SAINT JOSEPH SAINT JOSEPH III. Our perseverance. Father, with unselfishly love Saint Joseph cared for your , born of the virgin Mary. May we also serve you at your altar with pure hearts. We have been preparing for this solemnity by means of the devotion of the Seven Sundays of Saint Joseph. It is a good time for us to reflect on the teaching of Saint Thomas concerning divine vocation. To those whom God calls for his work, God provides the necessary preparation and graces, so that they will be the ideal instruments for that work. God’s fidelity is made manifest in an infinite variety of ways to help us fulfill our commitments. Saint Joseph responded immediately to the countless graces which he received from God. We ought often to reflect in our prayer on the certainty that the Lord will never let us down. He awaits our nature response, whether it be in youth, in adulthood, in old age, in good times or in bad. It is possible that we may not feel God’s presence at times, perhaps for a lengthy period. We may not feel drawn to God because we are full of ourselves. In this kind of situation fidelity to God requires interior recollection. Fidelity requires personal effort to overcome egoism and to begin again a life of prayer. God wants us to full of love, alert, brimming over with initiatives. The heart of the Holy Patriarch was always alive with joy, even in the most difficult of trials. We ought to ensure that our journey to God is as new and original as love itself. Today we ask Saint Joseph to give us a share in his youthful spirit. We ask this to him for the sake of those around us who might find thereby a road to Jesus. in Conversation with God Daily Meditations Volume VI Special Feast January ‒ June
