What is the powerful Seven Sundays devotion to St. Joseph?

Public Domain

Philip Kosloski - published on 01/28/18

A little-known devotion that honors Joseph's joys and sorrows.

St. Joseph, while he never spoke a word in scripture, is one of the most beloved of Christianity. His silent example of obedient faithfulness is one that spoke much louder than any words.

Over the centuries there grew many different devotions to St. Joseph, expressing a deep filial love for the foster-father of Jesus. Among them was the powerful Seven Sundays devotion.

According to Salt and Light Media, “The story goes that two Franciscan monks who were shipwrecked at sea clung to a plank for two days, and were saved by a man of venerable appearance who miraculously brought them to shore. When they asked who he was, he replied, ‘I am Joseph, and I desire you to honor my seven sorrows and seven joys.'”

Whatever the origins may be, a devotion was developed where the seven sorrows and seven joys of Joseph became the focus of meditation on the seven Sundays preceding his feast on March 19. The first Sunday of these meditations is typically either the last Sunday of January or the first Sunday of February.

Below are the following joys and sorrows of St. Joseph, along with their respective passages in scripture. One approach to these Sundays is to read each passage and consider how Joseph would have felt in the situation. This is a form of lectio divina or “divine reading,” where you are able to put yourself into the scene and see Joseph’s expressions during each episode.

When praying the Seven Sundays devotion, it is customary to pray for a specific intention, asking St. Joseph’s powerful intercession for your needs.

St. Joseph Freinademetz, SVD January 29th

Most of the days from as well as his profound November till April he traveled between the Freinademetz house built on a religiosity. slope and the school down in the village. For the rest of the year Joseph had to help with the farm work. Then suddenly, amidst various events that came Through the intercession of across his life, the ten-year old boy left his beloved peaceful Oies and set out on a long journey for the priesthood, which began with a day walk to the St. Joseph we implore you nearest secondary school in .

Sunday of the Word of God January 24 ~ Third Sunday in Ordinary Time

When the Sacred Scriptures are read in the Church, God himself speaks to his people, and Christ, present in his word, proclaims the Gospel. Therefore, the readings from the Word of God are to be listened to reverently by everyone, for they are an element of the greatest importance in the Liturgy. Although in the readings from Sacred Scripture the Word of God is addressed to all people of whatever era and is understandable to them, a fuller understanding and a greater efficaciousness of the word is nevertheless fostered by a living commentary on the word, that is, by the Homily, as part of the liturgical action. (General Instruction of the Roman Missal [GIRM], no. 29)

Pope Francis’ Apostolic Letter, Motu proprio "Aperuit illis", published on 30 September [2019], establishes that "the Third Sunday in Ordinary Time is to be devoted to the celebration, study and dissemination of the Word of God". https://www.vaticannews.va/en/pope/news/2019-09/pope-motu-proprio-sunday-word-of-god.html
