May these words written in silence model me after the heart of St Joseph, holy, humble, hidden, sanctified through proximity to Jesus and Mary.
To the reader: these words are less for you than for me, that they might be a form of prayer for me, that they might express the love of God that wells up inside me. Since they come from within they must necessarily remain anonymous, following the command of Our Lord that he would pray must retire to his room and pray in secret.
The words I wish to share - which humility pulls me back from sharing, and yet nevertheless I feel called to share in some way - will draw on the inspirations I have been given in the course of a busy daily life, most often from meditating on the Rosary. One of my chief goals in writing this blog is to put into writing, at last, certain inspirations I have found which for me have given greater depth to this familiar prayer.
I must acknowledge at the outset my deep gratitude to the late Pope John Paul II of blessed memory for the inspiration he gave me through Rosarium Virginis Mariae, in which the Luminous Mysteries of the Rosary were first presented to the world, and after which I have named this blog.
