“There are many good reasons to honour Saint Joseph, and to learn from his life. He was a man of strong faith. He earned a living for his family — Jesus and Mary — with his own hard work… He guarded the purity of the Blessed Virgin, who was his Spouse.

“And he respected — he loved! — God’s freedom, when God made his choice: not only his choice of Our Lady the Virgin as his Mother, but also his choice of Saint Joseph as the Husband of Holy Mary.”

St Josemaria Escriva
The Forge, 552

Spending time in the Adoration Chapel can be overwhelming for those not comfortable in quiet spaces.

As we celebrate Saint Joseph, we challenge each of you to experience the blessings of Adoration by spending just 30 minutes in the Chapel. 

Remember that if you don’t know how to pray.. Put yourself in the presence of God, and as soon as you have said, “Lord, I don’t know how to pray” you have already started.
