TO BE=A SERVANT OF GOD

 

TO BE=A SERVANT OF GOD

 

One of the GREAT SERVANTS

OF GOD=one of

The leaders=and EXAMPLES

For families=is SAINT JOSEPH

 

On December 8^th, 2020=

Pope Francis said that the world

Should be

Learning to PRAY=and IMITATE

The qualities of Saint Joseph

 

“Thus one should regard us=

AS SERVANTS OF CHRIST”                                                                                                 1 Corinthians 4:1

 

What a great WAY

To honor Saint Joseph

What a great way=

To HONOR our family

AND ALL FAMILIES!

 

Is to be

A SERVANT OF CHRIST

In today’s world

To be

A SERVANT OF GOD

 

Saint Joseph was a GREAT MAN

He stood by Mary=He stood by Jesus

AND HIS FAMILY

There was an outstanding

 

MORAL QUALITY about him

TO BE=A SERVANT OF GOD

Like Joseph

What more can we

ASK OF OURSELVES?

What better could we be?

 

“The Lord came=and stood there

Calling as at other times

‘Samuel-Samuel’

 

Then Samuel said=

‘Speak for YOUR SERVANT

Is listening’”                                                                                                                            1 Samuel  3:10

 

“Not so with you-

Instead whoever wants=to become great

Among you

Must be YOUR SERVANT”                                                                                                         Matthew 20:26

 

“His master replied=

‘Well done=good and FAITHFUL SERVANT!

 

You have been faithful

With a few things-

I will put you in charge

Of many things

 

Come and share

Your master’s happiness’”                                                                                                          Matthew 25:21

 

What could be BETTER

Than to be

A SERVANT OF GOD?

Like our good Saint Joseph was

 

Saint Joseph was

A SERVANT OF GOD

Saint Joseph=was a servant

For his family=and the world

 

He was genuine-just-

Attentive and QUICK to respond

To the Lord’s inspirations

 

“……..to equip his people

For WORKS OF SERVICE

 

So that=the body of Christ

May be built up-until

We all reach unity=in the faith

And in the knowledge

Of the Son of God

 

And become mature-

Attaining to the whole measure

Of the fullness of Christ”                                                                                                            Ephesians 4:12

 

If we can ACCEPT

And love the moral quality

OF BEING A SERVANT

Like Good  Saint Joseph

 

We will be IMITATING

ONE of the great Saints

In all of time

 

In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our FOREVER TRUE=Holy Father God!
