The Powerful Intercession of St. Joseph
Ecstasy date April 1, 1913. (Source, “Marie-Julie Jahenny: Une Vie Mystique”, Henri Bourcier, pp. 225-229.)
Our Lady: “My children, I leave (with you) my holy spouse, the glorious St. Joseph.”
Marie-Julie Jahenny: “The good father St. Joseph appears with a multitude of souls, some larger, others smaller. There are all sizes, all the riches!” (i.e. he appears with a host of souls from Heaven, their sizes and different 'riches' denoting their merits and graces.)
St. Joseph: “My children, this very sweet name which I give to you, I receive it from the holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary…
It is enough to invoke me once for me to answer this call with a heaven of graces given to me by Jesus and the Blessed Mother. You who are my devout servants, I come to the threshold of heaven with as many graces as the Beloved (Jesus) has power, as much as He has goodness, as much as He has love, for He loves without being loved. (I.e. Our Lord is not loved in return.)
Today, I can assure you of my powerful protection. My power is so strong. Invoke me and pray to me with confidence, you will be the first to reproach me.
(NOTE: an odd expression that does not translate well into English – it almost sounds like St. Joseph was trying to make a joke! Possibly, he means anyone up to now who invoked him all these centuries has received his aid and have never had to reproach him regarding unanswered prayers, and if he failed now to answer them, they would be the first to ever have to reproach him! Basically, he is saying I have never left anyone down all this time, why would I do so now?)
St. Joseph: "I have more desire to give you than you do asking me. For my feast day, (i.e. March 19, or perhaps May 1, the feast of St. Joseph the Worker), I promise to assist you in the midst of battles, hailstorms of fire, shrapnel of stones, in the midst of thunderbolts from heaven. Everywhere, I will assist you. I will be the torch that will guide your path, that will bless all your efforts, that will sanctify all your steps, in the midst of the ruins of justice (of the) Sovereign of Heaven.
(NOTE: this seems to be a prophecy of WWI which was just about to strike, he promised his protection. Also, this could be a promise he will be there with the faithful during the catastrophic chastisements.)
St. Joseph: "You, my children, my servants, you and your families, your children, you and your friends, I will be your assistant during this life and in your last hour. You will seem to catch a glimpse of the sweet and ravishing figure of St. Joseph. I will only keep a very short distance, and you will all be able to feel the effect of my presence, the effect of my gentleness. You will especially appreciate this word: “Do not be afraid, my servant, do not be afraid!” The last sleep (death) will be as sweet as mine in the arms of beloved Jesus, of the Blessed Mother and of mine.
I promise you a holy death, a sweet death. You will have in your soul, in your mind and in your heart the very sensitive feeling of my holy presence and, through the obscured veil of the sight of your eyes, I will pass a drop of my sweet smile which will give your souls a lively joy to see your Beloved (Jesus), His Father, the Creator and the Divine Eternal Love. You will receive this grace for yourselves, your families, your friends, all devout souls.
Here is a great power that the Holy Church did not mention: often on the Wednesday dedicated to me, (I.e the first Wednesday of the month?) I deliver blessings and protections to a multitude of souls of my children.
My children, often I take 'bail' to the feet of the Judge (Who is) so gentle for the righteous. My prayer, my surety touches this Heart so much that I loved so much, that I carried, that I nourished, that I protected, that often I obtain hours less for expiation. (i.e St. Joseph shortens a soul's time in Purgatory). Sometimes, the Divine Bridegroom shortens up to seven hours of expiation in honor of my seven joys and seven sorrows. Often I obtain such great favors for my devoted children.
My children, I am also the terror of the perverse spirit. (I.e the terror of the demon.) I am the great enemy of hell, of the eternal abysses. Oh! What miracles I have wrought, often in the last quarter of an hour of the life of so many souls! My children, the Enemy, furious because of my presence and my power, often accuses me at the sovereign Tribunal and disputes with me the souls that I have snatched from his hell. (i.e. he and the demon battle for souls during their particular judgements, St. Joseph intercedes for them and succeeds in snatching many away form the demon and assuring them salvation. Satan is furious with him!)
If you knew my power and my power with Jesus and Mary! It is so great! Come to me, I am on the left of the beloved Jesus who gives me His heavens of grace. I am here for you, for your spiritual and temporal needs. I have a particular providence, bestowed by my Divine adoptive Son, by my Blessed Immaculate Spouse, for temporal matters, for all your needs. Come to me, you will give joy to Jesus and Mary (by doing so). Come to me, I will give to you, I will grant you, I will console you, I will relieve you!
With my Blessed Spouse, I promise to carry your beautiful souls, not to the Divine Judge, but to the Divine Father, to the Divine Spouse. (i.e he will present those devoted to him to God who will not be a strict Judge to them). And at your coronation in heaven I will attend and, by the command of the Divine King, I will start the joyous hymn of the divine banquet of eternal love where we will sing together of the savor and the sweetness of your eternal nourishment, nourishment of love, eternal feast of rejoicing.
With my Blessed Immaculate Spouse, I bestow all our titles of graces, of power, protection and assistance to all your gifts, every object of piety and all your prayers; the same powers and the same graces as those of Immaculate Mary, to all souls to the ends of the earth exiled by injustice: the family of Henry of the Cross. (i.e. St Joseph's powerful intercession and protection extends to Henry V of the Cross and his family, the promised Great Catholic Monarch destined to restore the French throne during the Age of Peace.)
All my strengths and my powers, my smile, my protective gaze, I extend it to everyone and for you. My children, when my Blessed Spouse is going to give you her holy blessing which contains all the gifts, mine are joined there, my graces to her graces, my gifts to her gifts, my protections to her protections, my wonders to hers.
I tell you again: to almost every soul in the land of exile by injustice (Henry V), all heaven bears graces and, on this beautiful day of my feast, all the angels and saints will be my servants bearing my graces in all places of the earth.
In the corollas of my lily I have a more extended grace of purity for each one of you, and this grace is poured into these prodigious lily corollas by the Heart of the Divine Master and His Holy Immaculate Mother. It is a double grace of purity, it is like a garment, a nuptial robe for your beautiful souls, like a spotless robe to cover your bodies, to keep them intact, with the beauty of the beautiful soul that gives them life, activity and movement.
In another corolla, I give you my blessing which preserves from a sudden and unforeseen death, my blessing which gives the grace to die, or rather, to fall asleep like me, in the arms of Jesus and Mary, in blessing and grace, in the peace of Jesus.
Pray for Holy Church whose persecutions are not over. I am the holy patron of the Church where Jesus resides; Peace in the great storm that is moving towards the earth. I have immense power for all of you, near and far, for my dear protégés whose protector I am.
My children, Friends of the Cross, the Beloved establishes me guardian of your chastity, guardian of your virtues, by the graces that I receive from the Beloved and His Blessed Mother.
Now I stop, covering you with my protective mantle. You who suffer, come to me, you who cry, you who need graces, pray to me, I am full of tenderness! My children, with the Beloved and His Holy Mother, I have all the gifts for all the afflicted, for all the exiles, for all the young souls, the young plants growing (seminarians preparing) for the priesthood. My face is just a ray of light that repeats to you with its word: 'Yes, yes, yes, my little children!'
I am also the great protector of the souls in Purgatory. Often I inspire devotion for these suffering souls. They are so good, these expiating souls! Their desire is so ardent to enjoy heaven that I often gather immense graces from the prayers of my servants, and I send them to these poor captive souls. Their joy for their benefactors, their joy, I could not repay.
Children of the Divine Bridegroom and of His Blessed Mother and protected by me, I bless you with my Holy Spouse, according to all your desires. These graces will have their realization in time promised by the Beloved whose power is infinite; these graces will be great, powerful and without proportion for the salvation of souls and the propagation of an ardent faith.”
