Joseph Before the Birth of Jesus - Visions of Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich

[@donnadavid1276]

How beautiful is our Catholic Church that throughout the ages Our Father has revealed those hidden things to so many Catholic Saints. Thank you for this reading and may we all be Blessed enough to follow the example of the Holy Family by giving Reverance to God everyday, respecting each other in our families, and loving our neighbors as ourselves. Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception pray for us 🙏🙏🙏

[@TruthoftheSpirit]

So true! Thanks for watching.

Such a beautiful narrative. Thank God.

@@renpaul5510 Thank God now and forever! Glad you found us!

[@terrysimmons5523]

How does this compare to the proto evangelium of St. James? Some details differ. Which story of how Joseph was chosen to be Mary’s spouse is true? I’m trying so hard to learn but want to make sure of what is taught by Holy Mother Church.

[@donnadavid1276]

@@terrysimmons5523 i don't think that what was revealed to Blessed Anne was meant to contradict Sacred Scripture but only to fill in personal charecteristics of the Holy Family. The Sacred Scriptures were written more for instruction for us to teach us how to live and teach us about the personality, character, and hesrt of God the Father, Jesus Our Lord, and the Holy Spirit from the Old and New Testament. I think Our Lord reveals things to different Saints and Blessed people in order for all of us to be able to recognize the humanity of the Holy Family as well as their love for and devotion to God. This way too we can use them as an example for our own families as we all strive to stay in a state of grace and keep following the narrow road to heaven. OUR LADY OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION PRAY FOR US🙏🙏🙏 SAINT JOSEPH PRAY FOR US🙏🙏🙏

[@MrCarmelocutajar]

Marvelous! I believe the story of St. Joseph as originated by Anne Catherine Emmerich. I appreciate the narrator who spoke non stop for 46 minutes with a never-ending smile. Fine! St. Joseph must be much pleased with this outcome. He blesses all those who took part in this video.

[@MrCarmelocutajar]

I would like to know the name of the narrator. could you please supply me with it? Thanks.

I am very much moved by your beautiful narration. This is the first time to hear a story about St. Joseph. I am also excited and overjoyed when I learned about the espousal of St Joseph and the Blessed Virgin that took place on January 23. My daughter Luisa and her fiancé Pancho are getting married on the same day, January 23, 2021. This becomes more meaningful and significant for both our families. God bless you!

@@TruthoftheSpirit I know that. But my love for our Lord is fraternal, familial and filial, and if you want to take it to the extreme, servile. I’m not sure I can (or am allowed to) love Him in a paternal sense. But my comment was that St. Joseph definitely had that right and privilege as His earthly father. Peace be to you. ✝️

[@adrianbennett9875]

You should not pray to any saint the scriptures does not teach you to do that did anybody in the scripture ever pray to a saint from Moses to Jesus or better yet from Enoch to Jesus Christ did anyone of them ever pray to a saint? No they did not you people need to stop allowing yourself to be so carried away by religion and religious ideologies that make no sense and does not line up with scriptures. Believe the scriptures obey the scriptures and do as the scriptures teach.

[@eiffeltower5000]

St. Joseph never said a word in the Bible because his heart was full of God. He was self emptying. He was only concerned on how to please God all the time.

I’ve always been interested in more info in St Joseph. How do we know this information?

[@TruthoftheSpirit]

This episode of Truth of the Spirit was taken from the spiritual visions of Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich. There is very little in the scripture about St. Joseph. You might find other references by investigating the bibliography of "THE VIRGINITY OF SAINT JOSEPH IN THE LATIN FATHERS AND MEDIEVAL ECCLESIASTICAL WRITERS by Florent Raymond Bilodeau, A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the School of Theology, St. Mary’s University, Baltimore, Maryland. He researched the Latin Fathers of the Church and Testimony from the Medieval Ecclesiastical Writers--which is quite extensive! His dissertation is available online on the Oblates of St. Joseph website.

Patron of the Catholic Church is a merited title by St Joseph. He is also the Patron of ALL MEN, particularly fathers!

I am currently reading The Life of St Joseph, the interior thoughts by mystic Maria Cecelia Baij. Much leaves me wondering as to the truthfulness. Your reading, however, includes several things contained in both, some contradictory. I don't know what to believe at times .

[@TruthoftheSpirit]

Private revelation is not required to be believed as a tenant of our faith but it can help us in growing closer to the Lord. Sometimes what the prophet sees or hears is "flavored" by their own beliefs. That is why the Church calls us to discern such words. Even the Gospels can seem to contradict each other when compared word for word but the Truth of Sacred Scripture is not contradicted only the manner in which it is expressed. For example, was man created before trees [Genesis Ch. 1] or after trees [Genesis Ch. 2]?

[@hotlap420]

Yes

[@leosmith8596]

The angel tells Joseph to go to Bethlehem, but the Bible says that they needed to because of the census?

[@TruthoftheSpirit]

Yes, scripture says their trip was to register in the census. Anne Catherine's vision relates that Joseph had delayed the trip to register in Bethlehem and that the Angel instructed him it was time to go--even though Mary's delivery time was near. In current times with modern transportation women who are near their due date are instructed not to travel!
