Homage of faith...

"He was following a good life plan, but God had kept a different design  

for him, a greater mission.  Joseph was a man who always listened

to the voice of God, profoundly amenable to God's secret will,

a man attentive to the messages that came from the depths

of the heart and from above." - Pope Francis

St James the Apostle Church,~Plaridel, Phillipines

"We cannot help but marvel 

at the faith of St Joseph. ...

Because his faith was so strong, Joseph's mind and heart

bowed in perfect adoration.  Imitate his faith as you kneel

before the humble Christ annihilated in the Eucharist.

Pierce the veil which covers this furnace of love and 

adore the hidden God.  At the same time respect the veil of love

and make the immolation of your mind and heart

your most beautiful homage of faith."

St Peter Julian Eymard

St Joseph, Jesus, John the Baptist - Melchoir Paul von Deschwanden (1811-1881, Swiss)

March is the month of St Joseph.
Plan today - how you will both imitate him

and solicit the special intercession

of this patron of the Church every day in March!
Ite ad Joseph!

"Accepting the Lord's plan, Joseph fully found himself, beyond himself...

his full interior openness to the Will of God challenges us

and shows us the way." - Pope Francis
