P ’ C YEAROFST.JOSEPH(5).Last week we noted that St. Joseph’s fatherhood and purity give him great power over the forces of darkness. This week we fo-cus on St. Joseph’s purity. “The purity of St. Joseph is a weapon against the ilth and perversions of the devil. …The number one sin among men today is impurity. It is a spiritual plague destroying the minds and hearts of men on a global scale. …Satan has nothing to fear from a man who has freely chosen to let demons into his life through lust, pornography, immoral desires and eve-ry other form of perversion. …If men want to see God and have power over darkness, they must strive to have a chaste and loving heart like St. Joseph.

Blessedarethepureofheart,fortheyshallseeGod(Mt.5:8) Saint Joseph sees the face of God and has power over evil because he is pure. On earth, he gazed upon the face of Jesus for decades. In heaven he gazes upon the divine countenance forever. The radiance of St. Joseph’s face blinds the demons of hell. …All men can become terrors of demons if they imitate St. Joseph. …The Church needs to constantly invoke the aid of St. Joseph to overcome the devil. Saint Joseph is more powerful in heaven than he was on earth. Itistruethattheothersaintsenjoygreatpow-

Calloway, MIC; pp. 223,224,225). St. Joseph, most pure father of Jesus and terror of de-mons, pray for us! Lenten Blessings, Fr. John

R P ELAÑODESANJOSÉ(5). La semana pasada nota-mos que la paternidad y la pureza de San Jose le otor-gan un gran poder sobre las fuerzas de la oscuridad. Esta semana nos enfocamos en la pureza de San Jose. “La pureza de San Jose es un arma en contra de la inmundicia y perversiones del demonio. …El pe-cado numero uno entre los hombres es la impureza. Es una plaga espiritual que esta destruyendo las men-tes y los corazones de los hombres a escala global. …Satanas no tiene nada que temerle a un hombre que con toda libertad ha decidido permitir que temerle a un hombre que con toda libertad ha decidido porno-grafıa, deseos inmorales y todas las demas formas de perversion. …Si los hombres quieren ver a Dios y te-ner poder sobre la oscuridad, deberan esforzarse por imitar el corazon casto y amoroso de San Jose. Bienaventuradoslospurosdecorazón,porqueellos

veránaDios(Mt.5:8) San Jose ve el rostro de Dios y tiene poder contra la maldad porque el es puro. Durante su estan-cia en la tierra, contemplo el rostro de Jesus durante decadas, y en el cielo contempla eternamente el Ros-tro divino, haciendo que su propio rostro radiante deje ciegos a los demonios del in ierno. …Todo el hombre puede volverse terror de los demonios y eso unicamente sucedera cuando los hombres imiten la pureza de San Jose. …La Iglesia necesita invocar cons-tantemente la ayuda de San Jose para derrotar al de-monio. San Jose es mas poderoso en el cielo de lo que fue en la tierra.

S D C En aquel tiempo, Jesus tomo consigo unicamente a Pedro, a Santiago y a Juan, los llevo a solas a una montana muy alta y se trans iguro en su presencia. Sus vestidos se volvieron de una blancura deslumbrante, como nadie en el mundo podrıa blanquearlos. Se les aparecieron tambien Elıas y Moises, que conversaban con Jesus, Pedro tomo la palabra y dijo a Jesus: -Maestro, ¡que bien estamos aquı! Hagamos tres tiendas; una para ti, otra para Moises y otra para Elıas. Estaban tan asustados que no sabıa lo que decıa. Vino entonces una nube que los cubrio y se oyo una voz desde la nube: -Este es mi Hijo amado; escuchenlo. De pronto, cuando miraron a su alrededor, vieron solo a Jesus con ellos. Al bajar de la montana, les encargo severa-mente que no contaran a nadie lo que habıan visto hasta que el Hijo del hombre hubiera resucitado de entre los muertos. Ellos guardaron el secreto, pero discutıan entre sı sobre que podıa signi icar aquello de resucitar de entre los muertos. (Marcos 9:2-10)
