Excerpt from Meditations on St. JosephChristians, and especially religious, cannot meditate too deeply on the life and virtues of the glorious St. Joseph, on his holy death, his power with God, and the protection he extends to the faithful who are devoted to his service, but there are none to whom these consoling and instruo tive subjects should be more the special object of medita tion than to us.St. Joseph is the patron of our Institute - that is to say, he is our model, our guide, and our protector. We ought, then, by meditation, to study his' perfections for the purpose of imitating them, to listen to his teachings that we may put them in practice, and to give ourselves a just idea of his goodness and his power of intercession with God, so as to have the greatest confidence in him.Nothing appears to us more in conformity with the Spirit of our congregation than this.As our Venerable Founder taught us, we should often dwell upon the mysteries of the divine Infancy, entertain a great devotion to the most holy Virgin, live by faith, and be animated with zeal to lead our pupils to preserve their souls in the state of innocence. But do we not directly tend to these ends by frequent meditation on St. Joseph?About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
