[Sundaycommunity] MORE ON THE WEAKNESS OF MEN AND THE POWER OF WOMEN

[Brian Shaughnessy]

When Joseph found out that they were going to have to go to Bethlehem about
the time that Jesus was to be born, he was completely dismayed.  And Mary
had to go over with him how, really, God orchestrates everything.

Afterwards, Mary made this comment on the vision.
________

"I wish to draw the attention of wives to one point.

Too many marriages break up through the fault of women, who do not possess
that love which is everything: kindness, pity and solace to their husbands.

The physical suffering that lies heavy on women does not lie heavily on
men.

But all the moral worries do: necessities of work, decisions to be taken,
responsibilities before the established authorities and one's own family...
oh! how many things weigh on man!  And how much comfort he also needs!

And yet, a woman's selfishness is such that she adds the weight of useless
and sometimes unfair complaints to the burden of her tired, disheartened,
worried husband.  And all this because she is selfish.  She does not love.

Love is not the satisfaction of one's senses and utility.  To love is to
satisfy him whom we love, beyond senses and utility, giving him the help he
needs so that he may always be able to keep his wings open in the skies of
hope and peace.
