Story

story0321-One must be faithful to good resolutions.

Saint Joseph

When one has received benefits from the Father of lights, through the mediation of Mary or Joseph, one must be grateful; this is one of the most effective means of obtaining new favors. Ingratitude, on the other hand, is like a burning wind that dries up the source of graces and leaves the poor sinner to his natural weakness. Happy if, returning to himself, he recognizes his wrongs towards his heavenly benefactor.

Second Sunday in Lent

The Transfiguration

A voice out of the cloud, saying: This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased: hear ye Him.

story0320-Protection of Saint Joseph.

Saint Joseph

In dangers, in contradictions, let us put all our trust in God, for He is the Master of all; at the same time let us make all our efforts as if success depended solely on us. Help yourself and Heaven will help you!

story0319-The penny of Saint Joseph.

Saint Joseph

May these examples, in which the protection of Saint Joseph is clearly visible, increase our devotion and revive our confidence in this great Protector!

story0318-First communion favored by Saint Joseph.

Saint Joseph

When we have the joy of receiving Communion, let us invite Saint Joseph to accompany us. He will inspire us with his feelings of love and fervor and will put us in the dispositions to receive Holy Communion.

story0316-Devotion of the Holy Curé of Ars.

Saint Joseph

How well this pious worker of the Dombes reminds us of Saint Joseph working in Nazareth with Jesus and Mary! Is it any wonder that M. Vianney, Curé of Ars, became the model for priests and the Wonderworker of the 19th century?

story0315-A precious death before God.

Saint Joseph

No doubt they will remember all their lives that they had the Feast of Corpus Christi in their house, that Jesus came there among the flowers and that their father breathed his last under the eyes of Mary and Joseph, and provided with the sacred Viaticum. Oh, the beautiful, precious death!

story0313-An apparition.

Saint Joseph

No one doubts the power of the Blessed Virgin and the eagerness she shows to help all those who ask for Her protection in temptations. The power of saint Joseph is also great; his zeal is the same, and if the effects are rarer, it is because he is very little invoked.

Sign of the Cross

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, and of the Mother of God. Amen.

Preparatory Prayer

O Jesus! We are going to walk with You on the road to Calvary which was so painful for You. Make us understand the greatness of Your sufferings, touch our hearts with tender compassion at the sight of Your torments, in order to increase in us the regret of our faults and the love we wish to have for You.
Deign to apply to all of us the infinite merits of Your Passion, and in memory of Your sorrows, show mercy to the souls in Purgatory, especially to those who are most abandoned.
O Divine Mary, who first taught us to make the Way of the Cross, obtain for us the grace to follow Jesus with the sentiments Your Heart was filled with as You accompanied Him on the road to Calvary. Grant that we may weep with You, and that we may love Your divine Son as You do. We ask this in the name of His adorable Heart. Amen.
