I wanted to bump this thread... Is anyone doing the consecration to St. Joeseph this year? I'm going through it with some guys from our parish.
…I’ve been doing a St Joseph Novena. I end one, and start another. I got this particular one off of EWTN
I did the consecration last year. Right now I'm doing St. Joseph's Holy Cloak novena, and a 30-day renewal of the consecration because it's being requested of all the parishioners of our parish.
On this feast day of St Joseph, I have to share one of the most beautiful tributes by a favorite priest, Father Chris Alar. He revealed some of the most powerful secrets of the graces given to St Joseph.
By coincidence, I just watched this video a few hours ago. I enjoy Father Alar's videos. I was pleasantly surprised a few months ago to find out my daughter watches his videos too. She no longer lives at home, attends a university where she is exposed to a lot of liberal ideas, so even though she rarely attends Mass, it seems she is still open to Catholicism, and these videos are lifelines in a stormy sea for young people like her. For old people, too. ️
You are blessed with a smart girl. I usually have to gently plead with my kids to listen to some Catholic wisdom. It has been getting easier though because they have begun to look for answers that the world can't give them.
I did the consecration to St. Joseph and prayed the novena. Now my son is at a crossroads and please pray he will be enlightened and have willpower to make the decision to reform his life
