YEARNING FOR GOD 1/
“He and I “ by Gabrielle Bossis is the famous account of her
dialogues with Jesus. As simple reflections on the Gospels, this book is a
daily companion that encourages growth in one's personal relationship with the
Lord. A fine book to add to anyone's spiritual reading collection. Gabrielle
Bosis (1874-1950) is the listener who writes down the words that the Lord tells
her. It is so sweet the way the Lord tells Gabrielle how much he yearns for her
love and companionship just as we all yearn for someone to love us and notice
us.
The source
for this information is from the excellent book "He
and I" by Gabrielle Bossis.
Gabrielle Bossis (1874-1950) was a Catholic Mystic and layperson who lived in France in the 20th century. Born in Nantes, France in 1874, she was the youngest child of a family of four children. As a child in a well to do family, she was taught and raised in proper social graces and etiquette, and she grew up to be a graceful, happy and high spirited young woman, but as from her childhood she possessed a strong yearning for God and the things of the Spirit. She obtained a Degree in Nursing, and enjoyed the fine arts of that time, including sculpting, painting, illuminating and music.

Later in life she
discovered that she had another talent- that of writing moral plays and also
acting. From that point on until two years before her death she traveled
extensively in France and abroad, producing her own plays and acting in the
principal role. Those who still remember her remark about her infectious
laughter and her unfailing charm.
On very rare occasions in her early life, Gabrielle had been surprised by a Mysterious Voice, which she heard and felt with awe, and sometimes anxious questionings, which she perceived to be the Voice of Christ. It was only at the age of 62, however, that this touching dialogue with the "Inner Voice" began in earnest, continuing (at least in her notes) until two weeks before her death on June 9, 1950.
The journal that she kept of her dialogue with the Inner Voice has been published in numerous languages under the title "He and I" and has become a source of deep inspiration and edification for those who read it. I shall be posting a few excerpts from this extraordinary dialogue between "The Inner Voice" and Gabrielle.

Jesus: "Remember that I travelled all of your roads".
"If you want to gain strength to make a sacrifice, don't look at the sacrifice. Look at My joy."
"Don't you realize that I have been waiting a long, long time for you? No two souls are alike. None other can give Me what I expect from you."
