#197 The Power of St. Joseph – He Assists Those who Practise Spiritual Detachment from Creatures – He Obtains All He Asks of God

 
   A mixture of ecstasies with and without dates about St. Joseph, with commentary from the “Friends of Marie-Julie Association” Website

::::::::::::::::::::

In her (Marie-Julie's) later years, Saint Joseph brought some sweetness to the souls he visited. He only told them this word. ...


St. Joseph: “If you want me to assist you and I obtain for your soul the most beautiful gifts, flee attachment to creatures. (i.e., everything of the world and all earthly attachments. Learn to be spiritually detached.) Love them, but only those God has in His grace. The time that we use to think of mortal creatures is lost time.”


Saint Joseph was subject to the Ministers of the Holy Temple. This earned him many reproaches. The world then, like today, despised him. There was no perfect charity towards the Holy Family, and God has (proved) it.


(This text from March 28, 1882) The Flame of the Holy Spirit: “Friends, God tests those that He loves. He allows contempt for those who are His close friends. It is an honour for Him and a benefit for the Christian. Saint Joseph is so powerful that all he asks, he obtains. He watches over families, and supplies the needs of the true children of God. It is he that Jesus sends, and His holy Mother, to assist those who die, and give them a death gentle as sleep.”
