Saturday of the Fifth Week of Lent
Solemnity of St. Joseph, husband of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Reading and Reflection
The angel told Joseph not to be afraid to take Mary into his home.
I am always impressed by our parishioners who have opened their homes to
others in need. We have families who have adopted their
grandchildren. Others have adopted children from overseas.
Some families open their doors to foster children. A
couple regularly has adults who are in need of health care stay at their
homes. It takes faith to open your hearts to others in need
and make room for them in your home, whether your "home" is your house
or your heart. Let us pray that we will be like St. Joseph
and be willing to open our "homes" to those who will make Christ visible
to us.
Today let us pray for St. James Parish and the
Pastoral Staff.
