SUMMARY:Vigils Reading - Holy Family Sunday
DESCRIPTION:THE DUTIES OF EACH MOMENT \nFrom “Abandonment to Divine Providence” by Jean-Pierre de Caussade \n◊◊◊ \nThere are remarkably few extraordinary characteristics in the outward \nevents of the life of the most holy Virgin\, at least there are none recorded in holy \nScripture. Her exterior life is represented as very ordinary and simple. She did \nand suffered the same things that anyone in a similar state of life might do or suffer. \nShe goes to visit her cousin Elizabeth as her other relatives did. She took shelter \nin a stable in consequence of her poverty. She returned to Nazareth from whence \nshe had been driven by the persecution of Herod\, and lived there with Jesus and \nJoseph\, supporting themselves by the work of their hands. It was in this way that \nthe holy family gained their daily bread. But what a divine nourishment Mary and \nJoseph received from this daily bread for the strengthening of their faith! It is like \na sacrament to sanctify all their moments. What treasures of grace lie concealed \nin these moments filled\, apparently\, by the most ordinary events. That which is \nvisible might happen to anyone\, but the invisible\, discerned by faith\, is no less than \nGod operating very great things… God reveals Himself to the humble under the \nmost lowly forms\, but the proud\, attaching themselves entirely to that which is \nextrinsic\, do not discover Him hidden beneath\, and are sent empty away. \nHe who knows that a certain person in disguise is the king\, behaves towards \nhim very differently to another who\, only perceiving an ordinary man\, treats him \naccordingly. In the same way the soul that recognises the will of God in every \nsmallest event\, and also in those that are most distressing and direful\, receives all \nwith an equal joy\, pleasure and respect. It throws open all its doors to receive with \nhonour what others fear and fly from with horror. The outward appearance may \nbe mean and contemptible\, but beneath this abject garb the heart discovers and \nhonours the majesty of the king. The deeper the abasement of his entry in such a \nguise and in secret the more does the heart become filled with love. Ah! how the \nsight of God\, poor and humble\, lodged in a stable\, lying on straw\, weeping and \ntrembling\, pierced the loving heart of Mary! Ask the inhabitants of Bethlehem \nwhat they thought of the Child. You know what answer they gave\, and how they \nwould have paid court to Him had He been lodged in a palace surrounded by the \nstate due to princes. \nThen ask Mary and Joseph\, the Magi and the Shepherds. They will tell you \nthat they found in this extreme poverty an indescribable tenderness\, and an \ninfinite dignity worthy of the majesty of God. Faith is strengthened\, increased and \nenriched by those things that escape the senses; the less there is to see\, the more \nthere is to believe… \nThose souls that have this disposition adore God with redoubled love and \nrespect in each consecutive humiliating condition; nothing can hide Him from the \npiercing eye of faith. The louder the senses proclaim that in this\, or that\, there is \nno God; the more firmly do these souls clasp and embrace their “bundle of myrrh.” \nNothing daunts them\, nothing disgusts them. Mary\, when the apostles fled\, \nremained steadfast at the foot of the Cross. She owned Jesus as her Son when He \nwas disfigured with wounds\, and covered with mud and spittle. The wounds that \ndisfigured Him made Him only more lovable and adorable in the eyes of this tender \nMother. The more awful were the blasphemies uttered against Him\, so much the \ndeeper became her veneration and respect. \n  \n1 Jean-Pierre de Caussade. Abandonment to Divine Providence.
