The Venerable Sister Mary of Jesus of Ágreda describes the anxieties of Saint Joseph on account of the pregnancy of Most Holy Mary. Joseph turns to God for guidance as he battles inner turmoil seeing her pregnancy, yet he refuses to believe Mary has acted inappropriately. The Blessed Virgin Marys reminds us to always turn to Our Heavenly Father saying, "...most exalted are the thoughts and intentions of the Lord; his Providence with souls is sweet and powerful and He is admirable in the government of them all, especially of his friends and chosen ones. If mortals would strive to know the loving care for their direction and advancement, as shown by this Father of mercies (Matthew 6:5), they would be relieved and would not be involved in such irksome, useless, and dangerous anxieties, living in perpetual toils and vain trust in the help of creatures. For they would resign themselves without hesitation to the infinite wisdom and love, which, with paternal sweetness and gentleness would watch over all their thoughts, words, and actions and all things necessary for them. I do not wish thee to be ignorant of this truth, but to understand how the Lord from all eternity bears in his mind all the predestined of the different times and ages; and that by the invincible force of his infinite wisdom and goodness He continually disposes and prepares all the blessings useful to them, so that the end desired for them may be attained."
