Pray with the Silence of St. Joseph
"...His is a silence permeated by contemplation of the mystery of God, in an attitude of total availability to his divine wishes. ...Let us allow ourselves to be "infected" by the silence of St Joseph! We have much need of it in a world which is often too noisy, which does not encourage reflection and listening to the voice of God." (Pope Benedict XVI, December 18, 2005)
Praying can many times be a "one way conversation" as we offer prayers of thanks, forgiveness, praise, intentions and blessings.  There is also the need to be silent.  St. Joseph never spoke a single word in the Scriptures, but in his silence, he had profound spiritual awakenings.  Take time to meditate in silence with St. Joseph with these reflective statements.
  • The Silence of Joseph echoes in a world of noise turning a cacophony of self love into a melody of self surrender.
  • The silence of Joseph is a seed which bears the fruit of holiness and courage.
  • The silence of Joseph drowns the din of sorrow and silences the wailing of the weak
  • The silence of Joseph draws the world to a cave in Bethlehem where God is born as man and man is born again
  • The silence of Joseph draws us to our knees in worship of the Word made flesh in whose presence all words of men lose their meaning.
  • The silence of Joseph directs a symphony of silence which stills the universe in adoration of the One in Whom the New creation has come.
Let us join our silence to the Silence of Joseph.

JANUARY 23 
Feast of St. Marianne Cope
St. Marianne participated in the establishment of two of the first hospitals in the central New York area, St. Elizabeth Hospital in Utica (1866) and St. Joseph's Hospital in Syracuse (1869). Both hospitals begun by the Franciscan sisters had unique charters for their time. They were open to caring for the sick without distinction as to a person's nationality, religion or color. These two hospitals were among the first 50 general hospitals in the entire U.S.  Her leadership in health care came about because of a need for someone with unique abilities and talents. It was often said that no challenge ever seemed too much for her.  
Today, as we are challenged by the Covid pandemic around the world, let us pray through the intercession of St. Marianne Cope for healing, for sanctity of life and to listen for our own distinct vocational call.
