why saint joseph?

In the of Luke, we encounter the person of Zacchaeus, a chief tax collector and a wealthy man (19:1-10). As Jesus passes through Jericho, Zacchaeus tries to catch sight of him. The only problem is that there’s a large crowd sur- rounding Christ and Zacchaeus is short in stature. His diminutive size doesn’t stop him, though. He runs ahead of the crowd and climbs a sycamore tree. Now he can see Jesus, and Jesus can see him. Zacchaeus needed a leg up, and he found it in the sycamore.

As Christians, we find a “leg up” in lots of different places. Our ultimate help is God, but he provides lots of other helps, too: the help of the Word, the help of the sacraments, the help of our fellow disciples, and, one that we sometimes overlook, the help of the saints.

WHY THE SAINTS? On the feast days of saints, the Church reminds us: “By their way of life, Father, you offer us an example, by communion with them you give us com- panionship, by their intercession, sure support” (Roman Missal). The saints give us a leg up by being our models, helpers, and friends.

MODELS: by the example of their holiness, the saints remind us that sanctity is pos- sible for everyone. Holiness is not reserved to a select few but is the task of every Christian.

HELPERS: These holy friends are frequently invoked for assistance. The Church declares that we rely on the saints’ constant intercession in God’s presence for unfailing help. St. Therese proclaims, “I will spend my heav- en doing good on earth.”

FRIENDS: The saints are companions. Alive in Christ, this great cloud of witnesses stands ready to get to know us, to be in conversation with us, to challenge, support, and console us.

ST. JOSEPH OCCUPIES A SPECIAL PLACE AMONG THE SAINTS: In the (Opening Prayer) for the Feast of St. Joseph, the Church recalls how St. Joseph watched over the beginnings of the mysteries of human salva- tion in the life of Christ. Christ wills to repeat those very same mysteries in our lives. In us, Christ wills to be born, to die, to rise, and to ascend to the Father’s right hand. St. Joseph, who faithfully cared for the begin- nings of these mysteries, faithfully cares for us as these mysteries are perpetuated in our hearts, homes, and communities.

During this year, we as a diocese resolve to go to Joseph, whose witness, friendship, and intercession will help us attain the full stature of Christ (Eph 4:13). O guardian of Jesus, be our guardian, too!

St. Mary Mother of the Church will be offering an opportunity to visit the St. Joseph Churches in Patterson, Centerville and Loreauville on Tuesday, September 22. Due to Covid-19, we will not be going by bus, but car- pooling in our own cars. The day includes traveling to the churches, learning about the history of their church, and praying together. A lunch break will be provided (pay your own way). For those interested, we will meet in the parking lot (the Parish Hall side of the complex) of St. Mary Church at 8:45 a.m. to make sure people have their booklets and driving directions. If you have any questions or may be interest in joining this pilgrim- age, please register with JoAnn LeJune at 337-703-3041 on or before Monday, September 21st. 02 FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK: THE MESSAGE OF FATIMA & THE TEN COMMANDMENTS The Third Commandment (Concluded)

Consecrating Sunday to the Lord involves direct and conscious communication with the Lord through prayer, individual- ly and with others, worship at Holy Mass, and hearing God’s Word “which, by the ministry of , is addressed to us in the general assembly of the faithful. It was to them that the Lord confided the mission of preaching his word to us and guiding us in the way of salvation.” *

During the current health emergency of the Covid-19 pandemic, Deshotel has dispensed us, until further notice, from the obligation to attend Mass on Sundays and holydays of obligation. However, the obligation to pray and other- wise sanctify the Sunday rest remains. **

Sister Lúcia tells us that priests are human and subject to frailty. There are priests who remain faithful to the Lord and others who have lost their way and have gone astray. Lúcia quotes at length Malachi 2:1-7, after which she makes the fol- lowing remarks.

God shows us here the figure of a who was unfaithful and that of another who was faithful to the Lord and the mission entrusted to him. The fact that some priests fall away must not mean that our re- spect, our esteem and our veneration for those who persevere should be any less: rather the weakness of some should heighten the merit of the rest. Therefore, we should always listen with faith to the priest, because he is a light for our path, a guide for our life and a source of strength for our weakness.

Lúcia writes that “from the very beginning, in God’s Church, there were those who did not believe, were unfaithful or de- serted altogether. They left God to succumb to temptations to pride, avarice, sins of the flesh, the devil and the world.” In John’s gospel (John 6:61-71), we read how the Lord’s revelation of the mystery of the Holy provoked the disbelief of some followers who then left the Lord. When Jesus asked the Twelve if they too would leave Him, Peter responded, “Master, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.” (John 6:68). Like Peter, “we must believe in Christ and remain united to Him, in the person of the Successor of St. Peter, the Pope and Bishop of , and say, with him: ‘We have come to believe and are convinced that You are the Holy One of God, the Christ, the Son of the living God, who came into the world to save us; and that You only have the words of eternal life.’” (John 6:69). Jesus is present to us and remains with His Church always until the end of the world. (Matthew 28:20).

This is the door of salvation which God has opened for us, and the way by which we will go to Him: Christ and his Church. We are members of Christ’s Church, we are part of the Assembly of Christ and we will live united to Christ, so that we may be saved by Christ. And Sunday is the day appointed by God for all the members of the Mystical who form His Church to gather together in assembly.

When Jesus said, “It is the spirit that gives life, while the flesh is of no avail” (John 6:63), He is speaking about physical death when the life-giving spirit will leave our body and our mortal remains will be buried in a cemetery. Yet, on Judg- ment Day and the Day of General Resurrection, our bodies will rise to eternal life and be reunited with our souls “which animated them in life.” Then, we will be immortal in body and soul.

All of us, to a greater or lesser extent, in whatever situation we are placed, have a responsibility for the good of others, and the salvation of their souls. By our attitude toward them, by our words, our actions, and the prayers we should say for them, we have to help one another to keep on the right road; the road of faith in Christ, Head and Leader of his People, the Church. If we do not do this, how in fact do we con- secrate our Sunday to the Lord?

This Rule later was adopted as the Rule for the Carmelites, and thus Albert is considered a co-founder of the or- der. Patriarch of Jerusalem in 1205 under Pope Innocent III, a position that generally led to conflict with the Muslims, and martyrdom. Since his lands were wholly in the hands of Sara- cens, he established his see city at Akka (Acre). Held the office nearly ten years. Well known for his involvement in both state and church matters, and as a peacemaker to the Frankish factions in his see.

Involved in the great argument over whether apostates should be readmitted to the Church; Cyprian believed they should, but under stringent conditions.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18: Daughter saint richardis of of Kenneth I, the Count of (in modern France) and a Scottish émi- gré. Sister of King Boso of Provence. Married at age 22. Crowned Holy Roman Empress in 881.

After 19 years of marriage, she was accused by Emperor Charles of infidelity, though the reasons behind the claim were likely political. Charles claimed she was involved with the Bishop Liutword of Vercelli. She denied the charges, and even underwent trial by fire, a barbaric ritual that “proved” she was innocent by surviving being placed in the flames. Vindicated, Richardis left Charles, and became a nun at the Chateau de Hohen bourg in Alsace. Founded a Benedic- tine abbey at Andlau, France in 887, and lived the remainder of her days there.

Legend says that Richardis once found a mother bear grieving over a dead cub in the woods near the abbey. Richardis held the cub, and it returned to life. Both mother and cub be- came devoted companions of Richardis.
