DAILY MESSAGE OF SAINT JOSEPH, TRANSMITTED IN THE MARIAN CENTER OF FIGUEIRA, TO THE VISIONARY SISTER LUCÍA DE JESÚS​​​​​​​​

Children,

In times of inner and outer tribulation, it is necessary to develop the gifts of persistence and of perseverance. These two attributes naturally emerge in the strong souls, and today I tell you that all souls that will live the final tests of these times must be strong. Their strength comes from love and faith, and the perseverance of which I tell you is related to these two divine attributes.

Even if the world breaks down to your left and to your right, keep faith and love in your hearts. You will not live anything that you cannot bear because this is the Law; however, you will find out that you can bear much more that you imagined.

Faith quiets the mind in the certainty that the only one who knows the true end of everything is the Creator. And as His Triumph is also a Law, if you are in the favor of this Law and act for the fulfillment of it, it does not matter what you live because all will be a mean to the Triumph of God in some mysterious and unpredictable way.

Many believe that faith is the wisdom of the ignorant which – not being able to resort to reason – resort to faith. But those who think this way and who have their fortress established in the unstable sand of the beach of material life will seek the assistance of those they used to call ignorant when they see the fortress of the haughtiness and of the false knowledge sinking.

Children, do not listen to those who do not believe in the power of faith. The greater the challenges to keep this faith, the more persistent you must be. Because if faith were not a unique treasure in the hearts of humankind, the adversary of God would not try so hard to make it disappear.

Before giving in to those who judge and condemn your way of living, pray for them and deliver them in the hands of God, in the hope that one day the Creator will receive them in His Kingdom because also those who deny Him are part of His Project and must live Redemption.

I tell you all that because many will be the difficulties of these times for you to keep your own faith and love. For such reason you must be strengthened and prepared to face these onslaughts.

I will ask you to be persevering and also attentive, since the enemy does not work only by the means of others, because he also can use each one of you to establish his kingdom. And those impulses that make you lose faith can come from yourselves. For this reason, be brave and love from the heart the Plan of God to which you have been summoned.

Your Father and Friend,

The Most Chaste Saint Joseph
