THE FEAST OF ST JOSEPH THE WORKER.
FEAST OF ST JOSEPH THE WORKER.
THE GOOD NEWS:
"The one who comes from above is above all. The one who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of earthly things. But the one who comes from heaven is above all.
He testifies to what he has seen and heard, but no one accepts his testimony. Whoever does accept his testimony certifies that God is trustworthy.
For the one whom God sent speaks the words of God.
He does not ration his gift of the Spirit.
The Father loves the Son and has given everything over to him. Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever disobeys the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains upon him." (John 3: 31 - 36).
May 1st 2025, Feast of St Joseph the Worker.
Jesus teaches in the Gospel of today:
"Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever disobeys the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains upon him."
St Joseph, the foster father of Jesus Christ believed in Jesus. He heard the message of the angel and accepted the message. Then he believed in the integrity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Today is the feast of St Joseph the Worker.
Who is St Joseph?
St Joseph is a humble and upright man chosen and qualified by God from eternity to be the husband of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
He was a carpenter by trade and from the account of mystics, not a very successful one. People took advantage of the goodness of his heart.
God chose Joseph before the world began to be the foster father of the Lord Jesus Christ. In this role, Jesus became an apprentice carpenter under Joseph.
Joseph talked little but dreamed much. God used dream to communicate with Joseph. The angel informed Joseph in a dream to accept Mary because her pregnancy is from God.
As patron saint of workers, Joseph teaches us to take work very seriously. God ordained work for every man and woman. Children are not exempt from work. Their schooling is their work.
Let us honor St Joseph and ask for his intercession for our work. Joseph is also the patron saint of a Happy Death and purity.
St Joseph pray for us.
