The Year of St. Joseph

Pope Francis has announced that we will mark this year A.D. 2021 as the Year of St. Joseph. In his apostolic letter Patris Corde, the pope in-vites us to learn from and be inspired by St. Jo-seph who shows us what it means to desire and follow God’s will in our lives.

“The spiritual path that Joseph traces for us is not one that explains, but accepts. Only as a re-sult of this acceptance, this reconciliation, can we begin to glimpse a broader history, a deeper meaning. Joseph is certainly not passively re-signed, but courageously and firmly proactive. In our own lives, acceptance and welcome can be an expression of the Holy Spirit’s gift of for-titude. Only the Lord can give us the strength needed to accept life as it is, with all its contra-dictions, frustrations and disappointments.

God always finds a way to save us, provided we show the same creative courage as the car-penter of Nazareth, who was able to turn a problem into a possibility by trusting always in divine providence. If at times God seems not to help us, surely this does not mean that we have been abandoned, but instead are being trusted to plan, to be creative, and to find solutions ourselves.

Just as God told Joseph: “Son of David, do not be afraid!” (Mt 1:20), so he seems to tell us: “Do not be afraid!” We need to set aside all anger and disappointment, and to embrace the way things are, even when they do not turn out as we wish. Not with mere resignation but with hope and courage. In this way, we become open to a deeper meaning. Our lives can be miracu-lously reborn if we find the courage to live them in accordance with the Gospel.” (Patris Corde, December 8, 2020)

We begin this new year still feeling the effects of the Covid crisis, aware of our human frailty and in need of the grace of God at each moment of every day. How will you embrace new life this year with creative courage and reliance on God’s providence?

Word of Life “There is such a wide spectrum of issues involving the protection of human life and the promotion of human dignity. Good people frequently disagree on which prob-lems to address, which policies to adopt and how best to apply them. But for citizens and elected officials alike, the basic principle is simple: We must begin with a commit-ment never to intentionally kill, or collude in the killing, of any innocent human life, no matter how broken, un-formed, disabled or desperate that life may seem. In oth-er words, the choice of certain ways of acting is always and radically incompatible with the love of God and the dignity of the human person created in His image.” United States Conference of Catholic Bishops “Living the Gospel of Life,” © 1998 USCCB.

FEAST OF FAITH The Greeting At several points during the liturgy, the presider greets us with the words, “The Lord be with you.” These simple words are not like the greetings that we exchange all day long—our “good mornings,” our “hellos” and “how are yous.” This liturgical greeting has roots deep in the Old Testament. In the book of Ruth, the words “the Lord be with you” are spoken by Boaz to the harvesters who are laboring in his fields (2:4); in the book of Judges, an angel speaks similar words to Gideon (6:12), where they are words of promise: for soon Gideon will lead his oppressed peo-ple to victory and freedom. For us, the words become a greeting of peace, a prayer that the Lord will indeed be with us, and a reminder of his promise to be with us always, to the end of the world (Matthew 28:20). Our response—“And also with you,” soon to be “And with your spirit”—returns to the presider this prayer for the Lord’s presence. As we know from the scrip-tures, a prayer for the Lord’s presence is no small thing, for when God comes in our midst, God brings healing, grace, and challenge. God’s presence trans-forms us.
