Celebrating this mass today was special.
After our studies last year on the Consecration to St. Joseph I truly learned how special he is to us, still today. I look forward to the times I can honor him.
Our Music Director led a choir beautifully. Such spirit-filled music!
Following the Mass we were lead in a possession to the Parish Center, accompanied by our Knights.
We took part in a prayerful litany before departing and another in the Parish Center at the “Table” that was prepared beautifully by a parishioner and her team in the tradition of how it was first celebrated in Sicily. It is like have a Father’s Day for St. Joseph. He is.of course, the foster father of our savior Jesus. Our priest, Fr. Jeremiah said the blessing. I, then, had to take pictures!
Last October I took the challenge to study “Consecration to St. Joseph” by Donald H. Calloway, MIC. I learned so much! My eyes were opened to the fact that St. Joseph is a father to me, actually the only one. When I fully understand the role he played as foster father to our Lord and what he still is working for all us children of God, I was overwhelmed with peace.
I pray to St. Joseph just about every day, I say a prayer to him after praying the Rosary. I hope you will come to know and love St. Joseph.
Thanks for stopping by. Have a blessed day!
And pray!
