Twenty-fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time, September 19

Jesus and his disciples left from there and began a journey through Galilee, but he did not wish anyone to know about it. He was teaching his disciples and telling them, “The Son of Man is to be handed over to men and they will kill him, and three days after his death the Son of Man will rise.” But they did not understand the saying, and they were afraid to question him.

They came to Capernaum and, once inside the house, he began to ask them, “What were you arguing about on the way?” But they remained silent. They had been discussing among themselves on the way who was the greatest. Then he sat down, called the Twelve, and said to them, “If anyone wishes to be first, he shall be the last of all and the servant of all.” Taking a child, he placed it in the their midst, and putting his arms around it, he said to them, “Whoever receives one child such as this in my name, receives me; and whoever receives me, receives not me but the One who sent me.”

FROM the PASTOR CORNER

The Year of St. Joseph

Pope Francis announced this liturgical year a Year of St. Joseph in honor of the 150th anniversary of the saint’s proclamation as patron of the universal Church. It is a special gift since it is inviting us to place special attention on St. Joseph’s life and to invoke his help. Following his example, we could strengthen our life of faith daily in the complete fulfillment of God’s will.

In this Year of St. Joseph Catholics have the opportunity to obtain a special plenary indulgence. It is a great gift since plenary indulgence remit all temporal punishment due to sin. It must be accompanied by full detachment from sin. Until December 8, 2021, there are many new ways that Catholics can receive an indulgence, including entrusting their daily work to the protection of St. Joseph the Worker or reciting the Rosary with their families or betrothed.

It is important to remember that these acts must be accompanied by (1) sacramental confession, (2) Eucharistic Communion, and (3) prayer for the pope’s intentions - the usual conditions to obtain any plenary indulgence.

The decree issued by the Apostolic Penitentiary enumerates the following ways to receive an indulgence in the Year of St. Joseph (while the usual conditions for indulgence are fulfilled):

1) Participate in a spiritual retreat for at least one day that includes a meditation on St. Joseph.

2) Pray for St. Joseph’s intercession for the unemployed that they might find dignifying work.

3) Recite the Litany of St. Joseph for persecuted Christians.

4) Entrust one’s daily work and activity to the protection of St. Joseph the Worker.

5) Follow St. Joseph’s example in performing a corporal work of mercy. These include feeding the hungry, giving drink to the thirsty, clothing the naked, sheltering the homeless, visiting the imprisoned, visiting the sick, and burying the dead.

6) Perform one of the spiritual works of mercy, such as comforting the sorrowful, counseling the doubtful, instructing the ignorant, admonishing the sinner, bearing wrongs patiently, forgiving injuries, and praying for the living and the dead.

7) Pray the Rosary together with one’s family in order that “all Christian families may be stimulated to recreate the same atmosphere of intimate communion, love and prayer that was in the Holy Family.”

8) Engaged couples can also receive an indulgence from praying the Rosary together.

9) Meditate for at least 30 minutes on the Lord’s Prayer, because St. Joseph “invites us to rediscover our filial relationship with the Father, to renew fidelity to prayer, to listen and correspond with profound discernment to God’s will.”

10) Celebrate the feast of St. Joseph on March 19 or the feast of St. Joseph the Worker on May 1 with an act of piety in honor of St. Joseph.

11) Pray an approved prayer to St. Joseph on the 19th of any month.

12) Honor Joseph with an act of piety or approved prayer on a Wednesday, the day traditionally dedicated to St. Joseph.

The elderly, the sick, and the dying who are unable to leave their homes due to the coronavirus pandemic also have special permission to receive an indulgence by “offering with trust in God the pains and discomforts” of their lives with a prayer to St. Joseph, hope of the sick and patron of a happy death. In this instance the person must have the intention of fulfilling, as soon as possible, the three usual conditions for an indulgence, as well as detachment from sin.

May we thus use this opportunity to commit ourselves, with prayers and good works, to obtain with the help of St. Joseph comfort and relief from the serious human and social tribulations that today afflict the contemporary world.

Fr. Mark Jurzyk

Spiritual Communion An act of Spiritual Communion can help in our current situation. It can be prayed at Communion time while watching Mass on an electronic device, or any time during the day when you especially want to be united with the Lord. All that is required is an expression of contrition/sorrow for sin made before inviting the Lord into your heart through this prayer of spiritual communion:

My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there, and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen
