On this episode of Clean and Sober Radio, host Gary Hendler and cohost Mark Sigmund welcomed Steve Forzato to the studio for a compelling conversation about his years in law enforcement, his efforts combating the opioid epidemic, and his current role as Director for Addiction and Recovery Education at Saint Joseph's University. The episode also featured Gary reflecting on a deeply personal and humbling experience after spending an evening at the Montgomery County Correctional Facility to celebrate 44 years in recovery. Gary shared how he looked back on his own life of addiction and the powerful realization that, instead of becoming an inmate there, he had ultimately gone on to serve as Vice President of the institution—a journey that underscored the transformative power of recovery and redemption.

Delivered by Vannesa Anggono from the Parish of Saint Mary Church Cadogan Street London, in the Diocese of Westminster, United Kingdom. Acts of the Apostles 18: 23-28; Rs psalm 47: 2-3.8-9.10; John 16: 23b-28.USING THE NAME OF JESUS Our meditation today has the theme: Using the Name ofJesus. The parish Priest is a very special position and ministry for a priest.People often think that the so called "parish priest'srecommendation" is a very important means to make things done so easilyand problems get solved quickly. The parish priest's name and his signatureserve half of the work done and it is evident how people have great trust onthe authority of their shepherd, the parish priest. For example, someone wants to send his children to aCatholic school affiliated with the parish. Or people who look for jobs at acompany owned by a parishioner. They submit the required documents and bringwith them the letter from the parish priest which they believe can endorsetheir admission. They believe that the will of the parish priest will be thepriority. However, in other occasions people tend to use the name of theparish priest without his consent because they want to justify the argument or theaction they want to defend.  This is similar to the way we deal with our Father inheaven. We use the name of Jesus Christ to intercede all our requests to theFather. In fact, all our prayers end with this phrase: "through JesusChrist our Lord", which means we actually use the name of Jesus. We feelspecial and honored to use His name. And Jesus himself remains our true servanteven though He is the Lord and is united with the Father and the Holy Spirit inheaven. Does Jesus allow us to use His name? Certainly Hedoes. We know from the Gospel of John that we have just heard that JesusHimself asks us to always use His name, as He says: "Whatever you ask theFather in My name, will be given to you". Using the name of Jesus means wereally know and acknowledge Jesus correctly, so we believe that He will grantwhat we need. We are not supposed to simply take for granted ourduty to know and trust Him correctly and completely. Based on this principle, aperson named Apollos presented to us in the first reading today was given allthe explanations about the person of Jesus Christ. With this way it was hopedthat he could use the name of Jesus correctly in all his preaching activities.We also have responsibility to use the name of Jesus properly in true faith,because our aim is to glorify the Lord and to strengthen our faith. We must be able to avoid using Jesus' name in vain orprofane His divine dignity with any form of blasphemies. We must not use thename of Jesus to support all form of violence, evil or cruelty that are againsthumanity. We must also avoid replacing the name of Jesus with the names ofother saints like the Virgin Mary, Saint Joseph, apostles and many other,because the name the Son of God, our Lord Jesus Christ is our only intercessorto God the Father.Let'spray. In the name of the Father ... O Lord Jesus Christ, strengthen our mindsand hearts to always use Your name properly every time we pray and ask theFather. May we faithfully keep your commandments and praise You through oursubmission to the guidance of the Holy Spirit now and for ever. Hail Mary fullof grace... In the name of the Father ...

St. Joseph's head coach Steve Donahue discussing his coaching philosophy and recent success. Donahue shared how he adapted his passing-oriented offense when taking over as head coach at St. Joseph's, modifying his approach to better suit his roster's strengths and the A-10 conference's physicality. He emphasized the importance of teaching players to make good decisions, particularly in ball movement and spacing, while focusing on winning through defensive rebounding and forcing difficult two-point shots. Donahue also discussed his player development approach, including using drills that replicate game situations and implementing a "5Hs" team-building exercise to quickly build relationships with new players. The conversation covered his coaching philosophy of allowing roles to develop organically rather than forcing them, and his approach to teaching players to catch and look rather than immediately dribbling.Donahue has built an accomplished head coaching career across college basketball stops at Cornell, Boston College, Penn, and Saint Joseph's, earning national and conference recognition at each level. In 2026, he was named Atlantic 10 Coach of the Year after leading Saint Joseph's to one of the league's top seasons, marking his latest honor for program-building success. He is a two-time NABC Regional Coach of the Year (2008, 2010) and recipient of the prestigious Clair Bee Award (2010), presented annually to the NCAA Division I coach who has made the most significant positive contribution to the sport.

Le Wall Street Journal a révélé que les Émirats arabes unis ont mené des frappes directes et secrètes contre l'Iran fin mars. L'Arabie saoudite aurait également répliqué de son côté, mais rien n'a été confirmé de manière officielle pour l'instant. Les craintes grandissent dans le Golfe face à l'effondrement de la fragile trêve entre les États-Unis et l'Iran et au retour de la région dans un cycle d'escalade militaire ouverte.

Why would a man embrace marriage and fatherhood in 2026? Most men are not asking that question with curiosity. They are asking it with exhaustion. They have heard a thousand reasons why marriage is a trap, why fatherhood is a burden, and why the risk is not worth the reward. And almost nobody is giving them a reason to say yes. Adam Lane Smith, The Attachment Specialist, sits down with Devin Schadt, Executive Director of Fathers of Saint Joseph, for a conversation about what fatherhood actually is, why men are starving for it without knowing it, and why the crisis at the center of every social, financial, and cultural problem in America traces back to one thing: the absence of fathers. What you will learn in this conversation: 1- Why masculinity finds its fulfillment in spiritual fatherhood and what that means for men who have never heard it framed that way 2- What the statistics on fatherless homes actually show and why every major social crisis connects back to this one root 3- Why men are wired for mission and what happens to a man's nervous system when that mission is denied or never given to him 4- Why living in relationship is the hardest and most necessary thing a man can do and why his instinct to solve and complete works against him 5- Why trust in God the Father is the foundation of becoming a father worth trusting and what that looks like in daily life 6- How a man leads his wife in a way that she follows eagerly and why most men have never been shown what that actually looks like 7- Why loneliness precedes depression in men and what the research says about isolation versus solitude 8- The five practical steps for building real brotherhood with other men and why most men's groups fail before they start 9- Why the mission of fatherhood is the one thing that can unite men across every political, cultural, and ideological divide If you are a man wondering whether marriage and fatherhood are worth it, or a father who is already in it and not sure he is doing it right, this conversation is going to give you something the culture has stopped offering: a reason to say yes.

Today’s Topics: Joshua Charles joins Terry for Friday with the Fathers 1) Gospel – John 14:1-6 – Jesus said to His disciples: “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You have faith in God; have faith also in Me. In My Father's house there are many dwelling places. If there were not, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back again and take you to Myself, so that where I am you also may be. Where I am going you know the way.” Thomas said to Him, “Master, we do not know where You are going; how can we know the way?” Jesus said to him, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” Memorial of Saint Joseph the Worker Saint Joseph, pray for us!

Send us Fan MailWork can feel like pressure, identity, or even fear. We slow down and look at a different lens: Saint Joseph the Worker, the quiet carpenter of Nazareth who provided for Jesus and Mary and shows us how ordinary labor can become a living prayer. If you're carrying anxiety about your job, your finances, or the weight of providing for a family, Joseph's steady, silent faith offers a grounded kind of hope.We talk through why the Church celebrates Saint Joseph the Worker on May 1, including Pope Pius XII's 1955 institution of the feast, and how this day highlights Catholic social teaching on the dignity of work. From commutes and paperwork to changing diapers and cleaning kitchens, we explore how honest tasks can be sanctified when we unite them to Christ with humility, integrity, and love. We also reflect on Joseph's biblical role as protector and provider, his obedience to God's guidance, and what his silence teaches about discernment and trust in divine providence.You'll come away with practical next steps for Catholic devotion: turning to Saint Joseph's intercession for workers and families, deepening prayer at home with sacramentals, and staying close to the sacraments and the Eucharist.

Saints du jour 2026-05-01 Saint Joseph artisan by Radio Maria France

Full Text of Readings Friday of the Fourth Week of Easter Lectionary: 283 The Saint of the day is Saint Joseph the Worker The Story of Saint Joseph the Worker To foster deep devotion to Saint Joseph among Catholics, and in response to the “May Day” celebrations for workers sponsored by Communists, Pope Pius XII instituted the feast of Joseph the Worker in 1955. This feast extends the long relationship between Joseph and the cause of workers in both Catholic faith and devotion. Beginning in the Book of Genesis, the dignity of human work has long been celebrated as a participation in the creative work of God. By work, humankind both fulfills the command found in Genesis to care for the earth (Gn 2:15) and to be productive in their labors. Saint Joseph, the carpenter and foster father of Jesus, is but one example of the holiness of human labor. Jesus, too, was a carpenter. He learned the trade from Joseph and spent his early adult years working side-by-side in Joseph's carpentry shop before leaving to pursue his ministry as preacher and healer. In his encyclical Laborem Exercens, Pope John Paul II stated: “the Church considers it her task always to call attention to the dignity and rights of those who work, to condemn situations in which that dignity and those rights are violated, and to help to guide [social] changes so as to ensure authentic progress by man and society.” Joseph is held up as a model of such work. Pius XII emphasized this when he said, “The spirit flows to you and to all men from the heart of the God-man, Savior of the world, but certainly, no worker was ever more completely and profoundly penetrated by it than the foster father of Jesus, who lived with Him in closest intimacy and community of family life and work.” Reflection To capture the devotion to Saint Joseph within the Catholic liturgy, in 1870, Pope Pius IX declared Saint Joseph the patron of the universal Church. In 1955, Pope Pius XII added the feast of Saint Joseph the Worker. This silent saint, who was given the noble task of caring and watching over the Virgin Mary and Jesus, now cares for and watches over the Church and models for all the dignity of human work.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

June and Jennifer Gibbons, twin sisters bound by silence and an eerie connection, lived a haunting life filled with creativity and madness.FEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Al Adamson, the beloved cult-horror director of such schlocky films as PSYCHO A-GO-GO and DRACULA VS. FRANKENSTEIN – was murdered in what can only be called a scene from one of his movies brought to life. (Murder Of The Horror Movie Maker) *** It's said that the devout Saint Joseph of Cupertino could fly, he could read people's thoughts, and could create rain during a drought. So why would the church do everything in its power to hide him from the masses of Christian believers? (The Flying Saint With Telepathic Abilities) *** A man sees two ghostly figures in a window's reflection – and one of them is holding a strange object. (Shades of White) *** Some suspect a serial killer while others point a finger at the paranormal, but nobody has been able to fully explain the mysterious disappearances from Vermont's Bennington Triangle. (Inside The Unsolved Disappearances Of The Bennington Triangle) *** Chingle Hall is one of Britain's oldest and most haunted buildings. Ghosts and poltergeist activity have been reported for many centuries with visions of monks being the most commonly reported phenomena. (Haunted Chingle Hall) *** June and Jennifer Gibbons displayed unsettling behavior early on, even for twins. They refused to speak despite their ability to do so, and they insisted on never being apart. But that is not the strangest thing that happened between these disturbed twins.

Few creatures are as shrouded in mystery as the Sasquatch, more commonly known as Bigfoot. For decades, and perhaps even centuries, people in North America have claimed encounters with him. There are so many cases and they are so well documented that they cannot be cast aside simply as hearsay or rumor. Yet after all this time, we are no closer to understanding who this creature might be…or are we.In this book, researcher and biblical scholar Adam Stokes asks us to look for answers to the identity of Bigfoot not in present, contemporary encounters but in the past. In turning to ancient texts such as the Bible and other works, we find persons and figures whose description eerily mirrors those of the Sasquatch. These are our best sources in determining the origin and nature of North America's most infamous cryptid.Adam Oliver Stokes (born 1981) has degrees in religion from Duke University and Yale Divinity School. He has published on a variety of topics including biblical studies, Mormon studies, Classical studies and ancient American history. His work has been featured in numerous journals and magazines including the Classical Outlook, Journal of Book of Mormon Studies and Ancient American magazine. He is the author of FROM EGYPT TO OHIO: A SEMITIC ORIGIN FOR THE GIANTS OF NORTH AMERICA and PERSPECTIVES ON THE OLD TESTAMENT: DIVERSE PERSPECTIVES FROM ANCIENT TO MODERN TIMES. He has also appeared on multiple podcasts including EARTH ANCIENTS, LOST ORIGINS, BROADCAST TEAM ALPHA, EXPLORING THE BIZARRE and MY ALIEN LIFE. He currently teaches high school Latin in New Jersey and a course on the Old Testament at Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia.https://www.instagram.com/adamthegiantguy2019/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

Political theorist Alisa Kessel (University of Puget Sound) has an important and impressive new book, Rape Fantasies: Rape Culture and the Persistence of Sexual Violence. Kessel's research grew out of her work on questions of consent and how consent is embedded within the social contract structure. Initially the plan for the research was to critique this concept of “rape culture” which had found its way into popular discourse as well as academic work and was somewhat unclear in terms of application and understanding. Kessel notes in the book and in our conversations that her thinking about the idea of rape culture owes a great deal to black feminists who had been writing about and discussing the underlying issue at the heart of rape culture, which is not just about violence against women, but more broadly about the political, societal, and cultural dimensions of domination, victimhood, and human value. Rape Fantasies develops this understanding and provides fascinating examples of this intersectional concept. One of the key claims of the book is that sexual violence is not accidental, it is not necessarily based on physical urges that just cannot be controlled; it is, instead, based in the dynamic of political domination thus making rape itself a political act. Part of the unexamined problem with rape is that it is built around an entitlement to dominate, which also makes the threat of sexual violence a political act. Rape Fantasies traces this idea through a number of different case studies that unpack the dimensions of this threat of sexual violence in a variety of circumstances and situations, tied, inevitably, to the duality of domination and subordination or victimization, which is also wrapped up with questions of who is deserving of protection and who is not as deserving. Kessel explains that in examining sexual violence, what she found was multifaceted reflections and refractions, since the issue and the individual's experience with sexual violence are neither simple nor linear. And the examples and case studies that make up the thrust of the book present this multidimensional nature of sexual violence. This multifaceted thinking about sexual violence also integrates an intersectional analysis, drawing on work from indigenous studies, feminist and women's studies, feminist theory, black feminism, political theory and other connected schools of thought. The interrogation of rape and rape culture, particular in context of the political valence, “occurs across multiple axes of oppression, including white supremacist, heteropatriarchal, cisgender, settler colonial, and capitalist axes.”[1] The case study examples in Rape Fantasies include bathroom bills across the states, the idea of the frontier and modes of extraction, consent contracts and consent apps, and OnlyFans and intimacy on demand. Each example is deeply researched and unpacked, providing the reader with historical, legal, political, economic, cultural, and societal analyses of these complex areas of domination and entitlement. Rape Fantasies: Rape Culture and the Persistence of Sexual Violence is an expansive undertaking, bringing together theoretical frameworks from different schools of thought and analysis, threaded with important case studies that help the reader think deeply about this concept and how it is operationalized in our daily lives. Even if we are not aware of these narratives, they surround us and shape so much of our thinking about how the world works. And why sexual violence remains so persistent. Susan Liebell is Professor Emerita of Political Science at Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia. Lilly J. Goren is a Professor of Political Science at Carroll University in Waukesha, Wisconsin.  [1] Alisa Kessel. Rape Fantasies: Rape Culture and the Persistence of Sexual Violence.

Part of the unexamined problem with rape is that it is built around an entitlement to dominate, which also makes the threat of sexual violence a political act. Rape Fantasies traces this idea through a number of different case studies that unpack the dimensions of this threat of sexual violence in a variety of circumstances and situations, tied, inevitably, to the duality of domination and subordination or victimization, which is also wrapped up with questions of who is deserving of protection and who is not as deserving. Kessel explains that in examining sexual violence, what she found was multifaceted reflections and refractions, since the issue and the individual's experience with sexual violence are neither simple nor linear. And the examples and case studies that make up the thrust of the book present this multidimensional nature of sexual violence. This multifaceted thinking about sexual violence also integrates an intersectional analysis, drawing on work from indigenous studies, feminist and women's studies, feminist theory, black feminism, political theory and other connected schools of thought. The interrogation of rape and rape culture, particular in context of the political valence, “occurs across multiple axes of oppression, including white supremacist, heteropatriarchal, cisgender, settler colonial, and capitalist axes.”[1] The case study examples in Rape Fantasies include bathroom bills across the states, the idea of the frontier and modes of extraction, consent contracts and consent apps, and OnlyFans and intimacy on demand. Each example is deeply researched and unpacked, providing the reader with historical, legal, political, economic, cultural, and societal analyses of these complex areas of domination and entitlement. Rape Fantasies: Rape Culture and the Persistence of Sexual Violence is an expansive undertaking, bringing together theoretical frameworks from different schools of thought and analysis, threaded with important case studies that help the reader think deeply about this concept and how it is operationalized in our daily lives. Even if we are not aware of these narratives, they surround us and shape so much of our thinking about how the world works. And why sexual violence remains so persistent.

Political theorist Alisa Kessel (University of Puget Sound) has an important and impressive new book, Rape Fantasies: Rape Culture and the Persistence of Sexual Violence. Kessel's research grew out of her work on questions of consent and how consent is embedded within the social contract structure.

Plus de 1300 morts, près de 4000 blessés, 1 million de déplacés : c'est le bilan d'un mois de guerre menée par Israël au Liban… L'escalade a commencé le 2 mars quand le Hezbollah a lancé une attaque sur l'État hébreu pour venger la mort du guide suprême iranien Ali Khamenei. La riposte israélienne a été massive : pluie de bombes sur les fiefs du mouvement chiite, assassinats ciblés jusqu'au cœur de Beyrouth, incursion terrestre de quatre divisions, envoi de centaines de drones qui quadrillent en permanence le ciel libanais… Israël a revendiqué hier 3500 frappes depuis le 2 mars sur le Liban. Alors jusqu'où l'État hébreu est-il prêt à aller pour désarmer le Hezbollah ? Veut-il vraiment réoccuper le Sud-Liban, 26 ans après en être parti, chassé par le mouvement chiite soutenu par l'Iran ? L'État hébreu peut-il répéter ce qu'il appelle « le modèle Gaza », c'est-à-dire raser les villages frontaliers pour empêcher le retour de centaines de milliers d'habitants de la région ?  L'armée libanaise a-t-elle les moyens de contrer pareil scénario ? Quelle est la stratégie du Hezbollah, accusé par le gouvernement libanais d'avoir entrainé le pays dans la guerre ?   Invités :  Anthony Samrani, co-rédacteur en chef du journal L'Orient-Le Jour, a publié en 2024 dans la collection Tract de Gallimard « Liban, la fin d'un pays, la fin d'un monde ? » Denis Charbit, politiste et professeur de sciences politiques à l'université ouverte d'Israël, auteur de Yitzhak Rabin, la paix assassinée paru chez Lattes.

Friends of the Rosary,Today, March 20, a day after the Solemnity of Saint Joseph, is the memorial of St. John Nepomucene (1340-1393), a priest of Bohemia who was martyred by King Wenceslaus IV because he refused to break the seal of confession.In the Gospel, it's shown that the enemies of Christ have increased hostility, becoming more violent and more determined to kill the Author of Life.Our Lord, however, as He nears the end of His public life and awaits His hour, continues to teach in the temple during the day, and large crowds come to hear and admire Him.And while His enemies plot His downfall, Christ Jesus spends the nights in prayer on the Mount of Olives.The contrast between the character of Christ and that of His enemies could not be more pronounced.Back to today, we have to analyze whether we seek vengeance upon those who oppose us, or wish them evil, and urge others to despise and condemn them. Or we leave our reputation in the hands of God and imitate Christ's efforts to benefit those who hated and condemned Him.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Today’s Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) Gospel – Luke 2:41-51a – Each year Jesus' parents went to Jerusalem for the feast of Passover, and when He was twelve years old, they went up according to festival custom. After they had completed its days, as they were returning, the Boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, but His parents did not know it. Thinking that He was in the caravan, they journeyed for a day and looked for Him among their relatives and acquaintances, but not finding Him, they returned to Jerusalem to look for Him. After three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions, and all who heard Him were astounded at His understanding and His answers. When His parents saw Him, they were astonished, and His mother said to Him, “Son, why have You done this to us? Your father and I have been looking for You with great anxiety.” And He said to them, “Why were you looking for Me? Did you not know that I must be in My Father's house?” But they did not understand what He said to them. He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was obedient to them. Solemnity of Saint Joseph, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary Saint Joseph, pray for us! Bishop Sheen quote of the day

Gospel  Matthew 1:16, 18-21, 24a Jacob was the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary. Of her was born Jesus who is called the Christ. Now this is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about. When his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, but before they lived together, she was found with child through the Holy Spirit. Joseph her husband, since he was a righteous man, yet unwilling to expose her to shame, decided to divorce her quietly. Such was his intention when, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home. For it is through the Holy Spirit that this child has been conceived in her. She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” When Joseph awoke, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took his wife into his home. Reflection I often wonder how much Joseph and Mary knew who Jesus would be as he grew and proclaimed a new truth, a new awareness of God. I don't believe they did know the fullness of who He would be. And it reminds me so much that when we are dealing with him and asking him to guide our life, he's taking us step by step, not directly to the end and the purpose of our fullness of life, but rather each step is something that is one more step toward the fullness of who he wants us to be. Takes time, reflection, and wonder, and the imagination that somehow in each of our lives we have a goal to complete and we will never know fully the fullness of that until we're with God in heaven forever. Closing Prayer Father, you speak to us in so many ways through dreams, through other signs, through a person's experiences they share with us. Help us always to be eagerly listening to how you are revealing to us the role that we're asked to play in this world. We ask this in Jesus' name, Amen. Learn more about your ad choices.

Saint Joseph, faithful guardian of Jesus and Mary, teach us obedience, humility, and trust in God. Protect our families, guide our work, and help us to serve the Lord with quiet faithfulness. Obtain for us the grace to live well, to love deeply, and to die in the peace of Christ. Amen.

Friends of the Rosary,Today, March 19, is the Solemnity of Saint Joseph, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and the legal father of Jesus (nutritor Domini).Teresa of Ávila wrote, "To other saints our Lord has given power to help in one sort of need, but this glorious saint, as I know by experience, helps us in every need."In 1870, Pius IX declared Joseph to be the patron and protector of the universal family of the Church. He is the patron of the dying because Jesus and Mary were at his deathbed. He is also the patron of fathers, of carpenters, and of social justice. Many religious orders and communities are placed under his patronage.Saint John Paul II said, "In his self-gift to Mary and Jesus, Joseph fully shares in authentic human fatherhood and the mission of a father in the family."The Directory on Popular Piety and the Liturgy says, "His mission in God's plan of salvation was to legally insert Jesus Christ into the line of David, from whom, according to the prophets, the Messiah would be born, and to act as his father and guardian."Joseph was the "silent" person, a righteous man who faithfully fulfilled his mission of protecting and guarding God's greatest treasures upon earth, Jesus and Mary.He was an ordinary manual laborer, although descended from the royal house of David.No words of his are recorded in the Gospels. Most of our information about St. Joseph comes from the opening two chapters of St. Matthew's Gospel.At present, there are two major feasts in his honor. On March 19, when we acknowledge his suffering as part of the work of redemption, and on May 1, we honor him as the patron of workmen.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Note: This relationship should not include burying a statue of Saint Joseph upside down in your yard, thinking that will somehow get your house sold.

Read OnlineJoseph her husband, since he was a righteous man, yet unwilling to expose her to shame, decided to divorce her quietly. Such was his intention when, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home…” Matthew 1:19–20In Jewish tradition, righteousness meant living in full conformity with God's covenant. This included keeping the Law of Moses, but also having faith in the Lawgiver—God. One does not become righteous by external observance of the Law alone, but by faith in God. Recall that “Abram put his faith in the LORD, who attributed it to him as an act of righteousness” (Genesis 15:6). Saint Paul explains that Abraham was righteous because “He did not doubt God's promise in unbelief; rather, he was empowered by faith and gave glory to God and was fully convinced that what he had promised he was also able to do” (Romans 4:20–21). Noah was also identified as righteous, because “Noah walked with God” (Genesis 6:9).Today, we honor another man Scripture defines as righteous: Saint Joseph. By calling him righteous, the Gospel associates him with these fundamental Old Testament figures who lived by faith, but it also elevates Joseph above them all, given that his faith bore witness not to the Old Testament Covenant, but to the Messiah. His fidelity to God's call to care for and protect his immaculate spouse and the Christ Child, even at personal cost, is an inspiring witness. It shows us that righteousness is ultimately expressed in sacrificial love and trust in God—trust that brings forth the Savior of the World.Joseph's righteousness is expressed not in words but in actions. He listens to God's angel in a dream and responds with complete trust, taking Mary into his home and embracing his role in the mystery of the Incarnation. Joseph's faith is especially manifested by the fact that what the angel revealed to him and asked him to do was confounding. He was asked to believe that his spouse became pregnant “through the Holy Spirit” and that her Child “will save his people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21). Joseph's response manifested faith, courage, and generosity: “When Joseph awoke, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took his wife into his home” (Matthew 1:24).Joseph emulates the response we must all make to God. Like Abraham, whose faith was tested when God asked the unthinkable, Joseph's faith informed and guided his human reason with the mystery of God's Wisdom. Like Joseph, we are often called to trust God when His plan surpasses our understanding. Whether it involves our vocation, a trial, or an unexpected turn in life, Joseph's example teaches us that faith allows us to see with God's eyes, guiding our reason to respond with trust and obedience. Imitating him takes courage, but like Joseph, we must hear God say to us, “Do not be afraid.” Walking by faith, not by sight, takes courage, fidelity, and resolve.Today's Solemnity especially highlights Joseph's vocation as husband of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Though he was a carpenter, the primary way he fulfilled his God-given responsibilities was to care for his wife and Child. He did this by providing for them and protecting them, fleeing to Egypt to escape Herod's wrath, and later to Nazareth, far from his hometown of Bethlehem. His fidelity to God's will, especially in taking Mary as his wife, likely brought confusion and misunderstanding from his extended family and associates. Yet Joseph accepted this earthly shame with grace, choosing obedience to God over the opinions of men. For him, God's will came first, and his faith in action was the source of his righteousness.Reflect today on the vocation and mission God has given to you. No matter your calling or life's circumstances, there will always be tests and trials. The true test of our righteousness is not found in the avoidance of trials, but in the way we face them with faith and trust in God. If the Father in Heaven would permit Saint Joseph, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and the Christ Child to face earthly struggles, then we can be assured of the same. Today, Saint Joseph teaches us how to respond to those trials. Ponder those difficulties that you tend to avoid or complain about, and imitate Saint Joseph by seeking God's mysterious will and following it with all your heart. Saint Joseph, you were righteous because you believed in God's mysterious plan and acted upon it with unwavering faith. Pray for me, that I may imitate your example in my life's vocation. May I never run from my duties, but embrace them with courage, humility, and trust in God's will. Saint Joseph, pray for me. Jesus, I trust in You.Source: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

Full Text of Readings Solemnity of Saint Joseph, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary Lectionary: 543 The Saint of the day is Saint Joseph, Husband of Mary Saint Joseph's Story The Bible pays Saint Joseph the highest compliment: he was a “just” man. The quality meant a lot more than faithfulness in paying debts. When the Bible speaks of God “justifying” someone, it means that God, the all-holy or “righteous” one, so transforms a person that the individual shares somehow in God's own holiness, and hence it is really “right” for God to love him or her. In other words, God is not playing games, acting as if we were lovable when we are not. By saying Joseph was “just,” the Bible means that he was one who was completely open to all that God wanted to do for him. He became holy by opening himself totally to God. The rest we can easily surmise. Think of the kind of love with which he wooed and won Mary, and the depth of the love they shared during their marriage. It is no contradiction of Joseph's manly holiness that he decided to divorce Mary when she was found to be with child. The important words of the Bible are that he planned to do this “quietly” because he was “a righteous man, yet unwilling to expose her to shame” (Matthew 1:19). The just man was simply, joyfully, wholeheartedly obedient to God—in marrying Mary, in naming Jesus, in shepherding the precious pair to Egypt, in bringing them to Nazareth, in the undetermined number of years of quiet faith and courage. Reflection The Bible tells us nothing of Joseph in the years after the return to Nazareth except the incident of finding Jesus in the Temple (Luke 2:41–51). Perhaps this can be taken to mean that God wants us to realize that the holiest family was like every other family, that the circumstances of life for the holiest family were like those of every family, so that when Jesus' mysterious nature began to appear, people couldn't believe that he came from such humble beginnings: “Is he not the carpenter's son? Is not his mother named Mary…?” (Matthew 13:55a). It was almost as indignant as “Can anything good come from Nazareth?” (John 1:46b).Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media
