Incredible sermon. One of the best I’ve ever heard. Absolutely beautiful and moving. I will continue in my devotion to St Joseph and look forward to reading about consecration to him, so I may do the same. God bless you, Fr.
The immense authority of St. Joseph is made clear by the comparison to other saints and prophets, that he holds a place only below that of the Holy Trinity and Our Blessed Mother, but above all else in heaven, on earth, and underneath the earth.
*THE BEST presentation on Saint Joseph I've heard or read in my fifty yrs. since Confirmation!* Fr. explains one mind-blowing truth after another about Joseph; again and again, my breath paused as I tried to take in his words-the >ineffable< reality of them. St. Maximilian Kolbe explained about Mary that we'd somehow have to enter >into the depth of the BL. Trinity Itself< in order to get just a hint of understanding of her Immaculate purity and of the love that the Holy Ghost-and, of course, Our Lord-shares with her, as spouse and mother, respectively.... And all the words of Sacred Scripture AND the saints combined canNOT but merely suggest the tiniest glimpse of trace of hint of the infinite reality that IS the eternal Logos Our Lord +His Incarnation... We could spend countless lifetimes trying to take in all of the preceding just said of Mary+Jesus. Full stop. Still, by God's loving grace we have the tiniest inkling of understanding of who Mary is >in God's eyes< AND Who is her Son. Now, here's where the mind-blowing stuff begins, just to recap some of the points in the video: BY GOD's Will, Saint Joseph was chosen to: ~take as wife,Mary-the Immaculate Conception and >mystical yet true< spouse of the HOLY SPIRIT; ~be THE protector on earth of the Immaculate One AND of GOD Incarnate Himself, Jesus; ~be the >head< of the Holy Family in every detail required: ie., Mary and Jesus would listen to AND obey Joseph, Mary and Jesus would be >taught BY Joseph< (all of the Law + Sacred Traditions of the Jewish people, and the earthly concerns of work and business); ~be the earthly >"father"< of Jesus: note, Sacred Scripture expressed by Mary's own words calls Joseph the "father" of Jesus-not "foster-father," which he technically is. So, GOD in His Scripture shows higher respect to Joseph than do many Catholics; ~be the one that would >BY his own authority (received from God, as is true for every natural father) BLESS his Son-Incarnate Word-and his wife-Immaculate Conception; ~...skipping thru time to Fatima... be the one who would-together with the Infant Child Jesus in his arms- BLESS All the people gathered at Fatima AND the world; literally, Joseph has authority over >all of creation.< And then, beyond all of that, as St. Teresa (others too) teaches, Joseph genuinely cares about our needs and interests, AND is willing and able to help. Dear Mary and Jesus, help guide us to honor+love Saint Joseph as you both did on earth-and continue in heaven; Dear Mary and Jesus, help guide us to listen to and obey Joseph as you both would want us to (as best as we can discern prayerfully); Dear Mary and Jesus, help guide us to draw others to heart's devotion to him as God wants.
Based on your words Father - it is St Joseph who will obtain for us the consecration of Russia, for true devotion to St Joseph begets devotion to Christ the King in the Eucharist and the Immaculate Heart of Mary (St Bosco's dream, a Pope consecrated to St Joseph) - Mary's request in 1929 proceeded from the Father and will be fulfilled by the Icon of the Father.
@@juice2307 Abductive reasoning would suggest the consecration was not done, and which of those possible consecrations claimed you have not specified. Our Lady's period of peace will be supernaturally obvious and will entail a general conversion of Russia in union with the Holy Father (hence consecration by the Pope) - when do you think the period of peace occurred? When did the abortions and divorce stop in Russia?
When Mary is requesting us to submit our lives to her through consecration it makes me question if it is really Mary at all. Why would Mary ask us to submit ourselves first to her and not Christ. Why 33 days? 33 is a masonic number. This is not Jesus's mother speaking but dark forces..I'm going over to the orthodox church because Mary no where was mentioned in prophesy to become queen of heaven. This is all wrong teaching.
There is absolutely NO difference between submitting to Mary and submitting to Christ Himself. Mary is not a rival or an enemy of Jesus. She loves Him as her Son and Lord and she wants Him to be glorified. She doesn't keep anything or anyone TO HERSELF, but offers them up to God. Remember that Jesus Himself SUBMITTED to the authority of Mary while on earth: "Then He went down with them and was OBEDIENT to them (Mary and Joseph)" (Luke 2:51). Even when He became an adult, He still subjected Himself to Mary by doing what she asked Him to do (see John 2:1 - 12). Would you say that Jesus was REFUSING to subject Himself TO GOD by subjecting Himself to Mary ? Of course not. Mary and God are on the same side ! They are not opposing each other or antagonizing each other. Besides, when Jesus subjected Himself to Mary, did she keep Him ALL TO HERSELF ? No. She offered Him up to die on the cross as a sacrifice TO GOD. Likewise, anyone of us who subjects ourselves to her would be offered up to God by her because she KNOWS that nothing absolutely belongs to her but that EVERYTHING and EVERYONE belongs to God.
God bless you, Father!! What a gift you have given us in this precious, deep, inspired and prayed-over homily! Thank you!
Amen! With Peter to Jesus through Mary & Joseph!
What a beautiful sermon🙏🌹🌟Thank You🙏🌹🌟💖
Fast on Wednesdays and ask St. Jospeh to intercede for you to protect your family and lead them to Heaven.
Incredible sermon. One of the best I’ve ever heard. Absolutely beautiful and moving. I will continue in my devotion to St Joseph and look forward to reading about consecration to him, so I may do the same. God bless you, Fr.
Absolutely beautiful thank you!
This has rekindled my devotion to my beloved, patron saint, Joseph, the true spouse of Mary!
Amen!
PRAY FOR ALL MEN IN OUR SOCIETY TO BE AS GOOD A MAN AS ST JOSEPH. God Bless :)
Beautiful ! Thank you, Father !🙏

Protodulia!

The consecration has already been done.

St. Joseph, pray for us!
@@juice2307 The consecration was done 25.03.1983, iron curtain failed in 1989.
