March 19, 2025, Solemnity of St. Joseph, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Holy Rosary (Glorious Mysteries)

Friends of the Rosary,Today is the Solemnity of Saint Joseph, spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary and patron and protector of the universal family of the Church. Having died in the company of Mary and Jesus, he is also considered the patron saint of a happy death.Joseph gave his entire self to serve Jesus and Mary. He endured repeated difficulties, like the journey to Bethlehem, the exile into Egypt, the loss, and then the finding of the Child Jesus in the Temple at Jerusalem.Joseph and Mary’s self-giving love for each other formed the authentic and original domestic church that protected and nurtured Jesus. Together, they form the model for the Christian family.Joseph, one of our most beloved saints, was willing to cooperate with the divine plan. Like Mary at the Annunciation, he trusted and let himself be led. He faithfully fulfilled his high trust in protecting and guarding God’s greatest earthly treasures, Jesus and Mary. He trustworthily witnessed the Messiah’s virgin birth.Saint Augustine wrote, "What could Jesus Christ refuse St. Joseph, who never refused him anything during his mortal life on earth?"Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Saint Joseph, Pray for Us!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!+ Mikel Amigot | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!
