Messages of Saint Joseph

Fourth day of the novena

When I was called to the Temple to marry a Saintly and Pure Virgin, My Heart was before a challenge and an inner test.

For Myself, I had planned a life of silence, chastity and solitude. I had not thought of marrying, of constituting a family and sharing My experience on Earth with one, because I thought My mission could not be understood by anyone, as it was even a great mystery for myself.

When I saw the Most Holy Mary, a profound Love for God awakened within me, and this Love reflected in Me as a purity never experienced before.

I was solitary in this world, like the dry tuberose staff I held in My hands, and the Purity of the Most Holy Mary, reflected in Me, made the staff blossom. I thus understood the Will of God and renounced everything I had thought of for My life.

When the Will of God calls you to renounce your own plans, even though they may seem spiritual, so that you may live something you never thought to live, empty yourselves of yourselves, and pray to the Father, in My Name, saying:

Lord,
You, Who awakened Purity in the Chaste Heart of Saint Joseph
and caused Him to renounce His human will,
give us the Grace of being pure and simple
so that we may renounce our will
and live only Yours.

There is no greater gift than living the Will of God and seeing it made manifest in your own life. For this reason, lose the fear of tearing up your own plans and of opening your hands to receive the Scroll of the Divine Will.

Your Father and Companion,

The Most Chaste Saint Joseph
