Joseph’s life is not the life of a man who seeks at all costs to fulfill himself, always seeking to do what is good for him, what he likes, or what makes him great. His is the life of a man who denies himself in order that he may always accept God’s will and put it into practice. Joseph knew how to accept life as it came, not as he imagined or wanted it. Always believing, always trusting and loving.
Silvio José Báez, O.C.D.
