Listen with your heart to the story that I will tell you. Let that My words flow like pure water in the river of your mind and may the mysteries of My life run within this water with the same harmony. Trust in the commitment that your heart has with Me because the world knows very little about this story, and it will continue to know very little until it enters into the Kingdom of the Heavens.

I was born from a gestation of infinite purity, prepared by the angels, as if they were creating a flower, but it was My soul that was growing in the maternal womb of My holy mother. I say holy to you because upon her the Holy Spirit descended through dreams. She was prepared by the angels to understand the motherhood that she would live, of an uncommon child for those times.

My mother used to sing to My heart, praying and preparing her pregnancy with deep love. Love that God infused in her to inspire her creation, that would be the seed of what would become Joseph, called the son of David.

I was born and I grew up accompanied by angels. My holy mother, adorned by the Holy Spirit, was the one who first taught Me to realize the initial works of charity. She taught Me that, for the neighbor, we would always offer the best, and whoever acted in this way, giving to the neighbor the best that one had, would receive from God the best that He Himself had in the Kingdom of the Heavens.

In this way, I began to understand the Laws of God, which were very different from the laws of the Earth, and the more My childish consciousness was submerged in this Kingdom, the more I saw Myself outside of all of the laws of the world, above all the laws of matter, those that trap humanity and make it a hostage of the energies of vices.

Gifted with a deep union with God, the Lord never allowed the laws from the Earth to act upon My youthful consciousness.

I learned from work and from solitude, silence, prayer and fasting, and within these daily habits, I grew. From a simple and poor family, life was reflecting itself in My soul; I grew up simple and poor of the things of the world.

Solitude taught Me humility because in solitude I deepened into the mysteries of Faith and the science of the Kingdom of God, which made Me understand day by day, how small I was before the Greatness of the Most High God.

It is true that I made a vow of chastity when I was 12 years old. In truth, chastity and purity were infused in Me by the Divine Will, and these were natural virtues of My little being. When at the age of twelve I understood part of the Will of God for My little consciousness, I confirmed Myself in this Will and I offered the vow of perpetual chastity.

Not only did I make this vow before God, but I also promised Him to be eternally of service in all things as long as I lived and into Eternity. I would be His faithful servant and worker, eternally serving His Holiness and all His children, those most in need.

When I married Mary, I also found within Her the perfect charity of which we were an example as a family, and as individuals.

All works carried out by My hands were offered to the poor, those who were poorer than we were. And, as I had learned from God, when I gave to those in need, by Work and the Grace of the Holy Spirit, we would receive at our table all that we needed to survive.

Mary was also an example of spiritual charity. She would form in the Love for God all those who were in need, from the elderly to the youth. She was always surrounded by women from Nazareth and Jerusalem.

In My work as a carpenter, I carried out the trade always united to the Will of the Lord, and this allowed the instruments made to be endowed with the Holy Spirit.  Many miracles happened within and outside of my knowledge, miracles about which I asked for perpetual silence to those who would receive them, and total attribution to the Divine Grace and to His Holy Will and Work.

In My carpentry, I trained the young and the children of Nazareth, among whom was the Child Jesus, who would teach Me more than what He learned.  With His presence, the miracles realized through the objects that were made began to grow.

Since our creations were made for people that were very poor, but who had much faith, it cost them nothing to believe in the Works of the Holy Spirit; and though deeply grateful to this quite mysterious family of Nazareth, seeing such great humility and purity, they did not hesitate to attribute these holy works to God. 

The life of Joseph was above all a life of silence, work and prayer. The Lord says that this is the archetype of consecrated life, a life that existed so many years ago and that, for many, may be considered outdated, but that came to reveal to the world the archetype of families upon Earth.

Joseph and Mary completed each other in virtue and in devotion, in Love of God and in caring for Jesus. Jesus learned in His childhood about the virtues of His parents and He excelled in all, growing in them and teaching His most humble parents to live under the Law of God.

The Sacred Family was the complement of perfect holiness, the most pure Work of the Creator, seen in the smallest details and prepared not only in Joseph and in Mary, but in all previous fourteen generations of both parents of Jesus.

These generations were growing in holiness and purity to offer the two saints the most pure sanctity that could exist upon Earth and, from this perfect union could be born, protected from the world and sheltered by the Holy Spirit, the favorite Son of God, His firstborn, Jesus Christ.

The writings that are found in The Mystical City of God are complemented by those that are in the Gospel.

All must be read and studied with the heart so that, through it, it shall be transmitted.

May this devotion first be born in your hearts, which will later travel the world.

Your beloved Brother and Instructor, the Most Chaste Saint Joseph
