in all her studies but due to her having shown such great talent in music at a young age and her continued education at the Conservatory of New York from 1916 to 1918, her superiors judged her best qualified to teach music.

Dina had a brother who died at the age of 3 months. Dina's father was an auditor and her grandfather operated a grocery store in the St Malo district of Québec. Her ancestors (Pierre, Joseph-Marie and Nicolas) all came from Charlesbourg.

Dina died on 4 Sept in the Couvent de Jésus-Marie, Sillery and was buried on 7 Sept 1929 at the age of 32, in St-Colomb de Sillery, Québec.

In 1951 her body was exhumed and placed in a lead sarcophagus in the Convent of Jésus-Marie in Sillery, where, today, many kneel to pray. On March 20, 1993, at ceremonies in Rome, Dina BÉLANGER became the first native of Québec to be Beatified by the Church. The quiet life of this talented young woman, who lived her short adult life as a Sister of Jesus-Mary is the subject of her autobiography which has been translated into several languages. (7)

"LOVE AND LET JESUS AND MARY HAVE THEIR WAY"

Blessed Dina Bélanger's motto

"It seems to me that, in the earliest moments of my life, God wrapped the protective cloak of the Blessed Virgin around me; my eyes first saw light on the eve of the month of Mary, a Friday, and that very evening the grace of Holy Baptism drove the devil out of my soul to let the Divine Spirit reign as its master."

Blessed Dina Bélanger

Dina was the daughter of Olivier-Octave BÉLANGER and Séraphia MATTE who were married at Neuville, Portneuf Cnty., Québec on 23 June 1896.

Not many French-canadian families can claim the honor of having a family member that the Church has honored by raising her to the rank of Venerable. This young girl was educated at Saint-Roch, then at the College of Bellevue directed by the Ladies of the Congregation.

From 1916 to 1918, Dina studied piano at the Conservatory of Music in New York. She, then, entered the convent of Jésus-Marie in 1921. She professed her vows two years later, using the religious name of Sister Marie de Sainte-Cécile of Rome; she prounced her perpetual vows in 1928. Less than a year later, afflicted with a pulmonary disease, she went into the convent infirmary and died there on 4 Septembre 1929.

Despite her brief existance, Dina was renowed as a great mystic. Sixty years after her death, on 13 May 1989, the Holy See recognized the heroism of her virtues and gave her the title of VENERABLE. In the simplicity of her exterior existence as child, young girl and religious, she led an interior life of a seraphin, of an angel. She was raised to terrific heights in the areas of enlightment and divin love.

In 1951, the remains of Dina Bélanger were placed in a lead sarcophagus and transfered to the religious community cemetery at Sillery. There are many people who go to kneel in prayer at her tomb. Her beatification cause has been completed and she was declared BLESSED on 20 March 1993. Her canonisation process has already been placed in the hands of the Holy See.

Oración a la Beata Dina Belanger

Beata Dina,

tú has prometido ser para

todos los corazones humanos

una "pequeña mendiga de amor".

Sé que Jesús te ha confiado

Su Corazón Eucarístico

para que tú distribuyas Sus riquezas

y hagas lo que quieras

de Sus Tesoros infinitos para las almas.

Antes de partir para el Cielo, tú dijiste:

« En el Cielo, daré alegría. »

Con toda confianza recurro a ti

y te suplico que intercedas por mí, por nosotros...

Como tú, nos abandonamos

al Amor infinito del Corazón de Jesús.

Amén.

Con aprobación eclesiástica.
