Download or read book Patris Corde written by Pope Francis and published by Our Sunday Visitor. This book was released on 2021-01-13 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his apostolic letter Patris Corde (“With a Father’s Heart”), Pope Francis reflects on Saint Joseph and his multifaceted role as a father. The purpose of this letter, Pope Francis writes, “is to increase our love for this great saint, to encourage us to implore his intercession and to imitate his virtues and his zeal.” Saint Joseph is a beloved father; a tender, loving father; an obedient father; an accepting father; a creatively courageous father; a working father; and a father in the shadows. As protector, advocate, and guardian of the Holy Family, Saint Joseph has always been venerated as a father to all Christians. With this letter, promulgated on the 150th anniversary of the declaration of Saint Joseph as Patron of the Universal Church, Pope Francis proclaimed a Year of Saint Joseph from December 8, 2020, to December 8, 2021. Patris Corde ends with a new prayer to Saint Joseph, and the OSV edition includes additional prayers and a litany to this beloved saint.
Download or read book The New Revised Jesus Mary Joseph Novena Manual written by Rt. Rev. Msgr. Joseph F. Stedman and published by TAN Books. This book was released on 1955 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New Revised Jesus, Mary, Joseph Novena Manual was originally written for the world-wide communities of the Sisters Adores of the Precious Blood and the lay-members of the Confraternity of the Precious Blood. Similar to the Novena medal of Jesus, Mary and Joseph, the Novena Manual features devotions to the Precious Blood of Jesus, to Mary Immaculate from whom Jesus drew the first drops of His Precious Blood, and to St. Joseph, the guardian of Him who redeemed us by His Precious Blood. The Novena Manual also contains a novena to Our Lady of Lourdes and a unique and beautiful novena to Our Sorrowful Mother centered around the Stations of the Cross (p. 24) among many other benefits, including: • Prayers for before and after Communion • A consecration to Mary • A beautiful prayer for children before birth (p. 95) • Prayers to pray before the exposed Eucharist • Meditations on the Seven Bloodsheddings of Christ (p. 86) • And much more... The Revised Jesus, Mary, and Joseph Novena Manual is more than a list of prayers, it is a powerful tool that will teach you how to pray with confidence, contrition, fervor, and perseverance. Small and durable, this Manual will be your constant companion in prayer, whether around the dinner table, on the road, or in the adoration chapel. History of the Order Portions of the Novena Manual discuss the founding of the Order of the Sisters Adorers of the Precious Blood. In the mid 1800's a young girl named Catherine was convinced of her unique vocation and spent years trying to precisely define it. Finally the combined authority of the Archbishop of Montreal and Pope Leo XIII approved the world-wide Institute of the Sisters Adorers of the Most Precious Blood. Today the Institute is composed of 17 autonomous Monasteries of the Precious Blood in the United States, Canada and Japan. They wear a distinctive religious habit consisting of a white tunic, with a red scapular over it and a red sash, from which hangs a portion bearing the instruments of the Passion. Their original mission, in the words of their foundress, Mother Catherine Aurelie, "is to pray for the salvation of the world and for an increased holiness of the clergy of the Catholic Church." A portion of the proceeds from every purchase of this Confraternity of the Precious Blood title go directly to The Sisters Adorers of the Precious Blood in Brooklyn, NY to support them in their vocation.
Download or read book To Know Christ Jesus written by Frank Sheed and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2011-06-03 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This modern spiritual classic by Frank Sheed, the renowned author, publisher and lecturer, is brought back into print for the benefit of new generations of readers to develop a deeper, more profound knowledge of Jesus Christ. Sheed's concern with the Gospels is to come to know Christ as he actually lived among us, interacted with all the various people he encountered from his infancy to his passion and death--the God-man who was like us in all things except sin. Sheed has tried especially to see Our Lord in his effect upon others--seeing how they saw him, trying to see why they saw him so. There is much about Mary and Joseph in their task of bringing up a baby who was literally adorable; about John the Baptist; about Mary of Bethany and Mary Magdalen; about Nicodemus; about people we meet only for a moment, like the man born blind and the owners of the drowned swine; and why the Pharisees, not only the worst of them but some of the best, would not accept Christ. Faith, doctrine, prayer, worship--all the content and consequences of Christian belief--rest on the person of Christ Jesus as recorded in the Gospels. In this classic study, Frank J. Sheed employs wide learning, theological sophistication, spiritual insight, and a lucid style to bring the reader to a personal encounter with the living Lord. To Know Christ Jesus has been justly called "one of the most satisfying studies of the Gospel ever made." Frank J. Sheed had a distinguished career as a publisher, lecturer, street-corner evangelist, and popular writer. He and his wife Maisie Ward were the founders of the publishing house Sheed & Ward. His many books include Christ in Eclipse, What Difference Does Jesus Make?, Theology and Sanity, and A Map of Life. "My concern with the Gospels is to see the Face which through all the centuries has looked out from them upon men. The object is not to prove something but to meet someone--that we should know Christ Jesus, know him as one person may know another. As Christians we love him, try to live by his law, would think it a glory to die for him. But how well do we know him?" -Frank Sheed, from the Foreword
Download or read book Devotion to Mary written by Fr. Emile Neubert, SM and published by Academy of the Immaculate. This book was released on 2010 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This pocket size book is for the soul looking to learn how to be ever more devoted to Our Lady. Fr. Emile Neubert, a 20th century, French Mariologist, writes this work in-depth as compared to his condensed book, "My Ideal, Jesus, son of Mary." Fr. Neubert, a Marianist, one of the finest Mariologists of the twentieth century, is not only the author of scholarly works, but of an amazing number of excellent books on matters spiritual and pastoral from a Marian perspective. This work, only now published in an English translation, first appeared in France in 1952 and was quickly translated into most European languages, but never in English. Fr. Neubert considered it one of his most important works. Countless priests have found this text an inspiring book of meditation and a source of priestly renewal. Throughout this work, Mary is presented especially as Mother: the Mother of God, our Mother, the Mother of all the members of the Mystical Body of Christ. Mary’s Motherhood is an image of the maternal character of the Church. For Fr. Neubert, Marian devotion consists not so much in specific practices but, rather, in offering one’s life to the Virgin Mary, an offering which has an ecclesial dimension. For St. Louis Grignion de Montfort, Marian consecration is a solemn renewal of one’s baptismal commitment confided to the Virgin Mother. For Blessed William Joseph Chaminade, Marian consecration is to assist Mary in her apostolic mission: as she gave birth to Christ, “the First-born among many brethren, she cooperates, with a mother’s love, in the generation and formation of the faithful” (Lumen Gentium 63).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recognized as a modern spiritual classic and perhaps Dietrich von Hildebrand's greatest work, this sublime and practical study gives a penetrating analysis of the true path to holiness for those who love Christ. The first requisite is the person's desire for change, and with that fundamental attitude in mind, von Hildebrand devotes a chapter to each of the successive spiritual attitudes necessary for those who strive for Christian perfection. The Beatitudes are treated with beauty and depth in an uncompromising challenge to every serious Christian to put into practice these teachings of Christ. "A magnificent treatise by a distinguished philosopher on the pursuit of spiritual perfection." -Publishers Weekly "A major contribution to the only important question: the transformation of our soul in Christ." -Archbishop Fulton Sheen "A masterpiece of modern spirituality: eminently practical and highly recommended." -Fr. John Hardon, S.J. "A solid and penetrating analysis of the Christian virtues, and their application in the struggle toward Christian perfection." -Library Journal

Download or read book Consecration to Jesus Christ Through Mary and Joseph written by Jayson Brunelle and published by . This book was released on 2012-01-10 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "To be 'hers' is to belong perfectly to Jesus Christ." Few persons realize the great role the Virgin Mary plays in the sanctification of souls. As spiritual Mother of the Mystical Body, Mary, together with the Holy Spirit, has the task of forming Christ in souls through divine grace. The great Marian Saints Louis De Montfort and Maximilian Kolbe, continuing and further developing a 2000-year tradition of theologically sound and Christocentric devotion to the Mother of God, consistently taught that our response to Mary's role as Spiritual Mother should be nothing short of total consecration to Her. This book thoroughly explores the firm theological foundations for this sublime devotion of total consecration, focusing on Mary's Spiritual Motherhood as it is expressed and manifested through Her three-fold function as Co-Redemptrix, Mediatrix of all grace, and Advocate for the People of God. This work stands out among the many books written on consecration to Mary in that it takes into serious consideration the often neglected role of St. Joseph in this devotion, thereby exalting the entire Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph, or the Earthly Trinity, as the basis for a universal spirituality, especially suited for the laity. With an understanding of (1) St Joseph's spousal union with Mary as the epitome of perfect consecration to Jesus through Mary; (2) his role as Spiritual Father and Patron of the universal Church; (3) and finally, the universality of the call to holiness, and the corresponding universal spirituality that this devotion offers, the reader will be brought to an entirely new awareness of and appreciation for the profundity of this most sanctifying devotion of perfect consecration to Jesus, through Mary, in the spirit of St. Joseph. A new prayer of total consecration to Jesus, through Mary, is included. Available as paperback and ebook (Kindle) from Amazon.

Download or read book The Book of Joseph written by José Alberto Rodrigues and published by . This book was released on 2021-02-17 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: St. Joseph is the reflection of God the Father, Guardian of God the Son, Friend of God the Holy Spirit, and Spouse of the Immaculate Handmaiden. In his youth, he prayed for the coming of the promised Messiah. In his adult life, not only were his prayers answered, but he loved and upheld the Messiah, Jesus Christ. And now, in the Court of Heaven, St. Joseph intercedes for the Church before the throne of Christ. Using the words of Popes, Saints, and approved mystics, The Book of Joseph, aims to dispel the common belief held by many that nothing is known about the saint other than what is mentioned briefly in the Bible.This work, which has been granted the Imprimatur, presents the life of St. Joseph beginning with the faithful prayers of his parents to conceive a son to his birth and childhood, harassment by the devil, his marriage to the Blessed Virgin Mary, the birth and life with Christ, through to the circumstances of his death and his glorification in Heaven. In addition to the theory of the assumption of St. Joseph, his sanctification in the womb and perpetual virginity are discussed. The book concludes with a series of prayers, devotions, apparitions, relics, artwork, and more.

Book excerpt: Saint Joseph is a powerful intercessor with God because he is both the father of Jesus and the spouse of the Madonna. As St Teresa of Avila said, Jesus does not deny anything to those who pray to St Joseph, because as on earth he was subjected to him because he was his father, so even in Heaven he refuses nothing to what Saint Joseph asks of him. Let us imitate St. Theresa of Avila, and as we ask for intercession with the God of St. Joseph, let us pray with belief and devotion. In this book you will find some original prayers to St. Joseph, which were composed by author.
