@LIZZIE-lizzie5 жыл бұрын
@ Donna D People are so quick in speaking negatively of our Saints, and Our Lady, so I ask them, before you say anymore why don't you ask Jesus to come into your heart? Let Jesus make you aware of His truth. Of course Jesus knows if one is sincere and if they truly wanted to know, they would've asked Jesus a long time ago. But they never do, they never ask Jesus, from their hearts, to show them anything - what we know to be His truths. Our family of Catholic Saints are as real as you and me. All we hve to do is ask. Make a devotion to a favorite Saint, pray their LITANY and tell me you don't feel the presence of that Saint. Watch another Saint come behind that Saint and recommend themself to you, as the Saints know what we are most in need of. It happens all the time if we let it, but in their cemented negativity rather than ask Jesus, they think they know more than Jesus. SMH

St. Joseph is the third most powerful and important Saint in Heaven, after Jesus and Mary, as The Father literally made St. Joseph lord of His heart. EVERYthing the Eternal Father holds precious and dear within His heart, The Eternal Father gave to St. Joseph. St Joseph is so kind, so understanding of what we must follow in life, through GREAT CONFIDENCE submit our will to His Holy Will, which is Endless Divine Love and treasury of compassion which is unfathomable . Love and Mercy, itself.

@@RezaChity-G THE FIRST FAMILY, is JESUS, MARY and JOSEPH. THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY sits to the left of Gods' throne, JESUS to His right. God literally put His heart in the hands of SAINT JOSEPH and made SAINT JOSEPH Lord of all He holds sacred in His heart in Heaven and on earth. That would be THE FAMILY, husband, wife and kids and the UNITY of family! When ST. JOSEPH opened his eyes before him was THE SON OF GOD and THE MOTHER OF GOD. ST. JOSEPH probably had 47,000 strokes. Can you imagine the demons ST. JOSEPH encountered physically AND SPIRITUALLY?? ST. JOSEPH HAD TO FOLLOW GODS' EVERY WORD!!! Personally, I don't think it was so easy. JESUS CHRIST is the first born in the family of God which makes us all brothers and sisters of JESUS CHRIST. Have you never heard THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY IS OUR MOTHER, as well? And ST. JOSEPH, who God chose to be HEAD OF THE HOLY FAMILY, JESUS' FATHER on earth, IS VERY POWERFUL!! Considering God chose SAINT JOSEPH to be His father on earth, I would think SAINT JOSEPH to be VERY POWERFUL, in my not so humble opinion. From personal experience I KNOW he is. Why don't you go to SAINT JOSEPH and find out for yourself, or ask JESUS to come into your heart, from your heart and have JESUS show you of His chosen father on earth, SAINT JOSEPH? In Jesus' name, God bless you.

Evil has put a dense fog over humanity - humanity being swept along in this swift current of mediocrity, not seeing bad in anything they are doing. We have only two choices in this world, Spiritual growth or withdrawal from the Divine Presence. FAITH is the great miracle of JESUS' love towards man himself. The FAITH of His children is support in every instance! We need FAMILIES in the church. We need husbands and wives raising their children under God. There is a very powerful phrase not seen often, today and we need to see and hear this phrase all the time, THE FAMILY THAT PRAYS TOGETHER STAYS TOGETHER. God bless you 🙏❤

I don't think that Pio Zammit was equating Joseph to Mary, he was just using the prayer structure of the Hail Mary to venerate Saint Joseph, who is the most powerful of saints. Mary is our Queen, the highest created being, and He is the Husband of our Queen, truly to be venerated and adored as well. It is good to be wary but if you look at the prayer carefully, there is nothing in my opinion that is equating saint Joseph to Our Holy Virgin. Thank you for sharing! and God bless You all!

Let's not judge lest we should be judged. Those who have no understanding where religion is concerned need to go to God, our eternal Father, for understanding. God is unity. The devil seeks to divide and separate. In these "end of days" we are living in, we who KNOW JESUS and have Him in our hearts need to act more like Jesus and pray that our hearts are made like unto the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Not pushing others away but by directing our actions to God, in the face of 'their' adversity. There are PLENTY of examples in the OLD TESTAMENT where Gods' chosen didn't go to THE FATHER for one relatively simple thing, and they were screwed. MOSES didn't get to cross The Jordan, after leading his people through the desert for forty years because God told Moses HOW to give His people water from a rock, a second time. The second time water came from the rock but MOSES DIDN'T DO IT THE WAY GOD TOLD HIM TO. Before we speak and especially before we act, go to JESUS first. There's NO CONFUSION with Gods' word(s). Wait for it..... and then act. He may have you do nothing but keep on cleaning up a bad mess, but YOU WILL GET HIS MESSAGE. Sometimes we can't see what God wants until it's over. GO TO GOD FIRST, before you act upon anything. You can't lead another to God, or have one believe in JESUS if you don't first take His word to action - your faith to deed. THANK YOU, SAINT JOSEPH! ST. JOSEPH WE LOVE YOU!! ST. JOSEPH WE TRUST IN YOU!!!

Joseph Sanctified Immediately After Conception Because of His Place in the Order of the Hypostatic Union It is now an article of our Faith that the Blessed Virgin by a singular privilege was prevented by grace and preserved in entire immunity from original sin. From Holy Scripture we also learn that some souls through the divine predilection, as those of Jeremias and of the Baptist, were sanctified before they saw the light of day. Now, what shall we say of Joseph? Since in dignity and holiness he is inferior to Mary, we cannot assume with any certainty that God granted to him the same privilege as to her; and the Church has never made any utterance on the subject. Still, Joseph surpasses all the other saints in dignity and sanctity; we are, therefore, free to conjecture that, although this is not signified in Scripture, he must have been sanctified before his birth earlier than any of them, for all the holy doctors agree in saying that there was no grace conceded to any other saint, except Mary, which was not granted to Joseph. As Mary, above all, was nearest to Jesus, so Joseph was nearest to Mary; and for the sake of Jesus, and also for Mary’s sake, we may justly conclude that to Joseph must have been conceded a privilege second only to hers. [Joseph was created to be associated with the Incarnation and the decree of redemption. His noble geneaology was pre-announced in Scripture.] Now, in order to correspond to so lofty a vocation, which, after that of the Virgin Mother, was superior to all others, whether of angels or saints, Joseph must needs have been sanctified in a most eminent degree, that he might be worthy to take his place in this most sublime order of the Hypostatic Union, in which Jesus held the first place and Mary the second. [His was the third place, forming the trinity on earth.] (Edward Healy Thompson, M.A., THE LIFE AND GLORIES OF SAINT JOSEPH, Tan Books and Publishers, Rockford, IL, 1980, Pgs. 41-42.)
