GRM 25.8

The Gospel as revealed to me

Quotation

Regard it as something precious, more precious than your own life. Because it is the greatest gift that God can grant a believer in His Son.

GRM 25.9

The Gospel as revealed to me

Quotation

Doubt is so dangerous and lethal to the spirit. It is lethal because it is the first agent of the deadly disease called ‘despair’, against which we must react with all our strength, so that our souls may not perish, and we may not lose God.

GRM 25.10

The Gospel as revealed to me

Quotation

I want you to love My Joseph, this wise, prudent, patient and good man, who is not separated from the mystery of Redemption, on the contrary, he is closely connected to it, because he suffered for it, consuming himself in sorrow for it, saving your Saviour at the cost of his own sacrifice because of his holiness.

GRM 25.10

The Gospel as revealed to me

Quotation

Joseph was holy. His pure spirit lived in God. His charity was ardent and strong. And out of charity he saved your Saviour for you, both when he refrained from accusing Me to the elders, and when he saved Jesus in Egypt, leaving everything with prompt obedience.

GRM 25.11

The Gospel as revealed to me

Quotation

Closed in My house, all alone, in the house where everything reminded Me of the Annunciation and the Incarnation, and where everything reminded Me of Joseph, married to Me with spotless virginity, I had to fight despair and Satan’s insinuation, and hope, hope, hope. And pray, pray, pray. And forgive, forgive, forgive Joseph’s suspicion, his disturbance and just despair.

Detail

Mary speaks of the moment when Joseph becomes aware of her maternity. In this passage, she recalls the reality of her virginity and the Incarnation.
