Church Tradition On St. Joseph "Father Weiser explains the background of the feast of Saint Joseph in the Church, and gives short descriptions of traditions relating to this saint (such as "St. Joseph's Night" and "St. Joseph's Loaves") and customs from various countries, such as Valencia, Spain, northern Spain, and in parts of Italy. DIRECTIONS Up to the fifteenth century our Lord's foster father was not honored by a special feast of the Church, and people did not generally venerate him, although many ancient Fathers and writers mentioned him with reverence and high regard.

This devotion was greatly encouraged by some saints of the twelfth, thirteenth, and fourteenth centuries, especially Saint Bernard (1153), Saint Thomas Aquinas (1274), and Saint Gertrude (1310). At the end of the fourteenth cent...

"The Journey To Bethlehem is Not Comfortable! by  GARY ZIMAK  on  DECEMBER 21, 2009  ·  0 COMMENTS   Print This Article During the season of Advent, we are all invited to travel our own personal “road to Bethlehem”. When we arrive at our destination on Christmas Day, we will hopefully be closer to the Lord than when we began the journey.  Over the course of these few weeks, we have the opportunity to look at our lives and attempt to find ways of becoming closer to Christ.  One of the biggest mistakes we can make is to “take the easy way out” and do nothing or choose only those spiritual practices with which we are comfortable.  If we look at the lives of Mary, Joseph, the shepherds and the wise men — there was nothing easy about the journey to Bethlehem. For each of these individuals, however, their efforts produced great fruit. Let’s explore how the Lord often calls us to leave our “comfort zone” in order to encounter ...

St. Joseph Speaks St. Joseph spoke in soft and eloquent voice.  God’s natural presence is the Church in the world.  His natural presence in the world was foretold in genesis itself.  As he was speaking, he took the angels’ attention to the time of his Nazareth life in the Holy family and he explained the revelation given to him of the re-establishment of Father’s presence on earth.  It all began with the annunciation of Incarnation through Immaculate Conception of Mary.  When the fallen sin of first family in the genesis occurred, which brought the sufferings and death onto the world, when humanity fell into the hands of merciless enemy’s tactics, then the human lost the Holy Spirit within them, they became a mortal being.  In addition, the sins multiplied and removed them from the presence of God; Fear and guilt creeped within them; because of fear and guilt, they were hiding between the trees and leaves, when they heard the voice of God.
