The first is an interesting article by Mike Aquilina on how not only does St. Joseph not say a word in the Gospels, but no one else says a word TO him either - except the angels! Enjoy!
The next is an article on appearances and apparitions over the centuries. Who knew? Well, Joseph Pronechen, the author has put it all together for us.
Another article, by Sr. Clare Hunter, is an "Examen for Masculine Virtue"; a great article for men (by a woman no less!) and the women wondering what they should be looking for in a man.
Finally, an article by Joseph O'Brien, of my own Diocese of La Crosse, on "St. Joseph and the Sacrifice of the Mass".
It is amazing to me that we have had such an explosion of material on St. Joseph over these past few years. We have come to understand that St. Joseph's intercession will be an essential element in meeting the challenges of this period in human history - the history of salvation. The material is a real gold mine, but it is only a start. It is necessary that in having been give the opportunity to "know about" St. Joseph, that we come to "know" St. Joseph: this can only be accomplished by prayer.
