♔ ST. JOSEPH SPARES A YOUNG MOTHER & THE LIFE OF HER UNBORN SON ♔

One day, a young woman, mother of three children, presented herself at the Convent of the Religious of St. Joseph at Bessillon, (Cotignac, France), asking them to pray earnestly for her. In fact, she was expecting a fourth child and was herself affected by a serious illness. The doctors had given up hope and told her that the only way that she could pull through was to have an abortion, that it was either her life or the child’s – and the child’s health could not be guaranteed either. The doctors also added that to have an abortion was her duty as she already had three children to bring up.

Faced with this advice which she struggled with, she went to find a priest, who said to her: “Go for nine days to Mass at St. Joseph’s convent at Bessillon, he will help you.”

She obeyed at once and, ill as she was, she managed to travel more than one hundred and fifty kilometers (93 miles) during the nine consecutive days, to come and make her supplication to St. Joseph at the place of his apparition in 1660.

The child was born at full term, with no defects, and the mother survived the birth. The child is a fine young man of 32 years (2014), very intelligent and full of life. He was followed by two little brothers.

✠ PRAYER TO ST. JOSEPH FOR UNBORN CHILDREN ✠ 

Good St. Joseph, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Protector of Our Lord Jesus Christ, we beseech thee to protect the lives of all unborn children who are in danger of abortion.

Through thy care and guidance, instill in the hearts and minds of mothers, fathers, and those who perform abortion procedures, that the innocent unborn are human beings who are worthy of life and the benefits of parental love.

Great St. Joseph, let thy strong arms surround these children, shield them from harm and grant them the joy of life. Grant them above all the support needed for the reception of the Sacrament of Baptism by which they may become children of God and heirs to eternal life. + Amen.
 

♔ APPARITION OF ST JOSEPH - 1660 COTIGNAC, FRANCE ♔

“To him who thirsts I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely.” – Revelation 21:6

On June 7th of 1660, a shepherd of 22 years of age named Gaspard Ricard, was herding his sheep to the east side of Mount Bessillon. At roughly 1pm the heat grew stronger and harder to bear. Very tired and thirsty, he decided to lay upon the rocky ground for a rest when suddenly a tall man stood next to him and pointed to a nearby rock saying: “I am Joseph, lift the rock and you will drink.” 

The startled young man saw that the large rock looked heavy, stating that it would take about eight men to move it. He asked how he would be able to do this alone as there were no other men around besides him. St Joseph reiterated his instruction to lift the rock. Gaspard obeyed and, moving the rock, found fresh water flowing from underneath. He began to drink excitedly and looking up he found that St Joseph had disappeared. With haste he ran into town exclaiming this news to the villagers and within three hours the small spring of water had now become a fountain of overabundant water.

It is interesting to note that St Joseph had nothing else to say besides his simple instruction to lift the rock and drink. But in the absence of words, he has told us much. Water is the sign of healing and new life in the Roman Catholic Church and here we are shown that Joseph pointed to this source of water. He is given to us as an intercessor, leading us to drink of the fountain of life in Jesus.

As a result of these occurrences, King Louis XIV (1638-1715) decreed that day to be a holiday and, after making his own pilgrimage to this place, he consecrated France - as well as himself – to St Joseph. These waters which sprang forth in Cotignac, France, would become a sign of hope for many people as these waters have curative properties for both the body and the soul. There now stands at that place a sanctuary dedicated to the honor of St Joseph. One of the documented miracles that took place was recorded in 1662 by a priest who had gone there the previous year.  

“The waters of St Joseph bring miracles. Since I returned, a man whom we know from Avignon, born lame, went to the spring and came back cured, having left his crutches there. Everyone drinks and carries away the water.”  – Father Allard of the Oratory, 1662
