About One Week Later...
In early October, 1956, about a week after Our Lady's first appearance, St. Joseph, though I did not see him at this time, spoke to me the following words:
"It is true my daughter, that immediately after my conception, I was, through the future merits of Jesus and because of my exceptional role of future Virgin-Father, cleansed from the stain of original sin."
"I was from that moment confirmed in grace and never had the slightest stain on my soul. This is my unique privilege among men.
"My pure heart also was from the first moment of existence inflamed with love for God. Immediately, at the moment when my soul was cleansed from original sin, grace was infused into it in such abundance that, excluding my holy spouse, I surpassed the holiness of the highest angel in the angelic choir.
"My heart suffered with the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. Mine was a silent suffering, for it was my special vocation to hide and shield as long as God willed, the Virgin Mother and Son from the malice and hatred of men."
"The most painful of my sorrows was that I knew beforehand of their passion, yet would not be there to console them."
"Their future suffering was ever present to me and became my daily cross. I became, in union with my holy spouse, co-redemptor of the human race. Through compassion for the sufferings of Jesus and Mary I co-operated, as no other, in the salvation of the world."

I was amazed to see the new message from Mirjana at Medugorje being so familiar to the previous comment made by Larry from Rome City in 2001. "Do not be afraid" seems to be a resonating tone lately.
R U Prepared?
And I love the promises that are given about honoring St. Joseph on the first Wednesday of the month (today) with mass and the recitation of the Joyful mysteries, remembering how he was present in these mysteries:
"Let my children honor my most pure heart in a special manner on the First Wednesday of the month by reciting the Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary in memory of my life with Jesus and Mary and the love I bore them, the sorrow I suffered with them. Let them receive Holy Communion in union with the love with which I received the Savior for the first time and each time I held him in my arms.
"Those who honor me in this way will be consoled by my presence at their death, and I myself will conduct them safely into the presence of Jesus and Mary."
I have not read the Medj "messages" much myself, but it does seem that I am seeing the phrase "Do Not Be Afraid" more and more lately. I am beginning to think something is brewing.
I went back and read the SpiritDaily archive with the article about Larry who owns this place and what he said in 2001. Why hasn't anyone picked up on this before now? Is it because he says he isn't a "mystic"? If so, why should anyone care what Christina Gallagher or John Leary or anyone else says?
I tend to think this guy is right on target with his "message" (if that's what it is called).
