“We have close to us as much as Joseph had at Nazareth; we have our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament, but our poor eyes fail to see Him. Let us once become interior souls and we shall immediately see. In no better way can we enter into the Heart of our Lord than through Saint Joseph. Jesus and Mary are eager to pay the debts which they owe him for his devoted care of them, and their greatest pleasure is to fulfill his least desire. Let him, then, lead you by hand into the interior sanctuary of Jesus Eucharistic.” WayHeartSoulHandsEyeCareDesireJesusPleasurePoorPayLordFailingBlessedSaintDebtMaryDevotedSacramentsInteriorsOur LordBetter WaysSanctuaryBlessed SacramentGreatest PleasuresEucharisticNazareth Author:Peter Julian Eymard
