Day 18 - Consecration to Saint Joseph

Litany of Saint JosephV6  – 9.26.1904 “My daughter, not only was the Crowning with Thorns Triple, but almost All the Pains I Suffered in My Passion were Triple. Triple  were the three Hours of Agony in the Garden;  Triple  was the Scourging, as they scourged Me with three different types of lashes; three times did they strip Me, and as many as three times was I condemned to death: at nighttime, early in the morning, and in broad daylight.  Triple  were My Falls under the Cross;  Triple the nails; three times did My Heart pour out Blood: in the Garden by Itself; in the Act of the Crucifixion from Its very Center, when I was stretched well on the Cross—So Much So that My Body was all  dislocated  and  My  Heart  was  smashed  inside  and  poured  out Blood;  and  after  My  Death,  when  My  Side  was  opened  with  a lance.  Triple  were the  three  hours of Agony  on the  Cross.  If one Wanted to ruminate on everything—oh, how many  ‘Triples’  he would find! And this was not by chance, but everything was so because of Divine Disposition, to Render the Glory Due to the Father Complete, as well as the Reparation owed to Him by creatures and the Good to be Earned for creatures themselves. In fact, the Greatest Good that the creature has Received from God was being Created in  His Image and  Likeness, and  Endowed with  three  Powers—intellect,  memory  and  will—and  there  is  no sin that the creature commits in which these three Powers do not  concur.  So,  she  stains and  disfigures  the  Beautiful Divine Image that she contains within herself, using the Gift to Offend the Giver.  And I, in order to Restore this Divine Image in the creature and to Give God All the Glory that the creature owed Him, Concurred with All My Intellect, All My Memory and All My Will, in a Special Way with these  ‘Triples’  Suffered by Me, in order to Render both the Glory Due to the Father and the Good which was  Necessary  for  creatures  Complete.” Book of Heaven - Luisa Piccarreta “Consecration to St. Joseph: The Wonders of Our Spiritual Father”by Father Donald CallowayBuddy Comfort - vocals and guitar from the album, "Brother Sun, Sister Moon", http://www.buddycomfort.com, words and music by Donovan Leitch.For more information: [email protected] Support the show
