In March of 1998, St. Joseph himself appeared to Edson. He appeared to Edson over the course of eight days during that month, speaking more about his Chaste Heart, giving warnings, making promises to those who spread this message, and establishing a way to celebrate this devotion.
His Most Chaste Heart
As with the Sacred and Immaculate Hearts, St. Joseph revealed what his Most Chaste Heart looked like. It is a heart set aflame with the love of God, with white lilies spread diagonally across it.
In the second apparition, the child Jesus said “Here in this Heart you will find me living, because it is pure and saintly. That all hearts could be like this one, so they could be my home on earth. Imitate this Heart so that you may receive my graces and blessings.”
These are St. Joseph’s words from the fourth apparition. “The Heavenly Father granted me the honor of representing him, in this world, to take care of his Divine and Beloved Son, Jesus Christ. My Heart was also surprised by so such dignity, I felt incapable and undeserving of such a great favor and benefit, but I put all in the hands of the Lord and, as his servant, I was ready to do his holy will….Because of this great grace and joy that God granted my Heart and, by such great mystery, I promise to intercede before him for those who come to me, honoring this Heart of mine.”
