St. Joseph, pray for us!Today we celebrate the Solemnity of St. Joseph, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

“St Joseph persevered in this mission with fidelity and love. The Church, therefore, offers him to us as an exceptional model of service to Christ and to his mysterious plan of salvation. And she calls upon him as the special patron and protector of the whole family of believers. In a special way, Joseph is presented to us on his feast day as the saint under whose powerful protection divine Providence has wished to place the persons and ministry of all who are called to be “fathers” and “guardians” among the Christian people.” (St. John Paul II, Homily, March 19, 2001) ...

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!Happy St. Paddy’s Day, ya hooligans. ☘️🇮🇪🍻😇💚

St. Patrick was born into a Catholic family in Roman Britain in the fifth century, and is known as the Apostle to Ireland. The historical details we know of his life come from two documents, written in Latin by St. Patrick himself.

At the age of sixteen, he was minding his own business when he was kidnapped by a group of pagan Irish pirates. After six years enslaved as a shepherd, God spoke to Patrick in a dream and told him that a ship awaited him. He fled from his master, traveled to a port two hundred miles away, and jumped aboard the ship that was indeed waiting for him.

Back home with his family, he had a dream in which the people of Ireland called him to come back to them and teach them about Christ: “and thus did they cry out as with one mouth: 'We ask you, boy, come and walk among us once more.'” Convinced, Patrick was ordained a priest, then confirmed a bishop, before receiving permission to return to the land of his captivity.

He loved the people of Ireland and had extraordinary success in evangelizing them. In his lifetime he baptized thousands of people, ordained priests, and established religious communities. He converted men and women, rich and poor, slaves and the sons of kings. He is composed this prayer known as St. Patrick's Breastplate. It makes an excellent start to the day.

He is said to have taught the pagan Irish, who would have been coming from a nature-centric druid religious tradition, about the concept of the Holy Trinity, using the three leaf clover, or shamrock, as a symbol of the three persons in one God.

In the United States it’s just an optional memorial, and gets officially bumped on a Sunday, but if you were raised Irish on the Southside of Chicago, as was my husband, there is NO not celebrating St. Patrick’s Day. St. Patrick’s Day is actually our BIGGEST liturgical celebration of the year, though of course not the most important. This year we are expecting 325+ at our backyard Hooley!
