The first man was called Adam and the man par excellence is called Jesus. Jesus had to remake what Adam had undone. He had to open for us the gates of Heaven that had been closed because of Adam's sin.
I am St. Joseph, spouse of Mary Most Holy, putative father of Jesus, my God and Lord and my Divine Son. I lived with the Redeemer, I heard his breathing in his cradle, I saw his games, his kind and humble gaze, I had the immense good fortune to live with the Redeemer and take care of him personally. No one can imagine the immense greatness that this fact meant to me.
Every day I was amazed to feel that I was chosen to protect and guide the Holy Family. I was a simple and very honest man. Our Lady loved me immensely, but very chastely, just as I loved her. We both meditated together on the great Mystery of Christ: His Incarnation. And seeing us as His protectors and His legitimate parents, our hearts rejoiced immensely, giving unceasing thanks to God.
I Joseph was a humble artisan, barely earning enough for daily sustenance, (1) but we were happy because we had the Son of God with us, sharing our poverty, our indigence and our love.
We were destitute more of our own free will than anything else, because we gave almost all our income and never allowed our Son to lack the most elementary things.
Ours was a school of love. We knew that the Eternal Father was looking at us with complacency and on many occasions we saw Our Infant Jesus talking to Him in prayer.
We learned many things from Him, above all, true humility by the annihilation that the Child Jesus made of His divine rank. He did not want to show Himself as Messiah until His hour came, an hour that I did not see.
I am Patron of the good death and I wish that you invoke me as such for you and for your dying. I never disregard the petitions that you make to me for the dying because that last hour must be reinforced with more prayer and faith than ever.
I speak to you in these last times so that you may count on me in difficult moments and, if I was a witness of the First Coming of Christ, now I want to be a blessed one that you can count on for the Second Coming that many of you who read this message will see.
In my Heaven, together with Jesus and Mary, I, Joseph, will be waiting for you after each one of you has passed the test that God will give you, before entering eternity. Peace to you. Praise God.
(1) In another message it says that St. Joseph was not paid for many of the works he did.
