Pascal Lavic

Pascal Lavic was a poor seafaring man who died at sea, and whose body was found much later near Le Havre. In August 1863, he came through spontaneously by means of a medium who had never known him and had never heard his name.

The medium’s hand begins writing...

Pascal LavicI believe in the goodness of God, and I hope He'll take pity on my poor spirit.

Pascal LavicI have suffered terribly.

Pascal LavicMy body perished at sea.

Pascal LavicMy spirit stayed fastened to my body.

Pascal LavicFor a long time, it floated on the waves.

Pascal LavicGod...

The message broke off there. The next day he came back and continued.

Pascal LavicGod has kindly allowed me to be taken out of the confusion and distress my spirit was plunged into, through the prayers of those I left behind on Earth.

Pascal LavicThey waited a long time for me.

Pascal LavicAt last they found my body.

Pascal LavicIt is now at rest.

Pascal LavicAnd my spirit, which had so much trouble getting free from it, now sees the faults it committed.

Pascal LavicWhen the trial is over, God judges justly, and His goodness reaches those who repent.

Pascal LavicIf my spirit stayed tossed around with my body for so long, it was because I had to atone.

Pascal LavicFollow the straight path if you want your spirit to separate quickly from your body of flesh.

Pascal LavicLive in the love of God. Pray.

Pascal LavicThen death, so terrible for some, will become gentler for you, because you'll know the life that's waiting for you.

Pascal LavicI died at sea. They waited for me a long time.

Pascal LavicNot being able to get free from my body was a terrible trial for me.

Pascal LavicThat's why I need your prayers, because your faith can help bring me salvation.

Pascal LavicYou can pray to God for me in the right way.

Pascal LavicI repent.

Pascal LavicI hope God will forgive me.

Pascal LavicIt was on August 6 that my body was found.

Pascal LavicI was a poor seafaring man, and I died a long time ago.

Pascal LavicPray for me.

MediumWhere was your body found?

Pascal LavicNear here.

A newspaper report later confirmed the details. The medium had known nothing about the discovery beforehand.

On August 12, while the case was being discussed in the group where he had appeared, Pascal Lavic spoke again.

Pascal LavicI really am Pascal Lavic, and I need your prayers.

Pascal LavicYou can do me good, because the trial I went through was very terrible.

Pascal LavicThe separation of my spirit from my body only happened after I remembered my faults.

Pascal LavicAnd even then, I wasn't completely separated from it, but followed it for a long time while it was tossed around by the waves.

Pascal LavicBeg God to forgive me.

Pascal LavicAsk Him to give me rest.

Pascal LavicPray for me, I beg you.

Pascal LavicLet this terrible end of an unhappy life be a great lesson for all of you.

Pascal LavicThink about the life to come, and never fail to ask God to have pity on you.
