The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ

CHAPTER LXVI
17/40

The Pope says expressly, in the 54th paragraph of his Second Epistle to the Bishops of the East: 'Our predecessors received from the Apostles and delivered to us that our Saviour Jesus Christ, after having made the Last Supper with his Apostles and washed their feet, taught them how to prepare the Holy Chrism.' 8 On the 11th of December 1812, in her visions of the public life of Jesus, she saw our Lord permit the devils whom he had expelled from the men of Gergesa to enter into a herd of swine, she also saw, on this particular occasion that the possessed men first overturned a large vat filled with some fermented liquid.
9 Dulmen is a small town in Westphalia, where Sister Emmerich lived at this time.
10 Mary of Heli is often spoken of in this relation.

According to Sister Emmerich, she was the daughter of St.Joachim and St.Anne, and was born nearly twenty years before the Blessed Virgin.

She was not the child of promise, and is called Mary of Heli, by which she is distinguished from the other of the same name, because she was the daughter of Joachim, or Heliachim.

Her husband bore the name of Cleophas, and her daughter that of Mary of Cleophas.

This daughter was, however, older than her aunt, the Blessed Virgin, and had been married first to Alpheus, by whom she had three sons, afterwards the Apostles Simon, James the Less and Thaddeus.
