He Does Whatever St. Joseph Asks

"I never remember having entrusted anything to him [St. Joseph], which he has failed to do. I'm amazed by the great favors God has given me through this blessed Saint, the dangers from which he has freed me, both of body and soul. It seems that our Lord gives grace to the other Saints to give help in some particular need, but I know from experience that this glorious Saint helps in every necessity. And our Lord wants to make us understand that just as he was subject to him on earth – being his guardian Joseph had the name of father and could command him – so in heaven he does whatever Joseph asks."

St. Teresa of Avila

But, Lord, It Is So Difficult

(Image Source- Wikimedia Commons) Jesus warned that sometimes His teachings would bring conflict to those who accepted and lived them (Luke 12: 49-53)…being true to the Gospel means I will have to stand up for what I believe even if it causes division among those with whom I live and work. Jesus, do not let my distaste for conflict keep me from supporting and living Your profound teachings. One Bread, One Body

Let Us Adore Him!

Let us adore Jesus in our hearts, who spent 30 years out of 33 in silence; who began His public life by spending 40 days in silence; who often retired alone to spend the night on a mountain in silence. He, who spoke with authority, now spends His earthly life in silence. Let us adore Jesus in the Eucharistic silence. (Blessed Teresa of Calcutta)
