| Fifth
Day
Use it of the time
‘' Pretium Sanguins are; It is the price of Blood! ‘'
(S.Mathieu, XXVII, 6.)
The Customer
Here I am to the second part of my novena, and I feel the quick
need to thank you for the good lessons hoes convenient that
you have just given me on the four cardinal virtues. But, dear
Saint, I would be anxious to hear to tell you what you think
a lot of people of the world whom ‘'S kill the time! '
'
Saint Joseph
What I think And well, I confess you that it is a crime!
The customer
How it!
Saint Joseph
There is not anything briefer and of more precious than the
time, although say some certain of the worldly, for that goods
of the hours are of a despairing length, and that waste their
lives yet: blinded that they are by the ‘' fascination
of the trifle. ‘' (Wisdom, IV,12) known speaks the Saint
Mind.
Yes, dear customer, life, even for a centenary, is short; she/it
is composed of the past that is not anymore, of a future that
is not and won't be maybe ever, and of the present moment that
holds more nothing than of the being, because he/it looks strong
like the snowball that a hot hand made melt quickly. Then holy
Paul says rightly: ‘' brief tempus is (! Corinthians,
VII,29): Quickly, all pass quickly! ' '
And in spite of his/her/its speed to the triple gallop, the
time has an eternal value, therefore infinite in price..
The customer
How to explain that a thing so fast either d,une eternal and
infinite value, there is contradiction,
Saint Joseph
Listen to my thought: The doctors teach that him no reasonable
and free act exists, an act humane, that has for effect is to
add to the merits, either to aggravate his/her/its author's
damnation, depending on whether it is good or bad. The damned
twist in an eternal and sterile despair in the middle of the
flames of the hell, because they confess to have wasted their
time, reason of their everlasting odium. And the saints, in
particular holy Bernardin of Siena, o.f.m. my brother in religion
said rightly: ‘' The time is worth as much as God, ‘'
since one exchanges it by the good Christian, supernatural use,
that one makes to of it, against the eternal possession, vision,
love of the Very Beatifying Trinidad. Therefore the time has
an infinite value in spite of his/her/its frightening speed.
There is more.
The customer
Complete your thought, good Saint, I pray you.
Saint Joseph
Considered to the viewpoint of the employment that one must
had make the after the Creator's plan, your life must turn into
ligots of gold with which you will buy the paradise. If you
remember that, it is the Divine Crucified of Mount Calvary that
got you by his/her/its infinite pains the grace to deserve to
every instant by the good use of his/her/its graces ‘'
fructifying thus for God, ‘' (Romans, VII,4); conclude
that every hour is a drop of the Precious Blood: and is worth
what she/it cost to Jesus; therefore Sanguinis pretium is: it
is the price of a God's Blood; infinite value.
The customer
Oh! If I had known!
Saint Joseph
Hey well, don't waste this treasure anymore. First avoid all
voluntary sin. Make then well for God, by supernatural motive,
the whole although he/it requires or will require You, from
here the eternal rest; because one even wastes his/her/its time
while making the good: either while disregarding his/her/its
duty of state; either while making the although God doesn't
want us; either while acting for the vanity, while even producing
virtuous acts; witness the virgins mad of the gospel.
The customer
Then how well to make the good
Saint Joseph
Give yourselves the pain to really make every thing, in time,
in order, calmly, for God, even smallest duties. Don't believe
that the multiplicity of the things is always required; of wants
the mistake of Marthe saint. He/it is not required to make vivid
things; a lot of saints, the T.S.Vierge Marie herself, in made
never, replissez times per minutes your duty, as the Lord by
himself, or his/her/its Church, or your parents and superior,
ask you; make it with humilities and love of God in the heart,
accurateness in the mode to act, perseverance in the execution;
then you will be crowned after the particular judgment, because
you will have fought lawfully.
The customer
It is this precious favor that I am going to solicit my celestial
Mother in succession, while throwing Him of the bottom of my
heart the supplications of his/her/its litanies. |

6
day
The purity
‘' That diligit cordis munditiam, habebit amicum Regem '
' That likes the purity of the heart, will have the King for friend.
' ' (Proverbs, XXVI,II)
Saint Joseph
In this sixth day of your novena, we are going to speak of the
angelic virtue, of the one that makes of his/her/its serious customers
the emulators of the Cherubs,: the purity. I had to this topic
shiest assaults of the hell during my terrestrial life; and me
then to tell you with convenient knowledge, that no one is exempt
of fight on this point. The purity is not the cold callousness
of the marble statue: she/it cannot be since Adam's sin the absence
of desires and disorganized passions. She/it is the lily in the
middle of the thorns; to protect itself/themselves, to live and
to bloom, she/it requires the constant sacrifices, a persistent
prayer, the mortification of the heart, of the eyes, the affections,
readings, the pleasures of liqueurs and the good dear; she/it
only keeps herself/itself to the shade of Marie's virginal coat,
she/it only eats the blood of the Jesus lamb and his/her/its divine
speech; she/it doesn't admit around evening anything and no one
that is very good.
The customer
Evidently it must be well difficult, good Saint, to remain pure
è to such price, this virtue must be of an inexpressible
value
Saint Joseph
With the grace of God and the Christian prudence, it becomes comfortable,
because God doesn't order the impossible, But in your century,
one is soft and imprudent to the excess, the parents loosen their
surveillance, and Satan benefits from this.
The customer
As to be prudent, good Saint
Saint Joseph
Already have yourselves seen lying on the floor, in the middle
of the flowers innocents of a meadow, the viper with the flat
head, to the two treacherous eyes, somnolent in appearance, but
full of a deadly venom! If a robin has the misfortune to fix his/her/its
eyes there, he is lost. The view of the snake fascinates it, the
terror and attracts it all at once. And has that while uttering
screams of fright, he/it does acrobatics of branch in branch,
descends more and more mysteriously attracted toward the awful
beast; this one throws its glamorous look, the robin always approaches
while moaning: he/it is finally in the middle of the daisies and
rustic poppies. He/it will finally take a rest! One second…
and of a jump the monster approaches, open the muzzle and there
is the sunk daring bird. The customer
What horror! Be this possible!
Saint Joseph
There is the fate that waits for those that don't want, under
pretext of excessive severity, to follow the régime of
the chaste, of which I spoke higher. You will be this robin, if
you are not warned against a double sensualism:
1 - the moral sensualism: softness of the character that the related
and main didn't either form rectified; life of supposed funs to
the world; Lightness of the books that is not always worst out
of place, honest affections but non Christians; too frequent or
too free relations between young people and girls.
2 - the physical sensualism: that means to know anything never
how to suffer, to want to go without from nothing: there is the
preamble of the sin, there is anemia preparing the tuberculosis!
The customer
One is going to take me for a monk or a names, if I live thus
aside from the other!
Saint Joseph
Let say: there are there for you a matter of life and death for
your existence on earth and for your eternal future.
The customer
How it, good Saint,
Saint Joseph
Without chastity not of love of God ‘' That likes the purity
of the heart, will have the King for friend ' ' (Proverbs, XXII,11)
Without chastity not of respect of the society to your consideration:
one estimates those that carry on their features the honesty,
ingenuousness and the modesty here below only. Without chastity
not of true life. Yes, not of intellectual life for you, young
student, because intelligence is only lucid if the heart is pure;
how want to have you the shred of the science in a brain, smoky
home, that would receive like food that of the putrid matters!
The impurity is homicidal, intelligence is his/her/its first victim,
and the heart in is the second. The Saint Mind said ‘' well
vecordem juvenem the young without heart ‘' (Proverb, VII,7):
pure, he/it liked his, impure he/it is selfish, hard; Why! he/it
covets, he/it doesn't like anymore. He/it has the instinct of
the beast, he/it has the ‘appetites ' vecordem of it, without
heart ' ' will is the third victim: queen she/it was, when she/it
was pure, because without ashamed ties; not serving God anymore,
she/it doesn't reign anymore on his; she/it is a slave, she/it
has yoke, she/it has a canker that devours it and that says ‘'
never that is enough. ' '
The customer
Wanting to be elected at the sky to all price, oh good Saint,
help me to watch over my eyes, on my ears, on my words, on my
heart, on my steps, and on my setting. And the purity helping
my intelligence and keeping my will, please grant me success in
my future exam.
Saint Joseph
Now address yourselves to the Queen of the Virgins, and recite
his/her/its litanies.

Seventh
day
The faith
""Strong in fide: Farms in the faith ‘' (Ipierre,v.9.)
Saint Joseph
‘' I believe, I believe, I don't want something else that
the holy foi…L'homme of faith can what it wants, when it
only wants what it must. God cannot lie; his/her/its words are
true in the eternity; and that has the faith is the master of
the world. ' ' Telles are some of my words, lorsqu I was pilgrim
and traveler as you on earth, the valley of the shades and tears.
The customer
Dear Saint, it is probably in relation with the virtue of faith,
that place had, in 1649, the famous miracle that operated the
conversion of the Lutheran Jean-Frédéric Due sérénissime
of Brunswick and Hanover, of which the engraving, embellishes
the first page of my novena opuscule.
Saint Joseph
You say rightly, here are the facts, In 1649, Jean-Frédéric,
spouse of Henriette of Bavaria, aged of 25 years, made his/her/its
tour of Europe, he/it came to Rome: attracted then by the noise
of my miracles, stayed to Foundation. The Father Custode of the
Basilica (that keeps the Body of N.S.P.S.François again)
received a confidential letter of pope Innocent X (1644-1655)
asking him to put this prince in relation with me. One Sunday,
without my knowledge, he/it attended my Mass, celebrated in the
chapel withdrawn from the former novitiate. At the time of the
fraction of the Saint Host, I uttered a big scream, flew in airs
and fell in ecstasy. It was only with a lot of efforts that I
can break the Body consecrated the Christ. The prince was hit:
he/it asked for the reason of these events to the Father Custode,
that I answered then: ‘' The people that you sent me this
morning have the hard heart, they don't believe everything that
our Saint Mother believes the church; it is for this motive that
the lamb, become hard under my fingers, could not split up. '
' After hesitations and interviews with me, Monday according to
the Prince comes again to my Mass. At the time of the elevation,
appeared on the surface of the host a black cross, that was seen
of all helpers; I was raised in air, finding me over to a palm
of height to the of the walk-foot of the altar, and according
to The host in the heaven. Jean-Frédéric felt then
greatly shaken but resisted again, However ‘' the roebuck
was wounded, and I didn't rejoice ‘' of it! An interview
with me followed, I gave him the cord of François saint
(1) while telling to him ""Goes, I bound you for the
paradise, Pray to the altar of François saint, attend Complies,
make the procession, and make everything that you will see making
to the religious humbly. ‘' The prince obeys. Assisted then
of the Cardinal Facchinettis and Rapacciolis, they prostrated
before the Very Saint Sacrament, and ‘' a resonant voice
he/it exclaimed: ‘' The King of the world is adored in this
church, there I also confess and believe all things that confess
and believes the church Roman. ' '
In 1650, the following year, the prince came back to Foundation
and made his/her/its public abjuration and stayed always excellent
Catholic.
The customer
One! The marvelous prodigy!
Saint Joseph
You also, my son, believe heart and confess publicly in all, everywhere,
by your words, private and social and political and domestic œuvres,
the Roman faith, received in your baptism. The faith would not
know to consist, to justify your soul and to deserve you to see
God eternally, in a simple confidence in his/her/its mercy, nor
in the unlimited virtue of the merits of the Christ Jésus,
nor in the religion natural of the honest man, nor in the system
of vague and variable convictions of some scientists, it doesn't
consist in this idea that ‘' maybe ' ' the Catholic church
says truly, nor in the belief of will and the human intelligence
to nearly all dogmas; it is the firm adherence of your mind and
will, because of God's veracity, to all truths revealed by the
Lord and taught by the real Church, the Saint Church of Rome,;
truths contained in the Saint Writing and the Tradition; proposed
truths to your belief by the legitimate pastors, either by a solemn
definition, either by their unanimous, daily and universal predication.
The customer
One! the holy faith, I prefer to be deprived of the bodily life
rather than to lose my faith!
Saint Joseph
Happy will be you, dear customer, to persevere in similar arrangements!
The faith is the true light for your intelligence, the support
for your weakness, the protective shield of your will the source
of the merits, the true consolation in the pains: but she/it must
be cultivated by the frequent receipt of the Sacraments; the docile
audition of the sermons. Readings, strong, healthy and really
Catholic,; the very necessary habit to recite the act of faith,
especially to live his/her/its faith, to live according to the
mind of faith. It is also necessary for you to preserve it, dear
customer,; the Demon lion roaring tries to devour her and him
to use the wolves: wolves in appearance of wolf: the heresy, the
schism, freemasonry and their propagators; wolves also to sheepskins,
I want to say people, books, bantering speeches and to half skeptics
who throw ' ' powders it to the eyes ' ' and distill to come him
of the doubt; I want to say as some associations and societies
to the scientific, charitable, neutral, insignificant appearance;
societies of pleasure or study, of baths, etc, like the Y.M.C.A
and the Y.W.C.A that your Bishops denounce or will denounce.
The customer
Thank you, good Saint, of your advice. To execute them I am going
to ask Marie.
(1) absolutely distinct Archiconfrérie
of the Third Franciscan Order, erected by the Franciscan pope
Sixte-Quint, and that imposes the obligation only to carry on
oneself a cord made of linen or wool to 3 nœuds; but he/it
must be blessed by a priest who has the power of it. One carries
it in honor of the Father knows François and to get the
purity by his/her/its protection. Numerous indulgences and the
precious privileges are attached him. Saint Dominique, François
of Dirty, Joseph Calasance, Benoît Labre were cordigères.
We advise the youth of the two sexes to carry this holy cord to
protect his/her/its virtue. To address to a Franciscans convent
in order to be able to make impose itself/themselves him. |

Eighth
Days The hope
‘' Induti galeam spem: Covered of the helmet of the hope.
' ' (Ithessaloniciens,v.8.)
Saint Joseph
On the third day of your novena, dear customer, I learned you
to don you of the breastplate of the justice; yesterday I reminded
you that I had girt on the kidneys of the sérénissime
duke of Brunswick with the rope of the seraphic Father holy François
inviting you mildly to have the same privilege of the hands of
a Minor Brother; today I want to cover your head of a protective
helmet.
The customer
You are well good, oh dear Saint: I didn't think that to the sky
the saints, quite lost in God and inebriate of the torrent of
his/her/its ineffable pleasure (you see that I kept your previous
lessons): that the saints, I say, have so much love and gentleness
for their brothers of here below, the rural!
Saint Joseph
It is exactly because flooded of God, we receive communion more
to his/her/its infinite charity for our future fellow citizens,
again pilgrims on the world of in-bottom.
The customer
And of what helmet want to speak me to you today
Saint Joseph
Of the hope, of the Saint Hope! It is a supernatural habit given
by God to his/her/its soul, at the time of your Baptism, according
to which you wait firmly for promises of the Lord, and the sky
after your death; and during your life all help of the grace to
deserve the eternal salute, if you fill the conditions consigned
in the gospel.
The customer
Then him there arien of surer than the hope, since an infinitely
good and powerful and faithful God promised, is that no one faithful
n‘est as much as he
Saint Joseph
Evidently, my dear customer. But if she/it is absolutely sure
of God's side, she/it is uncertain on your side, from there my
final, conditional word: ‘' If you fill the conditions consigned
in the gospel ‘'! Indeed: two sorts of souls pollute the
hope, and they are legion, alas! First, there is that exaggerate
the divine promises. These are the presumptuous who
1 hopes for the paradise, but affirm with the Protestant, that
he/it is sufficient, to win it, to have the faith only while saint
stone, faithful echo of the Christ, shouts you to endeavor to
conquer it by the good works (IIPierre, I,10)
2-D'autres hope for their forgiveness of the Savior's merits,
but don't want to make penitence, omit without reason bass tones
fastings and abstinences and many other deprivations prescribed
by the Pastors of the church; while the Christ Jésus said:
‘' if you don't make penitence, you will perish all. ' '
(Luc XIII,5.)
3 - others hope to keep the faith, but read and hear the most
perverse doctrines; think to keep gleaming of the whiteness of
the lilies and their baptismal purity and their chastity but don't
want to escape no opportunity of sin, like the dances, theaters,
animate views, novels, regards between different sexes, etec,
etc: while the infallible Truth said: ‘' to that likes the
danger there will perish (ecclesiastical, III,27)
4 - finally many hope to convert later and to make a saint death:
as if God, who promised us the grace fairly some conditions, had
assured us of the day and the second of our death. And of fact
He/it announced the contrary ‘' Veillez positively, you
ignore when the master of the house will come if it is in the
evening, or at midnight, or to the cat of the rooster or the morning.
(Marc XIII,35). And didn't have it he/it doesn't say, go admit
you that it is appropriate to offer the God who liked you of all
eternity before your birth, the rests soiled of an old heart used
by dint of debasing itself/themselves in the vase sickening of
the deadly sin,
The Customer.
- I didn't think the things as serious that them he/it is.
Saint Joseph.
- Me ais doesn't not quite say. next to the presumptuous, there
are the discouraged and the desperate one. Poor souls! They don't
have enough hope in spite of the promises attractive of God, and
Christ's impenetrable tenderness that cherished them until the
last drop of Blood of his/her/its Cœur very magnet; in spite
of finally so many proofs of his/her/its infinite Goodness to
their consideration! A mere nothing knocks them down, the temptations
throw them on the ground to the first shock: The cross rebuffs
them, the illnesses or failures make them deviant; a delay of
without the obtaining d‘une grace shocks them one day; the
view of Job the just, on manure, pushes them to the blasphemy;
the thought of the impious, triumphant during the time very short
of his/her/its life (she was of hundred years) makes them utter
insulting reflections towards the Divine Providence, that promised
full justice that in the eternity, and here below the pain under
all his/her/its shapes to Jesus' friends: ‘' if someone
wants to come after me and to be my disciple, that he/it carries
his/its cross (Marc, VIII, 34) ‘'. has more: even though
they had committed the most horrible mistakes, they don't have
the right to add to this long set of iniquities, the sin of despair,:
otherwise instead of being forgiven like Pierre saint, they will
damn themselves with Judas. Therefore, you understood it well,
dear customer, go find Marie, the Mother of the Saint Hope, the
very hope of the desperate one,; implore it to get you the apprehensive
hope and the confident fear; there is the helmet of the salute;
apprehensive of your part, because you have so much reason to
dread to pollute the hope, and to stop praying to the moment perilous
of the temptation; confide on behalf of God: because If you fill
all conditions that he/it fixed, absolutely nothing will miss
you for your election in the paradise; the sky and the earth will
pass, but his/her/its infallible words would not know how to be
vain. (Matthieu, XXIV, 35). (Litany page 61). |

Ninth
Day
The Charity
‘' Diliges: you will like! ‘' (Saint Luc, x,27.)
The customer
- Dear Saint, there is a question that since eight days I keep
in my mind, and that I don't dare to put you.
Saint Joseph
Why do you fear, my Child? If she/it can be you useful, I would
give myself a pleasure to answer there.
The customer
I read in ‘' your Life ‘written ' by Domenico Bernino,
that during nearly the halves of your 60 years of existence on
earth, you lived ‘' in l air ' ' without touching soil `
to the world of the eagles of the Laurentideses! Why this complete
‘' sursum strung, in top the courses, ' ' as says Mr. the
Vicar to the Mass?
Saint Joseph
I was lost in God; my love attracted me in the regions superior
toward my Beloved: and I sometimes sang:
‘' Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,
Pull me up there
Me I die here below!
Pull me up there,
Where you are,
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus! ‘’
Then the love produced in me the ecstasy: I was out of myself
in God!
The customer
But how your heart could not he/it break in these circumstances?
Saint Joseph
My child, the man is as small as he is big: so much limited either
him, he/it has an infinite heart in desires, and in capacity!
The customer
How it?
Saint Joseph
The man is a reasonable animal made to receive the Holy spirit.
By the usual grace, he/it receives communication of The Infinite
love of which the Father t the Son loves each other. Penetrated
of a late tell, he goes up, sublimisé by this love, as
far as taking pleasure in his/her/its Lord, in his/her/its glory,
in his/her/its adorable perfections, in his/her/its goods,; then
he/it comes out of himself, go up to the Trinidad for the Trinidad;
is thirsty that she/it is glorified and beloved and served of
all: in short, he/it likes; and to like that live out of oneself
in The one that one cherishes!
When one cherishes God, one first wants God's glory, then his/her/its
own salute, and then his/her/its own interests to oneself: so
all is in order, because the ‘' me ' ' is placed after ‘'
God ' ' One is prepared to all to sacrifice, even life, rather
than to displease to the Lord, by the sin. But comfort yourselves,
dear customer. You don't need ecstasies and raptures to know if
you like God; satisfy yourselves to have by the love and the will
‘' the heart in top. ' '
The customer
Do you reassure me, dear Saint, because being afraid to go by
plane, don't I feel the mystical eagle vocation, yours who was?
Saint Joseph
Lee miracles, raptures and ecstasies don't make the saints: they
help the Saint Church to canonize them, For you, pay to the Very
High the tribute of a triple love, and it will be sufficient.
The customer
Which?
Saint Joseph
First the love saintly interested that consist to look for in
God and in his/her/its service the legitimate advantages of the
time and the eternity, of which we spoke yesterday. This love
confines to the hope: he/it is good, he/it is prescribed; but
he/it would be incomplete if he/it didn't have the tendency to
improve; because the a lot of Saint Trinidad doesn't assure our
personal advantages, that sin we have the generosity of the love.
The customer
I see that you are convenient. I have go sensible to speak of
insurances against fire, hail, of life insurances, of insurances
of credences, and remains them: I didn't know that one could assure
his/her/its love for God and his/her/its salute: what precious
discovery!
Saint Joseph
You say rightly, add Therefore to your first interested love in
a common sense, the love of kindliness for God: then you will
endeavor to increase his/her/its accidental glory, especially
while working to save some souls, by your prayers, charities,
goodwill, good advice and examples etc, Believe it, dear customer,:
the apostolate of the young man on his/her/its similar, of the
girl on his/her/its companion, is more efficient than one thinks
it. To the work therefore!
And add the love of complaisance finally for the Three Adorable
People of the Blissful Trinidad: illuminated by the Saint Mind
and your faith, delight yourselves in the ocean without bottom
of their divine Perfections; rejoice yourselves to know Them so
sublime, happy, powerful and charming; congratulate them on to
be Life, Light, The love, in People,: to be the infinite Beauty,
mother of all beauties ‘' Dominator speciosior, Generator
spccici (Wisdom, XIII,3)! ‘’
The customer
Then how to maintain the fire of this triple love, in my heart?
Saint Joseph
Often think about God, speak of Him, don't refuse to suffer for
Him. Endeavor besides to have a sincere and real love for your
neighbor, that he/it pleases you or no, Saint Jean, the good-beloved
of our good Savior, he/it doesn't not have says ‘, If someone
pretends to like God and hates his/her/its brother, it is a liar:
because how one can cherish the Lord that one doesn't see, if
one doesn't have a dilection for the neighbor that to fall under
our eyes? (1 Jean, IV,20)
Therefore, more you will follow this divine program, and more
you must be assured that you progress in the love of the Lord.
This God of goodness cherishes you so much, that in payment of
the love that you will carry to your neighbor, He likes increasing
of miles manners the charity that you have for his/her/its very
agreeable Majesty.
The customer
Thank you, oh my good Protector, of your good words. I note, alas,
that I am well selfish. I like those that like me or I am useful,
in Jewish or in opportunists. It is not there imitate you nor
to copy Jesus and Marie. Henceforth, in order to be received favorably
in the celestial homeland, on the day of my big exam ‘'
the judgment particular ‘', and also to attract your protection
on this other exam that I must undergo soon ` with your help,
oh holy Joseph, I want to follow the plan next one:
1 - Big respect of my neighbor; of his/her/its soul, in the malédifiant
ever in words or acts;
2 - of his/her/its reputation, while abhorring the suspicions,
daring judgments, slanders, exaggerations, calumnies,;
3 - of his/her/its visible goods, by the flight, the injustice,
the unpaid debts, the prepared wrongs no.
4 - in more, I will prove him my efficient charity, while relieving
according to my power his/her/its bodily or moral pains by the
material or spiritual alms, my prayers, my devotion, my good advice
and examples, my cordial compassion. I will support his/her/its
wrongs and would not worry no: in short I will see Jesus in the
last of my brothers.
Saint Joseph
Very well: in order to have God's grace that is you indispensable
to act always so, and the favor to succeed your exam: address
yourselves to the Mother of the beautiful Dilection and recite
his/her/its litanies (to See page 61). |

Let's
pray |
Condescend,
Lord, to spill your grace in our souls, so that having known by
the ministry of the angel Christ's incarnation your Son, we can,
by the merits of his/her/its Passion and his/her/its Cross, to
arrive to the glory of his/her/its Resurrection. By the same Christ
Our Lord. So either him.
Add the following prayer then in honor of your Protective Saint.
‘' OH very holy Boss! your goodness is so big towards your
devoted servants that you always showed yourselves favorable to
their demands: in the difficulties where I am, I come, me also,
to address you my supplications to implore your help; have mercy
of me. In the name of this admirable love that you testified to
God and Jesus' very soft Cœur; in the name of this ardent
devotion that you showed towards God's Virgin Mother; in the name
of this singular obedience that marked your respect, towards François
of foundation, your Father and your Mr.; condescend to come me
in help da the exam that I am going to undergo my studies. In
spite of my numerous and prolonged eves, in spite of my untiring
work, in spite of the ingenious resources to which I have recourse,
the confidence in myself abandons me: you only, I make you the
humble confession of it, can come me in help. When you were on
the earth, remind yourselves that you were, you also, in the same
difficulty; the powerful protection of your Mother of the sky
made you to leave fortunately of it. Make in the same way to my
consideration; grant me the insurance in my answers to the exam;
give to my intelligence the promptness and the vivacity; move
away of me the shyness and of my mind darkness, In you therefore,
very Saint Boss, I confide entire; and I am convinced that my
hope won't be deceived. Anise is it. (1)

Joseph de Copertino:

"A
faithful disciple of the Poverello of foundation"
Message of Jean-Paul II CITE OF VATICAN, Tuesday June 17, 2003
(ZENIT.org) -
Jean-Paul II greets in Joseph saint of Copertino (1602-1663) a
saint quite singular and a "faithful disciple of the Poverello
of foundation", in his/her/its message in the P. Joachim
Giermek, general minister of the conventual minor Brothers, for
the 400th birthday of the saint's birth (2002-2003).
The church celebrates it September 18. His/her/its face, writes
Jean-Paul II is an invitation for the conventual minor Brothers
to "deepen their religious vocation to answer with a new
impetus, as he/it made it in his/her/its time, to the big challenges
that pose the society", "just before the millennial
IIIe".

"Known as "the saint wheel", for his/her/its frequent
ecstasies, Joseph of Copertino, underline Jean-Paul II, is "a
spiritual guide" for all, because he/it "invites the
supporters to assist the most intimate waitings of the heart.
He/it incites them to "search for the deep sense of the existence",
and "pushes them to meet God personally while giving way
fully to his/her/its will."
"Boss of the students", he/it is an encouragement for
"the world of the culture" to "found the human
knowledge on "God's wisdom.
"Saint Joseph of Copertino, explain Jean-Paul II, distinguished
itself by his/her/its simplicity and his/her/its obedience.
Detached of all, he/it lived continually under way, while moving
of a convent to another as his/her/its superior asked him"
and while always getting back "in "God's hands. He/it
accepted "the humiliations and the doubts that the originality
of his/her/its charismas didn't fail to cause."
"He/it always had the Crucifix present to the mind and to
the heart, between the sufferings of one misunderstood and often
full life of obstacles", what never stopped it from "transmitting
his/her/its holy and Franciscan rejoicing".
In this year of the hundred-year-old IVe, numerous religious,
pastoral and cultural initiatives aim to make rediscover the actuality
of a "extraordinary mystic", dedicated to the prayer
and the contemplation.
"That the heroic evangelical testimony of this "fascinating
God man either therefore, exhort the pope, for the men and the
women of our time "a strong call to live his/her/its faith
with passion and enthusiasm in the multiple and complex situations
of the contemporary time". ZF03061702

Reading
of the epistle |
Reading of the epistle of the blissful Paul, Apostle, to the Corinthians,
(1 in the Cor.13,1-8s.) My brothers, when I would speak the languages
of the men and Angels, if I don't have the charity, I am like
a bronze sounding and a cymbal sounds. When I would have the grant
of prophecy, and that I would know all mysteries and the whole
science, when I would have the whole faith, as far as transporting
the mountains, if I don't have the charity, I am not anything.
When I would have distributed all my goods to feed the poor people,
and that I would deliver my body to the flames, if I don't have
the charity, it me himself of nothing. The charity is patient,
it is full of goodness; the charity is not envious, it doesn't
act with foolhardiness, it doesn't swell himself, it is not ambitious,
it doesn't look for itself interests: she/it doesn't irritate,
she/it doesn't suspect the pain; she/it is not delighted with
the injustice, but she/it rejoices the truth; she/it endures all,
she/it believes all, she/it hopes for all, she/it supports all.
The charity will never finish; not even when the prophecies will
end, that the languages will stop and that the science will have
its term.

( PS.20,4-5 -.)
In Truth, You warn it of blessings of choice, You put on his/her/its

centuries. |

Eccli.11,13.) v. God's œil looked favorably at it, It raised

Gospel

Continuation of the holy Gospel according to Mathieu saint. (S,
Matt.22,1-14.) In that time, Jesus taking the floor, spoke again
in parabolas, and says: Kingdom of the heaven is similar to a
king who made his/her/its son's marriages. HE/IT sent himself/itself
servants to call those that had been invited to the marriages,
and they didn't want to come, He/it sent other servants again,
while saying: So-called to the guests: here is that I prepared
my feast; my bœufs and my animals gotten fat are killed;
all is ready, come to the marriages, But they don't pull account
of it, and they left, one to his/her/its farm, the other to his/her/its
commerce; and the other grabbed the servants, and after having
abused them, they killed it. The king, having learned it, entered
in anger; he/it sent his/its armies, wiped out these meurtrires
and burned their city. Then he/it tells his/its servants; the
marriages are ready but those that had been invited are not worthy
of it. Go therefore in the crossroads, and all them that you will
find, invite them to the marriages. These servants, having spilled
by the paths, resembled all those that they found, bad and good;
and the room of the marriages was filled of guests. The king entered
to see those that were at table and having seen there a man who
was not donned of a bridal dress, he tells to him: My friend,
how did you enter here without having the bridal dress? and this
man remained mute. Then the king tells his servants: bind him
the hands and the feet, and throw it in the outside darkness;
it is there that there is will have the tears and the grindings
of teeth. Because there are a lot of conscripts but little of
elected. |

proclaiming that it is the recognition back Joseph saint of Cupertino,
who made him take it. Several times he/it had to him an efficient
protection in are exams. It is the same feeling that brought it
in August 1901 in pilgrimage in Osimo. There, close to Lorette,
in the church of the Conventual, he/it can see under the major
altar the skeleton venerated of the Saint. He/it remembered more
engraved speech on the shrine speech that Jacob's son become minister
of Pharaoh uttered once (Genesis, XLV'4,5) and that translates

-Saint
Joseph of Copertino "didn't pass of fashion", he continues
"to speak to the young", affirm Jean-Paul II owing a
few 6.000 pilgrims come to Rome to celebrate the 400th birthday
of the saint's birth and that the pope received Saturday morning
in the room Paul VI of Vatican.
- Saint Joseph of Copertino (1603-1663) is in particular the holy
boss of the students, having himself enjoyed a particular help
of the Providence to surmount the exams giving access to the ministration.
His/her/its mystic's grants that appeared by ecstasies and the
levitations so impressive that one called it "the marvelous
saint wheel" made also of him the holy boss of the pilots
of planes. Jean-Paul II added that holy Joseph of Copertino offers
a "exemplary holiness model" and that he is a "master
of prayer."
In presence of the pilgrims, accompanied by the P. Joachim Giermek-to
which the pope addressed a message for this birthday (cf. ZF03061701)-and
by the cardinal Sergio Sebastiani, Jean-Paul II underlined the
deep wisdom and the "simple language" that characterized
life tormented of the "saint wheel."
He/it was able to indeed, underlined the pope-that read the beginning
and the end of his/her/its speech -, to be raised by the ecstasy
whereas he/it prayed or celebrated the Mass, or when he/it stopped
to contemplate a religious picture.
This extraordinary particularity caused in particular, in the
"arm of Charlemagne" of the colonnade of the Saint Peter
place, the exhibition "Visions and ecstasies" on the
mystical life, inaugurated by the cardinal Angelo Sodano October
15 and open until January 18, 2004.
"Saint Joseph of Copertino lived an intimate union with the
mind Saint, underlined the pope. He/it was quite possessed by
the mind, of which he/it taught God's things to translate them
then in a simple and comprehensible language to all.
This is how he/it became an authentic master of the faith, without
possessing a big culture, and today "he/it continues again,
to speak to the young". Jean-Paul II exhorted studying and
teaching to follow the example of Joseph saint of Copertino, so
that "the human knowledge, always open to transcendence,
advance surely toward a knowledge fuller of the truth."
To the saint's colleagues, the pope recommended it like a "model
exemplary" of evangelical perfection. "For those that
kissed the ideals of the consecration, said the pope, he/it represents
a strong call to live tense always toward the securities of the
mind, completely dedicated to the Lord and the service of the
necessary charity towards our brothers".
The Franciscan family and the Italian city of Copertino celebrate
this year thus in joy and no less solemnly the fourth centenary
of this conventual Franciscan original of Copertino, close to
Lecce, indicated Anita Bourdin in the magazine "Magnificat"
to the date of last September 18, date of the saint's liturgical
feast. Brother Joseph had been welcomed in the order no without
difficulties, in particular for his/her/its exams, gotten providentially
finally.
However, from 1630, he/it was encouraged of ecstasies and very
prolonged levitations. As people perceived more and more some
and that the community wanted to avoid some messes, it was always
sent more aside in convents: it accepted with joy all these displacements.
Accused of affected holiness he/it must even undergo a suit where
his/her/its innocence was shown, and it died out to the convent
of Osimo, in the province of Ancona. It has been beatified in
1753 by Benoît XIV and has been canonized in 1767 by Clement
XIII. The "fioretti" returns the saint's observation
among others to a knight: "My child, go wash the face! "
The knight understood and confessed.
Religious of the Virgin Marie, brother Joseph didn't hesitate,
one says, to invite the herds to join his/her/its celebration
of the Virgin's litanies, in a mind all Franciscan of the involvement
of the Creation to the praise of God's children.
