Feast of St. Joseph St. Joseph, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary Monday, March 19 th Mass at 8:30am Joseph was a man who always listened to the voice of God; he was a man attentive to the messages that came to him from the depths of his heart and from God. He did not persist in following his own plan for his life, but rather, he was ready to make himself available to what God was asking of him. His freedom to renounce even what was his, the possession of his very life, and his full interior availability to the will of God challenges us and shows us the way. Pope Francis. St. Joseph, Pray of Us.
