The Guardian of Vocations
Sermon On The
Feast of St. Joseph 2013
St. Joseph is called true spouse of the Blessed Mother and foster father of the Son of God. Whatever their vocation in life may be, the reason many do not follow their calling is because they lack confidence. It is true that we should not trust in ourselves, however we must never forget that we can do all things in Him Who gives us strength. It is the combination of humility and magnanimity that makes a truly great man. God gives to each vocation what that person needs to accomplish his or her destiny, and we see this especially in the singular gifts given to St. Joseph.
The Queen of Angels loves him for all eternity in a way different than she loves the rest of mankind. She loves him as a wife. The marriage was true and real, although unconsummated and virginal, and without this marriage there would be no Incarnation.
We are in a war with the enemies of Christ who have seized control of the Church. Even the so-called traditionalists are self-righteous and lacking in charity. However, we are given a leader who has not abandoned us in these desperate times – the Holy Protector of the Church, St. Joseph.
