St Joseph Our Spiritual Father
Today is the Feast Day of St Joseph the Worker! πππ
I came across this beautiful, holy book in an interesting, surprising way. On January 27, 2020 my son Constantine had his First Reconciliation. We attended Mass that morning and he was greeted happily by the daily morning Church goers. His First Confession was heard right after Mass. It seemed like a split second that he went in and out of the confessional.
On a whim I asked Father if he had time to hear my confession. He graciously said yes. I spoke about things that pulled at my heart especially about the challenges of parenthood. He asked me to start praying to St Joseph for guidance and patience. He also asked me if I had a scapular. I told him that I had lost mine. He then quickly took his off and gave it to me. What a most wonderful gift offering! I received it with much gratitude.
The next day my son and I went to Adoration. We hadn't gone in a while but it was really special to see the Lord and to give thanks. Something interesting happened to me. We were not seated closely to anyone. Also, the poinsettias were placed at the altar far away from us. A beautiful fragrance as if the scent of roses swept by two distinct times while we were in the chapel. What another beautiful gift for me to ponder!
That same week I was flipping through my Facebook account. I paused to read about Fr Donald Calloway's newest book Consecration to St Joseph: The Wonders of Our Spiritual Father. Somehow I was drawn to learn more. I thought what perfect timing. I took Father's advice and decided to make the book part of my Lenten journey.
I'm so grateful that I did. This book has been such a joy and contribution to me. I warmly invite fellow Catholics, Christians and those who are curious about the Faith to get the book. It is an intriguing, delightful book to be cherished for years to come and to be shared with loved ones as well as an awesome opportunity to become close the most powerful saint after Our Blessed Mother.
Dearest St Joseph, Head of the Holy Family, Mirror of Patience, Model of Workmen, Pillar of Families, Hope of the Sick, Patron of the Dying, Terror of Demons, Protector of the Holy Church, pray for us!
