Lent is a moment, children, for coming to know Christ again, to recognize Him with a new gaze, a gaze with neither veils nor fears so that you may know who He is and who you are as you stand before Him, what you are called to experience upon facing the Son of God.
Many are those who walk at the side of Christ, eat from His Body, drink from His Blood, participate in His wonders and hear His Words; but few are those who look at the Lord without veils before their eyes, without walls before their hearts and know Who He is, and also discover themselves before Him.
But Lent is this moment, for in it the Lord says to you: "I Am that I Am, I Am He Who Is; One with God, the very God made Man and Spirit."
And in hearing this revelation of the Son of God, your eyes open so that you can not only recognize Him but also recognize yourselves.
Lent is a moment for deciding to seek Christ and to experience the revelation of His Presence; let yourself be flooded by His mysteries and transformed by His Love. Or else, children, let yourselves see Him pass by and do wonders, see how hearts are transformed upon listening to Him and even so they remain blind and deaf to Him.
Choose life, life in Christ, life in Truth, life in the freedom from yourselves. Choose the fading of the dust.
Do not cling to yourselves, to your virtues and skills, to your convictions and knowledge, to your minds and beliefs. Cling to Christ, to His Celestial Truth, to His Presence, to His Life.
This is the meaning of Lent: to prepare and to define oneself in Christ.
You have My blessing for that.
The Most Chaste Saint Joseph
Wherever there is a heart that struggles to win itself over, God will be there helping its footsteps.
Wherever there is a heart willing to overcome itself in love, so that a greater love may emerge within itself, God will be there helping its footsteps.
Wherever there is a heart that prays sincerely and begs for the redemption and transformation of its miseries, God will be there helping its footsteps.
The Lord will turn each one of your falls into a greater impulse for the strengthening of your spirit; He will turn your miseries into a greater impulse so that your spirit may live humility and detachment from your skills. The Lord will make your weaknesses the reason for His constant surveillance. And everything that made you weak before, will strengthen you. Everything that made you miserable before, will be converted.
His tests will become a trampoline for human evolution and for the renewal of Divine Creation.
It is enough that the hearts ask for divine assistance in everything. And that they do everything within their reach to sincerely fulfill the Plans of God. Even if they are not perfect and feel like a sea of misery, the Lord will pour everything into the ocean of His Mercy. It is enough to know how to surrender to God.
Your Father and Friend,
Saint Joseph Most Chaste
Peace is a divine gift in the heart of those who have entrusted their lives to the Most High Father.
Peace in spiritual life comes from the giving up of all the results of your works. As much as the heart strives to transcend its own limits on behalf of the fulfilling of the Will of God, it does not become attached to the results, not even within itself, in others or in anything.
In these times, to not wear out the heart nor the willingness to continue forward, you must remain in peace and go through the days of inner conflict and of purification with a certain trust in what is to come, rather than involved with the transition that you or others are experiencing.
God has given you the opportunity to be purified under the gift of His holy Peace, under the protection of His Marian Centers, and during a period in which chaos is still beginning its cycle of expansion.
Happy are those who avail themselves of the blessings given by God, for He expects that, in a coming time, you will no longer be walking on the basic paths of your own transformation, but rather that you are helping those who will have to bear the sudden awakening they will experience and the inner and outer changes that will violently, so to speak, take place on the whole planet.
Be more simple, I will not tire of telling you, because when you discover the gift of simplicity, you will no longer entangle your consciousness in the everyday things of life and will not lose spiritual energy in conflicts which, from now on, will be the common experience of the human consciousness, and which will also grow in intensity.
Everything depends on one who goes through their purification and on those who are around them. If you learn to experience everything in a natural way and without fear, you will be able to help so that the process of each will be less painful.
I do not ask that you be indifferent in the face of the tests that you or your brothers and sisters experience, but that you try to bring the balm of simplicity and of peace to these situations, recognizing in a mature way what is to be transformed and moving toward a cleansing of your own inner mud.
I know that inner and outer reactions will happen that you will not be able to control, and that you will only be clear about them when, in an instant of greater lucidity, you will reflect upon what is happening to you. Do not think there is no solution for what you are living, but rather, little by little, try not to become involved so much with your own processes.
Be more direct and even colder with yourselves. Perceive an error and try to transform it. On recognizing that you fell and only realized this on finding yourself on the ground, stand up and continue to walk, for further ahead you will be able to open the eyes of others, so that so many falls can be avoided.
Serve and sacrifice yourselves with peace and with courage, because selfless service will help you to discover the truth of the greatness of the Plan of God and that, in the world and even around you, there exist greater needs than yours and greater problems than those of your own purification.
Love the times in which you live, with the certainty that the triumph of God in your lives will be generated through those transformations that sometimes are uncomfortable, but will always be worth it.
In the simplicity of My words, I leave you My peace, so that from My Divine Spirit you may receive all that you need for consecrating matter.
Let everything be on behalf of the manifestation of the Will of God.
The Most Chaste Saint Joseph, peace-bringer and simplifier of human hearts
