Powerful Promise of St. Joseph: Whoever prays this prayer for 3 days receives special graces
Since 1991, Larissa Baptista has been receiving messages from Jesus, Mary, and Joseph in Manaus, Brazil. The phenomenon occurs in the form of an inner voice—locutions—during prayer. On August 27, 2018, these visions and messages were approved by Archbishop Sergio Eduardo Castriani of Manaus.
Jesus speaks to her and says this about Saint Joseph: “My daughter, I wish to reveal to you the special grace of those who entrust themselves to my earthly father, Joseph.”
“I promise all those who consecrate themselves to Joseph that they will have a wisdom that others who do not entrust themselves to him with confidence will not receive.”
“I, being God, submitted Myself to his guidance in order to show that this is a sure path to reach heaven. Saint Joseph is a powerful presence in these dangerous times.
You will receive great gratitude only if you seek it through his fatherly heart.”
And Saint Joseph also told her what graces are granted to humanity each time honor is given to his heart:
First: “I will never cease to listen, and if it is God’s will, I will help those who pray to me through my pure heart.”
Second: “They will be strong in trials, and I will defend them with the purity of my innocence—all those who call upon me through my childlike heart.”
Third: “My childlike heart is a sure source of salvation, for within it I carry salvation, which is Christ.”
Saint Joseph also dictated to Larissa the Prayer of Consecration to Him, through which his graces can be obtained.
Prayer of Consecration and the Method of Consecration
“I want to show you an effective formula for how my children can consecrate themselves to me.”
This consecration must be made by meditating for three days on my three joys:
1. The joy I experienced when I learned that Mary would give birth to the Son of God and that I would therefore hold Him in my arms.
2. The joy I felt when I saw Him wrapped in swaddling clothes in my fatherly arms.
3. The joy of finding Him after three days of a lonely and painful search.
“Let them meditate on these joys of mine and let them pray. After three consecutive days, consecrate yourselves to my heart with this prayer.”
Pray as follows:
O glorious Saint Joseph, loving Father of the Child God. I give you, today and always, my life and all that belongs to it. Guard my body so that it may never lose its childlike purity; guard my ears, my eyes, and my mouth so that they may forever preserve their innocence in all things.
Guard me from the enemies of my soul so that I may be preserved and persevere in the faith. Above all, Saint Joseph, take my heart to yourself, and I will keep my innocence so as to reach heaven.
Saint Joseph, father of Jesus and my friend, watch over me.
In these messages, as in other apparitions, there is also mention of persecutions that the Church will soon undergo, wars, divisions within the clergy, and natural and other disasters. However, in one message, Our Lady offers encouragement, saying: “I come to tell you that in the end my Immaculate Heart will triumph over the darkness, which is present only to frighten you.”
