Download or read book St Joseph Messages of the Heart written by José Alberto Rodrigues and published by . This book was released on 2020-05-04 with total page 188 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.Although he has the status of protodulia (venerated above all saints, excepting the Virgin Mary), St. Joseph is easily written off by people with the same excuses "we know very little about him, the Bible does not record a single spoken word by him", when in truth we do know a lot about him from the Saints, Mystics, and now, as evidenced by this book, from St. Joseph himself!As far as visitations or apparitions of St. Joseph are concerned, they are far and few between - especially when compared to those of Christ or the Blessed Virgin Mary. When it comes to discerning these apparitions, the Church performs lengthy and exhaustive investigations, taking great pains to determine authenticity.The purpose of this book is to present, quite simply and directly, the stories of St. Joseph's apparitions throughout history and his messages for the world. This book is divided into four parts: Part one documents traditionally accepted apparitions of St. Joseph.The second part presents apparitions which have undergone ecclesiastical investigation resulting in being declared "worthy of belief" by the Church, approved.Part three gives accounts of apparitions which are either undergoing investigation or have no formal decision made concerning authenticity at this time. These are presented for your discernment.And, finally, the fourth part lists apparitions which have been officially declared "unworthy of belief" or have been condemned by the Church. The messages purported to be coming from false apparitions or seers will not be shared. The purpose of listing these is so the faithful will know which apparitions to avoid.The faithful must always await the approval of Holy Mother Church before fully accepting an apparition. In some cases, the local Bishop will approve the apparitions in an official document or will approve the promotion of messages of the apparitions with an Imprimatur or Nihil Obstat and the faithful are permitted to practice devotions associated with the visions. The belief in apparitions is not binding on the faithful.May God bless you and St. Joseph smile upon you!José A. RodriguesAD TE BEATE IOSEPHwww.BookOfJoseph2017.wixsite.com/SaintJoseph
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.

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 Joseph the Man Who Raised Jesus written by Gary Caster and published by Servant Books. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who was St. Joseph? Was he just a passive, incidental figure in the drama of salvation? On the contrary, in every way that Jesus needed a father, St. Joseph was that for him. And how overwhelming it must have been for Joseph to be asked to stand in the Father's place! No man has ever been asked to do so in such an unthinkable way. Every priest, and certainly every man who is a father (biologically or otherwise), should take this to heart. Caster's book provides a unique, in-depth presentation of Joseph from the perspective of the evangelical counsels and the theological and cardinal virtues. Each section begins with an explanation of what each counsel or virtue means and then shows how Joseph models it for us. The descriptions of St. Joseph's life and character found in this book, while rooted in the Scripture passages that mention him, are chiefly inspired by Jesus, who spent the majority of his life at home with Joseph and Mary. For years, the three of them lived, prayed, celebrated, studied, and shared, all the while uniting their lives more intimately with God's own. Those years in Nazareth were a real preparation for the foundation upon which Jesus would build his saving ministry. And as much as Joseph and Mary offered Jesus, he offered them an ever-expanding awareness of the God that had changed both their lives. The reciprocity of love that perfectly defines the home in Nazareth is the very pattern for all family life--and therefore of the Church itself. Let Fr. Gary Caster introduce you to the man who risked everything to care for Mary and her Son, safeguarding them from harm and cherishing them with a pure and true love. Joseph was a flesh-and-blood testimony of what it means to live according to the Father's will with one's mind and heart centered on Christ.
