"I AM JOSEPH AND MY NAME JOSEPH MEANS GOD WILL GROW, FOR I GREW EVERY DAY IN GRACE AND DIVINE VIRTUES."
(St. Joseph on March 1, 1998 to Edson)
The apparitions of St. Joseph at the beginning of the manifestations of the Virgin in Itapiranga were rare. Sometimes he appeared beside the Virgin and Jesus, but without saying a word. Our Lady in 1995 began to speak to Edson about the person of Saint Joseph and warned him long before that he would wait for his visits later, for he would come to tell him important messages from God that would be for the good of the Church and families around the world. These appearances with St. Joseph happened more frequently in the middle of the month of March of the year 1998. In this period, Edson was sick with hepatitis which made him bedridden without moving many times and that prevented him from doing so many things for six months. It was during this time when St. Joseph revealed to him for the first time the promises of his Most Chaste Heart and the devotion that God wanted to see flourish in the Church and in the world during our times. St. Joseph explained to him that this devotion will be a grand means of sanctification that God granted to the Church and to all those who honor his Most Chaste Heart worthily as He desires. It is one devotion in the Three Hearts United of Jesus, Mary and Joseph. This devotion will honor the Most Holy Trinity, One and Triune.
Here are some of the messages:
Pray always to Saint Joseph. He defends you and protects you always from the attacks of satan. Saint Joseph is a great saint before God, because everything can be obtained with his intercession before the Holy Trinity. The Holy Trinity covered him with numerous graces so he could be entrusted of being the protector of the Child Jesus in this world. Today, St. Joseph is in the glory of Heaven together with the Most Holy Trinity praying for you, for the eternal salvation of every person, and that they may well understand the appeals of their Heavenly Mother." (Our Lady to Edson Glauber on November 20, 1995)
St. Joseph is one of the great saints before God. Many still do not know how to give him the deserved veneration, and do not understand that he was a very important instrument in the salvation work of my Son Jesus." (Our Lady on December 25, 1996)
"God wishes that St. Joseph be glorified by all men in a special way." (November 26, 1997)
"The Church declared him as Patron and Protector and it is My Will that this be so and that all men should resort to this Son of David and righteous man who is my virginal Father." (Jesus on January 7, 2008)
"My Son Jesus and I, your Mother, we desire that the whole world be consecrated to the Most Chaste Heart of Saint Joseph." (Our Lady on November 30, 1998)
January 7, 2008, Jesus himself dictated to Edson the prayer of the Hail Joseph, adding in a few words:
"Hail Mary, son of David, just and chaste man, Wisdom is with you, blessed are you among all men and blessed is Jesus, the fruit of Mary your faithful wife. Saint Joseph, worthy Father and Protector of Jesus Christ and of the Holy Church, pray for us sinners and obtain from God the Divine Wisdom, now and at the hour of our death. Amen!"
And then Jesus said to Edson,
In this way my virginal Father Joseph is honored even more, glorifying and exalting his holy name as Protector of the Holy Church and intercessor, who obtain the necessary graces of my Divine Heart for your salvation for your bodily and spiritual needs, besides Wisdom Divine that many men need nowadays, in these times, to be just and holy, loving justice, for Wisdom will never enter the perverse soul, nor dwell in the body subject to sin. In this way I want to show the world and the Church how my Father Joseph was pure and holy in my eyes, in the eyes of my Father of heaven and before the Holy Spirit, that we choose him for such a great mission. The Blessed Trinity enveloped St. Joseph with his blessing and his grace, and sanctified even the smallest in the womb of his mother Rachel, through the Holy Spirit, the sanctifier of souls. Spread this message of mine to the Church and to the world and be a just, chaste, prudent, strong, obedient, faithful and patient son full of love that welcomes the graces of God just as my beloved Father Joseph did throughout his life. Imitate your virtues, the virtues of my virgin Father Joseph and also you and all others who listen and live this message will grow in grace and holiness. I bless you and the whole Church: in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen!

St. Joseph appeared with the Child Jesus, with a brown mantle and a white tunic. Baby Jesus had his head resting on St. Joseph’s Heart. Baby Jesus had some lilies in His hands. St. Joseph was very happy and was smiling. It was Baby Jesus who spoke first:
"My dear son, look at this Heart...with one of His little hands, the Child Jesus opened the illuminated chest of St. Joseph. In His other hand, Jesus held the Most Chaste Heart of St. Joseph.
Here in this Heart is where I live because it is a Pure and Holy Heart. That all hearts may be like this one, so that they could be My Home on earth. Imitate this Heart so that you may receive my Graces and Blessings."
Right after, St. Joseph gave this message:
"My beloved son, today I bless you. I bless your mother and all your family. My beloved son, God, Our Lord wishes to give all humanity countless Graces through the devotion to My Heart. My Divine Son (1)Jesus and Lord, that I brought up here on earth with the love of a fathers, desires that all men spread the devotion to My Heart to all those who need Graces from heaven. He also wishes that all may help those most in need with good works and deeds.
I promise to all who honor this Most Chaste Heart of Mine and who do here on earth charitable deeds in favor of those most in need, especially the sick and the dying for whom I am comforter and protector, to receive in their last moment of their lives the Grace of a good death. I, myself will be to these souls their advocate to My Son Jesus and, together with My Spouse Mary Most Holy, We will console them in their last hours here on earth with Our Holy Presence and they will rest in the Peace of Our Hearts.
Just as you saw My Son Jesus lay His head on My Heart, in the same way My Spouse Mary Most Holy and Myself will take these souls to the glory of Paradise in the presence of their Savior, My Son Jesus Christ, so that they may rest, reclining near His Sacred Heart, in the burning furnace of the most Pure and Loving Heart. I bless you all: in the name of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. See you soon!"
When they were leaving, Baby Jesus was throwing on all of us the lilies He had in His hands, which represent the Graces that He grants through the intercession of the Most Chaste Heart of St. Joseph.
(1) This name belongs to the Heavenly Father, but being St. Joseph the earthly father of a Divine Son He can do so.

In this first apparition, St. Joseph appeared dressed in a white tunic with a blue robe, accompanied by several angels. St. Joseph was holding in his left hand a lily bud and was showing His Heart to me.
"My dear son, Our Lord God has sent me to tell you about all the Graces the faithful will receive from My Most Chase Heart which Jesus and My Blessed Spouse wish to be honored. I am St. Joseph and My name means “God will grow”, because I grew every day in Grace and Divine Virtues. Through the devotion to My Most Chaste Heart many souls will be saved from the hands of the devil. God our Lord has allowed Me to reveal to you the promises of My Heart. The way I was righteous and I am righteous in the sight of God, all who have a devotion to my Most Chaste Heart will also be righteous in the sight of God, because I will enrich them with these Graces and Virtues, making them grow every day in the way of holiness. In the meantime, this is the message for today. I bless you, My son, and all humanity in the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen!"
March 3, 1998 - 9:30 pm, Manaus
St. Joseph came dressed in a white tunic and a white cloak, holding a lily and the Child Jesus also in white….
St. Joseph gave me the following message:
"My beloved son, listen and make known to all mankind all that God allows Me to reveal to you this night. But first I bless you all here in the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holly Spirit….Amen….. And I give you the Peace of Jesus! My dear son, how much is sin spreading. Men allow themselves to be taken by the most insidious wiles of the devil. The enemy of salvation wants to destroy all mankind so that, in this way, all will be lost. He is envious and hates the entire human race. So many go through so many trials and temptations that the enemy of God throws at them at every moment. In this way trying to destroy men’s mortal souls that have been created by God.
One of the means that he uses is sin against Holy Purity, because Purity is one of the virtues most dear to God, in this way Satan wants to destroy the Image of God present in every creature through this Virtue. It is the reason why God asks all of humanity the devotion to My Most Chaste Heart, because He wishes to grant men the Grace to overcome the temptations and the attacks of the devil in this way every day. Saint Joseph has revealed to you, my dear son, the power of the Invocation of My Name. The Invocation of My Name is enough to make all demons flee.
I promise to all the faithful who will honor My Most Chaste Heart with faith and love, the grace to live a life of Holy Purity of soul and body, the strength and the means necessary to overcome all attacks and temptations of the devil. I, myself will protect them as My own precious possession. This Grace is not only for those who will honor My Heart, but also for all their family members who may need heavenly assistance. I bless you all in the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen! See you soon."
March 4, 1998 - 9:10 pm, Manaus
As usual, after praying, St. Joseph appeared in my room, giving me His message. This time, He came with a dark red cloak and a green tunic. He had something like a cane and was showing me His Most Chaste Heart that was giving out very strong rays of light.
"My beloved son, today is the first Wednesday of the month. On every first Wednesday of the month My Most Chaste Heart spreads innumerable Graces on all who have recourse to My intercession. On these Wednesdays men do not received a shower of Graces but a stream of extraordinary Graces because I share with all who honor Me and have recourse to Me all the Graces, all the Blessings, all the Virtues and all the love that I have received from My Divine Son Jesus and from My Spouse Mary Most Holy when I was living in the world, and all the Graces that I continue to receive in the Glory of Heaven.
My beloved son, what an honor and dignity I received from the Heavenly Father, that made My Heart exult with joy. The Heavenly Father has given Me the honor to be able to represent Him in this world, to be able to take care of His Divine and Beloved Son Jesus Christ. My Heart was also surprised of so much esteem, because I felt incapable, not worthy of so much favor and privilege, but I placed all in the hands of the Lord, and as His Servant I was willing to fulfill His Most Holy Will.
Think, my beloved son, what happiness I felt in My Heart. The Son of the Most High was now under My care and was known by everyone as My legitimate Child. To the eyes of men this was impossible, but for God all is possible when He wants it to be so. For this great Grace and joy that God has given to My Heart and for such great mystery, I promise to ask the Lord for all those who will invoke Me, honoring this Heart of Mine, the grace to be able to resolve the most difficult problems and the most urgent needs that to the eyes of men would seem impossible to resolve, but through My intercession to the Lord will become possible.
Tonight, I bless all humanity. I spread the Graces of My Heart on all sinners so that they may convert. My Heart spreads its Rays of Love on the Holy Church, especially on the Vicar of My Son Jesus, Pope John Paul II. No one like Him has so exceptional access to My Heart. That He may confide in My Heart and in My intercession because for the Holy Father I am a Father and a Protector. I bless all: in the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. See you soon!"
March 5, 1998 - 9:15 pm, Manaus
Tonight, the Holy Family came to visit me. St. Joseph had a beige cloak and a light blue tunic. Our Lady had a white veil and an ash blue garment. The three were enveloped in a very strong light. Our Lady spoke first with a maternal loving voice:
"My beloved son, tonight God Our Lord allows Me to grant His Peace to all humanity. I bless also all families and I ask that they live in peace in their families and in an intimate union with God. If families want to receive the blessing and the Peace of God, they should live in the Divine Grace, because sin is like a very tenebrous cancer in a family that is not in union with God. God wishes that every family, in these last times, ask for the protection of the Holy Family because I, My Son Jesus and My Spouse the Most Chaste Joseph wish to protect every family against the deceptions of the devil and to live My appeals and this message that God allows Me to reveal to you. I bless you all in the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit."
After giving this message, Our Lady said:
"Now listen to My Most Chaste Spouse Joseph. Right after it was Saint Joseph who gave me the following message:
My beloved son, tonight My Heart wishes to pour many graces on all humanity. Many are the ones who walk far away from our Lord because of their grave sins. Many of my children are like this because they allowed themselves to fall into the pitfalls of the devil. The enemy of salvation wants to take these children of Mine to desperation, making them understand that there is no more solution and return. In this way, by despairing and not confiding in the Divine Mercy they are easy prey, but I, my beloved son, I tell all sinners, even to those who have committed the most terrible sins, to trust in the love and forgiveness of the Lord and to trust also in My intercession so that all who have recourse to Me with trust will have the assurance of My help to regain the Divine Grace and the Mercy of the Lord.
See, My son, The Heavenly Father entrusted to Me His Divine Son Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit and His Immaculate Spouse to be under My care. My Heart felt Great Peace and Joy to have Jesus and Mary with Me living in the same family. Our Three Hearts loved each other. They lived a Trinitarian love, but it was a love united in a single act of one offering to the Father. Our Hearts fused in the Purest Love, becoming One Heart, lived in three people who truly loved each other. But see, My son, how much My Heart was afflicted and suffered to see My Son Jesus, so small, run already the danger of death because of Herod who, already possessed by the evil spirit, ordered to kill all the innocent babies. My Heart went through great tribulations and suffering due to this great danger that My Son Jesus suffered, but the Heavenly Father did not abandon us during that time because He sent His Angel Messenger who told Me what to do and how to proceed in these moments of difficulty and of suffering. For this reason, My son, tell all sinners not to despair in the great dangers of life and the dangers that can cause the loss of their own soul. I promise to all those who will trust in this Heart of mine Pure and Chaste, honoring it devoutly, the Grace to be consoled by Me in their most greatest afflictions of soul and in the danger of been condemned, when, by disgrace, would lose the Sanctifying Grace due to their grave sins. To these sinners who will appeal to me I promise the Graces of My Heart for a firm intention of reparation, repentance and a sincere contrition of their sins. Now I say to all sinners: do not be afraid of the devil and do not despair because of your crimes but come and throw yourselves in My Arms and press on to My heart so that you may receive all the Graces for your eternal salvation.
Now I grant My blessing to the entire world: In the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. See you soon."
March 6, 1998 - 9:15 pm, Manaus - First Friday of the Month
Our Lord Jesus Christ:
“I am the True Peace. I give My Peace to all. I am Jesus Christ, the Savior of the entire human race. I desire that all honor the Immaculate Heart of My Mother, Mary Most Holy and the Most Chaste Heart of Saint Joseph. My Sacred Heart wishes to spread a new abundance of Graces, driven by love for the salvation of sinners.
See, My son, through these Hearts I wish (Jesus was showing the Heart of Our Lady and that of Saint Joseph), to draw all to Me. It is through these Hearts that I share My graces and My blessings. Through them people will be drawn faster to My Sacred Heart. Tell all people not to waste the Graces that I wish to grant them. Honoring These Hearts, they will honor and glorify Me because I have chosen My Mother, Mary Most Holy and My Virginal Father Joseph, to take care of Me, the Son of God, living with them during My heavenly mission on earth. For this reason, those who will honor Them, they will honor Me, because they will honor my decision to have chosen Them as My parents on earth (1). I bless again all My children: In the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. See you soon."
(1) The phrase may seem unusual, but not to forget that our God is always Trinitarian, in every decision. Then, the Father has proposed, the Son has accepted and the Holy Spirit has made it possible.
Our Lady:
“Dear children, honor the Holy Wounds of My Son Jesus Christ, because through them God grants you many graces that are needed for your conversion and for the conversion of your brothers. During this time of Lent try to meditate on the Holy Passion of My Son Jesus Christ so that you may understand what My Son Jesus Christ had to be bear and suffer to free you from the yoke of sin. This is the time to reconcile with God and with your brothers. Live in your lives the Holy Laws of God. Try to be strong and firm in trials, remaining faithful to His Law of Love. God loves fidelity. Therefore, dear children, the more you are faithful and responsible in your Christian commitments the more you will understand the love of God and experience His Graces in your lives. I intercede to My Son Jesus with my prayers and I tell you that I am at your side to help you. Therefore, do not lose hope, courage! I bless you all in the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. See you soon!"
Saint Joseph:
"My son, I wish to speak to you again of the graces that My Most Chaste Heart wants to spread on all humanity. My Chaste Heart, with its impulses of love, tries through all means to save all people from sin. My Son Jesus through My Heart wishes to share with all people His Heavenly Blessings. I know that many of you are going through great difficulties because, in these last times, men do not love each other and do not help each other, but live with hearts full of pride, lies, intrigues, ambitions, slander, wretchedness and many wrong things. These are the consequences of their turning away from God. My son, see how much I have suffered near My Son Jesus and My Spouse, Mary Most Holy. As I have already told you, I had already received from the Heavenly Father the mission to be the Custodian and the Protector of Jesus and Mary.
My son, My Heart was afflicted as we were so ordinary people and with no great means. I wanted to give a worthy life to the Son of the Most High. The only way I could provide for the Family was with My trade as a carpenter. The work would not always bring fair return because in those times, anyway, life had its problems. However, I always trusted in the Divine Providence that helped us and gave us just the necessary sustenance and the sustenance for the Child God, My Beloved Son Jesus Christ. My Heart was worried, because I felt I was not going to give a dignified life to the God’s Jesus. God allowed me to live this so that I would grow in trusting in His Divine Providence, so that the Virtue of Humility could adorn My soul; to be an example for all men and workers, so that even they would carry out their duties and work with love and patience, because I am a model for all workers. For this reason, my son, communicate to all those who will honor My Heart and will have full trust in me and in My intercession, the promise that they will not be abandoned in the difficulties and trials of life, because I will ask the Lord to help them with His Divine Providence with their problems, material as well as spiritual.
Fathers and mothers, also their families, who Consecrate themselves to My Heart, will have My help not only in their afflictions and problems, but also in raising and educating their children. As I raised the Son of the Most High in His Holy Divine Laws (1), in the same way I will help all fathers and mothers who will Consecrate their children to me to raise them in the love and in the Holy Laws of God so that they find the sure way of salvation.
Now I tell all people: Consecrate yourselves to My Most Chaste Heart. Consecrate everything to me, because My Heart is the new source of grace that God lavishes on the entire world. This is My message to all humanity. I spread My Cloak on the entire world and on the entire Holy Church. Trust in Me and you will receive all Graces. I bless you all in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen. See you soon!”
(1) The Incarnation was not clear. Therefore, Jesus had to undergo the same process of acquiring knowledge as all men do. Mary and Joseph really had to instruct Jesus with their lives, their words, and with their explanations.
March 7, 1998 - 9:20 pm, Manaus - First Saturday of the month
Saint Joseph came with a green cloak, a dark gray tunic and He was holding Jesus right hand. Our Lady came with a light blue mantle, a white garment and white veil. Baby Jesus came with light yellow tunic.
St. Joseph:
“My dear son, tonight, I, my Son Jesus and My Spouse Mary Most Holy bless you in the name of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. My dear son, My Son Jesus is very indignant for the sins of humanity. He wishes to spread His Divine Justice on all mankind that does not want to repent and continue to be obstinate in their sins. See, my son, I hold His hand to prevent Him from spreading His Justice on all humanity, and I ask Him through the graces of My Heart for having been worthy to live at His side, to have taken care of Him with a love of a father in this world, and for Him to have loved me with the love of a son, not to chastise the world for its criminal acts, but because of all my little ones who honor, and will honor this Most Chaste Heart of Mine, He would spread His Mercy on the world.
How many sins are committed in the world, my son! It is necessary that men do many acts of penance, that they repent of their wrong actions, because God, in these times, receives continuous offense from ungrateful men. Today, many are the outrages, sacrileges and indifferences received from all men. It is for this reason that today on the world befalls so many calamities, famines, wars, plagues and so many other sad things that people suffer due to their rebellion towards God. God allows men to follow their own path, to show them that without Him they will never be happy, and He lets men go through many sufferings, also to show them the consequences that sin generates in their lives. In this way, the Divine Justice punishes humanity due to the disobedience to the will of God. For this, my dear son, in these last times, humanity continues ever so obstinate in its crimes because what matters the most are pleasures and worldly things and not the love of God and His Commandments.
The justice of God will not delay, it will arrive in a way never seen before and suddenly on the entire world. Therefore, communicate to all those who will honor this Most Chaste Heart of Mine that they will receive the grace of my protection from evil and danger. Those who entrust themselves to me will not be hit by misfortune, wars, hunger, plague and other calamities but will have my heart as a safe shelter. Here in My Heart all will be protected from the Divine Justice in the days to come, because those who will consecrate themselves to My Heart, honoring it, will be looked upon by My Son Jesus with the eyes of mercy. Jesus will spread His Love and bring to the Glory of His Reign all those I will place in My Heart. This is my message tonight. I bless you in the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. See you soon!"
March 8, 1998 - 9:30 pm, Manaus
St. Joseph had a brown tunic and a light brown cloak, surrounded by 12 Angels with large wings.
"My dear son, My Heart rejoices greatly for these encounters because I desire to spread the Graces that the Lord allows me to grant. I want, through My Heart, to lead all people to God. Here in My Heart all people will be protected, and through it all will understand the love of God in their lives.
My dear son, all those who will spread the devotion to My Heart and will practice it with love and with conviction of heart will have the certainty to have their names engraved in it, in the same way the cross of My Son Jesus and the M of Mary are engraved in the shape of wounds. This is also a promise for all Priests because I love them with predilection. The Priests who will have a devotion to My Heart and will spread it will have the Grace, granted by God, to touch the most hardened hearts and to convert the most obstinate sinners. That everyone spread the devotion of My Heart because it is really God who asks so, to all those who will listen to my appeal, my blessing.”
March 9, 1998 - Message from Our Lady
St. Joseph came in a wine-colored cloak and white tunic. Our Lady, in a blue mantle and white dress. The Child Jesus, all in white, on the lap of St. Joseph.
"My beloved son, tonight I, my Son Jesus and my Most Chaste Spouse Joseph bless the whole world. I ask you to listen and live the holy messages of the Lord. Convert yourselves.
Continue to pray the Holy Rosary every day, and especially, beloved children, the seven Apostles’ Creeds, because here in the Amazon there will be a great loss of faith. It is because of this I asked you to always pray and continue to pray the seven Apostles’ Creeds, since many will lose their faith and abandon the Holy Church in the difficult moments to come and I, your Mother, ask you to continue to pray to prevent that great danger and those difficult days during which many will suffer. The Eternal Father, tonight, permits me to reveal to you the promise of my Immaculate Heart to all those who devotedly honor and have love for the Heart of my Spouse Joseph.
Tell, my son, to all those who honor his Most Chaste Heart will benefit from my maternal presence in their lives in a special way, for I will be at the side of each son and daughter of mine, helping and comforting them with my Mother's Heart, just as I helped and comforted my Most Chaste Spouse Joseph in this world. And all who ask of his Heart with confidence, I promise to intercede before the Eternal Father, my Divine Son Jesus and the Holy Spirit, obtaining from the Lord the grace to reach perfect sanctity and to imitate my Spouse Joseph in his virtues, this way reaching the perfection of love as He experienced it.
With this, my beloved son, men will learn to love my Son Jesus and myself with the same love of my Most Chaste Spouse Joseph, receiving from our hearts the purest love that we will share with them. I, my Son Jesus and my Most Chaste Spouse Joseph are at your side. Fear nothing, because our hearts will always protect you. I bless you all: in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. See you soon!"
After the message given by Our Lady, the Holy Family gave their blessing and began to rise to the Heaven and Our Lady said:
"At last our united Hearts will triumph!"
March 10, 1998 - Message from Our Lord Jesus Christ
"My beloved son, today I pour out the graces of my Heart and bless all of humanity. I desire all men to have devotion to the Most Chaste Heart of my Virginal Father Joseph. Those who honor him like my Heart, make me happy. May you speak to all men about this devotion that has been revealed to you. I entrust you with this mission as I have told you. You must love my Virginal Father Joseph as I love him, because, in loving him, you will do my will by imitating me in everything. I want to save all sinners. I love you all ... I am your God, I created you and I want you to be happy by my side and share my love and the glory of paradise.
Therefore, my son, all those who honor the Most Chaste Heart of my virginal Father Joseph will receive the grace that, on the last day of their lives, at the hour of death, they will overcome the deceit of the enemy of salvation receiving the victory and reward deserved in the Kingdom of my Heavenly Father. Those who honor this Most Chaste Heart devotedly in this world are sure to receive a great glory in Heaven, a grace that will not be given to those who do not honor him as I ask.
The devoted souls of my Virginal Father Joseph will benefit from the beatific vision of the Holy Trinity and will have a deep knowledge of the One and Triune God, the three times Holy, will also enjoy the presence of my Celestial Mother and my Virginal Father Joseph in the Kingdom of Heaven, as my Heavenly wonders reserved to them all from eternity. These souls will be loved by the Blessed Trinity and by my Mother Blessed Virgin Mary and will surround the Most Chaste Heart of my Virginal Father Joseph as the most beautiful lilies. This is my great promise to all men throughout the world, devotees of my Virginal Father Joseph. I bless you, my beloved son, and your whole family and the whole world in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. See you soon!"
Jesus was dressed majestically, spoke with great love and with a royal authority. He was very beautiful and full of light radiating from his being, as if that light came from the inside out and remained around him. Each time he spoke of the devotion to the Heart of his Virginal Father Joseph His face was illuminated and his Heart shone brighter.
March 19, 1998 - St. Joseph Feast Day
Today came the Holy Family: Our Lady with St. Joseph who was holding Baby Jesus in His arm. All three were dressed in gold. Baby Jesus had His back towards us, with his little arms around the neck of St. Joseph, with his head down as if He was crying, asking for comfort and protection.
Our Lady explained:
"My Son is sad for all the young people, because in these days they offend Him with grave sins and do not want to know the things of God, rebelling against Him. Jesus is not only sad for all the young people but also for those who do not want to change their lives and repent of their sins."
Right after, the Virgin gave me this message to communicate to the people:
"Peace be with you! Dear children, open your hearts to Jesus. Renounce the wrong things, flee from sin. I desire that you be united and live as true brothers. Live love and peace in your families. Where there is no love and peace in a home, there, there is no presence of God, but that of Satan who tempts them. For this reason, free yourselves from every sin and from every evil, reconciling with God. Jesus is so sad for the young people. Today they walk on the path of perdition. Pray for them because My Heart suffers so much for all of them. Mothers and fathers must love their children, educating them in the laws of God and in His love. There are many young people walking on the path of evil because the mothers and fathers have not given them the right teachings and the due love. Children must be treated with love and affection by their parents, but also the children must be obedient. The parents should know how to guide them with love, not imposing on them things that they are not ready to accept, but little by little educating them in the family life. Many did not do this because of their coldness and laxity in the things of God, and it is for this reason that many lose themselves in the way of evil, because they did not receive the necessary light that God communicates to all of them through their own parents.
Follow my example: Little by little I was educating My Son Jesus in the laws of God and of men. Dear fathers and mothers do the same with your children, and God will bless you. This is my message for today.
I bless you all in the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. See you soon!"
In the afternoon, St. Joseph gave me the following message:
"My heart desires the salvation of all of you. Tear from my heart all the graces and all that you need for your salvation. I bless you all and the entire world."
I understood, during the apparition. how much God wishes that we love St. Joseph. On His Feast day, many graces, have been spread on the world through His Most Chaste Heart.
November 20, 1995 (Our Lady)
"Always pray to Saint Joseph. He always defends and protects you from the attacks of satan. Saint Joseph is a great saint before God, because he achieves everything with his intercession before the Holy Trinity. The Holy Trinity covered him with many graces so that he could bear the mission of being the protector of the Child Jesus in this world. And today, St. Joseph is in the glory of Heaven together with the Most Holy Trinity praying for you, for the eternal salvation of each one and so that you may understand well the appeals of your Heavenly Mother."
December 25, 1996 (Our Lady to Edson)
"Beloved children, in your lives and in your families always ask for the protection of my beloved and Most Chaste Spouse Joseph. St. Joseph is a great saint before God. Many still do not know how to give him the veneration he deserves. They do not understand that he was a very important instrument in the salvation work of my Son Jesus. If it were not for St. Joseph what would have become of me and my Son Jesus in the persecution suffered by Herod? Think children, how much my Most Chaste Spouse had to suffer to be able to support the Savior of the world and give him at least a dignified life alongside his Mother of Heaven. That all fathers and mothers surrender all their children and their families to the protection of St. Joseph."
On June 6, 1997, Jesus gave a message that should be sent to the Pope to notify the whole Church:
"I wish that the first Wednesday after the Feast of my Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary be considered the Feast of the Most Chaste Heart of St. Joseph."
This request was reiterated three times to signify that it was His ardent desire.
On November 23, 1997 in Itapiranga, Edson had an unusual appearance: I saw Jesus accompanied by Our Lady and St. Joseph. The Virgin was on the right side and St. Joseph on the left side. The three of them sitting on beautiful thrones. What struck me the most was that the three had on their heads three beautiful crowns. Jesus said to me:
"Always love my Blessed Mother, Queen of Heaven and Earth and my virginal father, Saint Joseph, whom I established as the father and protector of the world and of the Holy Church."
On November 26, 1997, Our Lady made this statement:
"My son, I tell you that in the apparitions that will come, wait for the visit of my Most Chaste Spouse, Saint Joseph, sent by my Son Jesus, will transmit to you private messages and others destined for the public. Jesus sends him so that all my children of the whole world may understand the great glories and wonders that God accomplishes in their lives through his intercession."
On the same day of November, Our Lady manifested to me the wish that I become an apostle of devotion to St. Joseph:
"God desires that St. Joseph be glorified by all men in a special way, because his person, in these current times, is important for the salvation of the Holy Church and of all humanity, I tell you, my children: at last our Three Hearts will triumph!"
On November 27, 1997, Jesus spoke to me about the power and glory of the name of Saint Joseph:
"I want each one of my children in the whole world to have devotion to the Most Chaste Heart of my virginal father Saint Joseph. This Most Chaste Heart will guide to me innumerable souls. Let all men know that it is enough to call upon the most holy name of my virginal father Joseph to shake all hell and to flee all demons. In Heaven, all the saints and all the angels praise Saint Joseph, because I have given him great power and glory."
On November 30, 1998 in Brescia, Italy, I received the following message from Our Lady:
"My beloved son, speak to the Pope and the Holy Church of this message. My Son Jesus and I, his Mother, desire the whole world to be consecrated to the Most Chaste Heart of St. Joseph. Listen to this appeal! With this consecration, so many evils will be avoided for the Church. May the Church recognize this dignity which God grants to my Most Chaste Spouse. May this desire be realized very soon. Jesus wishes to triumph with my Immaculate Heart and with the Most Chaste Heart of St. Joseph."
