When a soul serves, the body gets tired, but when the heart is fulfilled in service, the spirit is gradually revealed and the being discovers the meaning of its existence, which lies in the love that it awakens while serving.

To serve may be to help someone who is tired, to comfort someone who is lacking hope, to understand the one who is not understood, to tolerate someone who is in their purification. 

To serve may be to offer healing to a sick person, or to let the same love heal their heart; to feed someone who is hungry; to dress the naked; to visit the lonely; to bring joy to the one who is in darkness.

To serve may be to keep silence when the neighbor needs quietude, to pray when the neighbor needs prayer, to adore when the neighbor needs support and to make peace, because the world needs peace.

To serve is to be in this world, becoming what it truly means to be a human being, and carrying the cross of this time, which is the transformation of the human condition into the renewal of the Love of God.

To serve is to love.

Your Father and Friend,

The Most Chaste Saint Joseph
