Jesus and Saint Joseph console father in his difficulties.

Is not this the carpenter’s son? Is not his mother called Mary? And are not his brethren[h] James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? 56 And are not all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all this?” (Mathew 13:55)

Volume 5, March 20, 1903

As I was outside of myself, I saw father all in difficulty with regard to the grace that he wants; and once again, blessed Jesus with Saint Joseph were saying to him: “If you get down to work, all your difficulties will disappear, and will fall off like fish scales.”
