  1. St. Joseph Novena 2025, Day 5: He knows

    SCRIPTURE READING
    Psalm 37:18–19

    The Lord knows the days of the blameless,
        and their heritage will abide forever;
    they are not put to shame in evil times,
        in the days of famine they have abundance.

    READING
    RP 6 2r

    Mary, wake up, for the life of Jesus is in danger.

    Yes, in his sweet sleep, the King of Heaven seems to ignore the message of one of his angels… However, He knows everything… O Mary! why doesn’t Jesus speak to you Himself? Why am I in charge of transmitting the orders of Heaven to the Mother of my God?… 

    Herod is determined to put the Child to death. We must leave within the hour; tomorrow may be too late…

    NOVENA PRAYER

    Remember, O most pure spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
    my great protector, Saint Joseph,
    that no one ever had recourse to your protection,
    or implored your aid without obtaining relief.
    Confiding therefore in your goodness, I come before you.
    Do not turn down my petitions, foster father of the Redeemer,
    but graciously receive them.

    (Mention your prayer requests)

    Our Father… Hail Mary… Glory Be…

    V./ Pray for us, holy Father St. Joseph
    R./ That we may become worthy of the promises of Christ.

    Father,
    you entrusted our Savior and his holy Mother
    to the care of St. Joseph.
    By the help of his prayers
    may your Church continue to serve its Lord, Jesus Christ,
    who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
    God for ever and ever.
    Amen.

    Yes, and no. My point is that #Palestine has been a giant waystation for hundreds of peoples, even in prehistoric times it seems.
    Other than that, I do have my personal issues with anyone claiming to be superior because (s)he has been selected by (the) God(s). This is the way to intolerance, strife, oppression, and war.

  22. The Lost Years of #Jesus
    youtube.com/watch?v=XLybEyhp3R

    There are all sorts of legends about Jesus between the years of 12 and 30 traveling to Egypt, India, and even the British Isles. However, a knowledge of the history and the geography of his hometown of Nazareth, and recent #archaeological excavations at #Sepphoris, just 4 miles to the north, which was the urban capital of #Herod Antipas, which was being rebuilt as Jesus was growing up, has opened a new possibility.
