. Vocation Corner:

Saint Joseph

Saint Joseph is one of the key characters of the history of salvation. Although he is mention very few times in the gospel, his life and vocation are well known to all Chris- tians. The gospel according to Matthew says the he is the husband of Mary (Mt. 1:16), and a just man’ (Mt. 1:19). For somebody who likes long explanations these two char- acteristics of Joseph may seem nothing, but reflecting on them we find a man of integrity, and humility. We don’t need a long explanation to know that he was always work- ing to be the person he ought to be. He also was a man of action, few verses latter the same gospel tells us that Joseph “did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him’ (Mt. 1:24). He was always ready to act according to God’s plan.

He is a good example of somebody answering a vocation. He reflected, then presented his plan before God, then lis- tened to God, and finally acted. Joseph teaches us how our will and our intentions are purified and magnified when we listen God’s voice and act according to it.

If you are discerning a vocation, considers Joseph’s exam- ple of integrity, present your plan to the Lord, listen to his voice, then act according to it.

We have a wonderful patient story today I'd like to share with you as our Waterleaf Miracle of the Month for April. On Holy Saturday we received a call at 8 am from Holly, side- walk counselor outside Planned Parenthood in Aurora. She said she was sending a couple over in a white van.

When they arrived at Waterleaf, one of our patient advocates met with the couple.

The father said they had scheduled a 7:15 am appointment at PP and they intended to abort. When they arrived for their appoint- ment, he stated it appeared PP was "closed." He thought it was a sign and they couldn't do "this", especially on "this day." He said the sidewalk counselors outside PP directed them to Waterleaf.

Our medical team performed a pregnancy test and an ultrasound, confirming they were indeed pregnant. After further conversation with our team, they stated they intend to parent.

Miracle happen at Waterleaf everyday through the intercession of the Holy Spirit and the support of parishioners like you. Your prayers and support of Waterleaf are greatly appreciated.
