Thoughts and Prayer for Today

"Daily Spiritual Journey "

"Every time that one sees himself urged on, with vehemence of affection, to any particular work, even though it be holy and important, he ought to put it off to another occasion, and not take it up again until his heart has recovered perfect tranquillity and indifference. This should be done to prevent self-love from sullying the purity of our intention."
- St. Vincent de Paul

"Values, Hopes and Dreams"

We have got accustomed to getting results and to getting them fast. But not everything can be hurried. In fact all the really worthwhile things in life require a lot of patient effort and are all the more appreciated for that very reason.

St. Joseph

The Bible pays Joseph the highest compliment: he was a “just” man.

St. Joseph When the Bible speaks of God “justifying” someone, it means that God, the all-holy or “righteous” One, so transforms a person that the individual shares somehow in God’s own holiness, and hence it is really “right” for God to love him or her.

By saying Joseph was “just,” the Bible means that he was one who was completely open to all that God wanted to do for him. He became holy by opening himself totally to God.

“He was chosen by the eternal Father as the trustworthy guardian and protector of his greatest treasures, namely, his divine Son and Mary, Joseph’s wife. He carried out this vocation with complete fidelity until at last God called him, saying: ‘Good and faithful servant, enter into the joy of your Lord’” (St. Bernardine of Siena).
