“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
“When later he [St. Joseph] carried the Child in his arms, acts of loving faith welled up constantly in his heart. It was a worship that pleased our Lord more than that which he receives in heaven. Picture to yourself Saint Joseph, adoring the little Child in his arms as his God. He tells of his readiness to die for Christ, of all his plans to promote Christ's glory, and to win more souls to his love. No lover builds more scintillating plans for his loved one than a saint.” HeartChildrenLittlesSoulDiesWinningHeavenChristLordPlansArmsLoversWorshipGlorySaintLoved OnesSacramentsHis LoveOur LordReadiness Author:Peter Julian Eymard
“Is not our Lord as meek and humble in the Blessed Sacrament as He was during His life on earth? Is He not always the Good Shepherd, the Divine Consoler, the Changeless Friend?

“Trying to do good to people without God's help is no easier than making the sun shine at midnight. You discover that you've got to abandon all your own preferences, your own bright ideas, and guide souls along the road our Lord has marked out for them. You mustn't coerce them into some path of your own choosing.” PeopleTryingIdeasSoulHelpingLordSunPathEasierShiningGuidesAbandonMidnightPreferenceOur LordWithout GodSun ShinesCoerceBright Ideas Author:Therese of Lisieux
