St. Joseph, the earthly reflection of our Heavenly Father, offers a powerful antidote to the crises of modern manhood. In this insightful book, Fr. Serafino M. Lanzetta explores Joseph’s hidden holiness, drawing from Scripture and Tradition to reveal his unique role in salvation history. You’ll discover how Joseph reflected divine love, participated in Christ’s mission, protected the Holy Family, and modeled silent reverence before the Eucharist. Complete with prayers, litanies, and devotions, this book invites renewed trust in St. Joseph’s intercession and example.

The Silent Witness of Nazareth

Today we read about Elijah&#39;s discouragement after fleeing from Jezebel, and how God tells him to &quot;arise and eat&quot; to strengthen him for the journey ahead. Fr. Mike points out how God calls us to draw strength for the journey as well, even at the end of our earthly lives. The readings are 1 Kings 19-20, 2 Chronicles 20, and Song of Solomon 6.

What does it mean when you wear a cross around your neck? Is it just jewelry? Is it a sign of your identity to other people? Is it a reminder to you of Christ&#39;s command to pick up your cross and follow him? Jeff shares about what it means to him when he wears his crucifix, and challenges us to wear ours with meaning, too.<a rel="payment" href="https://ascensionpress.com/products/support-ascension">Support The Jeff Cavins Show (Your Catholic Bible Study Podcast)</a>
