The chambers of the Chaste Heart

(Monsignor Arthur Calkins asked me to write this down. He said it doesn’t go against Catholic teaching. Monsignor Calkins is a Mariologist and Josephologist.)

Dearest Lord,
You allowed me to received an extraordinary experience. As I was praising you I felt my heart palpitations and it was reverberating throughout my whole being and the room, and I was breathing so hard and my hands were getting numb, I thought I was having a heart attack….I didn’t realize that I entered into the Chaste Heart of St. Joseph- those heartbeats were his. I was crying and crying because I can see with pure clarity and perfect vision the suffering St. Joseph had. He would see the future. He would see his son executed, and his brutal and violent death. Every part of St. Joseph's being was crying out in horror. St Joseph saw this every day. The role he had accepted to protect Jesus, his son, he accepted with his whole being... it had a double edged sword. To his horror, St. Joseph couldn’t protect him, and it felt like it killed him.

As an analogy, it looks like the wife who is so pure and sweet that you loved with all your heart is raped in front of your eyes, and your hands are tied behind you and struggling, you cannot do a single thing about it.

I cried and cried as I was allowed to feel what he felt and how the will of God was so hard, so very hard.

But he yielded every day of his life only because he was able to love the Blessed Mother and Jesus, and that love carried him thru his mission. His ability to detach and to surrender was because of that love to do God’s Will and gave him the strength that made him the Terror of Demons. He cooperated with the will to love , and to have love pour out of you even though the Will of God seems so impossible for you to do.

The fire of truth gave me to understand truly what St. Joseph went thru, I could’t stop crying.

I couldn’t possible understand this on my own, because I am a sinner and numbed by my sins. But as I praised God and worshiped him he made me disposed to this grace.
I also knew from a prior experience that this almost “impossible for man “ task done in St. Joseph made him the exalted saint that he is and all his attributes are to be revered. His role was made possible by Gold’s grace to accomplish the Will of God in Mary and in Jesus. In other words, he was a instrument to help them do their mission.

Also Jesus would never fake that he was his father. The Father in Heaven had to implant in Joseph an essence of Himself for Jesus to recognize his fatherhood in Truth and Spirit.

In like way, Joseph is our Father spiritually. He does the same for all of us, he knows what we have to accomplish in our lives for the Will of God to be accomplished and he knows our hardships and pains. His love for us so intense like a true father that he will help us to its successful end- if we ask his help Like the bridge he was for Jesus and Mary, he is the bridge for us to do God’s Will.
This happened a little before noon and lasted for about 10 minutes...I was crying from the sheer piercing of the truth to my heart and my spirit eyes and it was affecting my own physical being,
I love you so much,

Your daughter,
Karen

I was later taught how to pray to St Joseph. I will show you how I was led.

Let us pray for the soul of Monsignor Arthur Calkins who died this past first Saturday.

I want my mother's heart, and she can have mine

I enter into a silent place, where my soul becomes very attentive to God.

He makes me understand things that I ask of Him.
Oftentimes these teachings drive me to tears and I cannot take it all in, I feel like my small heart becomes so full and gigantic, and it could explode.
When the lesson came of Mary’s Heart, the Lord had taught me that the truth is alive in there.
He gave me a series of lessons on her Immaculate Heart. He allowed my heart to be like that of a child's, begging and longing for her mother.
(this actually happened in consecutive days)
First day, was about a person in the street, who looked like a homeless beggar, someone that society ignores. I believe that God showed me in a kind of understanding that is far beyond the natural…it was an interior understanding-very, very deep. By that I mean that God communicated to me not from the outside but inside of me. He showed me that this person was saintly. He a was soul that was pleasing to God, not because he lived in poverty, but because he was righteous. It is was so captivating because I would not usually think this way, and I cried because of the indifference of the world upon people who are unfortunate -how they get passed on as not important.

Another day after pleading for the Heart of Mary, I saw a seemingly holy person, and in a spiritual way, It came to me that this soul was not pleasing to God at all. The outer appearance and demeanor cannot fool God. Of course I would not believe this until it was confirmed through the words that came out of his mouth. He was even surprised that he uttered such words. He literally revealed the truth about himself. The mouth utters the content of the heart! To the world he looked holy but was not. The Immaculate Heart gives the spiritual eyes to see.

Yet another day, pleading for the Heart of Mary, I was driving. I suddenly came upon a sin that I never even thought of. It was lost deep in my memory. The poignant moment I realized this sin this interior knowledge drove me to cry tears of true repentance so deeply. I was so hurt that I offended our Lord, and my repeated sorries were escaping from my heart somehow in the hope that it would effect a balm of love where I injured the Lord. The truth that was brought this was not accusing, it led me to be sorry from the depths of my being...it softened my heart.
Many, many more instances of these occurred. It was like he was making me practice and see how effective this means of prayer was.

This is the way I was taught to pray.
Lord, give me your mother’s heart so pure, loving and holy. Please place her heart in mine, illuminate me in all that I should know. I need her heart for the truth. I find you in her heart who is the Truth. Please, please God give me her heart. I won't stop pleading until you do!!!

I spend time praying in this fashion as a child, with all of my heart. Watch and see the power of praying for her Immaculate Heart.

I was going to wait until Valentine's Day to share about the Chaste heart of St Joseph. Since a Josephologist/Mariologist heard an experience I had with St. Joseph and said there wasn't anything against Church teachings told me to write and keep it, I'll share it. He died on Saturday. Monsignor Arthur Calkins.

The Immaculate Heart of Mary

2/3/2024

The Triumph of the Immaculate Heart, is a mystery that is not difficult if you are grounded in the Holy Spirit. A big hint has been always there for centuries…is hidden in plain sight in the Word. It speaks of Marys heart twice in scripture. When she didn’t understand something with her human mind, she place it in her heart.

And Mary kept all these things, reflecting on them in her heart.
Luke 2:19

And... Luke,2:35 (and you yourself a sword will pierce) so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed

That beautiful heart pierced by the sword of truth…would lay souls bare. In her heart is the searing truth.... This is God’s gift of light in darkness, discernment without sight - but under the total GPS of the Holy Spirit . So how does this truly worked for us?
Her heart was to illuminate souls to give discernment.

In the scourge of 2018 when all these priest who were not living the call accepted and harmed the lambs of God- this was a working of the Illuminative Heart of Mary, call the truth to the situation in the Church. Many blamed the church... but how can the church be at fault? These priests were the wolves in lambs clothing not obedient to their call but doing the exact opposite of what they should have been doing- which should've been protecting and guiding the sheep. So through the light of the Immaculate Heart not only will the darkness be revealed, but a movement toward righteousness to put things into order. (this is not limited to priests but this is just an example) Also there are many good and holy priests, and its no coincidence that they are devoted to Mary.

The Sacred and Immaculate hearts in images hold their hearts in their hands as if to tell the viewer something. They are not saying, look at my heart how pretty it is, they are literally saying, 'Take my heart'! Place it in your own. They want us to be filled with love and truth.

St. John Vianney was planted in a territory where the love of each other and of God had grown cold. He begged constantly for the Lord to give him His Sacred Heart, and that fired up the region. Through a miracle, people came in droves to see D'Ars...it was lit up with the fiery fire of Love.

When you ask for the Immaculate Heart even on a personal basis, souls will be illumined to you, (good and bad)direction is derived out of that, and even your own soul becomes transparent to yourself (tears flow1) so that you can deal with any iniquities that are hidden and impossible to let go of. With the searing fire of truth through the Immaculate Heart, you spring forward very fast to righteous, it is the impetus for true repentance and you just swiftly run to holiness and virtue.

For the Truth to prevail is the Triumph. The Triumph of the Immaculate Heart. It is already happening, Truth is exposing itself in this deep darkness.

Tomorrow I will write how I was taught to gauge the Immaculate Heart.

40 days after Christmas

This day is layered with notable events.

It is the purification of Mary
The Presentation of Jesus
Candlemas
Feast of the Our Lady of Good Success

The Virgin Mary, in obedience to Jewish law, went to the Temple in Jerusalem both to be purified 40 days after the birth of her son, Jesus, and to present him to God as her firstborn.

Candlemas the blessings of Candles. The recognition that Jesus is the Light of the world and any of us can raise the candle and light up the world with Christ.

Our Lady of Good Success or Our Lady of a Great event - came from an order (cloistered Conceptionist sisters) that contemplated the months of Mary’s pregnancy leading up to The Great Event- the Birth of Christ!!!! The prophesied, glorious promise of God realized!!!! On a Prolife note...All life has been ordained by God and must be seen as precious and celebrated! The great event is the successful birth of a child!

Jesus is presented in the temple. I see the connection :

We bring the gifts up in mass…
Joseph and Mary brought up baby to the temple…

The priest consecrates the host and wine and lifts it up to the Father- and the Father returns to us the Eucharist.
The rabbi, Simeon, accepted the baby Jesus and prays and presents him to the Father, and the prophesy was fulfilled that he should see the consolation of Israel, the Messiah, the Holy One of Israel, the Christ- is given to the world.

Luke explicitly says that Joseph and Mary take the option provided for poor people (those who could not afford a lamb; Leviticus 12:8), sacrificing "a pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons."

“Sent the poor away with good things”….Joseph and Mary got sent away with the adorable infant king of the Universe bundled up in the most warm soft package. The Bread of Life tucked in their arms. When we the hungry and poor, come to Mass and receive our Lord humbly, we leave with the King of the Universe giving us all we need for the week to come.

Solomon gave a prophetic message to Mary:
'and a sword will pierce your own soul too – so that the secret thoughts of many may be laid bare.’
Read it over and over again, ask the Holy Spirit’s guidance.

Ask God to enlighten the eyes of your heart to understand the depth of this prophetic word.

If anyone gets anything, please respond on the form or email.

I will reveal what the Lord has shown me next blog but I really want you to search those words given by Simeon the prophet to Mama Mary. It is important for these times.
Sending you all love on this very special day.

It's first Friday to boot!

Most Important Words

Moments before his death, David gave his most important words of wisdom to Solomon:

As David’s life drew to its close he laid this charge on his son Solomon, ‘I am going the way of all the earth. Be strong and show yourself a man. Observe the injunctions of the Lord your God, following his ways and keeping his laws, his commandments, his customs and his decrees, as it stands written in the Law of Moses, that so you may be successful in all you do and undertake, so that the Lord may fulfill the promise he made me, “If your sons are careful how they behave, and walk loyally before me with all their heart and soul, you shall never lack for a man on the throne of Israel.”’

As Jesus was dying on the Cross he spoke to John his most important words. His time was up on earth and he had to impart the most succinct, loving directions to him:

Seeing his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing near her, Jesus said to his mother, 'Woman, behold thy son'. Then to the disciple he said: 'Behold your mother'. And from that hour the disciple took her into his home' (John 19:25-27).

She is our mother, John represents all of us, "the Beloved". Mary is the surest way to Heaven. What does she do best? She brings us to her Son.
