Prayer to Imitate Christ
Lord,
may my eyes contemplate the world with Your Eyes;
may my heart feel life as does Your Heart;
may my soul live upon Earth and beyond it, as does Your Soul;
may my days be an eternal reflection of Your Mercy
so that I may see my neighbor as You see me,
so that I understand my neighbor as You understand me,
so that I may be patient with my neighbor as You are with me,
so that I may speak to my neighbor as You speak to those who are Yours,
so that I may act with my neighbor as You act with those who are Yours,
and so that I may deliver to them all that You may wish to deliver.
Therefore, Lord,
may I love as You love,
serve as You serve
and live as You live,
eternally.
Amen.
Pray like the first companions of Christ, who, gathered around Him, - Jews, pagans, atheists, fishermen, prostitutes, scholars and soldiers, poor people and tax collectors, doctors and lepers - learned to love one another as He loved them.
Through His sacred Presence, their eyes became merciful and they could see beyond miseries and appearances.
This is how, children, you should look at one another today, with these very Eyes. This is how you should recognize one another, in the eternal Presence of Christ; loving, understanding, patient, merciful and compassionate, as His Heart is.
You have My blessing for this.

When a being loves with the Love of God, they grow humanly and spiritually, because this Love leads them to donate themselves, to surrender more and more deeply, to reach spaces unknown to their own consciousness, where love had not yet come, and there, the doors to God open.
A being who loves with the Love of their Creator Father does not fear to surrender before Him, does not fear to die to themselves and to their childishness, does not fear to leave the false freedom and the self-assertion of adolescence to grow up and be a servant of their Creator.
The Love of God brings creatures closer to Truth and, before this Love, nothing that comes from the world has strength, everything loses its meaning, its value, its weight within the hearts, because they discover the Infinity.
The being who loves with the Love of God only aspires to build His Kingdom and make known the Love of the Creator. They learn to live by His miracles, awaken the faith within themselves, open the consciousness toward Divine Wisdom, becoming permeated by the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, because, every day, they aspire less for themselves and more for God; they empty themselves and give place to God, thus, they grow humanly and spiritually.
Aspire for this, children: to live this Love, find this Truth and grow humanly and spiritually.
You have My blessing for this.

Let your soul be enraptured by the Love of Christ. Do not fear, do not resist. Give Him your shame, your fears, your deepest aspirations, your goals and everything you are, including miseries, skills and virtues.
The time is coming to be washed by the Blood of Christ, permeated by His Love and renewed by His surrender and, more than remembering His Passion, to be with His surrender, His Love and His Cross.
Thus, child, the time has come for a definition of maturity in Christ, to deepen your consecration and to not be afraid of growing in Him and for Him.
Let yourself be new clay in the Hands of the Potter, because He knows the Purpose of God for your life and can shape your consciousness according to Divine Will.
Pray and speak the Poems* with love that the Lord gave you, because through them, He teaches you the spiritual meaning of surrender and of humility; in this way, a surrendered soul communicates with Christ.
Do not fear to live the experience of surrender. In what is left for you of this Lent and this deep desert, begin to walk, in your heart, with decided steps to Jerusalem, confirming and re-confirming your surrender to Christ each day.
You have My blessing for this.

*Saint Joseph is referring to the Poems of a soul to the Sacred and Blessed Heart of Jesus, transmitted by Christ Jesus in the months of July and August of 2018.
From cycle to cycle, re-experience the call of Christ within you.
Within your heart, child, contemplate the sea of your life, of your story and of your surrender and, along the shores of this sea, find the Gaze of your Lord that is seeking your eyes.
Without fear, start again walking toward your Savior and allow Him to ask you for something new, a deeper surrender, a more perfect yielding.
At His Feet, leave the net of all your desires and aspirations, all that you were pursuing in the sea of life, trying to conquer it, even if it were something spiritual or even if it were something for Christ.
Listen to the Voice of your Lord calling you to enter into His Heart. And empty of everything, go with Him to fulfill His designs, cross deserts, heal your own heart and thus, grant healing, be deeply loved and, in this way, grant the Love of God to souls.
Never think that you will just surrender your life to Christ one day, but rather, child, surrender, every day. Listen to His Voice in each instant; open the way within you so that Christ may reach the most hidden spaces of your being.
I am speaking about surrender and yielding every day. Perceive that these are the keys of this time; they are the bases upon which your spirit is safe in God and in His Will. This is what He is calling you to live at this moment because, in this way, you will grow, in this way, you will fulfill the designs of the Creator for your life.
You have My blessing for this.

When God allows humanity to suffer in the face of the plans of His enemy so that the foundations of sand may break, child, you must let the fragile and false dwellings fall down and surrender your heart to God so that He may build your fortress upon rock.
When God allows weak souls to succumb to their more human temptations and weaknesses, letting themselves be defeated by the enemy, child, you must repair in your life everything that distances you from God and close the doors to the darkness that exists in the depths of your human consciousness.
When you see that the world is fragile and the inner world of humankind does not find support in what once kept them on their feet, look within where your fortitude lies, upon that which your poor soul is supported by, and place your heart in the correct place of union with Christ.
Do not let the weaknesses of souls or the world make you feel better than others so that you may point your finger to the errors of others and place yourself somewhere that you have not yet reached of holiness, surrender and inner maturity.
Let human frailties always be a mirror for you, in which you must look every day to transform that which you see, to heal that which is sick, to throw out that which has rotted and to strengthen that which is truly pure.
Enter the Heart of Christ more and more. Seek the sure path to be in God.
You have My blessing for this.

Surrender your heart in the Hands of God, oh soul so small and fragile!
Let your life be suspended into the Hands of the One who created you so that He may place you on the correct point of your evolution.
Live, being an expression of the love that you receive every day from your Creator Father.
Let your desert be fertile, like the deserts that, through the Grace of God, blossom and express the miracle of life, even in the aridity of the world.
Let your little soul be a source of faith through the persistence of your heart in the face of the challenges and trials of life.
May it not matter to you whether you are last or first.
May it not matter to you whether you are hidden or elevated in the eyes of humankind.
May it matter to you to serve and love more each day, to close your eyes to the illusions of the world and open them to the universal Truth that is revealed to you.
May it matter to you to enter into the depths of your heart and there find not only a Living God full of Graces, but also a Crucified Spouse who calls you to be like Him, every day, with the full surrender of your heart.
May the pain of the world matter to you, the pain of those who suffer and who do not find relief, and may the Grace of God upon you make your little life a fount for those who are thirsty; even though you will often drink, you will feel thirsty and empty.
May your emptiness not be filled by the world and its illusions but rather by God and His mysteries, by the faith that He places in your heart, in times of desert and solitude.
Seek relief in service; seek support in charity, in those who will always be in a worse condition than your little soul which, in spite of being so fragile, was chosen by God as a chalice for His spiritual Gifts.
It is not for you to judge the Will of the Lord, but simply to accept it, just as your Mother Mary did who, being small and simple, made Herself a Chalice and a Tabernacle so that the Living God could come into the world.
Be you, beloved soul, like your Divine Mother, and every day surrender your smallness into the Hands of God, because in your nothingness He will do everything.
You have My blessing for this.

Lord, bathe me completely
in the Divine Blood of Your Mercy.
Lord, bathe me absolutely
in the precious Water of Your Mercy
so that my life
may be justifiable and necessary to God,
so that this small part that I am,
and which represents the smallest
in all of the great Universe,
may be capable of corresponding
to your Divine Designs.
For this, I ask you, Jesus,
empty my mind and my heart
of all personal ideas.
Help me to trust in that
which is not under my control and
which comes from the Divine Will.
Assist me always
so that my arrogance, pride and disobedience
may disappear from the constant stimulations
of my personality.
And when You, Jesus,
have achieved that which you so await for,
send me to where it be necessary,
so that I may never forget that I am nothing
and that I only live through
Your spiritual and divine Presence.
Transfigure my whole being,
that up to the smallest particle
of my consciousness be redeemed;
because someday, I hope to be
the example of surrender and of selflessness
that You, Jesus, so long for.
I plead that I may not distance myself
from humility and poverty of heart
because thus, I will be for You
an instrument in the Hands of the King.
I thank you for remembering this inner intention.
Who blesses you,
Your Master and Lord, Christ Jesus
Sometimes it seems like you walk and walk, and your spirit turns away from God.
Sometimes you feel that you strive and break, and your heart retrocedes in love.
Today, child, I come to tell you that the human condition is very deep, with many layers to be transcended, ever deeper within your being. It is a long path, made up of many stages that your heart must mature, but your heart also must allow itself to be inflamed by the Love of God.
Each offer you make, each surrender you make, opens a new space within you to be healed, liberated, transcended. These are the chambers of your inner castle, which safeguard your essence and its mysteries.
Live each stage of your surrender, deepening into your union with God. Let your soul be a friend, sister, companion, wife of Christ, until one day it blends with the Lord and there are no longer limitations of His Love within you.
Walk, even if it seems that you will never get there.
Know that this is a profound inward walk toward infinity, and do not stop your steps.
Fix your gaze upon He Who calls you. And let all the obstacles, resistances, all the pain of the torn away layers, all the sorrows of the knocked down walls be sustained in the Heart that is before you upon the horizon of your surrender, your beginning and your end. In this way, you will grow in spirit, but also in love.
You have My blessing for this.

Welcome the tests your Lord sends you with love and gratitude and, through each one of them, discover the perfect path for your healing, your awakening and your redemption.
Child, sometimes God allows you to experience an illness so that, through it, you may experience a profound spiritual healing. The illness shows you the fragility of your human being when it is only supported by human forces and the laws of this world.
When you surrender from the heart and place your life in the Hands of He Who created it, and Who is the only One capable of leading it perfectly, you will then understand that the illness comes to heal you of yourself, to defeat your deepest resistances, to place you before God, just like a fragile lamb in the Arms of its Shepherd.
Perceive the illness as a warning coming from Heaven, that is calling you to go deeper into your surrender and resignation to God, in your yielding in the face of His Will, so that you may understand that He is the only One capable of guiding your steps.
While you have strength, He has Power.
While you have knowledge, He has Wisdom.
While you seek truth, He is the Truth.
For this reason, child, remain standing before God within yourself, to give thanks while He seeks to open your eyes, revealing to you your fragility.
Go deeper into the sense of surrender, of yielding and of obedience. Go deeper into the sense of faith, of gratitude and of humility in the light of God. Because, in this way, your illness will be for you a healer and your spirit will be freed.
You have My blessing for this.

Love is capable of granting Divine Wisdom to the consciousness when that Love acts through the soul that accepts it.
Love is a current that liberates obstacles of the mind and of what is material because its main energy fosters a constant dynamism and renewal.
The Greater Love is what embraces and holds all Creation, for in that Love the value of life and of all created essences is conceived.
When you cannot live in Love, try to seek It, aspire to find It through the giving of self and the humility that you can experience through service and unconditional surrender.
In the world, there are many souls that are despised and unloved; there are Kingdoms of Nature that have so much love to give the human being and yet are also despised by them.
Love is the great key that will always open doors so that the life of the unloved may be converted through the healing that Love will give them.
Love one another truly and without appearances; Love will lead you into peace.
I thank you for responding to My call!
Who blesses you,
Your Mother Mary, Rose of Peace
When your heart no longer knows what to do, child, keep your spirit in the certainty of the Presence of God and simply offer the Father your emptiness, your silence, your anguish, your human condition, your deeper aspects, your most hidden weaknesses.
Offer yourself to the Father at each moment and may your small life be before His Celestial Altar.
Give thanks, even if it is for the tests, for the deserts and for the challenges.
Give thanks for the deep abysses from which your Creator comes to withdraw you while He reaches His hands out towards you.
Allow these experiences of surrender to strengthen your spirit for an even greater surrender because it is just a matter of yielding to God ever more deeply.
You have My blessing for this.
The Most Chaste Saint Joseph
If your heart is tired within, if your mind is tired of resisting, if your bodies are tired of sustaining themselves and this world, child, the time has come to surrender to God.
If your spirit is tempted, if your soul is in agony, if loneliness approaches, even while surrounded by friends, and silence is what speaks loudest within you, child, it is because the time has come to surrender to God.
The planetary Passion begins with temptation.
Before surrendering all for love, your Lord had already spiritually carried the weight of the world and, defeating inner temptations with the revelation of His unbreakable Faith, He then overcame His most human resistances by sweating Blood and, in that, He overcame the fear of all humanity, of experiencing surrender and sacrifice for a love without rewards.
But once again, I tell you, My child, meditate upon the Cross of your Lord, and create a deep connection with Him.
Because when the Divine Word becomes silent, when the stars hide in the sky and even your inner universe is dark, like a night without the moon, it is only the power of the memory of the Passion of Christ that will inspire your soul. It is your profound union with Him and the goal of imitating His footsteps that will allow you to continue moving forward.
It is so little, My child, that you suffer grief magnified by the temptations of the world, the assaults of these times. But I tell you that much greater is the Love and the Power of God within you.
Risk discovering it; surrender yourself to live it.
Do not remain in weariness or agony, but rather drink from the divine Chalice that seems to offer you pain but, in reality, offers you infinite Love.
You have My blessing for this.

Fiery Bases of a Community and Group Life - Part II
The spirit of a Community is the light that illuminates its life forever, following the principles proposed by the Hierarchy and allowing these principles to expand according to the need of the times and the cycles.
In order for the spirit of the Community to be immortal, its members must have achieved transcendence from that which is terrestrial and vulnerable.
The bases of the community, detailed in the previous message, represent this fundamental and unalterable support so that the design or the purpose of that community may be accomplished, knowing that the presence of the Law of the Hierarchy is important. In this Law, the members of the community will know how to be guided at all times, and, in turn, this Law will help them to base their lives upon that which is evolutionary and moral.
In this sense, the center of the Community is its spirit, which welcomes all those who arrive and allows them to be participants in all the impulses incarnated in the experience of group life and in the constant path of service.
Through the Law of the Hierarchy, the Community will never be helpless, it will not feel loneliness nor spiritual abandonment. On the contrary, the Law of the Hierarchy will provide its members with that which its members and supporters need to learn in order to grow inwardly, in their level of self-giving, of service and of surrender.
In simple words, the spirit of the Community avoids living based upon appearances, avoids the presence of irresponsibility, and, above all, it establishes love, which nourishes the consciousnesses so that they may confidently dare to take the inner steps that they need to take.
In the Community, awareness is lived and practiced, and that awareness allows it to reach other more expansive levels of understanding, of what the communities purpose signifies and the active participation, from all its members.
Thus, the spirit of the Community is not personalized nor is it concentrated in one person. All are possible instruments, and all can also be mirrors of the sacred impulses of the Hierarchy.
I thank you for keeping My Words in your hearts!
Who blesses you,
Your Master and Lord, Christ Jesus
Each day, hold within your heart each small or large understanding, each key that the Creator gives you so that you may open doors and deeper chambers within yourself.
Be like a heart that cultivates all the impulses that it receives and thus builds the gardens of your own redemption.
Into these gardens, child, many souls will come, poor and empty, to be inspired by the perfume of your flowers, to remember their own inner beauty by means of the beauty and the expression of the flowers of redemption, cultivated by you with love.
Know, in this way, how great the service is of the one who, in spite of difficulties within themselves, continues to go deeper, continues offering to God their own surrender.
Great is the service of those who walk, even in the void, of those who seek God in solitude and who remain standing, simply through the certainty of His silent and hidden Presence.
In your heart, take each small and great sign and open a deeper door within yourself. If you understand something, meditate upon that and enter there with all that you are. Love unravelling your own mysteries, because it will be in this search for the unknown and deep universe that is within you that one day you will know the true dweller of your heart.
And as it is said in the sacred books, the Truth shall set you free, child, because the Truth is the unity with God, beyond errors, beyond paths, beyond illusions. But it is not enough that I tell you all these things. The Truth will make you free when you experience meeting with it in your own heart.
For this reason, go on more profoundly.
Do not get tired of searching, even if it is in darkness. Do not get tired of continuing onward and of cultivating the seeds of the divine impulses within your heart. Be a gardener of the new time.
You have My blessing for this.
The Most Chaste Saint Joseph
In a spirit of sacrifice and surrender, launch your heart into the unravelling of the mysteries of the Universe, as well as into the depths of the Earth.
With love, embrace what is unknown to you and give thanks to God for the Mercy granted in your life, of being so close to His Grace and His Truth.
In a world of so much ignorance, child, your spirit must be joyful for being a part of the cycle of revelations that begins for all humanity.
Open your heart to what you have never learned.
Open your consciousness to discover what was hidden within your soul.
Let the remembrances emerge, and that which you did not know to have experienced may arise as a way to propel you toward the new, the sacred and the sublime.
Let your soul face new horizons, because the tests of these times will be new and for this, you must be ready.
Let gratitude be the key always held within your hands to open the doors of the Heavens.
Let humility be your protective shield in this battle of ignorance and vanities, from which humankind tries to get out of and often does not manage to do so.
Let prayer be your harbor and the Heart of God your breath.
Breathe His Presence and radiate His Peace; in this way, you will realize that even what seemed most hidden has always been in front of you, in the Heart of God.
The Most Chaste Saint Joseph
From the sacred places of the planet, collect the deepest and most hidden history of humanity. Let this history awaken in your hearts like an ancient memory that remained silent in the depths of your souls.
May this record, revealed today, be an impulse for you so that your hearts may return to purity, to the sacred and to the aspiration to be a living part of the Plan of God.
There is still much about this world that remains merely a memory in the souls of those who experienced it and in the consciousness of the planet and its Kingdoms.
It is time to remember, not to stay in the past, but so that all that you have already experienced as humanity may propel you today into taking new steps. Humanity needs to know what it has already done and what it has already experienced in order to understand what it still awaits.
In very ancient times, purity carried you into transfiguration, and surrender led you into participating in Laws that transcended matter so that you could participate in what is invisible and seemingly unachievable to you.
May purity emerge again within you today so that you may discover other Laws and, through surrender, not only be participants in subtle worlds, but also allow these worlds, in the material dimension of the Earth, to find their space, the sacred place to manifest what was promised from the beginning.
You have My blessing for this.

Come to know the unlimited Love of God through the union with your Creator and you will understand the vastness of His Creation and the perfection with which your Lord fills the details, the paths and the dimensions with mysteries by uniting His Consciousness with the consciousnesses of His children.
Come to know the unlimited Love of God for life and upon discovering the greatness of His Creation, you will not be surprised. Infinite are the forms that the essences received from God in order to fulfill His Purpose and recreate life.
However, child, to recreate life is not only by beginning a new Creation from zero. To recreate life means that the evolutionary spiral has reached a higher point and, from there, closer to God, a new cycle begins.
Contemplate and come to know the unlimited Love of God, and you will not be surprised when you discover that, more than just sending His Son into this world, the Creator sent many more of His companions and He also created other worlds, other races, other lives so that in the perfect expression of each one of them, they would complement and help each other to grow and return to His Heart with a renewed love, multiplied and matured through the overcoming experiences.
Thus, contemplate and come to know the unlimited Love of God, and also be unlimited in your understanding, in your openness, in your giving of self and in your surrender so that, someday, child, more than just contemplating and knowing, you may experience and become the unlimited Love of God.
You have My blessing for this.

To come to be a knower of God, after having crossed the abysses, gone through the tribulations and the voids, you must persist in prayer.
The Rosary, children, will be your shelter in all stages of the desert.
The Holy Rosary will support you when your hearts are weak.
The Holy Rosary will protect you when your hearts are besieged.
The Holy Rosary will elevate you when your hearts are free.
The Holy Rosary will show you the Face of God when your spirits have become whole in prayer, surrendered to the Father and when your one and real aspiration is to reach Him.
It is from the hands of the Most Holy Mary that you will come to Christ and emulate His path.
In the same way that your Lord was fully and wholly united with His Celestial Mother and was thus safeguarded by Her silent and hidden prayers, both in the desert and on the Cross, so must each one of you be. With your heart intimately united with the Heart of Mary, allow yourselves to be guided and protected by Her.
Knowledgeable about the deserts as well as the cross, knowledgeable about death and the faith in resurrection, knowledgeable about the overcoming and the apostolate, knowledgeable about the celestial mysteries and the deep mysteries of the human consciousness, Your Most Holy Mother will always guide you.
And so, be it in the desert, in calvary, in life, in death, in resurrection or in the face of the celestial mysteries, trust in the guidance and the support of the Mother of God, the untiring Servant, thought of, manifested and sent by the Creator, to lead His creatures toward His Heart.
In Mary, see the Hands of God, which cross the dimensions to seek you and, in the Holy Rosary, see the bridge and the correct connection to remain united with Her Immaculate Heart.
You have My blessing for this.

Today I offer you this new rosary so that the mothers, sisters, brothers and believers in Christ may pray these mysteries of love lived and experienced by Padre Pio, so that the example of his life, his surrender and his passion for Jesus, through his five painful wounds, be the means through which all priests become like the faithful model of this saint, priest and healer of souls, so the liberation granted by Padre Pio may undo the ties of the priests oppressed by the illusion of the adversary, and so that the sanctifying Grace of the Holy Spirit may bring them all the strength of renewal and the apostolate in Christ.
I thank all of you who already pray, and those who will begin to pray for My companions.
Who blesses you,
Your Master and Lord, Christ Jesus
The deserts, child, are experienced in different stages of the surrender and transformation of humankind.
During inner growth, the Creator brings His children into the desert many times. Sometimes rapidly and simply and, sometimes, in a deep and prolonged way, which seems to never end.
The desert is an inner state of emptiness in which the Creator takes from His children and friends all the consolations of Earth, every feeling, every affection, all that which the spiritual being creates as a support, and sometimes this acts as a springboard upon their path toward inner life.
All of that is taken away so that, in this way, the consciousness may learn to be supported purely byspiritual foundations, in the knowledge and experience of God, which is born from faith and the experience of the void.
Consolidate your union with God through the simple certainty that He is present, even if He does not make Himself felt, heard nor seen.
The desert can be seen as rough and painful but, in truth, child, the desert is the invitation of God for souls to achieve a profound and direct union with Him, far from the illusions and the senses, far from the dimensions of matter and all they are made up of.
The desert is an invitation to what is real; but to cross this desert, it is not enough to have knowledge. The science of humility must be discovered, of yielding and of surrender, the science of launching oneself into the Divine Hands and knowing that His Will is perfect, both in the oasis and in the desert, in the temples full of souls that awaken as well as in the calvary full of souls that despise.
That is why I speak about the desert, so that you may learn to love it and to aspire to it. Not to aspire to suffering, but rather aspire to a direct, profound and real union with the One who created you and invites you to express the likeness to His Heart.
You have My blessing for this.
