St. Joseph
Jesus said,
"Did you not know that I must
be busy with My Father's affairs?"
But they did not understand what He
meant.
Luke
3:49
Happy indeed are those of the Father's
beloved children who see and understand
from their youth that the purpose
and path of their life is but to
be found. So was I blessed. Through
the training of My early years,
through prayer and worship, study
and meditation I came to know within
My self My calling and identity,
the loving purpose of My Father's
will for Me and all mankind, gradually
but certainly the understanding
came and in obedience I responded
to it.
So is it for all the Father's children.
I am the Incarnate Word but humanly
I lived and died on earth, encountering
all the joys and pains and challenges
of human life - and more. Each child
of the loving Heavenly Father is
loved by Him into existence: each
has his place and purpose, each
called in and through the power
of Our saving, sanctifying love
to take his place in the eternal
kingdom of the Father's love. But
each is free to choose, co-operate
with Love's design, procrastinate
or refuse Love's challenge and fulfilment.
Let this be seen and known and
fully understood and let all who
see react without delay.
