Lent is a moment, children, for coming to know Christ again, to recognize Him with a new gaze, a gaze with neither veils nor fears so that you may know who He is and who you are as you stand before Him, what you are called to experience upon facing the Son of God.
Many are those who walk at the side of Christ, eat from His Body, drink from His Blood, participate in His wonders and hear His Words; but few are those who look at the Lord without veils before their eyes, without walls before their hearts and know Who He is, and also discover themselves before Him.
But Lent is this moment, for in it the Lord says to you: "I Am that I Am, I Am He Who Is; One with God, the very God made Man and Spirit."
And in hearing this revelation of the Son of God, your eyes open so that you can not only recognize Him but also recognize yourselves.
Lent is a moment for deciding to seek Christ and to experience the revelation of His Presence; let yourself be flooded by His mysteries and transformed by His Love. Or else, children, let yourselves see Him pass by and do wonders, see how hearts are transformed upon listening to Him and even so they remain blind and deaf to Him.
Choose life, life in Christ, life in Truth, life in the freedom from yourselves. Choose the fading of the dust.
Do not cling to yourselves, to your virtues and skills, to your convictions and knowledge, to your minds and beliefs. Cling to Christ, to His Celestial Truth, to His Presence, to His Life.
This is the meaning of Lent: to prepare and to define oneself in Christ.
You have My blessing for that.
The Most Chaste Saint Joseph
Wherever there is a heart that struggles to win itself over, God will be there helping its footsteps.
Wherever there is a heart willing to overcome itself in love, so that a greater love may emerge within itself, God will be there helping its footsteps.
Wherever there is a heart that prays sincerely and begs for the redemption and transformation of its miseries, God will be there helping its footsteps.
The Lord will turn each one of your falls into a greater impulse for the strengthening of your spirit; He will turn your miseries into a greater impulse so that your spirit may live humility and detachment from your skills. The Lord will make your weaknesses the reason for His constant surveillance. And everything that made you weak before, will strengthen you. Everything that made you miserable before, will be converted.
His tests will become a trampoline for human evolution and for the renewal of Divine Creation.
It is enough that the hearts ask for divine assistance in everything. And that they do everything within their reach to sincerely fulfill the Plans of God. Even if they are not perfect and feel like a sea of misery, the Lord will pour everything into the ocean of His Mercy. It is enough to know how to surrender to God.
Your Father and Friend,
Saint Joseph Most Chaste
