THE PROMISES OF THE CASTISSIMO HEART OF SAN GIUSEPPE

From May 2, 1994 until May 2, 1998, the Most Holy Virgin, through heavenly apparitions, communicated messages of peace, love and conversion to the young Edson Glauber and her mother Maria Do Carmo. Messages that are intended for the whole world. In these apparitions many times they were pardoned also with visions of Jesus, Saint Joseph, Saints and Angels. The first appearance took place in their residence in ManausAmazon on May 2, 1994. The first person to see Our Lady was the mother, Maria Do Carmo. At the beginning of these apparitions, Our Lady communicated with Edson by means of internal locutions, but at the end of the month of May 1994 she began to manifest herself visibly too and appeared to him every day. In many apparitions Jesus and Our Lady revealed to Edson and his mother, through heavenly messages, the great pain of their most holy Hearts and concern for the current situation in the world, which lately has been walking on roads that lead to violence, sin and death. They drew attention to the world: many people are victims of the violence that is growing more and more every day, especially towards the defenseless and innocent people; they drew attention to war and hunger. Adultery and divorce are destroying many families that are true house churches; abortion, the great attack and crime against human life; homosexuality and promiscuity that destroy the family dignity and Christian morality of each individual. In their apparitions in Itapiranga, Jesus and Our Lady revealed many concerns and taught effective means to combat so many evils, that is, the daily recitation of the Rosary, the frequency of the Holy Sacraments, adoration to the Sacramented Jesus, living deeply the Gospel, seeking daily personal conversion of heart, fasting and penance, and helping those who need Christian and moral light and assistance, evangelizing all men who have not yet opened their hearts to God and do not know his immense love of Father. During the apparitions that took place in Itapiranga (Amazonia, Brazil), Jesus and Mary expressed the desire that the Holy Father, the Pope, recognize the devotion to the Most Chaste Heart of Saint Joseph. This devotion must be honored in a particular way on the first Wednesdays of the month with proper prayers and due sacramental preparation such as Confession and Holy Communion. All this was requested in the message of May 2, 1997, sent to Edson by the Madonna. This devotion is therefore widespread throughout the world so that the Holy Trinity is glorified through the united Hearts of Jesus, Mary and Joseph, which are true models of holiness and which God has placed in the world to be an example to all families. This devotion to the Heart of St. Joseph, combined with that of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary is a devotion only in the three Hearts, just as the Holy Trinity is one God in three distinct Persons. With the devotion to the three Hearts of Jesus, Mary and Joseph completes that triune devotion that God Our Lord wanted so much, thus realizing all that Jesus and the Virgin had begun since the most distant apparitions. On December 25, 1996, Edson Glauber received the grace of a beautiful apparition of the Holy Family. In this apparition Jesus and Mary presented to him for the first time the Most Chaste Heart of St. Joseph, which should be loved and honored by all men. Jesus and Mary showed him their Most Holy Hearts and pointed to the Most Chaste Heart of St. Joseph with their hands. From their Most Holy Hearts rays of light came out that went to the Heart of Saint Joseph and from Saint Joseph these rays were scattered over all humanity. Edson explains what Jesus and the Virgin revealed to him about this apparition: «The rays that start from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary and that go to the Heart of St. Joseph are all the graces and blessings, the virtues, the holiness and the love he received from their Most Holy Hearts when he was on this earth and which he continues to receive in heavenly glory. St. Joseph currently shares all these favors with all those who are devoted to him and who honor his Most Chaste Heart through this devotion willed by God our Lord.
