Feast of St. Joseph / Missionaries of the Cross
Date: March 19, 2011
Today I will teach you through the example of St. Joseph.
—St. Joseph centered his life on prayer and silence. He meditated on the Word of God daily in humility, seeking no places of honor for himself. He remained content, hidden. Through the humility and purity of his heart, he was able to see the purity and holiness of Mary. When he learned that Mary was with Child, through his humility, he entered the hiddenness of his heart and sought to know the Will of God. This is what makes a great man: to seek the Will of God in all things. My power and strength were manifested in his docility and tenderness of heart. When men let go of their human tendency to control and rely completely on Me, they will begin to possess the true power of God.
St. Joseph embraced Mary as the Mother of God and believed in humility. He embraced the mission of God, revealed and contained in Mary Most Humble. I desire for all My Missionaries of the Cross, in imitation of St. Joseph, to embrace you, My daughter, as their spiritual mother here on earth in union with Mary, the Mother of God and Mother of all. They are to embrace you and all the Mothers of the Cross in their hearts with great love and listen intently to the wisdom of God revealed through you.
