Second Memorial and Theology in honor of
Mother Frances and The Miracle Of Saint Joseph
Delivered on November 13, 2011
Today we celebrate the second memorial in honor of Mother Frances, who walked a difficult Path for The Holy Father her entire life. On November 15, 2009 Our Heavenly Father fulfilled what He had spoken to many in the latter years of The Miracle Of Saint Joseph. That Message included that the forty-two formal years, and the thousands upon thousands of Revelations delivered over these many years, had reached a point that All that He and All His Saints had delivered is more than man needs in order to save his Soul. The time had come and Our Holy Father called for Mother to come Home to Him.
As we look at the life of Mother Frances as a True Mystic, it becomes very apparent that mankind could never understand how very difficult it is for one who walks a Path totally dedicated to God twenty-four hours a day. The responsibilities The Holy Father had included in the Mystical Life He had chosen for her had included multiple levels of the power of discernment, which never ended during her entire Mission for God, and all the untold sufferings attached to each level of discernment: the responsibility of Souls and the heavy burden she carried for all Souls; the pain and suffering of both the visible and invisible stigmata; the sufferings of Calvary every Good Friday; the responsibility of delivering thousands upon thousands of Revelations from God and All His Saints, both formal and informal, twenty-four hours a day; her entire life completely available to Our Heavenly Father; her heart God had taken and placed within every Tabernacle throughout the world, the cost of which no man could fathom; The Holy Father stripping her of her nature; the many Missions God had sent her to on bi-location; and the heavy weight of Divine Wisdom she carried within her for Every Word spoken by The Holy Trinity, carried such weight and responsibility that no man could possibly understand. We mention the word responsibilities because some of the Revelations carried much weight and a truly heavy burden, for once Heaven revealed the Divinity of Our Heavenly Mother, the Divinity of Saint Joseph being The Third Person of The Holy Trinity, the Words "Adoration to Our Heavenly Mother," and the Teaching that each Soul given throughout all Creation is a Part of Our Creator, it had become apparent that God had chosen "this time in History" as a pivotal time in which man could turn away from all the evils of this present time and return to a life more directly in line with God's Plan for mankind, Sainthood.
There were all the Warnings during the time of Noah. There were all the Warnings during the time of Sodom and Gomorrah. There were the Warnings and Messages at Fatima, and if we look, there have been Warnings and Prophesies from Heaven all through time, and many of them foretold of great future Biblical Events. Were there any signs or Spiritual occurrences about the most silent and hidden of Saints? God had said that He had prepared the world to accept This Miracle Of Saint Joseph by planting the seeds of spirituality over the entire world through a previous Miracle, The Miracle of Garabandal. God had chosen "this time" at the very beginning of Creation, for man to know and accept the Truth that Saint Joseph is The Holy Ghost.
Mother would often say that much of what God reveals are so often eased into by many years of slow Spiritual preparation so that man can adjust and grow spiritually over time. This is quite evident for all we have to do is look back into our own Bible History to see many indications of what Mother Frances is stating. We may ask, "Where are these indications and who do they come from?" Are we taking man's word or are we looking for the Hand of The Father and His Gifts which lead man from one point to another spiritually?
A good example of what Heaven has indicated to us about slowly preparing man to accept historic theological doctrinal changes is "The Immaculate Conception". If we think about Saint Ephrem, a Doctor of the Church, and all his writings on The Queen of Heaven, all the Titles She has been given, all the various Saints Who have elevated Our Blessed Virgin. Saints such as Saint Cyril of Alexandria, Saint Ambrose and Saint Augustine all spoke on the Doctrine of The Immaculate Conception. The list of Saints that covers a period of fourteen hundred years with The Immaculate Conception being studied and taught is long. This theology has been written about by all the most powerful Saints and Doctors of the Church for all these many years until the year 1854, when Pius IX made it doctrine. Four years later at The Miracle of Lourdes, Our Heavenly Mother told Saint Bernadette that She was The Immaculate Conception.
If we look at the progression of theology, driven by God through His Saints, pertaining to The Blessed Virgin and Saint Joseph, we can see the Wisdom of God's intervention and the point at which the Church has reached in elevating Our Heavenly Mother and Saint Joseph to the Highest of Heavenly Personages next to Our Heavenly Father. The accepted teachings of the Church states that the dignity of Our Heavenly Mother is so elevated, than there can be no higher created One. And Saint Joseph was so united to The Blessed Virgin there is no doubt that He approached nearer than any other to that Super-eminent Dignity of Hers by which The Mother of God surpasses all created natures. The opinion that Saint Joseph is the greatest of The Saints after Our Lady is one which is more commonly held in the Church. He has Pre-eminence over All The Saints and Angels. This doctrine is supported by Saint Teresa, by the Dominican, Isidore de Isolanis who wrote the first treatise of Saint Joseph, by Saint Francis de Sales, by Suarez, and later by Saint Alphonsus Liguori. The doctrine of "the fullness of Grace" has been driven by Saint Bernard, Saint Bernardine of Siena, Isidore de Isolanis, Suarez, and as Saint Thomas had written: "An exceptional Divine Mission calls for a corresponding degree of Grace. The theology of 'fullness of Grace' is proportionate to the Divine Mission." Therefore we can say that in all instances, to the degree God chooses a Saint to walk, whether it be the Apostles, Saint John the Baptist, All the chosen levels of Saints, All the Prophets, Moses, and Mother Frances, each receives a "fullness of Grace" that is proportionate to Their Mission.
As we continue to look at other signs of The Father, given over long periods of time, and His preparing man to accept His Truths, we find writings by Saints such as Saint Francis de Sales Who writes that Saint Joseph's death was a privileged one. He writes that it was a death of love. The same Holy Doctor teaches that Saint Joseph was One of The Saints Who rose after the Resurrection of The Lord and appeared in the City of Jerusalem. Saint Francis de Sales holds that these resurrections were definitive and that Joseph entered Heaven then, Body and Soul.
The Greatness of Saint Joseph has remained hidden from most of the world, even though Pope Pius IX declared Saint Joseph "The Patron of the Universal Church" in 1870. Prophecy states that in the end times Saint Joseph will be recognized and loved greatly by all. It has also been prophesied that before satan is defeated, Saint Joseph will be elevated from His obscurity to His rightful Place of Honor. Saint Joseph was the only Saint to appear at Fatima in 1917. At that time Saint Joseph appeared while holding the Child Jesus in His arms and blessing three times the pilgrims gathered there.
Isidore of Isolanis, the 16th century pious Dominican prophesied that: "The sound of victory will be heard in the Church when the faithful recognize the Sanctity of Saint Joseph. The Lord will let His Light shine. He will lift the veil, and great men and women will search out the interior Gifts of God that are hidden in Saint Joseph. They will find in Him a priceless treasure."
Let's look at a very famous Franciscan Nun, the Venerable Mary of Agreda. Born in 1602 and died on May 24, 1665. Much of a part of her life, as can be said of most of The Saints, may be compared to Mother Frances. Her writings spread across Europe where Kings, Queens, noblemen, churchmen were in the midst of a firestorm over the contents and translations of her works. Her chastity offered to God at the age of eight, she became a nun at twenty-five, and seven years later Mother Superior, experiencing success with all her undertakings with the building of convents and her Spiritual leadership for all under her care. The apparitions of Our Lord to her, what He had taught her, were understood by Mary of Agreda. Unfortunately, much of what she wrote was trampled upon from misunderstandings to bad translations. God had sent Mary of Agreda on bi-location for eleven years to the Indian tribes of the Texas, New Mexico and Arizona areas. She taught the Indians about Christianity. As she appeared for eleven years in a blue light, she became known as "the Blue Nun". When the explorers entered into these areas bringing along their friars and monks, they were surprised to hear that the Indians already knew about Christianity, even though no European had ever set foot in their villages. For over three hundred years men of Faith have recognized her Sanctity and Holiness, yet they have deterred her canonization. They took the steps to make her venerable and have not gone further. Why? Can it be her writings? The men of the Church complained that at one point in her writings she used the phrase "adoration to Mary". Is this not the same Wording God had delivered in a Revelation through The Miracle Of Saint Joseph? The definition of adoration or to adore is simple enough. It means to worship as God or a God. Isn't it beautiful to know that Venerable Mary of Agreda, someone who walked with Our Lord and Our Heavenly Mother at her side, knew the true meaning of adoration to Mary? The following is an excerpt from Words of The Virgin Mary to Mary of Agreda: "Although you have described My Spouse, Saint Joseph, as the most noble among the Princes and Saints of the Heavenly Jerusalem; yet neither can you properly manifest His Eminent Sanctity, nor can any of the mortals know it fully before they arrive at the Vision of The Divinity. Then all of them will be filled with wonder and praise as The Lord will make them capable of understanding this Sacrament. On the last day, when all men shall be judged, the damned will bitterly bewail their sins, which prevented them from appreciating this Powerful Means of their Salvation and availing themselves, as they easily could have, of this Intercessor to gain the friendship of The Just Judge. The whole human race has much undervalued the privileges and prerogatives conceded to My Blessed Spouse and they know not what His intercession with God is able to do. He is one of the greatly favored Personages in The Divine Presence and has immense Power to stay the arms of Divine vengeance…." Our Heavenly Mother calls Saint Joseph "a Sacrament". The accepted definition of a Sacrament is "an outward sign of inward Grace." "All Sacraments are driven by God and God only and with the full purpose of Grace." There is no time in history where a natural human being has been called "a Sacrament".
As God The Father once said, "The Miracle with Noah was the first greatest Miracle, for I cleansed the world of sin with water." Then He went on to say: "The second greatest Miracle was The Birth of My Son, and with the shedding of His Blood for the sins of the world, the Gates of Heaven were open. And now the third greatest Miracle is The Miracle Of Saint Joseph, The Third Person of The Holy Trinity."
Mother Frances carried through her the third greatest Spiritual Responsibility known to man in all Bible History. In the last years of her life, a notice of such great Spiritual Magnitude and Divine Wisdom was so evident that one would say to her privately, and in innocence, "What Part of God does your Soul come from?" This one was never to receive an answer, just a soft and gentle smile. For how can one measure the fullness of Grace that is proportionate to Her Mission? At the appointed time as God has promised, His Words will fly into the hands of millions of children, and one day The Miracle Of Saint Joseph and All that He has delivered will be the accepted Guidelines for all men to live by and to be able to save their Souls by.
We love you Mother Frances for all you have accomplished in the Name of The Holy Ghost, Saint Joseph. In order for us to have worked so close to you, God kept from us the True Magnitude of His Miracle and the profound Sanctity in the way you walked for Him. Yes, we do believe that "this time" was pre-ordained by The Father and that your life, too, was destined to fulfill God's Will from the very beginning of Creation.
