All welcome at ‘Consecration to St. Joseph’ in person and Zoom programs in Maine during Lent – Bangor Daily News

SACO In the Year of St. Joseph, two Maine parishes will present opportunities for anyone interested to learn more about the universal patron of the Church and his life of wonder and ceaseless love.

A similar program will be presented by St. Joseph Parish inEllsworthvia Zoom from Feb. 15 to March 19. The 33-day virtual program involves spending 20-30 minutes a day entrusting yourself to the saints paternal care then meeting as a group via Zoom once a week. To register for the program, contact Joe Losquadro atjoelos@roadrunner.comor 207-664-0964.

The programs are based onConsecration to St. Joseph: The Wonders of Our Spiritual Father, a book by Fr. Donald Calloway, a member of the Congregation of Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary. The book and programs aim to help restore order to our Church and world through the potent, paternal intercession and care of St. Joseph. Each day is a self-contained experience that includes three parts: a short passage that teaches the meaning of part of the Litany of St. Joseph, a passage on one of St. Josephs wonders, and a prayer.

In December, Pope Francis proclaimed a special Year of St. Joseph, beginning on the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception 2020 and extending to the same feast this year (December 8, 2021). In his Apostolic Letter entitledPatris corde(With a Fathers Heart), Pope Francis describes St. Joseph as a beloved father, a tender and loving father, an obedient father, an accepting father, a father who is creatively courageous, a working father, and a father in the shadows. The letter celebrated the 150thanniversary of Pope Pius IXs declaration naming St. Joseph the patron of the Universal Church.

The Holy Father wrotePatris cordeagainst the backdrop of the pandemic, which, he says, has helped us see more clearly the importance of ordinary people who, though far from the limelight, exercise patience and offer hope every day. In this, they resemble St. Joseph, the man who goes unnoticed, a daily, discreet and hidden presence who nonetheless played an incomparable role in the history of salvation.
