Prayer to Imitate Christ
Lord,
may my eyes contemplate the world with Your Eyes;
may my heart feel life as does Your Heart;
may my soul live upon Earth and beyond it, as does Your Soul;
may my days be an eternal reflection of Your Mercy
so that I may see my neighbor as You see me,
so that I understand my neighbor as You understand me,
so that I may be patient with my neighbor as You are with me,
so that I may speak to my neighbor as You speak to those who are Yours,
so that I may act with my neighbor as You act with those who are Yours,
and so that I may deliver to them all that You may wish to deliver.
Therefore, Lord,
may I love as You love,
serve as You serve
and live as You live,
eternally.
Amen.
Pray like the first companions of Christ, who, gathered around Him, - Jews, pagans, atheists, fishermen, prostitutes, scholars and soldiers, poor people and tax collectors, doctors and lepers - learned to love one another as He loved them.
Through His sacred Presence, their eyes became merciful and they could see beyond miseries and appearances.
This is how, children, you should look at one another today, with these very Eyes. This is how you should recognize one another, in the eternal Presence of Christ; loving, understanding, patient, merciful and compassionate, as His Heart is.
You have My blessing for this.
The Most Chaste Saint Joseph
During the 40 days in the desert, your Lord not only strengthened His Spirit and His union with the Father; He experienced for the first time the suffering of the entire world in His Heart and knew what it meant to carry the Cross of the sins of each being of this Earth.
His silence sustained His inner world and raised Him beyond human pain, for Him to reach the Heart of the Father and to know His Love would go beyond any sacrifice.
Today, child, you are invited to enter the desert of your heart, to there contemplate this planet, to prepare your inner world for that which will come, to experience within yourself what the transition of times is and, above all, to strengthen your union with God, entering His Heart and knowing there is nothing on this Earth which can surpass the necessity to reach the Father. His Love justifies all things.
Every effort, sacrifice and offering made with the heart are justified by the Love of God.
Every humiliation, emptiness, desert, loneliness and silence are justified by the Love of God.
Every service, tireless surrender, renunciation and trial are justified by the Love of God.
In the Love of God everything is dissolved and pacified, everything finds its meaning and its value, since within it all can be renewed. Therefore go, child, and seek that Love. It will be your sustenance, it will justify your existence, it shall be the meaning for your life on Earth.
Your Father and Friend,
The Most Chaste Saint Joseph
