This week St-Joseph had a feast day, and I was blessed to attend Mass at the Oratory in Montreal. The homily was given by the Archbishop, and was centered on St-Joseph being un homme confiance. In english, two meanings to the word “confiance”…a man of “trust and confidence”. The message was simple:
We are called to be a people of Joy. In order to do that, however, we must first be a people of Confiance…of Trust and Confidence.
Do I Trust the Lord with every fibre of me? Because if I do, then I can be confident “He’s got my back”. He knows my every worry and is taking care of it. I can be Joyful.
I was never called to be father of Christ (#bigrole #yougoSt-Joe), but every day in Mission I encounter so many worries, weaknesses, unworthiness… so many reasons to Trust. So many ways I can built in the virtue of Joy!
“The Lord is my portion, says my soul, therefore I will hope in Him!” (Lamentations 3:24)
