Through the incarnation humanity received the greatest confidant. Christ has assumed the fullness of our humanity and can identify with all our struggles. We ought to run to Him for comfort before anything else. Because He has taken on all of our pains and can always relate to us, He has the best shoulder for us to lean on.

Fr. Joseph explains that our ultimate goal is to be joyful in our path with God, so that there is no room for grief. The joy we feel will then reflect in the way we praise God during prayers and in our everyday moments. The joy we receive as a result of our relationship with the Lord will radiate through us, and will be visible for others to witness.

Fr. Joseph explains that we need to be more like the saints, whose hearts were like good soil. We need to have pure hearts that are made of good soil so that when God drops seeds in the form of messages, they penetrate our hearts in a way that transforms us.

Fr. Joseph explains that our mission in our daily lives as Christians is to spread joy. Just as Archangel Gabriel brought joy through his message to St. Mary during the annunciation we are asked to spread joy to others through our actions. We need to partake of others’ joy as well.

Fr. Joseph explains that hope is such a vital part of our relationship with God. It is intertwined with our faith. It’s not enough to just have hope, but as we have hope for ourselves, we must also give hope to others as well.

Fr. Joseph explains that in order for us to truly benefit and grow within our faith, we must first learn how to be fully submissive and obedient in God’s commands. Oftentimes, what we view as experience and wisdom is the very hurdle that disconnects us and creates barriers between us and our relationship with God. Listen in to hear the countless examples Fr. Joseph gives from our forefathers about obedience and submission.

Fr. Joseph shows a great example of what a true friend should be. He explains how the 4 friends of the paralytic man used their own faith to bring their friend to Christ. Christ healed the paralytic man because of the faith of his friends. Similarly, if we are the type of friend that prays for others (bringing them to God) not only can our friends be transformed, but inevitably we will be transformed. Listen in to hear Fr. Joseph explain in more detail what we should do as a friend to others.
