Messages of Saint Joseph

Children,

Each one of you will live in these times the learning that will lead you to live love, renunciation, and absolute surrender to the Creator, the resignation to His Holy Will.

When your souls chose to respond to the Call of God, they knew that this would be a hard path, sometimes long and endlessly filled with tests and challenges.

In this moment, children, you will be tested in the interior desert and you will fortify within yourselves the capacity of giving to your neighbor what you thought you did not have. It will be when you will feel greater loneliness and unrest that the Lord will place before you the needs of the other – that not always will be greater than yours. Also, several times, you will have to put aside the desolation that consumes you to help your brothers and sisters to get out of situations that seem so small and simple.

Children, it is in this moment, in the simplest tests, that you will confirm within yourselves the Christic path. When it will seem that you need most help, more the Lord will charge from you the permanent giving, because this is how He did it with His Son.

After making Him experience the loneliness of Gethsemane, He took Him to the Calvary, where – besides surmounting His own loneliness – He had to forgive the abandonment and the betrayal of His companions, those who said they would follow Him to the end. He had to forgive those that, little by little and full of hatred, were killing Him. Beyond forgiving them, He had to love them and give them His last drop of blood, without thinking about Himself and His difficulties, only supporting Himself in the Purpose of His Father.

When you are without inner and outer strength to continue and, even so, the Creator calls you to walk, remember that this is how He treats those in which He has placed His Trust; this is how He treats those that He loves most and that He knows will respond to His Call in the name of all those who are blind, deaf and have the heart and spirit closed.

Remember, children, that the tests of today strengthen you for the tests of tomorrow. You must be strong to surpass what you live – and I am not only speaking about physical facts, as I speak about what goes on in the inner worlds – because if you live great tests today, tomorrow you must surrender life for love of those who hate you.

But I tell you that the greatness of the Plan of the Creator and the great reward for following Him is, in spite of everything, that you will not regret to have said “yes” and, even if you seem languid in your body, mind and emotions, you will be full in spirit, full of the Truth of God and of the certainty that there is no other path to follow, but this one that leads you to the Father.

Your Father and Friend, the One who teaches you to recognize with joy and in peace the tests of today to strengthen yourselves for the tests of tomorrow.
