Dear Brothers and Sisters,
JESUS IS RISEN, ALLELUIA.
The disciples saw the risen Jesus, they were still plagued by doubts and therefore, fright-
ened. They were ignorant of the power of God in the risen Jesus. Jesus repeatedly ap-
pealed to them to have faith. There is no condemnation or anger in His approach. To dis-
pel their disbelief, Jesus showed them His hands and feet, invited them to touch and see
Him. He even went to the extent of asking them to give Him something to eat so that they
completely dump their doubts and fears. In this scene, one cannot but be struck by the
boundless patience of Jesus. The purpose behind Jesus doing all these is however, not for
the sake of the disciples alone, but Jesus wanted them to be witnesses of these things.
Thus, an experience of the risen Lord is not just for personal joy and fulfillment. It is for
the mission.
How do we bear witness to Jesus? Bearing witness depends on our knowledge and our
personal experience of the risen Lord. Have we experienced Him? Or are we slow to be-
lieve like the disciples? Now, if we have extraordinary expectations of experiencing the
risen Lord, we would be disappointed. The risen Lord appears in simple ways. Though He
was transformed, He also continues to be the same, the way He was before His death,
with flesh and bones. There was no heavenly glory or dazzling light accompanying the
risen Lord. Thus, the risen Lord appears to us in a downtoearth manner, just as Yahweh
revealed Himself to Elijah, not in the strong wind, or earthquake, or fire, but in the sound
of sheer silence (1 Kgs 19:9). We only need to be open to Him like Elijah. Secondly, we
cannot keep to ourselves this experience of the risen Lord. Like the disciples, we need to

Feast of St. Joseph the Worker
(May 1, 2021)

If you miss a day, bring that missed day's reflection and prayer
into the current day's prayer and continue forward. For those on
Social Media, join on FB through our St. Anthony Facebook
Page!

Day 21 Monday, April 19:Hope of the SickSt. Joseph, Benevolent
Joseph, the Son of God placed his life in your hands. With the Virgin Mary,
our Blessed Mother, you cared for the Child Jesus, who is the force of life
in our world. May your compassion embrace our fragility and bring us the
comfort of the divine presence. Loving Saint Joseph, we join you in prayer
by crying out: Lord Jesus, Son of the Living God, say a word for our healing! Make us sensitive to the ill-
nesses of those closest to us. Support us in our efforts to care for our sick brothers and sisters. Give us
courage in the fight against all evil. Help us to find meaning in God’s great project for humanity beyond
the sickness and suffering that blind us. May the Love of God be with us, because our only hope is with
Him. We make this prayer through the intercession of Saint Joseph to Christ Jesus, Our Lord and Savior.

Daily Challenge: Pray a rosary with your family or throughout the day offering each decade for the healing
of those you know who are sick in body, mind or spirit. Invite St. Joseph to pray with you. Perhaps make a

Day 22 Tuesday, April 20:Patron of the DyingO Glorious St. Joseph, behold I choose thee today for
my special patron in life and at the hour of my death. Preserve and increase in me the spirit of prayer and
fervor in the service of God. Remove far from me every kind of sin; obtain for me that my death may not
come upon me unawares, but that I may have time to confess my sins sacramentally and to bewail them
with a most perfect understanding and a most sincere and perfect contrition, in order that I may breathe

Daily Challenge: Life is busy, and we do not often stop to contemplate the final things such as death. Set
aside some quiet time today to contemplate your own mortality and death. Invite Joseph, Mary and the Holy

Day 23 Wednesday, April 21:Terror of Demons St. Joseph, Terror of Demons, protect us.Pray the
Litany of St. Joseph.

Daily Challenge: Write out the verse from Isaiah 41:10 and place it in a spot that will be a daily reminder
for you to invite St. Joseph to pray for you in times of deep fear, that you might not despair, but in great
confidence place yourself in God’s hands.

“Do not fear: I am with you; do not be anxious: I am your God. I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will
uphold you with my victorious right hand” ~ Isaiah 41:10



Day 24 Thursday, April 22:Protector of the Holy ChurchSt. Joseph,
Protector of the Holy Church, pray for the Holy Father, all bishops,
priests, and deacons, that they be renewed in their vocation and humbly
and faithfully carry out their mission. Pray for all leaders, that they may
have a servant’s heart and rely on the wisdom of God in their decision
making. Pray for all lay members of the Church to fulfill their baptismal
call to bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ into every corner of the word.
Pray the Litany of St. Joseph.

Daily Challenge: Pray for a priest that has been an important part of your
(and your family’s) faith journey. Pray for him by name, to thank God for
his vocation and role in your faith life. Ask St. Joseph and Mary to inter-
cede for all priests for their perseverance and fidelity and the Holy Trinity
to confirm them in holiness with all the gifts of the Holy Spirit to sustain
them in their call.

Day 25 Friday, April 23:Guardian of the Mystery of GodSt. Joseph, Guardian of the Mystery of God,
pray for me that I may do my part to guard and defend the mystery of the Redemption and proclaim it to

Daily Challenge: Can you identify the false teachings of the secularized world today that are leading us
away from the truths of God? Identify one of these that perhaps has crept into your thinking or that of a
family member. Ask for the wisdom to see anew through the eyes of faith, seek the resources from a solid

Day 26 Saturday, April 24:Patron of CarpentersJoseph, by the work of your hands and the sweat of
your brow, you supported Jesus and Mary, and had the Son of God as you fellow worker. Teach me to work
as you did, with patience and perseverance, for God and for those whom God has given me to support.
Teach me to see in my fellow workers the Christ who desires to be in them, that I may always be charitable
and forbearing towards all. Grand me to look upon work with the eyes of faith, so that I shall recognize in it
my share in God’s own creative activity and in Christ’s work of our redemption, and so take pride in it.
When it is pleasant and productive, remind me to give thanks to God for it. And when it is burdensome,
teach me to offer it to God, in reparation for my sins and the sins of the world.*Pray the Litany of St. Jo-
seph.

Daily Challenge: Identify an area of your life where you resist obedience to God's will. Pray to St. Joseph
for an increase of trust so you may experience the true freedom that comes through obedience to God.
*(Note: This prayer was adapted from the booklet “Devotions to Saint Joseph” by Brian Moore, S.J., print-
ed and published by the Society of St. Paul.)

Day 27 Sunday, April 25:Patron of Social JusticeSt. Joseph, Patron of Social Justice, pray that we
may have a vision of the world as God would have it: a world where the weak are protected, and none go
hungry or poor, a world where peace is built with justice, and justice is guided by love. Give the inspiration

Daily Challenge: Who do I see as the poor and vulnerable in my life? How do I talk about them and re-
spond to their needs? Examine whether you are living your life conveying a consistent life ethic that aligns
with God’s plan of justice, with a willingness to make amends.

March Report from your Finance Council…
The Ordinary Giving yeartodate through February 2021 was 6% below prior year, but in
line with the current budget. However, the current budget has been significantly reduced to
absorb the impact of Covid.
At the February and March meetings, the Finance Council heard from staff program leaders
on updates from their areas as they continue to be impacted by Covid. Leaders are working
through distanced or reduced programs, with a focus on keeping costs low.
The next Finance Council meeting is April 21, 2021.
