Front Row Joe
In our family, we attribute front row parking spaces to the intercession of St. Joseph, whether he likes it or not.
Living the Liturgy
Happy and Holy
St. Joseph is the intercessor for a happy and holy death. He died both. The best of deaths.
Sleeping Saint Joseph
There are many parallels between the Old Testament Joseph, the dreamer, and our beloved Saint Joseph, foster father of Jesus, who silently obeyed the Lord each time He revealed Himself while Joseph slept.
The Silent Witness of St. Joseph
During these pivotal moments, we were completely unaware that St. Joseph was silently protecting us just as he protected Mary and Jesus.
St. Joseph, Pray for Us
So please, St. Joseph, pray for us, to see the moments in family life that could challenge our patience as what they really are – gifts.
Washing and “Is it enough?”
While Catholics have firm reason to hope in our salvation, we always walk the line between presumption and despair. (1 Pt 3:15-16) Frankly, as with COVID, we do not know how our lives will turn out.
Born for Us
Today I pondered Isaiah who prophesized “For a son has been born for us, a son has been given to us, and dominion has been laid on his shoulders” (Is 9:6) which reminds me that from the moment of birth, we had a claim to Jesus Christ.
Ordinary Devotion
The majority of Mary, Joseph, and Jesus’s life together was unremarkable, yet they radically altered the course of the world in Heaven and on earth.
The Holy Family, not the Perfect Family
“May I,” “Thank you,” and “I’m sorry.” These three phrases can help us to have a holy family, after the example of the Holy Family.
