FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK
4 WAYS TO IMITATE ST. JOSEPH ON DAILY BASIS Prayer for the year of St. Joseph
Father Louis Lalemant, having chosen St Joseph for
model of the interior life, practiced each day in his
honor the following exercises: two in the morning
and two in the evening.
1- LISTEN TO THE HOLY SPIRIT The first was
to raise his mind toward the heart of St. Joseph
and consider how docile he had been to the
inspirations of the Holy Spirit. Then examining his
own heart, he humbled himself for his times of
resistance, and animated himself to follow more
faithfully the inspirations of grace.
2- UNITY OF PRAYER AND WORK The second
was to consider with what perfection St.
Joseph united the interior life to the occupations
of his state in life. Then reflecting on his own life,
he examined if there were some defects to correct.
Father Lalemant attained by this holy practice to a
great union with God and he knew how to preserve it
in the midst of occupations which seemed the most
distracting.
3- DEVOTION TO THE VIRGIN MARY The
third was to unite himself spiritually to St. Joseph as
spouse of the Mother of God; and considering the
admirable lights which the saint had on the virginity
and maternity of Mary, he encouraged himself to
love this holy patriarch for the love of his holy
spouse.
4- ADORE THE CHRIST CHILD The fourth was
to represent to himself the profound adoration and
the paternal services which St. Joseph had rendered
to the Child Jesus: he asked to be permitted to join
with him in adoring, loving, and serving this
Divine Infant with the tenderest affection and the
profoundest veneration. (Philip Kosloski Aleteia.org)
As we celebrate the 150th anniversary of the declaration of
St. Joseph as patron of the Church, pope Francis has
proclaimed year 2021, “The Year of St Joseph”.
To you, O blessed Joseph, do we come in our
tribulation, and having implored the help of your
most holy Spouse, we confidently invoke your
patronage also.
Through that charity which bound you to the
Immaculate Virgin Mother of God and through the
paternal love with which you embraced the Child
Jesus, we humbly beg you graciously to regard the
inheritance which Jesus Christ has purchased by his
Blood, and with your power and strength to aid us in
our necessities.
O most watchful guardian of the Holy Family,
defend the chosen children of Jesus Christ;
O most loving father, ward off from us very
contagion of error and corrupting influence; O our
most mighty protector, be kind to us and from
heaven assist us in our struggle with the power of
darkness.
As once you rescued the Child Jesus from deadly
peril, so now protect God’s Holy Church from the
snares of the enemy and from all adversity; shield,
too, each one of us by your constant protection, so
that, supported by your example and your aid, we
may be able to live piously, to die in holiness, and to
obtain eternal happiness in heaven. Amen.

COUNCIL OF CATHOLIC WOMEN
Breathe in me, O Holy Spirit, that my thoughts may all be
holy. Act in me, O Holy Spirit, that my work, too, may be
holy. Draw my heart, O Holy Spirit, that I love but what is
holy. Strengthen me, O Holy Spirit, to defend all that is
holy. Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit, that I always may be
holy.– St. Augustine
Lay your cares about the future trustingly in God’s hands,
and let yourself be guided by the Lord just like a little
child.—St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross
Anxiety is the greatest evil that can befall a soul except
sin. God commands you to pray, but He forbids you to
worry.-St. Francis De Sales
Don’t spend your energies on things that generate worry,
anxiety, and anguish. Only one thing is necessary: Lift up
your spirit and love God.—St. Padre Pio
Nothing great is ever achieved without enduring much.
—St. Catherine de Siena
Who except God can give you peace? Has the world ever
been able to satisfy the heart? - St. Gerard Majella
The secret to happiness is to live moment by moment and
thank God for what He is sending us every day in His
goodness.—St. Gianna Molla
If God sends you many sufferings it is a sign that He has
great plans for you, ans certainly wants to make you a
saint.—St Ignatius of Loyola
