WEEKLY MESSAGE OF SAINT JOSEPH,
TRANSMITTED AT MARIAN CENTER OF FIGUEIRA, MINAS GERAIS, BRASIL, TO THE
VISIONARY SISTER LUCÍA DE JESÚS. June 2 of 2023
Why
consecrate your own life and for what?
What
does it mean for God that a soul consecrates its life and lives according to
its consecration?
A
consecrated soul, children, is the one that abandons the world in its heart,
not to ignore life on Earth, but to make the union with God its priority, and
thus, a consecrated soul is the one that is willing to be an instrument of the
Creator and take His Presence in its actions, words, feelings and thoughts.
The
consecration of a soul does not happen immediately when it assumes its vows,
but gradually, when day after day, this soul confirms itself in the purpose of
taking God with it in everything in life.
A
consecrated life is the one that balances the indifference of the world to the
planetary situation, because in prayer, this soul is able to feel each place on
the planet and all beings are important to this soul, all life finds room in
its praying words.
A
consecrated soul is the one who is aware that its actions transform the planet
and that its heart transforms the human heart. Thus, it serves tirelessly in
the anonymity of its consecration. It does not need to be in the world to serve
the world, because it knows the amplitude of spiritual life and its mysteries
and so it serves, penetrating these mysteries and unveiling within itself the
depths of inner life.
A
consecrated soul is for God a balm on His wounds; it is for Christ as the
fragrant healing oil upon His Wounds; it is to The Most Holy Mary as the roses
that are upon Her Feet and make existence beautiful.
A
consecrated soul lives to balance the imbalances from this world, in order to
detain the Rage of God that has often been imminent upon the Earth.
A
consecrated soul concedes, with its life, the balance that humanity needs to
continue receiving Mercy, even when it
only deserves Divine Justice.
A
consecrated soul constantly reminds the Creator of His Purpose of Love for
humanity, so that His hope to see this Purpose manifested does not get lost.
A
consecrated soul does not fear service, sacrifice or surrender, because these
were the steps that Christ took towards the renewal of Divine Love, and these
are the same steps to which this soul constantly aspires. It longs to imitate
its Lord as a child that admires their father, as a wife that accompanies her
husband, as a friend that is always beside their friend, as a disciple that
makes an effort to correspond to their master.
This
is how a soul that consecrates itself lives, in the daily and constant
challenge to learn how to love, to transform within itself the human condition
and become an instrument in the Hands of the Creator.
Now
I ask you, children, are you consecrating your life to God?
Do
not give up on your paths, do not let yourselves be brought down by
difficulties, but in each fall with the cross may you find in the Creator, the
strength and bravery to renew your spirits and keep walking.
You
have My blessing for this.
Your
father and friend,
The
Most Chaste Saint Joseph
