This month, as we honor our Mother Mary and celebrate the feast of St. Joseph the Worker on May 1, we reflect on the profound responsibility and privilege both saints had in raising Jesus, the Son of God. St. Joseph, often referred to as the silent saint, and Mary, known for few, yet defining, words in the Gospels, stand as powerful models for us in our pursuit of God. Their unwavering trust in God's providence and their courageous faith serve as a reminder that we are never alone; God walks alongside us always.
In a world filled with conflict, both external and in our own lives, let us emulate Joseph and Mary by becoming beacons of peace in our own spheres. Through prayer and sacrifice, may we contribute to the peace that is desperately needed in parts of our world facing turmoil today.
In my own prayer, I often envision Joseph and Mary walking side by side, their arms extended outwards, inviting us all to join them and guiding us towards the presence of Jesus. Joseph and Mary remind us of the profound peace that only He can bestow upon us.
Let this visualization ignite a sense of tranquility within you, and may it inspire us all to actively strive towards manifesting that same peace in our daily lives.
Sincerely,
Sister Mary Sue IHM
