Greetings Prayer Warriors,
We all need solid
role models. But whom can we emulate as
the perfect spouse? My mind wanders to
Mary and Joseph, and but since tomorrow is the feast of St. Joseph, I decided
to meditate on writings about him. The
words used to describe him say it all. I
am struck by the fact that these words could be used to describe Mary too.
- Humble
- Steadfast
- Pure
- Charitable
- Protective
- Supportive
- Loving
- Self-sacrificing
- Unselfish
- Instrument for the benefit of others
- Devoted
- Comforter
- Faithful
- Tender
- Loyal
- Obedient to the will of God
The result of humility and fear of
the LORD is riches, honor and life. Proverbs 22:4
Perhaps we can
choose a few of these virtues and attributes to integrate into our own
life/marriage. Pray to the Lord for an
increase in virtue for your spouse, yourself, and other marriages. Then make a personal commitment to grow in
virtue, one day at a time.
Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
Introduce someone to the virtuous life. Pass it on.
