Messages of Saint Joseph

To love your neighbor, you must be humble of heart. There is no true love that is not born of the source of Divine Humility, because true love does not seek returns or merits, does not create ownership or property, does not expect to be loved to love, does not expect others to be perfect to then love them.

True love is the one that recognizes the essence of each being, that knows what each one is, that is nothing like what they seem to be. For this reason, I tell you that in order to love, you must be humble.

It is not simple - for a humanity that always cultivated pride, recognition and superiority - to live a love that does not bring returns visible to human eyes.

This love has its true merit in the life of the spirit. Even though you love somebody that hates you and who never wanted to receive your love, that invisible experience will remain marked in the human consciousness.

I know that all of you aspire to love as Christ; all aspire to achieve the degrees of surrender of His Sacred Heart, even though only a few truly believe that they will achieve this, because they do not believe in their own striving and courage, because you do not know yourselves and believe that, with the knowledge of your superficial and material life, it is enough to know what you can offer God and what you cannot.

Children, My eyes contemplate the Earth and find you transparent. I see in you something that you never knew, and I know that if you came to this world, it was not just because of a great mistake committed in the universe, but also because of a great potential to love. What happens is that ancient human pride stops you from being humble, of asking for forgiveness from others and from yourselves, of giving without receiving, of surrendering everything and not wanting anything.

One who dares to have a minimal experience of love and forgiveness, as I have asked of you so many times, and who is not afraid to be empty of self so as to recognize their own errors, will see before them the door to their own liberation. There is no greater freedom than loving without conditions, than gifting without the need to receive.

The greatest prison of humanity is the constant search for results, for recognition and for the superficial love of others.

You spend the greater part of your lives struggling to be "somebody," when in truth, you are here to be "nobody." It is for this reason, My beloved ones, that true joy is known to few, and wholeness to almost nobody.

Christ, Who came to the world to give you an example, was awaited as a king and came as a wanderer. And even after having performed many wonders, He surrendered everything into the Hands of God, even His own Life, on dying on the Cross.

Today, I leave you one only key: in order to truly love, you must be humble.

Your father and friend,

The Most Chaste Saint Joseph
