“My son, My daughter, when was the last time, as you made The Sign of The Cross, you thought of the Truth behind It, the Beauty in It, the Love of It, the Sacrifice It stood for, the Purpose, and Its Full Meaning? Or, did you just do it without thought? I could tell you of the many times you accepted It in a habit way and did not accentuate each step.
You are God’s Love, so you are Mine. You are God’s Truth. Each day you accept things casually and ask proof. Now I ask you the same. Do you love God in the true vein? If All The Saints, Who have well-known Names, were to gather Their thoughts and teach you all the things that helped Them get to be Saints, would it help you? Yes, but I can simplify for you the way to Here, the rules to follow, and the road best for you.
First: The Sign of The Cross, sometimes in public: would you say this is too much?
Second: The Act of Love, God’s Love to you, The Holy Eucharist: do you make a point of accepting This each day?
Third: Do you say the Rosary out of obedience to Our Lady, or do you make excuses regarding time?
Fourth: Do you combine your heart with The Son’s Heart? Do you accept His Love openly?
Five: Do you renew your thoughts on the Ten Commandments? Do you examine your conscience honestly? Be sure, My children, time is spent on this.
Six: Do you teach others, by example, the beauty of loving God, or do you let them think you are weak in this way?
Stand strong, stand firm, so if your Faith is challenged no fear will come your way. Do you act humbly or do you let pride reduce the beauty of many meetings that could express God’s Love from you? Remember, My children, pride is weakness, humility is strength.
There are many things I could say. There are many acts of love I could show you how to do, but I want you to pray and ask God to show you the way.
Remember, God’s enemy plays tricks on you. Be alert at all times of what he can do. As a safeguard for you, say The Divine Praises1 at times when you are about to embark on earthly matters. When you are about to face problems for others, say to yourself quietly These Praises, and many times you will find situations change, people dwindle in size, and arrogance fall by the wayside. Be earnest, be honest, be truthful, be just, be courageous, but be strong.
I bless you with Heavenly Love, with God’s Power. Do not dismiss My Words for They will give you strength. Do not cause antagonism with certain children, but understand their way. I am Saint Joseph and the means by which I speak to you has been used many times by God. In some ways it is the strongest force in the world to reach mankind. So be it.”
1 The Divine Praises are a set of 14 acclamations to give glory to God. Written in 1797 by Father Luis Felici, they were originally intended as reparation for blasphemy and profane language against God.
