Saint Joseph's special gift for

us from his fatherly heart! When Pope Francis wrote to us about Saint Joseph last December, he summoned us to reflect on the one man in histo-ry to whom God the Fa-ther would entrust his own Son as boy and man.

This weekend, as the universal church invokes the memory of St. Joseph as model and inter-cessor for all who labor, I once again invite all of us to rediscover St. Joseph as a man with "a father's heart." This is how Pope Francis de-scribed how Saint Joseph cared for Jesus in the many years - most of his life! - that he lived at home in Nazareth. He wrote: "St. Joseph re-minds us that those who appear hidden or in the shadows can play an incomparable role in the history of salvation. A word of recognition and of gratitude is due to them all." As Mary's hus-band and guardian of the son of God, St. Joseph turned "his human vocation to domestic love into a superhuman oblation of himself, his heart and all his abilities, a love placed at the service of the Messiah who was growing to maturity in his home." "In every situation, Joseph declared his own 'fiat,' like those of Mary at the Annunciation and Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. ...All this makes it clear that St. Joseph was called by God to serve the person and mission of Jesus directly through the exercise of his fatherhood and that, in this way, he cooperated in the fullness of time in the great mystery of salvation and is truly a minister of salvation." "In our own day, when employment has once more become a burning social issue, and unemployment at times reach-es record levels even in nations that for decades have enjoyed a certain degree of prosperity, there is a renewed need to appreciate the im-portance of dignified work, of which St. Joseph is an exemplary patron." A lot is being written today about the power of St. Joseph to help us on earth not only by his

example of quiet, unconditional service to God's will but also by his closeness to Jesus. Pope Francis declared a special gift that is available to all the faithful through St. Joseph: the gift of a plenary indulgence. This is a way the Church in her wisdom and compassion extends to people of faith a share in the mercy of Jesus who not only forgives sins through the sacraments but frees us also from the burden of guilt or "temporary punishment" that comes along with our sin. The Apostolic Penitentiary, a Vatican tribunal that deals with matters of conscience, issued a decree Dec. 8 stating that plenary indulgences will be granted to Catholics not only through prayer and penance, but also through acts of jus-tice, charity and piety dedicated to the foster fa-ther of Jesus. Among the conditions for receiv-ing an indulgence are a spirit detached from sin, receiving sacramental confession as soon as pos-sible, receiving Communion as soon as possible and praying for the Holy Father's intentions. The decree also highlighted several ways to ob-tain the indulgence throughout the year, includ-ing to those who "meditate on the prayer of the 'Our Father' for at least 30 minutes or take part in a spiritual retreat of at least one day that in-cludes a meditation on St. Joseph." “Those who, following the example of St. Jo-seph, will perform a corporal or spiritual work of mercy, will also be able to obtain the gift of the plenary indulgence.” Indulgences will also be granted to families and engaged couples who recite the rosary together and thus imitate the "same climate of communion, love and prayer lived in the Holy Family. "Other acts of devotion include entrusting one's daily activities and prayers for dignified employment to St. Joseph, reciting the litany or any "legitimately approved" prayer to St. Joseph. During this time of pandemic, the Apostolic Penitentiary also decreed that special indulgenc-es will be granted to the elderly, the sick and all those who "for legitimate reasons are prevented from leaving their home" by "reciting an act of piety in honor of St. Joseph and committed to fulfilling the conditions as soon as possible." God bless! Fr. John

de servicio silencioso e incondicional a la voluntad de Dios, sino también con su cercanía a Jesús. El Papa Francisco declaró un regalo especial que está disponible para todos los fieles a través de San Jo-sé: el regalo de una indulgencia plenaria. Esta es una forma en que la Iglesia, en su sabiduría y com-pasión, extiende a las personas de fe una partici-pación en la misericordia de Jesús, que no solo perdona los pecados a través de los sacramentos, sino que también nos libera de la carga de la culpa o del "castigo temporal" que acompaña a nuestro pecado. La Penitenciaría Apostólica, un tribunal del Vati-cano que se ocupa de asuntos de conciencia, emitió un decreto el 8 de diciembre que establece que las indulgencias plenarias se otorgarán a los católicos no solo a través de la oración y la penitencia, sino también a través de actos de justicia, caridad y pie-dad dedicados a la crianza del padre adoptivo de Jesús. Entre las condiciones para recibir una in-dulgencia se encuentran un espíritu desprendido del pecado, recibir la confesión sacramental lo an-tes posible, recibir la Comunión lo antes posible y orar por las intenciones del Santo Padre. El decre-to también destacó varias formas de obtener la in-dulgencia durante todo el año, incluso para aquellos que "meditan en la oración del 'Padre Nuestro' durante al menos 30 minutos o partici-pan en un retiro espiritual de al menos un día que incluye una meditación. sobre San José ". “Quienes, siguiendo el ejemplo de San José, realiz-arán una obra de misericordia corporal o espiritu-al, también podrán obtener el don de la indulgen-cia plenaria”. También se otorgarán indulgencias a las familias y los novios que recen juntos el rosario y así imiten el "mismo clima de comunión, amor y oración vivido en la Sagrada Familia". Otros actos de devoción incluyen encomendar las actividades diarias y las oraciones por un empleo digno a San José, recitando la letanía o cualquier oración "legítimamente aprobada" a San José. Durante este tiempo de pandemia, la Penitenciaría Apostólica también decretó que se otorgarán in-dulgencias especiales a los ancianos, los enfermos y todos aquellos que "por motivos legítimos no puedan salir de su hogar" por "recitar un acto de piedad en honor a San Joseph y se comprometió a cumplir las condiciones lo antes posible ".

¡Dios los bendiga! Padre John

¡El Regalo Especial de

San José para Nosotros de Su Corazón

Paternal! Cuando el Papa Francisco nos escribió sobre San José en diciembre pasado, nos

convocó a reflexionar sobre el único hombre en la historia a quien Dios Padre confiaría a su propio Hijo como niño y hombre. Este fin de semana, mientras la Iglesia universal invoca la memoria de San José como modelo e intercesor para todos los que laboran, una vez más los invito a todos a re-descubrir a San José como un hombre con "corazón de padre". Así es como el Papa Francisco describió cómo San José se preocupó por Jesús durante muchos años, ¡la mayor parte de su vida! - que vivía en su casa en Nazaret. Escribió: "San Jo-sé nos recuerda que los que aparecen ocultos o en las sombras pueden desempeñar un papel incom-parable en la historia de la salvación. A todos les debo una palabra de reconocimiento y gratitud". Como esposo de María y guardián del hijo de Dios, San José convirtió "su vocación humana al amor doméstico en una oblación sobrehumana de sí mis-mo, de su corazón y de todas sus capacidades, un amor puesto al servicio del Mesías que estaba creciendo hasta la madurez ". en su casa." "En cada situación, José declaró su propio 'fiat', como los de María en la Anunciación y de Jesús en el Huerto de Getsemaní ... Todo esto deja en claro que San José fue llamado por Dios para servir a la persona y a la misión de Jesús directamente a través del ejercicio de su paternidad y que, de esta manera, colaboró en la plenitud de los tiempos en el gran misterio de la salvación y es verdaderamen-te un ministro de salvación ". "En nuestros días, cuando el empleo se ha convertido una vez más en un problema social candente y el desempleo alcan-za en ocasiones niveles récord incluso en países que durante décadas han disfrutado de un cierto grado de prosperidad, existe una necesidad reno-vada de apreciar la importancia del trabajo digno , de la que San José es un patrón ejemplar ". Hoy se escribe mucho sobre el poder de San José para ayudarnos en la tierra, no solo con su ejemplo

Presente especial de São José

para nós de sua coração paterno!

Quando o Papa Francisco nos escreveu sobre São José em dezembro passado, ele nos convocou para refletir sobre o único homem na história a quem Deus, o Pai, confiaria seu próprio Filho

como menino e homem. Neste fim de semana, en-quanto a igreja universal invoca a memória de São José como modelo e intercessor para todos os que trabalham, convido mais uma vez a todos nós a rede-scobrir São José como um homem com "o coração de um pai". Foi assim que o Papa Francisco de-screveu como São José cuidou de Jesus nos muitos anos - a maior parte de sua vida! - que ele morava em casa, em Nazaré. Ele escreveu: "São José nos lembra que aqueles que aparecem escondidos ou nas sombras podem desempenhar um papel incompa-rável na história da salvação. Uma palavra de reconhecimento e de gratidão é devido a todos eles. Como marido de Maria e guardião do filho de Deus, São José transformou "sua vocação humana para o amor doméstico em uma oblação sobre-humana de si mesmo, seu coração e todas as suas habilidades, um amor colocado a serviço do Messias que estava cre-scendo à maturidade em sua casa". "Em cada situação, José declarou seu próprio 'fiat', como os de Maria na Anunciação e Jesus no Jardim de Gethsemane. ... Tudo isso deixa claro que São José foi chamado por Deus para servir a pessoa e a missão de Jesus diretamente através do exercício de sua paternidade e que, desta forma, ele cooperou na plenitude do tempo no grande mistério da salvação e é verdadeiramente um ministro da salvação." "Em nosso próprio dia, quando o emprego se tornou mais uma vez uma questão social ardente, e o desemprego às vezes atinge níveis recordes mesmo em nações que há décadas gozam de um certo grau de prosper-idade, há uma necessidade renovada de apreciar a importância do trabalho digno, do qual São José é um patrono exemplar." Muito está sendo escrito hoje sobre o poder de São José para nos ajudar na terra não só por seu

exemplo de serviço silencioso e incondicional à von-tade de Deus, mas também por sua proximidade com Jesus. O Papa Francisco declarou um presente espe-cial que está disponível para todos os fiéis através de São José: o dom de uma indulgência plenária. Esta é uma maneira que a Igreja em sua sabedoria e com-paixão estende às pessoas de fé uma parte da miser-icórdia de Jesus que não só perdoa os pecados atra-vés dos sacramentos, mas nos liberta também do far-do da culpa ou da "punição temporária" que vem jun-to com o nosso pecado. A Penitenciária Apostólica, um tribunal do Vaticano que trata de questões de consciência, emitiu um de-creto de 8 de dezembro afirmando que indulgências plenárias serão concedidas aos católicos não apenas através de oração e penitência, mas também através de atos de justiça, caridade e piedade dedicados ao pai adotivo de Jesus. Entre as condições para receber uma indulgência estão um espírito desvinculado do pecado, recebendo confissão sacramental o mais rápido possível, recebendo comunhão o mais rápido possível e orando pelas intenções do Santo Padre. O decreto também destacou várias formas de obter a indulgência ao longo do ano, incluindo para aqueles que "meditam sobre a oração do 'Pai Nosso' por pelo menos 30 minutos ou participam de um retiro espir-itual de pelo menos um dia que inclui uma meditação sobre São José". "Aqueles que, seguindo o exemplo de São José, re-alizarão um trabalho corporal ou espiritual de miser-icórdia, também poderão obter o dom da indulgência plenária." Indulgências também serão concedidas às famílias e casais noivos que recitam o rosário juntos e, assim, imitam o "mesmo clima de comunhão, amor e oração vivido na Sagrada Família. "Outros atos de devoção incluem confiar as atividades diárias e orações por um emprego digno a São José, recitan-do a ladainha ou qualquer oração "legitimamente aprovada" a São José. Durante esse período de pandemia, a Penitenciária Apostólica também decretou que serão concedidas indulgências especiais aos idosos, doentes e a todos aqueles que "por razões legítimas forem impedidos de sair de casa" por "recitar um ato de piedade em homenagem a São José e comprometidos em cumprir as condições o mais rápido possível". Deus abençoe! Padre John

Reading I Acts 9:26-31 When Saul arrived in Jerusalem he tried to join the disci-ples, but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple. Then Barnabas took charge of him and brought him to the apostles, and he reported to them how he had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken to him, and how in Damascus he had spoken out boldly in the name of Jesus. He moved about freely with them in Jeru-salem, and spoke out boldly in the name of the Lord. He also spoke and debated with the Hellenists, but they tried to kill him. And when the brothers learned of this, they took him down to Caesarea and sent him on his way to Tarsus. The church throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria was at peace. It was being built up and walked in the fear of the Lord, and with the consolation of the Holy Spirit it grew in numbers. Responsorial Psalm 22:26-27, 28, 30, 31-32 I will praise you, Lord, in the assembly of your people. I will fulfill my vows before those who fear the LORD. The lowly shall eat their fill; they who seek the LORD shall praise him: “May your hearts live forever!” All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the LORD; all the families of the nations shall bow down be-fore him. To him alone shall bow down all who sleep in the earth; before him shall bend all who go down into the dust. And to him my soul shall live; my descendants shall serve him. Let the coming generation be told of the LORD that they may proclaim to a people yet to be born the justice he has shown. Reading II 1 Jn 3:18-24 Children, let us love not in word or speech but in deed and truth. Now this is how we shall know that we belong to the truth and reassure our hearts before him in whatever our hearts condemn, for God is greater than our hearts and knows everything. Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence in God and receive from him whatev-er we ask, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him. And his commandment is this: we should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another just as he commanded us. Those who keep his commandments remain in him, and he in them, and the way we know that he remains in us is from the Spirit he gave us.

Alleluia Jn 15:4a, 5b R. Alleluia, alleluia. Remain in me as I remain in you, says the Lord. Whoever remains in me will bear much fruit. R. Alleluia, alleluia. Gospel Jn 15:1-8 Jesus said to his disciples: “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine grower. He takes away every branch in me that does not bear fruit, and every one that does he prunes so that it bears more fruit. You are already pruned because of the word that I spoke to you. Remain in me, as I remain in you.Just as a branch cannot bear fruit on its own unless it remains on the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in me. I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit, because without me you can do nothing. Anyone who does not remain in me will be thrown out like a branch and wither; people will gather them and throw them into a fire and they will be burned. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask for whatever you want and it will be done for you. By this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit and become my disciples.”

By Dr. Scott Hahn On the Vine 5th Sunday of Easter (Cycle B) Acts 9:26-31 Psalm 22:26-28, 30-32 1 John 3:18-24 John 15:1-8 In today's Gospel, Jesus tells us that He is the true vine that God intended Israel to be - the source of divine life and wisdom for the nations (see Sirach 24:17-24). In baptism, each of us was joined to Him by the Holy Spirit. As a branch grows from a tree, our souls are to draw life from Him, nourished by His word and the Eucharist. Paul, in today's First Reading, seeks to be grafted onto the visible expression of Christ the true vine - His Church. Once the chief persecutor of the Church, he encounters initial resistance and suspicion. But he is known by his fruits, by his powerful witness to the Lord working in his life (see Matthew 7:16-20). We too are commanded today to bear good fruits as His disciples, so that our lives give glory to God. Like Paul's life, our lives must bear witness to His goodness and mercy. Jesus cautions us, however, that if we're bearing fruit, we can expect that God will "prune" us - as a gardener trims and cuts back a plant so that it will grow stronger and bear even more fruit. He is teaching us today how to look at our sufferings and trials with the eyes of faith. We need to see our struggles as prunings, by which we are being disciplined and trained so that we can grow in holiness and bear fruits of righteousness (see Hebrews 12:4-11). We need to always remain rooted in Him, as today's Epistle tells us. We remain in Him by keeping His commandment of love, by pondering His words, letting them dwell richly in us (see Colossians 3:16), and by al-ways seeking to do what pleases Him. In everything we must be guided by humility, remembering that apart from Him we can do nothing. As we sing in today's Psalm, we must fulfill our vows, turning to the Lord in worship, proclaiming his praises, until all families come to know His justice in their lives.
