MOST CHASTE HEART OF SAINT JOSEPH

June 12 (Wednesday after the Feasts of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary) - Today is the Spacial Day of Veneration [‘Unofficial Feast’] in honor of the MOST CHASTE HEART OF SAINT JOSEPH.

The devotion to the Most Chaste Heart of Saint Joseph has been in existence for several centuries, beginning in the 17th century. But it has gained more popularity in the recent years because of the Apparitions of the Three Sacred Hearts of Jesus, Mary and Saint Joseph to the late visionary, + Edson Glauber EG Coutinho at Itapiranga (Amazonas, Brazil 🇧🇷) from the years 1995 until before his passing on May 25, 2021.

It was on 6 June 1997, during the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart, that OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST Himself had given this message to Edson while he was on pilgrimage to the Sanctuary of Our Lady, “Maria, Rosa Mystica” at Montichiari-Fontanelle, Italy: “I desire that the First Wednesday after the Feast of My Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary be recognized as the Feast of the Most Chaste Heart of Saint Joseph.”

We pray that the Universal Church may soon establish in the liturgical calendar, the Feast in honor of the Most Chaste Heart of Saint Joseph.

Most Chaste Heart of Saint Joseph,
pray for us and be the Guardian of our Family!
