A detail from Joseph with the Child and the Flowering Rod, by Alonso Miguel de Tovar (1678–1752).
​"Your father and I have been looking for you…And He went with them and was obedient to them.” (Luke 2: 48, 51) In these lines we find some of the most powerful testimony of the importance of St. Joseph’s role in the Gospel as the Guardian of the Word Made Flesh. 
 
While this great feast of St. Joseph is always an important day in the life of the Church, it takes on even more significance in this year as Pope Francis has designated this liturgical year the Year of St. Joseph[1], recognizing the 150th year since Pope Pius IX declared him the Patron of the Universal Church. ​

Keys for a Spiritually Mature Lent

Picture"Christ in the Wilderness" by Russian artist Ivan Kramskoi.
​Venerable Fulton Sheen once wrote, “If you want people to stay as they are, tell them what they want to hear. If you want to improve them, tell them what they should know.” 
 
You should know that Lent always comes to us as a moment of grace. But do we live it as such? Mature Christian men and women should not be satisfied with living Lent the same way they did as children, giving up sweets, not watching TV, or praying a little more each day. These were good penances when, like I said, we were children, but we are no longer children now. We must be coherent in our search for maturity. If we want to be treated and respected as mature adults in all aspects of our lives, then we must also approach our spiritual lives maturely. ​
