Novena of St. Joseph 2014
10 March 2014
You, O Saint Joseph, are truly the model of holiness, not only for the mission that God has entrusted to you, but, above all, for the intimacy experienced with Jesus. Jesus learned from you to taste the flavors of our earthly life and you learned from him to be a mirror of the divine requirements present in your life. The saint, in fact, is one who allows himself to be invested with the very sanctity of Christ Jesus.
Praying is breathing with God

From Abel's life onward, man has discovered that prayer is the most powerful source of energy that people can experience. Throughout the Bible, prayer appears as the breath of every living thing. This breath, evidently, was the soul of the family of Nazareth. For Joseph, Mary and Jesus, the invitation to prayer was marked in five moments of the day, almost to give continuity to the praise, obeying the word that Jesus would have taught to the disciples as we read in the Gospel of John: «Without me there is no you can do nothing" (15,5) and in that of Luke: "We must always pray" (Lk 18,1).

February 2: Jesus introduces himself to the world
by Mario Carrera
Faith is joy sung with the musical notes of the life of those who believe. Pope Francis, at the end of the Year of Faith, gave the Church the tools of joy with the Apostolic Exhortation which begins with these words: «The joy of the Gospel fills the hearts and entire lives of those who encounter Jesus ». Whoever approaches Jesus feels this joy welling up in their soul which makes room in the interior emptiness and erases the sadness of a life without enlightening hopes.
