"Words cannot
express the perfection of his adoration. If Saint John leaped in the womb at
the approach of Mary, what feelings must have coursed through Joseph during
those six months when he had at his side and under his very eyes the hidden
God! If the father of Origin used to kiss his child during the night and adore
the Holy Spirit living within Him, can we doubt that Joseph must often have
adored Jesus hidden in the pure tabernacle of Mary? How fervent that adoration
must have been: My Lord and my God, behold your servant! No one can describe
the adoration of this noble soul. He saw nothing, yet he believed; his faith
had to pierce the virginal veil of Mary. So likewise with you! Under the veil
of the Sacred Species your faith must see our Lord. Ask St. Joseph for his
lively, constant faith."
