St. Joseph the Worker CATHOLIC FIRE - May 1, 2013 Today, May 1st, is the feast day of St. Joseph the Worker . Joseph, the foster father of Jesus, is the patron saint of workers.

So many miracles were recorded—including healings—that Rome dispatched a registrar to record them. Nearly 175 miracles were recorded in the first 5 months.

Does the goal of justice include a healthy regard for the teachings of the church in regard to the soul's salvation? 3. Is the one who speaks willing to die, as a Christian, for his/her message? Stanislaus, by one account, was beloved but alone in his criticism of the king. As the readings this week from Acts tell, sometimes you just can't keep your mouth shut when it comes from the Gospel. And if your speaking up has little to do with the Gospel? ...http://www.southernfriedcatholicism.com/2013/04/stanislaus-and-social-justice.html
Accept God's Ocean of Love and MERCY! BEYOND PEARLS - March 29, 2013 ... heard God say to her: This is the sin that is never forgiven, now or ever: the refusal, the scorning of my mercy. For this offends me more than all the other sins they have committed. So the despair of Judas displeased me more and was a greater insult to my Son than his betrayal had been. Therefore, such as these are reproved for this false judgment of considering their sin to be greater than my mercy... They are reproved also for their injustice in grieving more for their own plight than for ...http://darby-beyondpearls.blogspot.com/2013/03/accept-gods-ocean-of-love-and-mercy.html

St. Joseph CATHOLIC FIRE - March 19, 2013 Today is the solemnity of St. Joseph, husband of the Virgin Mary, foster father of Jesus, and patron of the universal Church. On May 31, we honor St. Joseph as the patron of workers. Most of the reliable information on St. Joseph is contained in the first two chapters of the Gospels of Matthew and Luke.

Prayers to St. Joseph TRUTH IN LOVE - March 19, 2013 ... just man who loved and cared for Mary and the child Jesus she carried. He was a man of faith and courage. When he was told to take Mary as his wife, he obeyed. I can imagine the pain and frustration he must have felt when he was knocking on doors, asking for shelter in Bethlehem, only to be told time and again there was no room for them. But he persevered with his task of caring for Mary and the infant Jesus she would shortly deliver. When he was told to flee for Egypt, he packed up his family ...http://supporttarasvocation.wordpress.com/2013/03/19/prayers-to-st-joseph/

Two Saints FROM THE PASTOR'S DESK - March 17, 2013 Saint Patrick T oday, although the Fifth Sunday of Lent , is traditionally the day on which we commemorate St. Patrick. As a youth, in spite of his Catholic parents, he was not religious and did not know God. He found God later as a young man after being taken as a slave to Ireland. He eventually escaped and made it home, probably Scotland. God called him to the priesthood, and after some years was ordained a bishop. The pope at that time, under advisement sent him to ...http://stmichaelpastorsdesk.blogspot.com/2013/03/two-saints.html

With those same words in mind, The Cardinal Newman Society asked this question two years ago: Will the American Jesuits… can they… reject the temptation of worldly prestige and restore the faithful, rigorous Catholic education that once made their colleges and universities among the best in the world? Pope Benedict said that Catholic education must lead young people to Christ.

Slowly, like a simmering chili, Nicodemus warms up to the Christian Ideal espoused by the Nazorean. At first, he slips away under cover of darkness to learn from Jesus in the middle of the night. While most anyone who watches a football game can tell you that the most famous -- or at least publicized passage in the Good News is John 3:16, do you recall that those words were spoken to Nicodemus ...http://yourdailytripod.blogspot.com/2013/03/hear-him.html
SNAP Seeks Meeting With New Pope VOICE FROM THE DESERT - March 16, 2013 ... hundreds if not, thousands of years! Yes, I am glad that he has chosen "Francis" for his new name, and I do hope that he chose it because he wants to be similar to St. Francis of Assisi. However, we do not know, yet. (As has been mentioned, he may have chosen St. Francis' name, simply to pay homage and show respect to the Catholics of Italy, whose Patron Saint, I have now learned, is St. Francis of Assisi.) So, it is difficult for me, to yet ascribe as much ...http://reform-network.net/?p=20527
