Sirach 25:1-2
Happy the husband of a good
wife, the number of his days
will be doubled. A woman of character
is her husband’s joy, he will live in
peace all the years of his life.
A good wife is the best of gifts,
reserved for those who fear the Lord;
rich or poor, he will have a serene
heart and a happy face.
---- Mine,
As each of your sons and your daughter leaves home understand this, your first vocation is that of being a good wife. This is your first calling from which every other calling will and must flow. Ask and it will be given you, seek and you will find, knock as often as you need to and understand that divine help and grace is available in abundance. Too often the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak; train yourself to respond promptly to the gentle leading of the Holy Spirit. Joy must be present in the hearts of all those around you no matter what the circumstances and I will be with you as I have promised always. You are never alone.
