REFLECTION: REFLECTION: SAINT VS. BLESSED MASS INTENTIONS (MAY 10-16)
Question: What is the difference between a “Saint” and a “Blessed”? Mon 10 * * * No Mass Answer: Woodrow Brinegar (D) The process of proclaiming someone as a saint in the Tue 11 06:30 PM Catholic Church has evolved over the course of many by The Wood Family centuries. In the beginning, those honored as saints were almost exclusively biblical figures or martyrs. However, Wed 12 08:30 AM Elena Cendana (D) after the legalization of Christianity in the fourth century, new holy women and men came to be honored as saints, Thu 13 06:30 PM Andrew Breckenridge (L) and this was often done by popular acclaim or by the local bishop or abbot. It was Pope Gregory IX (who was pope Dot Brinegar (D) from 1227 to 1241) who officially proclaimed that only the Fri 14 08:30 AM pope had the authority to add someone to the official list by The Wood Family (the “canon”) of saints. This is the meaning of the word Fr. Leon Alexander (D) “canonization.” Today, the saint-making process includes Sat 15 05:00 PM several steps, including detailed studies of the person’s life by Cathy & Larry Taylor and a recognition that they died as a martyr or lived a life of “heroic virtue.” Once someone is recognized as a martyr or Tony Tallarico Sr. (D) 10:00 AM if a miracle is attributed to their intercession, they will be by The Tallarico Family beatified and honored as “Blessed.” This means that they Sun 16 can be celebrated by Catholics in a particular country or region or by the members of certain religious community.

APOSTOLIC EXHORTATION REDEMPTORIS CUSTOS YEAR OF ST. JOSEPH OF THE SUPREME PONTIFF JOHN PAUL II
ON THE PERSON AND MISSION OF ST. JOSEPH IN THE LIFE OF CHRIST AND OF THE CHURCH
The Gospel Portrait
A little earlier the Gospel writer had stated that at the moment of the Annunciation, Mary was "betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David." The nature of this "marriage" is explained indirectly when Mary, after hearing what the messenger says about the birth of the child, asks, "How can this be, since I do not know man?" (Lk 1:34) The angel responds: "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God" (Lk 1:35). Although Mary is already "wedded" to Joseph, she will remain a virgin, because the child conceived in her at the Annunciation was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit. At this point Luke's text coincides with Matthew 1:18 and serves to explain what we read there. If, after her marriage to Joseph, Mary is Prayer to St. Joseph found to be with child of the Holy Spirit," this fact corresponds to all that the Annunciation means, in particular to Mary's final words: "Let it be to me according to your word" (Lk 1:38). In response to what is clearly the Hail, Guardian of the Redeemer, plan of God, with the passing of days and weeks Mary's "pregnancy" is Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary. visible to the people and to Joseph; she appears before them as one who To you God entrusted His only Son; must give birth and carry within herself the mystery of motherhood. in you Mary placed her trust; 3. In these circumstances, "her husband Joseph, being a just man and with you Christ became man. unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to send her away quietly" (Mt 1:19). He did not know how to deal with Mary's "astonishing" Blessed Joseph, to us too, motherhood. He certainly sought an answer to this unsettling question, show yourself a father but above all he sought a way out of what was for him a difficult and guide us in the path of life. situation. "But as he considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, 'Joseph, son of David, do not fear to Obtain for us grace, mercy take Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy and courage, and defend us Spirit; she will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will from every evil. save his people from their sins'" (Mt 1:20-21). Amen.
