“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

“Blessed be the inventor of photography! I set him above even the inventor of chloroform! It has given more positive pleasure to poor suffering humanity than anything else that has ''cast up'' in my time or is like to -- this art by which even the ''poor'' can possess themselves of tolerable likenesses of their absent dear ones.

“It gave me no pleasure to see people drink in my opinions if they seemed ignorant of Jesus Christ and the value of being saved by Him. Sound conviction for sin, especially the sin of unbelief, and a heart set on fire to be saved by Christ, with a strong yearning for a truly sanctified soul-this was what delighted me; those were the souls I considered blessed.” PeopleIfsHeartSoulValuesJesusStrongSoundChristSinPleasureOpinionFireDrinkJesus ChristBlessedConvictionSavedIgnorantYearningDelightedUnbelief Author:John Bunyan
“Our sages of blessed memory have said that we must not enjoy any pleasure in this world without reciting a blessing. If we eat any food, or drink any beverage, we must recite a blessing over them before and after. If we breathe the scent of goodly grass, the fragrance of spices, the aroma of good fruits, we pronounce a blessing over the pleasure. The same applies to pleasures of the sight. And the same applies to pleasures of the ear.” IfsWorldSaidEnjoyMemoriesPleasureThis WorldDrinkBlessingEarsSightBlessedFruitBreatheGrassScentSageFragranceSpicesBeveragesAromaBefore And AfterReciting Author:Shmuel Yosef Agnon
“Lord, I am no longer my own, but Yours. Put me to what You will, rank me with whom You will. Let be employed by You or laid aside for You, exalted for You or brought low by You. Let me have all things, let me have nothing, I freely and heartily yield all things to Your pleasure and disposal. And now, O glorious and blessed God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, You are mine and I am Yours. So be it.
