The
Virtues of Saint Joseph
Words of Our Lady to St. Bridget of
Sweden
"St.
Joseph was so reserved and careful in his speech that not one word ever issued
from his mouth that was not good and holy, nor did he ever indulge in unnecessary
or less than charitable conversation. He was most patient and diligent in
bearing fatigue; he practiced extreme poverty; he was most meek in bearing
injuries; he was strong and constant against my enemies; he was the faithful
witness of the wonders of Heaven, being dead to the flesh and the world, living
only for God and for Heavenly goods, which were the only things he desired. He
was perfectly conformed to the Divine Will and so resigned to the dispositions
of Heaven that he ever repeated" May the Will of God ever be done in
me!" He rarely spoke with men, but continually with God, whose Will he
desired to perform. Wherefore, he now enjoys great glory in Heaven."
