Thank you for coming to www.JMJsite.com. The menu bar allows you to access several thousand files.
Under the HOME button, you will find a link to the latest updates on this website.
Under the LITURGY button, you will find hyperlinks that bring you to hundreds of sermons. Remember a truth you should never forget, namely: “To hear the word of God in sermons with a good and very good heart is a sure sign of predestination to heaven.” St. Augustine says: “He who willingly hears the word of God need not doubt that he has received a document from his heavenly country assuring him of the possession of it.” Again, St. Augustine says: “There is no surer sign of predestination than to hear the word of God willingly.” “There is no more powerful means of bringing men to eternal salvation than to hear the word of God in sermons.” The terrible words of our Lord are well known. After having said, “He that is of God heareth the words of God,” He turned to the Scribes and Pharisees and said to them: “Therefore you hear them not, because you are not of God.” (St. John 8: 47). You can also go to the AUDIO tab and then AUDIO BOOKS to hear The Sunday Sermons of the Great Fathers. Are we truly concerned about bringing ourselves and others to eternal salvation? How often and attentively will we hear the word of God in sermons?
Under the RELIGIOUS button, you will find PDF books and over 175 hyperlinks to various topics.
The AUDIO button brings you to very many audiobooks, Catechism Classes, and much more.
The OTHER button provides humor and serious food for thought. You will also find information about health and other helpful topics.
The WHAT button brings you to many jokes and humorous emails I have received over the years – but also some with very serious things to think about and ponder.
The VIDEOS button links to a video that helps us meditate while praying the rosary, with pictures and meditations for each Hail Mary.
Please pray for all who made the information on this website available to the world! Thank you!
O God, come to our assistance; Jesus, Mary, Joseph please make haste to help us!
Jesus! Mary! Joseph!
FERVENT invocation of these blessed names gains for us access to the persons, yes, to the very hearts of Jesus, Mary and Joseph. The aspiration JESUS, MARY, JOSEPH! is enriched with an indulgence of seven years for each recital (Raccolta, 274), applicable to the poor souls in purgatory. This, obviously, is a pearl among partial indulgences. But why should so high an atoning value be attached to so short a formula?
To invite us to pray it unceasingly.
- Because of the incomprehensible grandeur of the holy Names of Jesus, Mary and Joseph. The name of a person is a personification of its bearer. What a glorious invocation, then, is the prayer: Jesus, Mary, Joseph! What a vast field for meditation here lies open to angels and men! Each one of these names, Jesus, Mary, Joseph, unfolds to us a world of wonders, an abyss of greatness and beauty, of grace and power.
At the sound of these names, Jesus, Mary, Joseph, which to us are so sweet and love-inspiring, all hell shrinks back in terror. The aspiration Jesus, Mary, Joseph! is a deadly flash of lighting to Satan and the devils.
The aspiration Jesus, Mary, Joseph! is a golden arrow, a fiery dart, which springs from our hearts and at the same moment blissfully wounds the hearts of Jesus, Mary and Joseph and lays them lovingly open to us and to our dear departed. Into this formula, so divine in its content, one breathes the tenderest, strongest and purest love.
How often should we pray this aspiration? Without counting. . . or, if we prefer, on our rosary; on each bead these three names, Jesus, Mary, Joseph and nothing more (that is no Creed, no Our Father, Hail Mary or Glory be to the Father). It is not a rosary, but simply a chaplet of diamonds, beautiful gems from the Orient of Divine love. It is greatly to be desired that this practice be spread over the world, flowing as a river of love in a never-ending stream from the hearts and lips of Christian people.
The aspiration Jesus, Mary, Joseph! is an inexhaustible treasure of indulgences especially for the poor souls. With this prayer one enkindles a fire on earth which extinguishes the flames of Purgatory. If every Christian soul but knew, if the world but knew, what consolation for the poor souls is contained in the names, Jesus, Mary, Joseph! Day and night, everywhere and without ceasing may this blessed prayer be the refrain of fervent petitions. Gather, O Christian souls, gather blessings through these heavenly names, Jesus, Mary, Joseph, for those who suffer unspeakable pains in the flames of Purgatory; beg in these sweet names, Jesus, Mary, Joseph, without ceasing.
The aspiration Jesus, Mary, Joseph! is a golden book, an inexhaustible fountain. It awakens a piety which is sweet and strong, wide, deep and full of meaning. And yet, how short and clear, how simple and wonderful is its form! It is the golden key to the hearts of Jesus, Mary and Joseph. It is a precious gem of piety. Already here on earth, but especially in heaven, this prayer will effect an intimate union of the soul, a jubilation, a true fire of love.
The aspiration Jesus, Mary, Joseph! is an inexhaustible subject for meditation. The thoughtful repetition of these names, Jesus, Mary and Joseph, so full of love and light, causes us to meditate, and from the beginning this meditation appeals to us, charms us, affects us, leads us to God and submerges us into Him. We find in these names, Jesus, Mary, Joseph, a power that urges, uplifts, stimulates, impels and quickens. Meditation on these holy names, Jesus, Mary, Joseph, fills the heart and mind, excites sublime thoughts and leads one to self-sacrificing resolutions. This method of meditation may constitute the bliss of a theologian even as it enraptures the soul of a little child. It permits all, without exception, to penetrate into the vast domain of our holy Religion and to meditate at the same time on the articles of faith, the commandments, virtues and sacraments. Like a bee that flies about in an immense garden, where perpetual spring reigns, drawing sweet nectar from bud and blossom, so we may gather heavenly thoughts and graces.
May these blessed names, Jesus, Mary, Joseph, be often on our lips during life, and may we with our dying breath sigh: Jesus, Mary, Joseph!

I pray that you will live so that the Good God will always Bless you while He keeps you from all sin. May Jesus, Mary, and Saint Joseph obtain for you every grace you need.
