Saint Joseph II. The fidelity of the Holy Patriarch to his vocation. Come, good and faithful servant! Share the joy of your Lord. Saint Joseph would have heard these words of our Communion Antiphon upon his arrival in Heaven. One day the Lord will say theses blessed words to each one of us if we persevere in our Christian vocation. This will happen despite our many stumbles and falls because we shall have had the humility and the courage to begin again. Fidelity of the Lord is what gives meaning to our lives, no matter what our age or personal circumstances. We know that our earthly happiness depends upon our faith. Saint Joseph had his share of difficulties, but he always relied upon the help of God. He refuse to deviate from his vocation. What else was his life if not a total dedication to the service for which he had been called? Husband to our Lady, legal father to Jesus… He devoted his life to the attention he paid them, dedicated to fulfilling his vocation ‒ the mission to which he had been called. As a dedicated man is one who does not belong to himself, Joseph ceased t be concerned for himself from the moment when, enlightened by an angel in that first dream, he fully accepted God’s design for him. Receiving Mary as his spouse he begun to live for those who had been placed in his care. God had entrusted him with his family, and Joseph did not disappoint him. God sought support on him, and he stood firm in every instance. God counts on us for many great things. We cannot let him down. Let us tell the Lord that we want to be unswervingly loyal to what He wants of us just as Joseph was in his life. We should examine ourselves as to how we can be more faithful in our personal conduct, our apostolate and our professional work. in Conversation with God Daily Meditations Volume VI Special Feast January ‒ June
