From Ireland. Beautiful discussion on St Joseph. I'm nearly 80yrs old. My earliest memories was of my Mam kneeling by my bed praying to the three hearts, in praise of the names of Jesus Mary and Joseph. My Dad's name was Joseph, my daughter's name is Miriam Josephine, my son's name is Thomas Joseph. I became a widow at age 32. I placed myself and 3 children under guardianship of St Joseph. Oh y my home is called after St. Joseph. My grandson also. He is such a wonderful Saint. I could go go and on about him. 🙏☘️
Hello Imelda! What a beautiful story of the influence and importance of St. Joseph in your life and the lives of your family members. May St. Joseph continue to watch over and protect you, and may God bless you!
Thank you Fr. For this Video on St Joseph. Enlightening. Explanations. I am an Indian Catholic but never before I knew about St Joseph this much. Thank you and God bless you you. Happy Father's Day. God bless us all. Amen Amen Amen.
Saint Joseph, savior of our Savior from Herod's wrath into Egypt, and protector of our Mother, Mary Immaculate, thank you so very much for your kindness, protection and intercession!
Let us all behold St Joseph as our protector as well just as he was the protector of Jesus and Mary. Jesus, Mary and Joseph keep us safe from all that is evil.AMEN.
When you go into most any Catholic Church, Mary is on the left, Saint Joseph is on the right, and Jesus is in the center. The holy Family. The model for all families. Is it any wonder why the powers and principalities are working overtime to destroy the family.
St Joseph is our human father in Heaven. He is one of the Saints who answers most prayers. He has answered many of mine. Alphonsus wrote a great book about him. St. Joseph please continue to look after me and my family.❤
St Joseph was the only one I never gave up on, even during my time of apostasy, and upon my return to the Church, He is with our Lord, my greatest ally in my new life guiding my family to God Amen and Thank You Saint Joseph from your humble , broken, son. Joseph Paul Emmanuel Donald Lambert
Father and Brothers: THANK YOU! GOD BLESS YOU! Our Beloved St. Joseph wasnt second to Mary "because" of position but "because" he put Mary first, and Jesus first, together in his arms! It was his humility and beauty! Sweet St. Joseph guide us like you guided the Blessed Family! Amen!
“We declare, pronounce, and define that the doctrine which holds that the most Blessed Virgin Mary, in the first instance of her conception, by a singular grace and privilege granted by Almighty God, in view of the merits of Jesus Christ, the Savior of the human race, was preserved free from all stain of original sin, is a doctrine revealed by God and therefore to be believed firmly and constantly by all the faithful.”[29]
Our Lady is unique in her being preserved from original sin. There’s no need to push the envelope with St. Joseph simply bc you have a strong devotion to him.
Thank you Fr Bandet and BrJohn and Br Morgan. So inspiring. I love the easy way that you all interact with each other with such respect and love. Very inspiring. Salve Maria ❤
I have often thought of Saint Joseph as being conceived without Originl Sin. In the beginning of the Old Testament, our first parents were both « created » without sin. But in the beginning of the New Testament, Mary was conceived without that Original Sin because of Her role of the Mother of God. So why would God not grant that same privilege to Saint Joseph because of his being chosen as the earthly father of the Son of God AND also be a worthy spouse of the Immaculate One? Makes perfect sense to me. Bless you for putting the role of Saint Joseph in the proper perspective.
St Joseph, I surrender my family to you , to guide them in all their needs but most of all bring them all back to Jesus your son . I am praying for my two sons now so please help them to come back to the church and Jesus Christ our Saviour and dear friend . Protect and guide my family as you did Jesus and is mother Mary . Amen . ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I have two sons, the first is called in the baptism of Joseph, and the second is his real name is Joseph, and this month is dedicated to the prayer of the rosary of St. Joseph, the patron saint, my two sons and my family, and certainly the patron saint of all families in the world 🙏🙏🙏
I look to St Joseph as a step Father my husband is in the path of St Joseph is the Steph Father a wonderful person to all children with no Father thank you St Joseph for your love I love you ❤
Little gold crosses have been so rock star or hypocritical I found a little Joseph holding baby Jesus medal. Since then it's been one amazing challenge and inspiration after another for years now. Just when money or something seems desperate there's a change or inspiration how to do things more economically. If you consecrate your life to the Holy Family it will never be the same. You will find yourself constantly growing and learning and it will amaze you. They raised Jesus and the 3 will raise you. Not for the faint of heart and scrupulous of the rules. I'll be 77 in June...this is experience talking.
I've read the story of Brother Andre,He decided to adopt Saint Joseph as his Father.Brother Andre's life was very sad,and in all of his trials he knew Saint Joseph would bring him through them.
Given the great mission of Saint John the Baptist and that he was sanctified in his mother's womb by the Virgin Mary's visit to Saint Elizabeth, it would be expected that Saint Joseph, with a mission more glorious than that of Saint John the Baptist, would also be sanctified, but in a more glorious manner than that of St. John the Baptist. So what would be the most immediately glorious way to be sanctified in the womb, if not to be conceived without original sin, like the Virgin Mary? Yes, God loves to abound with grace...
St. Joseph was conceived in original sin but sanctified from his mother's womb after conception and never committed sin during his life. This is the claim by the mystics who had apparitions concerning St Joseph. This is why St Joseph is below Mary rather than alongside Mary as would be the case if St Joseph was also immaculately conceived.
The lesson from the Holy Family is from the context of their relationship St Joseph needed to go after completing his mission, during Jesus mission the role of St Joseph should conflict with Jesus mission ❤❤
I believe St. Joseph got to know about Mary's pregnancy right from the beginning, when Mary visited Elisabeth, and he heard of Elisabeth's greeting, and the response Mary gave. There is no way he learned it seeing a baby bump, because in a first time mother and young, it wouldn't show really until 16 weeks and even then only very little up till 26 weeks, which when covered in loose clothing would not be noticed.. But in the bible it says that she returned home after around 3 months. (12 weeks), and then he knew already and was troubled. I believe Joseph must have got to know about her pregnancy from Elisabeth and Zachariah, and all the events people were pondering and talking in the hillside of Judea. I don't think he ever thought it was somebody else child, than of God. And he might have thought he is in God's way by getting married to Mary, and that's why he wanted to divorce her quietly.
Me personally I think nobody see holy Josef grave because it’s me ho logically thinking he is up ⬆️ same as Mama Mary together with body in haven! He is not in earth! This I think will come in church as dogma !
From the account of Venerable Mary of Jesus of Agreda's City of God, Mother Mary revealed more of those moments of abandonment when he realised Mother Mary was with Child.
Hello! Thanks for the observation! The idea is a bit different here though. The idea is that we are promoting a sort of "Joseph Maximalism" like the current trend of "Marian Maximalism". That is why we used the novel form of the English verb...
@user-nz3oe8ii7f Yes, I had forgotten that Jesus had said that. I agree that it is very likely Joseph may have been sanctified and suggest it may have been at the time of the dream when he was told to take Mary as his wife?
Alot of good stuff Anthony. Much appreciated. Yes, it is clear we are there. It will continue to get worse for a while. The Mystical Body of Christ, will not fail, but it feels like someone has dipith thier hand in the cup, and has rushed off to betray the Church. The resurrection will follow this passion of the Church.
5:55 Joseph was a Carpenter. Joseph was the father God is a Carpenter. God is the father. God told Noah how to build the Ark, what wood to use and the dimensions. God is s Carpenter.
It's possible that St Joseph was assumed into Heaven. When he wed Mary, he received from her father, who is God the Father, a dowery. Exorcists drive out demons who fell who were supposed to be part of his dowery. I believe he received the grace of perfection. We was not conceived without sin, but received sinlessness as part of his dowery. I've also heard about a mystic saint who said his body is still 100% incorrupt and will be discovered in the future. I guess we shall see.
@@blancheb3533 March 18th is predicted in Medjugorje to be a future great feast of the Catholic Church. Since March 19th is the Feast of St Joseph, I wouldn't be surprised if one of the first three secrets of Medjugorje is the discovery of the incorrupt Body of St Joseph on March 18th. I've also wondered if the date could be the revealed true date of both Christmas and Good Friday. Jesus was actually born in lambing season. That's when the Shepherds were actually in their fields and the pens and stables were empty. The reason we celebrate Christmas on Dec 25 was because first century Jews considered march 25th as the first day of the year and the date of Creation. Early Christians assumed that was when the Annunciation happened. Anyone who claims it was because of the Roman Pagan holiday of the feast of the unconquered sun is full of crap.
I tried to pray the st.Joseph chaplet, but it’s so confusing, so many different of praying this chaplet. The Roserie is easy and clear. Wish the st. Joseph chaplet was the same and well written out.
Novena to St Joseph, 10th - 18th March Remember, O most chaste spouse of the Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto Thee, my spiritual father, and beg Thy protection. O Guardian of the Redeemer, despise not my petitions, but in Thy goodness hear and answer me. Amen. To Thee God entrusted his only Son; in Thee Mary placed her trust; with Thee Christ became man. Blessed Joseph, to us too, show Thyself a father and guide us in the path of life. Obtain for us grace, mercy and courage, and defend us from every evil. Amen.
John the Baptist was purified by the Holy Spirit at Mary's greeting with Elizabeth, so although John was not conceived without sin, he was BORN without sin. The Holy Spirit also granted to Elizabeth the infused knowledge that Mary was the mother of the Saviour at the same moment John was sanctified. Could it be a bit much of a stretch to acknowledge that Joseph was conceived without sin? I don't think the church would declare St Joseph as being conceived without sin as there is not the evidence that he was, at least from scripture. Not that we need scriptural proof of everything BUT St Joseph made up his mind to divorce Mary before they were married... We have that from the gospel... It is possible he was also purified by the Holy Spirit when he had the 'dream' to take Mary as his wife. We do need to be careful here.
Saint Joseph's role was infinitely more vital than John and Elizabeth, without him we would have lost Jesus during the slaughter of the innocent's, he also legally gave the name Jesus according to Jewish tradition giving the father the duty to bestow the name on the son. imagine not having that. Also Joseph in all earthly matters has the ability to ask Jesus for a favor as a father, no other saints could have the Word made flesh obey a petition in that particular fashion. Furthermore he had to be the purest in order to safeguard the purity of Mary
@@Luke_Rowlands Greatness of sanctity doesn't correlate with the importance of a person's role in gaining the Kingdom so it is not relevant to compare Joseph with John or Elizabeth in this way. The angel told Mary at the Annunciation that His name will be Jesus. So again neither of these points as well as the fact that an angel told Joseph in a dream to flee to Egypt also doesn't have a bearing on Joseph's sanctity as this was his role (not as determined or decided by him).
if u knew the bare minimum about he culture that Jesus was born into you would have quoted the gospel according Matthew, the most semitic of the Gospels; that declares, as it was indeed customary, that the Father: Joseph gave the name Jesus to the Messiah. in fact you quoted Luke who was a gentile, though close to Mary, he perhaps did not quite grasp the Messianic nuances that Matthew did, naturally
In India/Srilanka & other Asian Nations St Josph is one of the most popular Saint & many Churches are named after Him. ************* The 2 most given Names in the World to male children Are Joseph for Christians & Mohamod for Moslems.
So interesting. C an u give us some information about the Holy Spirit.l saw some videos on the Holy Spirit by David Pawson in Guildford England and would like your opinion on what he teaches.
Hello Doreen! Here's a podcast we did on Mary and the Holy Spirit: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xoeUjbGc9lE.html I'm not familiar with the work of David Pawson, I'm sorry. Please pray for us!
why the perplexity? we dont know reason for everything at the time.only when look back see somethings hidden for our own protection left in wilderness..then we notice there was footprints in the sand as no way could we of come through alone.
Hello Collet. True, we do not know what is coming and often only understand it when we are able to look back upon it. In the case of St. Joseph, however, it is a very different case. St. Joseph was chosen to be the earthly father of God's Only Begotten Son, to raise and protect that Son and to protect Mary also, the Mother of Jesus. Imagine his perplexity when, given such a grand role by God, all of these tremendous difficulties arose. For example, imagine, after Jesus was born and Herod demanded that all infants under 2 years were to be slaughtered; and that an Angel came to Joseph in a dream and told him to get up and take the woman and Child and flee into Egypt. St. Joseph dealt gracefully, courageously and faithfully with extraordinarily difficult situations despite his perplexity as to why. His abandonment to the will of God was his strength.
Where and for how long have you been sleeping? Did you know there was a Year of St Joseph not long ago? AoD priests always going on about the wonderful St Joseph!! And his name always in the prayers at Holy Mass crowded churches today for St Joseph, and i went to three! More i ask why on earth dont the Orthodox more than barely mention St Joseph?!
Valtorta write ✍️ that when Josef come to Elisabeth to take her home he see she is pregnant- until they come home his hear get withe from chock! Mery ask her self way God live to Josef don’t know nathing - angel say to Mary to not say anything to nobody- so Mary saffer saime way until Josef have dream with angel ! Both of them go true pain and enorm trust in God !!! They are ticher of Jesus I trust in you !!!!
I’m all about giving honor to St Joseph, but there is literally nothing anywhere in scripture or in early Church writings that even remotely suggests Joseph was also conceived without original sin. I’m sorry, but this is well meaning, but heterodox.
Well… with what authority can you say that it is heterodox? Please prove it wrong with theological reasoning before accusing these learned and orthodox priests.
@@jackaubrey7990 Our Lady received the unique grace of being preserved from original sin. Nobody gets to make claims against the faith without correction.
Jonah, we do absolutely respect the Dogma of the Immaculate Conception. Surely you have gotten something wrong. Honouring St.Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus, does not in any way remove or diminish the honour due to Mary, the mother of Jesus. We are praying for you.
@Christmaslights175 : There's still a very real need for Jesus to come into the world. Jesus came to suffer and die for all, (a sacrifice for our sins) God would not put someone else to suffer in such a horrific way for humanity! That would make God cruel and gutless! No! It had to be God in human form hence John I: 13-14 13). who were born not from human stock or human desire or human will but from God himself. 14). The Word became flesh, he lived among us, and we saw his glory, the glory that he has from the Father as only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.
@Christmaslights175 : Mary was saved from sin: Mary was saved from sin by receiving the grace to be preserved from it. But she was still saved. Only Mary is given the name “full of grace” and in the perfect tense, indicating that this permanent state of Mary was completed. St. Luke uses the perfect passive participle, kekaritomene, as his “name” for Mary. This word literally means “she who has been graced” in a completed sense. This verbal adjective, “graced,” is not just describing a simple past action. Greek has another tense for that. The perfect tense is used to indicate that an action has been completed in the past resulting in a present state of being. “Full of grace” is Mary’s name. So what does it tell us about Mary? Well, the average Christian is not completed in grace and in a permanent sense (see Phil. 3:8-12). But according to the angel, Mary is. You and I sin, not because of grace, but because of a lack of grace, or a lack of our cooperation with grace, in our lives. This greeting of the angel is one clue into the unique character and calling of the Mother of God. Only Mary is given the name “full of grace” and in the perfect tense, indicating that this permanent state of Mary was completed. Jesus saved Mother Mary in a unique way, by preventing at the moment of her conception, free from being stained with original sin. Now, we do understand that the stain of original sin is inherited, passed on to every human being. By having Mary free of the stain of original sin, IT COULD NOT BE PASSED ON TO JESUS. Hence, Jesus did not inherit original sin, and was free of the stain of original sin. Not only that, God does not dwell in sin, so Jesus dwelled in the sinless, pure body of Blessed Mary. Immaculate means: free from spot or stain; spotlessly clean: free from moral blemish or impurity; pure. Eve was created sinless, pure, full of grace and good. Yet she said NO to God and disobeyed as did Adam. Thereby bringing death into the world and the inherited stain of original sin Mary too, was created "immaculate", full of grace, and pure and sinless. She had the choice to say NO, but with complete faith said YES to God. Her yes brought LIFE into the world (through Jesus and He conquered death). Mary, by her "yes" to God, through the Angel Gabriel, participated in the Redemptive act of Jesus. She was free to say "no" to God, just as Eve (and Adam) freely chose to say "no" to God. That is why she is also called Co-redemptrix. It is not saying Mary redeemed us (that alone is what Christ did by His dying for our redemption). "Co" means together, joining, such as a "co-worker ", "co-star", for example: a movie star is the main character of a scene, movie, and the supporting actors, are "co-stars", without whom there would be no movie! That is Mary's title, and rightly so, for by her "yes", fully trusting and believing in God, she participated in the Redemption of mankind. Jesus is the STAR, while she is the Co-star. Yes, Christ did give Mary as our Mother. St. John the Apostle became Mary's son, who cared for and protected her. When Jesus gave Mary as John's mother, He used "woman", thereby having double meaning. Not only did Jesus give Mary as mother to John, but this also meant as "woman", she is Mother of the Church. For we Christians are the "adopted" brothers and sisters of Jesus, (as Scripture tells us) and that makes Mary our beloved Mother.
@Christmaslights175 : Mary, the Ark as Revealed in Mary’s Visit to Elizabeth. Golden Box: (Ark of the Old Covenant) The ark travelled to the house of Obed-Edom in the hill country of Judea (2 Sam. 6:1-11). Mary: (Ark of the New Covenant) Mary travelled to the house of Elizabeth and Zechariah in the hill country of Judea (Luke 1:39) Golden Box: (Ark of the Old Covenant) Dressed as a priest, David danced and leapt in front of the ark (2 Sam. 6:14) Mary: (Ark of the New Covenant) John the Baptist - of priestly lineage - leapt in his mother’s womb at the approach of Mary (Luke 1:41) Golden Box: (Ark of the Old Covenant) David asks, “How can the ark of the Lord come to me?” (2 Sam. 6:9). Mary: (Ark of the New Covenant) Elizabeth asks, “Why is this granted me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?” (Luke 1:43). Golden Box: (Ark of the Old Covenant) David shouts in the presence of the ark (2 Sam.6:15) Mary: (Ark of the New Covenant) Elizabeth “exclaimed with a loud cry” in the presence of the Mary (Luke 1:42). Golden Box: (Ark of the Old Covenant) The ark remained in the house of Obed-Edom for three months (2 Sam. 6:11). Mary: (Ark of the New Covenant) Mary remained in the house of Elizabeth for three months (Luke 1:56). Golden Box: (Ark of the Old Covenant) The house of Obed-Edom was blessed by the presence of the ark (2 Sam. 6:11). Mary: (Ark of the New Covenant) The word blessed is used three times; surely the house was blessed by God (Luke 1:39-45). Golden Box: (Ark of the Old Covenant) The ark returns to its home and ends up in Jerusalem, where God’s presence and glory is revealed in the temple (2 Sam. 6:12; 1 Kgs. 8:9-11). Mary: (Ark of the New Covenant) Mary returns home and eventually ends up in Jerusalem, where she presents God incarnate in the temple (Luke 1:56; 2:21-22). Mary as the Ark Revealed by Items inside the Ark (Inside the Ark of the Old Covenant) The stone tablets of the law - the word of God inscribed on stone. (Inside Mary, Ark of the New Covenant) The body of Jesus Christ - the word of God in the flesh. (Inside the Ark of the Old Covenant) The urn filled with manna from the wilderness - the miraculous bread come down from heaven. (Inside Mary, Ark of the New Covenant) The womb containing Jesus, the bread of life come down from heaven (John 6:41) (Inside the Ark of the Old Covenant) The rod of Aaron that budded to prove and defend the true high priest. (Inside Mary, Ark of the New Covenant) The actual and eternal High Priest.
@Christmaslights175 : Aramaic (the language spoken by Jesus and his apostles,) had no word for “cousin,” so cousins and other close relatives were often referred to as brothers. The brothers and sisters that they said were actually Jesus' cousins by Joseph's brother (Clopas) . you will notice on the cross Jesus gave his mother to John to care for as his own mother. “Don't you think if she had other children they would have taken care of her” He would have had surviving siblings who would have taken care of her. It would be surprising for Jesus to release his brothers from their obligation to their mother, especially because he criticized the Pharisees for neglecting the support of their own parents in Matthew 15:3-6. The New Testament does not say that Elizabeth is Mary’s cousin, the Greek word for which is anepsios. The word used in Luke 1:36 to describe Elizabeth is suggenes (pronounced su-gen-ace), which simply means kinswoman or relative. It tells us nothing about her exact relation within the extended family. All we can tell from the word suggenes is that Elizabeth was some kind of female relative of Mary’s. But whether she was an aunt, a cousin, or a more distant relation cannot be determined from the word. Oh and Mary was a common name, so guess what, her sister in law had the same first name. John 19:25 New International Version (NIV) 25 Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mother’s sister Mary, the wife of Clopas and Mary Magdalene. Mary was dedicated before her birth to serve the Lord in the temple, as Samuel had been dedicated by his mother (1 Sam. 1:11). This required perpetual virginity of Mary so that she could completely devote herself to the service of the Lord. Joseph was a male protector who would respect her vow of virginity. When Mary conceived, Joseph had to answer to the temple authorities. So Mary’s betrothal to Joseph was not in conflict with her vow of virginity. When the angel Gabriel tells Mary that she will bear a son, Mary asks, “How shall this be, since I have no husband?” (Luke 1:34). At this point, Mary was engaged to Joseph. Why would she then be so surprised at being told she would conceive? If she were planning on having children with Joseph in the usual way, it wouldn’t make sense for her to ask how she would be able to have a child. This question makes sense only if Mary was already planning to remain a virgin. The firstborn was to be consecrated to the Lord (Ex. 13:2); the parents were to redeem every firstborn son (Ex. 34:20). They weren’t supposed to wait until they had a second child to redeem the firstborn, and so the first son born to a woman was called the firstborn regardless of whether or not she had other children later on. Mary’s perpetual virginity demonstrates her purity of heart and total love for God. Mary’s virginity was “so great an example of material virtue” because it demonstrated her total devotion to Jesus. In Mary, we see an example of the purity our own hearts must have in total dedication to God. Her virginity also tells us something about the Church, which, like Mary, is both mother to the faithful and “pure bride to her one husband” (2 Cor. 11:2). Matthew 1:24-25 Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. 25 But he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus. That doesn't mean that they consummated the marriage after the birth. This is used to emphasize what is being described before the until is fulfilled. It is not intended to say anything about the future beyond that point. Here are some biblical examples: 2 Samuel 6:23: And Michal the daughter of Saul had no child to (until) the day of her death. (Does this mean she had children after she died?) 1 Corinthians 15:25: For he (Christ) must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. (Does this mean Christ’s reign will end? By no means! Luke 1:33 says, “he will reign over the house of Jacob forever and of his kingdom there shall be no end.”) When Paul had appealed to be kept in custody for the decision of the emperor, I commanded him to be held until (Gk. heos hou) I could send him to Caesar.” Does this text mean that Paul would not be held in custody once he was “sent” to Caesar? Not according to the biblical record. He would be held in custody while in transit (see Acts 27:1) and after he arrived in Rome for a time (see Acts 29:16). The action of the main clause did not cease with heos hou.
@Christmaslights175 : Mary the mother of God Jesus is one Divine person with two nature's (God nature and human nature),He's not a divine person & a human person separately. If you are saying Mary gave birth to only the man then you are either denying the Divinity of Jesus or you are saying Jesus is 2 persons which would make 4 persons in the Trinity. Mary is not the mother of the Trinity she is the mother of the Second person of the Trinity (Jesus, the second person of the Trinity, is the only one who became incarnate) Mary gave birth to Jesus. Mary gave birth to Jesus' body and soul composit; she didn't give birth to a soulless body! she didn't create the soul; just as your mother didn't create your soul but your mother gave birth to you a person, both body and soul (not a soulless body). Mary gave birth to a person with the (essence) nature of Divine. Therefore we can call Mary the mother of God, not mother meaning that she created. In the garden of Eden Satan overthrew both the man and the woman, (Adam & Eve). therefore it needs both man and woman to redeem humanity from Satan. Both (Jesus and Mary) for redemption. John 1:1-2: “In the beginning was Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. All things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made.” And then in verse 14 it says “And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us.” Well, how was he made flesh? He was born of the Virgin Mary. So what we have here is almighty God was born of the Blessed Virgin Mary, which means Mary necessarily is the mother of God.
St Joseph, is the head of the Holy Family and for you to promote what has not been revealed by God takes away from me to trust you. In fact I was sleeping not really listening but when you said this about St Joseph the Holy Spirit woke me up and sadly all credibility of your channel was lost. In the end days they will have itching ears for new teachings.❤
Hello Genevieve. We have always agreed and taught that St. Joseph is the head of the Holy Family...because he is! There is nothing in this video that disagrees with the integrity, holiness, faithfulness, courage and humility of St. Joseph; in fact, here we are taught even more about these wonderful attributes of St. Joseph. If you listen to the video again, fully awake, you will hopefully see that this is a teaching on the majesty and submission of St. Joseph to the will of God; to be the one chosen by God to be the earthly father of the His Son and the head of the Holy Family. God bless you!
@@HeraldsoftheGospel_official Thankyou for your reply, I have listened, many times before I responded, shocked and saddened that you would teach your pious leaders thoughts about St Joseph's origin. Mary the Mother of God carried Jesus in her womb, as nothing unclean can enter heaven, it makes perfect sense that the divinity of Jesus could not be conceived in anything less then Immaculate. When Joseph, being a just man learned of Mary's pregnancy he was at first going to quietly put her aside, not to bring shame on her which in those times resulted in being stoned to death. It was only after it was revealed to Joseph in a dream by an Angel, Matt, 1.20 Be not afraid to take Mary as your wife as she has conceived the Son of God by the Holy Spirit. Your response details nothing of my objection. I am an intelligent person who has studied much over the past 9 years and would not dare misrepresent God by pushing my human thoughts. Too many people today forget God is JUSTICE.
@@genevieverose931 If you have truly studied for 9 years, you must have learnt to write clearly at least... But your comments don't reveal your education. I don't think ANYONE understood WHAT your objection actually is?
@@alfredrose-qd2dv I don't believe my comment was in anyway directed at you. Thankyou for your ignorant rude response, I can offer it up to God. Listen from 15.10, the founder of this order believes St Joseph was born without "Original Sin".
Sorry to hear that you believe that honouring St. Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus, the Son of God, is nonsense. God obviously chose St. Joseph, as evidenced in the Gospels...was God irresponsible? God bless you.
The only thing to talk about is JESUS CHRIST and HIM crucified. (1 Corinthians 2:2 KJV) My evidence as follows: Colossians 1:12 KJV Giving thanks unto the FATHER, which hath made us meet (acceptable) to be partakers of the inheritance of the Saints in Light: 13 Who has delivered us from the power of darkness, and has translated us into the Kingdom of HIS DEAR SON: 14 In Whom we have redemption through HIS blood, even the forgiveness of sins: 15 Who is the IMAGE of the invisible GOD, the firstborn of every creature: 16 For by HIM were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by HIM, and for HIM: 17 And HE is before all things, and by HIM all things consist. 18 And HE is the HEAD of the Body, the Church: Who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things HE might have the preeminence. 19 For it pleased the FATHER that in HIM should all fulness dwell; 20 And, having made peace through the blood of HIS cross, by HIM to reconcile all things unto HIMSELF; by HIM, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven." 21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now HE has reconciled 22 In the Body of HIS flesh through death (crucified once for all on the cross), to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable inHIS sight (all sins forgiven):
Hello Jack. Giving honour to the earthly father of Jesus does not take away from Jesus. God chose Joseph to be the head of the Holy Family and St. Joseph fulfilled his role magnificently! Do you not think that Jesus loved and honoured His own father on earth? After Jesus was lost in Jerusalem and then was found in the temple by His mother and father (Mary and Joseph), Scripture quotes that "his parents did not know it", and, His mother Mary as saying, "Your father and I have been looking for you anxiously." www.ncregister.com/blog/immaculate-mary-and-the-finding-in-the-temple Luke 2:51 51 Then he returned to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. And his mother stored all these things in her heart. God bless you.
@@HeraldsoftheGospel_official I have no doubt CHRIST felt about Joseph like HE did about Mary as follows: Mark 3:31 KJV "There came then HIS brethren and HIS mother, and, standing without, sent unto HIM, calling HIM. 32 And the multitude sat about HIM, and they said unto HIM, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee. 33 And HE answered them, saying, Who is MY mother, or MY brethren? 34 And HE looked round about on them which sat about HIM, and said, Behold MY mother and MY brethren! 35 For whosoever shall do the will of GOD, the same is MY brother, and MY sister, and mother." CHRIST placed no special attention toward Mary or Joseph. Neither should you.
@@HeraldsoftheGospel_officialTrue??? It's Holy Scripture. He did honor them (5th Commandment) being subject to them as a child but always busy with HIS TRUE FATHERS business. Luke 2:46 KJV "And it came to pass, that after three days they found HIM in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions. 47 And all that heard HIM were astonished at his understanding and answers. 48 And when they saw HIM, they were amazed: and HIS mother said unto HIM Son, why have you thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing. 49 And HE said unto them, How is it that you sought me? do you know that I must be about my FATHER’s business? 50 And they understood not the saying which HE spoke unto them. 51 And HE went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but HIS mother kept all these sayings in her heart. 52 And JESUS increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man." Note: CHRIST does not acknowledge Joseph as HIS father. Never does. By the way, I know people that have seen buddhist priests in the vatican working alongside catholic priests ministering.
