WEEKLY MESSAGE OF SAINT JOSEPH, TRANSMITTED AT MARIAN CENTER OF FIGUEIRA, MINAS GERAIS, BRASIL, TO THE VISIONARY SISTER LUCÍA DE JESÚS

How many times and how intensely did your Lord feel the affliction of God in His Heart while He was on Earth?

Many, children.

The Agony of Jesus did not begin in Gethsemane, but in the desert, when His Heart began to contemplate all that He had to endure to rescue from the abysses of the world the souls that suffered there, in obscurity, even if they were alive.

The Agony of Jesus began in the desert, when, for a moment, He contemplated what it was like to live in the emptiness of the human condition; and there the Creator made Him experience and know the abandonment that He would experience on the Cross when, by  Himself, with His condition as a human being, He would have to love to the extreme in His last breath.

The agony of hearts begins in the desert, because in the void they feel fragile and susceptible to their human condition, they feel the weight of the world and its false power. But this desert, children, is just the beginning of something much bigger.

The desert is the glimpse of the Cross. It is there that human frailty is revealed and, often, the fear of not being able to overcome it dominates the hearts of mankind. But it is also in the desert where they are strengthened and truly grow in spirit to face greater trials in the silence of their own hearts.

After the desert, the offering of the self will come, represented by the Spiritual Eucharist, in which each being will have the possibility of offering themselves along with Christ and, in service, discover the essence of communion with God and with His Plan.

Then will come the cycle of humiliation, condemnation, abandonment. Then will come the cycle of flagellations and wounds, which will be internal. The cycle of the cross will come. The cycle of true renewal of love will come, and only then will the Lord come into the world again.

You will have to go through all these spiritual cycles in order to renew the Love of God and manifest His Perfect Thought.

Therefore, when you are in the desert, do not fear, but fight. Fight with prayer and silence. Fight with service and with love. Fight with the ever more intense union with the Heart of the Father, even if you do not feel Him, even if He is silent and leaves you with your human condition in the most intense trials.

You will find in the Gospel many keys to imitate the Heart of Christ. In prayer you will find many answers from your own heart, because, although God is silent in the desert, your inner worlds also hold keys and answers that can help you in your trials.

Remember your guardian angels, your souls. Remember the Divine Mother that God gave you, because even if everything is silent and everything is absolutely empty, in your Divine Mother you will always find comfort and peace, relief and compassion.

In each cycle of these final times, know how to live the signs. The transition of times is nothing more than the Passion of the planet. All that the Lord once went through to renew Creation, His companions are called to live today. To know how to do it, read His example and follow Him.

You have My blessing for this.

Your father and friend,

The Most Chaste Saint Joseph
