Day 22: Mirror of Patience, Pray for Us!
Our world moves faster every day. We are not accustomed to wait; everything in our lives is always within reach. Saint Joseph is a model of patience. In front of the word of God St. Joseph did not doubt what is the will of God, he obeyed and waited. He waited for the birth of Jesus, he waited in Egypt; he led the Holy Family awaiting the fulfilment of the mission of Christ. Saint Joseph is a mirror of patience because he never grew frustrated or impatient in following the voice of the Lord.
How does the life of St. Joseph affect us? We are called to ask St. Joseph to intercede for us, to help us to understand that in front of the difficulties of life, we are not alone. Through patience and faith we can face the struggles of everyday life, knowing that the Lord accompanies us at every step.
