Mary’s age when Joseph Died and his Special Priviledges. - The Transfixion - Bk5 - Ch16

The Venerable Sister Mary of Jesus of Ágreda tells us how old Mary was when St. Joseph died and also describes some of the special privileges of Mary's beloved husband. The Blessed Virgin Mary tells us that the intercession of St. Joseph is powerful beyond comprehension saying, "...Saint Joseph, as the most noble among the princes and saints of the heavenly Jerusalem; yet neither can you properly manifest his eminent sanctity, nor can any of the mortals know it fully before they arrive at the vision of the Divinity. Then all of them will be filled with wonder and praise as the Lord will make them capable of understanding this sacrament. On the last day, when all men shall be judged, the damned will bitterly bewail their sins, which prevented them from appreciating this powerful means of their salvation, and availing themselves, as they easily could have, of this intercessor to gain the friendship of the just Judge. The whole human race has much undervalued the privileges and prerogatives conceded to my blessed spouse and they know not what his intercession with God is able to do."
