Pope Francis has declared a “Year of St Joseph” from 8 December 2020 to 8 December 2021. The Pope has also written a new Apostolic Letter, Patris corde (With a Father’s Heart) marking the 150th anniversary of the declaration of St Joseph as Patron of the Universal Church. Francis suggests that many ‘ordinary’ people who have quietly helped others through the pandemic are images of St Joseph, himself a ‘hidden presence’ who nonetheless played ‘an incomparable role in the history of salvation’. Jesus, he says, saw the image of God’s tender love in the person of Joseph.

Celebrating 5000 Instagram followers at: https://www.instagram.com/carmelitesaet/ ... “Get up, take the child and his mother” (Mt 2:13), God told Saint Joseph. The aim of this Apostolic Letter is to increase our love for this great saint, to encourage us to implore his intercession and to imitate his virtues and his zeal. Indeed, the proper mission of the saints is not only to obtain miracles and graces, but to intercede for us before God, like Abraham[26] and Moses[27], and like Jesus, the “one mediator” (1 Tim 2:5), who is our “advocate” with the Father (1 Jn 2:1) and who “always lives to make intercession for [us]” (Heb 7:25; cf. Rom 8:34). The saints help all the faithful “to strive for the holiness and the perfection of their particular state of life”.[28] Their lives are concrete proof that it is possible to put the Gospel into practice. Jesus told us: “Learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart” (Mt 11:29). The lives of the saints too are examples to be imitated. Saint Paul explicitly says this: “Be imitators of me!” (1 Cor 4:16).[29] By his eloquent silence, Saint Joseph says the same. We need only ask Saint Joseph for the grace of graces: our conversion. Let us now make our prayer to him: Hail, Guardian of the Redeemer, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary. To you God entrusted his only Son; in you Mary placed her trust; with you Christ became man. Blessed Joseph, to us too, show yourself a father and guide us in the path of life. Obtain for us grace, mercy and courage, and defend us from every evil.

Desde hace algunos años he sentido un cariño especial por San José, y aunque como católicos nos enseñan a amar de manera especial a la Virgen, creo que nadie ha amado más a María de Nazaret que aquel carpintero, hombre justo y fiel. Ciertamente en el Evangelio no se narra palabra alguna pronunciada por José, y por eso nos enseñan que es el hombre del silencio, pero no es el hombre mudo. No imagino a José y María mirándose fijamente sin dialogar, más bien los imagino enamorados y hablando del encargo que Dios les ha dado, de ser su familia. Después de la visita de Gabriel en aquél sueño, es ahora José el instrumento para que María escuché la voz de Dios que les va indicando el camino a seguir. Hoy 8 de diciembre de 2020, inicia un año dedicado a este hombre justo, quien por amor a la jóven Inmaculada y Pura, vive la Castidad y asume la parternidad del Mesías, que sus virtudes sean de inspiración, para que también nosotros aprendamos a oír la voz de Dios, a indicar el camino a nuestros hermanos y a ser custodios de la Iglesia y del Evangelio. Amén. #PDeibySanchez #YoungPriest #PatrisCorde #SanJose #AñoDeSanJose (en Venezuela) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIiy1A0B9pF/?igshid=h407hzghhiwz
