Podcast appearances and mentions of Saint Joseph

Read OnlineBut the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, because your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall name him John. And you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth, for he will be great in the sight of the Lord.” Luke 1:13–15Unlike Saint Joseph and the Blessed Virgin Mary, Zechariah doubted the angel of the Lord's revelation. Our Blessed Mother encountered the Archangel Gabriel at the Annunciation and responded, “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word” (Luke 1:38). An angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, and when Joseph awoke, “he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him” (Matthew 1:24).Today, we are given a similar scene to ponder. Zechariah and Elizabeth are identified as being “righteous in the eyes of God, observing all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blamelessly” (Luke 1:6). In other words, Zechariah was a holy man of God. While he was standing at the altar of incense located in the Holy Place, just outside the veil of the Holy of Holies, the Archangel Gabriel appeared to him to announce that his wife had conceived a child in her old age. Gabriel further reveals, “He will be filled with the Holy Spirit even from his mother's womb, and he will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God” (Luke 1:15–16).Given Zechariah's personal holiness and the extraordinary revelation he received from Gabriel, he should have believed what Gabriel said without hesitation. When he failed to do so, Gabriel said to him, “I am Gabriel, who stand before God. I was sent to speak to you and to announce to you this good news. But now you will be speechless and unable to talk until the day these things take place, because you did not believe my words…” (Luke 1:19–20).This chastisement was clearly for Zechariah's benefit. Despite his lack of faith, God wanted him to participate in His divine plan of salvation. The chastisement was not a punishment in a punitive way. It was meant to instill greater faith in him, and it accomplished its purpose.Most of us are more like Zechariah than we are like our Blessed Mother and Saint Joseph. Despite our best intentions and attempts to remain faithful to God's will, we stumble. When that happens, we must see any consequences as a gift of love from God. Chastisements come in many forms. They are meant to wake us up to a greater obedience to God's will. Reflect today on any ways that your sins have resulted in consequences. It takes deep humility to admit our sins and take responsibility for their effects. Though it is easy to be angry, to point the finger elsewhere, and to justify our actions, doing so is a rejection of God's loving chastisement meant for our good. Strive to imitate Zecharaiah by humbly changing when your sin results in consequences so that God can bring good into your life, even from a lack of faith and obedience to His will.Most merciful Lord, You chastise those whom You love so as to redirect them to Your holy will. When I sin, please help me to accept the consequences with humility and as a motivation to turn back to You in fidelity and love. Please make me holy in imitation of Zechariah, Saint Joseph, and our Blessed Mother. Jesus, I trust in You.Image: William Blake, CC0, via Wikimedia CommonsSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

Advent has a way of bringing the quiet and the uncomfortable to the surface, and Saint Joseph meets us there with steady strength.In Week Three of A Quiet Light, we reflect on Saint Joseph, Terror of Demons, and pray with Zephaniah 3:11–12—a lesser-known passage that reminds us God draws near to the humble and the lowly. Joseph shows us that real strength isn't loud or forceful. The word we're sitting with this week? ✨ Courage. The kind that steps into the dark places trusting God is already there.Our invitation this week is simple: bring what's hidden into the light. Take a few quiet moments to examine your heart, and if you're able, consider reconciliation as a way to make room for peace and joy.Don't miss the Cutting Room Floor at the end for deeper reflections, personal stories, and a few moments that didn't make it into the main episode. ...............................

Joseph lived this in a very real way. The word we're sitting with this week? ✨ Rest. The kind of rest that comes from putting things back in God's hands.Our invitation this week is simple: let your daily work become a place to talk to God.

Let Him lighten the load.Don't miss the Cutting Room Floor at the end for some extra stories and moments we couldn't fit into the episode.

Delivered by Jeril from the Parish of Saint Joseph in the Archdiocese of Makassar, Indonesia. Isaiah 40: 25-31; Rs psalm 103: 1-2.3-4.8.10; Matthew 11: 28-30.OVERCOMING WEAKNESSES The title for ourmeditation today is: Overcoming Weaknesses. Our preparation during Adventseason for welcoming the Lord's coming, among the many things to do, issomething that will be the focus of our today's reflection, namely to overcomeour own weaknesses. Our deficiency in the form of physical and mental pain orilness is the most common weakness in us. The surce of this weakness is eitherfrom within or outside ourselves. All weaknesses inthis world and in our lives are temporary. For example, people who have canceror high blood pressure will experience their freedom only after they die. Afterdeath they no longer have cancer or high blood pressure. Many people and maybeyou often complain and say this following statement: "How long will mypatience be in the midst of problems and sufferings I face?" This is thegeneral attitude of us human beings towards the weaknesses that we have, and weseem to believe that problems and sufferings are heavier than our abilities toovercome. Our weaknesses oftenseem so real that they can be seen by others. With the existence of a verywidespread communication tools and the mentality of people today to freely spreadinformation, these weaknesses easily become so interested by many people. Oftenin this way, people who are victims of oppression, harassment or slander willsuffer even more greater. Human weaknesses are thus easy to become a tool ofoppression, violence and profit for those who have power. From the point ofview of the Christian faith, this weakness in humans must be transformed tobecome strength, to be more positive and to encourage us to live a good life inaccordance with God's will. If God's will requires a person to be faithful inhis daily prayers and Sunday obligation, he must change the habit of forgettingthem or the tendency to overwork so to cause him not anymore having enough timefor God. Faith in God always has a function to correct human weaknesses andshortcomings, so that we can restore again our dignity as true human persons.   In this moment ofAdvent, it is very necessary to renew wrong attitudes and bad habits thatprevent us from doing good. Since people are often not able to get out of theirown weaknesses, it is very necessary to rely on God's power to overcome thoseweaknesses. The book of the prophet Isaiah confirms that God Almighty givesstrength to those who are weak. Likewise the Lord Jesus Christ invites andattracts people who are weak, tired and weary to come to Him. He provides allpossibilities to make them refreshed and recovered. Let's pray. In the name of the Father... O most loving Lord, strengthen us so that we can renew ourselves from ourweaknesses and become more passionate to love you and our neighbours. Glory tothe Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit ... In the name of the Father...

It's time to MAN UP on Morning Light! Each week at this time, we talk with gentlemen from across the Diocese of Boise, getting our hands dirty on a variety of topics affecting Catholic men today. Dcn. Eric Meyer from St. Augustine's in Moscow joins us today to share his thoughts on the theme for the month of December - "The Silent Strength of Saint Joseph"

Welcome to Week One of A Quiet Light, our Advent journey with Saint Joseph from Advent to Epiphany. If you missed the introduction episode, go back and give it a listen — it sets the tone for everything we're walking through together.This week, we're sitting with the title Saint Joseph, Most Faithful and praying with Psalm 122:1–9, the psalm Joseph himself would've prayed and carried in his heart. The word that stands out this week? Peace. Peace in a season that often feels anything but peaceful.In the episode, we talk about: • How Saint Joseph lived a simple, steady rhythm of prayer — not to check a box, but to stay rooted in God all day long. • How his quiet faithfulness invites us into deeper spiritual discipline, not perfection. • The power of posture and praying with our whole body — kneeling, lighting a candle, creating sacred space. • How the artwork for this week reflects Joseph's urgency to pray and his readiness to respond to God. • What it means to become “expectant” with hope — not just for Mary, but for Joseph as a father preparing his heart for Jesus.Your challenge for Week One:Choose one small resolution that brings more light and intention into your prayer this week. Maybe it's five extra minutes using Lectio Divina with Scripture, kneeling beside your bed, or praying with a candle lit — one quiet step toward faithfulness.Tune in, pray with us, and let this Advent begin gently, quietly, faithfully. Let's Go Be the Light. 

Joseph de Cupertino (1603-1663), parfois appelé « le saint qui volait », est une figure fascinante de l'histoire religieuse. Né Giuseppe Maria Desa à Cupertino, dans les Pouilles (sud de l'Italie), il est aujourd'hui connu comme l'un des mystiques les plus singuliers de l'Église catholique, canonisé en 1767 par Clément XIII.Issu d'une famille très pauvre, il connaît une enfance difficile : maladroit, souvent malade, peu instruit, il peine à trouver sa place. Très jeune, pourtant, il développe une intense vie spirituelle. Il tente plusieurs fois d'entrer chez les franciscains mais est refusé à cause de son manque d'éducation et de ses difficultés sociales. Finalement, il est accepté comme frère lai, puis ordonné prêtre en 1628, ce qui est en soi un petit miracle vu son niveau scolaire.Ce qui le rend célèbre, ce sont ses extases répétées, décrites par des centaines de témoins : fidèles, moines, évêques, autorités civiles… Il suffisait qu'il entende le nom de Dieu, qu'il voit une image sacrée, ou qu'il soit pris par une émotion religieuse intense, et il entrait dans un état de transe. Selon les récits de l'époque, son corps s'élevait alors d'un ou deux mètres dans les airs : c'est le phénomène de lévitation, qu'on lui attribue plus de 70 fois de manière « officielle ». Ces épisodes duraient parfois plusieurs minutes et étaient si impressionnants que les supérieurs ont fini par le cacher du public pour éviter les attroupements.Face à ces manifestations extraordinaires, l'Église, prudente, soumet Joseph à des enquêtes. Il ne sera jamais condamné : aucun signe de fraude ou de trouble mental grave n'est relevé. On estime qu'il vivait dans un état de contemplation extrême, que l'époque interprétait comme surnaturel.Sa vie est également marquée par une grande simplicité, une immense charité, et une compassion profonde, notamment envers les malades et les personnes pauvres. Il passe les dernières années de sa vie à Osimo, où il meurt en 1663.Saint Joseph de Cupertino est aujourd'hui le patron des étudiants en examens, car on raconte qu'il réussit son propre examen d'ordination uniquement grâce à une question miraculeusement simple… et à sa piété. Il est aussi le patron des aviateurs, des astronautes et… des personnes maladroites.En résumé, Joseph de Cupertino est l'un des mystiques les plus mystérieux et les plus attachants du XVIIᵉ siècle : un homme simple, profondément religieux, entouré de récits extraordinaires qui continuent d'intriguer historiens et croyants.

Today’s Topics: 1) Gospel – LK 21:1-4 – When Jesus looked up he saw some wealthy people putting their offerings into the treasury and he noticed a poor widow putting in two small coins.

It's one week until Advent, we're kicking off this journey with Saint Joseph — the quiet and steady light we didn't know we were aching for. After a year of leaning on our spiritual mamas, the Lord kept tugging our hearts in 2025 toward this good and holy father.We're sharing how Saint Joseph has been showing up for us, why his strength and tenderness matter right now, and how walking with his titles for six weeks — all the way through Christmas and into Epiphany — can help you slow down, breathe, and pray a little deeper this season. We hope you will join us!It's not too late to grab your Quiet Light Devotional to follow along and join us in the saerch for peace.

Fr. Matthew Spencer joins Patrick to discuss A Happy Death Father Spencer gives an update on the dramatic event that happened in his life? (12:47) how are the sacraments instrumental in a happy death? (19:55) Paul - My father had a happy death. He had a great life, and died well. He gave everything to God all the way to the end which was remarkable. You can say a lot during life and live a lot, but if you're faith is there, and still strong, it represents a good and happy death. (25:22) Break 1 What do you do about the fear of pain of death? (33:18) Sal - How we live a good life and have the thought of purgatory. It's kind of confusing. You lead a good life and do the right things and then there's that possibility. Can you explain? (37:24) Lisa - Anointing of the sick and apostolic pardon. Mother is 93 and in memory care. We did both of those earlier this year. How often can you have that done before death? (42:52) Break 2 Steven - Father and his death. Not close growing up. When he died, he never seemed to have peace. I went into see him. He had a peace on his face. After the funeral, I found out dad was one of 12 kids and his dad was an alcoholic who took abuse from his father. God gives you peace in death and he had it.

He was a peasant named Hilarion in the district of Vologda, and lived a simple, laboring life until he began to lose his sight. Not despairing, Hilarion went to all the churches nearby and asked that services of intercession be offered for him. One day, during the Divine Liturgy, Hilarion beheld a man in white clothing who told him that his name was Cosmas, blessed him, and told him that he would soon be healed. The next day Hilarion was going to church again and the Holy Unmercenaries Cosmas and Damian appeared to him along with an icon of the Mother of God. A voice from the icon said that the people must cleanse the place where he stood and erect a cross there. Upon venerating the icon, Hilarion was instantly and completely healed. Returning to his village, he joyfully told what had happened. The villagers cleansed the place, as commanded in Hilarion's vision, set up a cross, and built a chapel to house the icon, which began to work many miracles. When the bishop learned of these events, he determined to found a monastery on that spot, and made Hilarion the first monk, giving him the name of Joseph. Saint Joseph spent the next thirty years there in prayer and great asceticism: he would spend the winter nights without sleep, standing in prayer before the miraculous icon of the Theotokos. He reposed in peace and was buried in the chapel that he and his fellow-villagers had built years before.

Text and Be HeardGambling addiction is silently devastating college campuses across America. From the Collegiate Recovery Conference at St. Joseph's University in Philadelphia, we witness firsthand how sports betting has become an epidemic among 18-24 year old males. The statistics are shocking: 20% of financial aid money now goes toward gambling debts or creating accounts for more betting. What starts as an exciting way to enhance sports watching quickly spirals into anxiety, depression, poor academic performance, and financial disaster.But reaching these students requires more than warnings about gambling, alcohol, or drugs. Their 20-year-old minds often tune out direct addiction talk. The most effective approach? Simply asking "How do you feel?" and "What are you trying to do with your life?" College represents an intense period of identity formation—figuring out careers, potential life partners, and personal talents—all while navigating immense pressure. We must normalize that feeling anxious or depressed during this time is perfectly natural, while emphasizing that numbing out through substances or gambling only compounds problems.The universal message resonating throughout the conference applies to everyone, whether in recovery or not: hard work is the only pathway to the life you want. Nothing worthwhile comes without effort—not financial success, loving relationships, spiritual growth, or personal fulfillment. Part of this work involves stepping outside comfort zones. Don't just attend your usual meetings or stick with familiar campus resources. Travel more. Meet diverse people. Attend conferences. Learn from others' approaches. As we finished our day at St. Joseph's before heading to explore Philadelphia (including running up those iconic Rocky Steps), we were reminded that each 24-hour period offers magical potential for transformation. Whatever challenges you're facing, keep moving forward—you're capable of becoming a winner in your own recovery story.Support the showRecovery is Beautiful.

To Italians, bread is life. With 250 varieties across the country, it's eaten with almost every meal. Its importance speaks to national values of community, tradition, quality and - above all - religion.Australian-Japanese food writer Emiko Davies takes a tasty journey into the spiritual significance of bread in Italy, her adopted home. In the west of Sicily, residents honour Saint Joseph by constructing intricate sculptural breads, adorning altars with baked symbols, and staging a ritualised feast attended by the entire community. On the coast of Puglia, locals queue to receive blessed loaves in celebration of Saint Anthony. Finally, with food historian Fabrizia Lanza, she reflects on the origins of religious superstitions surrounding bread, and what the nation's diverse culinary traditions tell us about faith in Italy today.Presenter: Emiko Davies Producer: Jude Shapiro Executive Producer: Jack Howson Production Coordinator: Ieva SabaliauskaiteA Peanut & Crumb production for BBC World Service
