Jesus Loves Me

Today is a feast of St. Joseph! This art of St. Joseph & Jesus was created by Sr. Joella Marie Ruffing, SND. Presently there are two major feasts in his honor – On March 19 our honor is directed to him personally & to his part in the work of redemption. On May 1 we honor him as the patron of workmen throughout the world.

The Miraculous Medal and Alphonse Ratisbonne.

The most famous as well as dramatic account of a Miracle attributed to Our Lady’s intercession through the Miraculous Medal is that of Alphonse Ratisbonne.

He was an Austrian Jew, very well off in material possessions, a man of the world.

He harbored a great hatred for Catholics, and all things pertaining to the Catholic Church.

He became poor
so that by his poverty you might become rich
(cf. 2 cor 8:9)

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
As Lent draws near, I would like to offer some helpful thoughts on our path of conversion as individuals and as a community. These insights are inspired by the words of Saint Paul: "For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that by his poverty you might become rich" (2 Cor 8:9). The Apostle was writing to the Christians of Corinth to encourage them to be generous in helping the faithful in Jerusalem who were in need. What do these words of Saint Paul mean for us Christians today? What does this invitation to poverty, a life of evangelical poverty, mean for us today?
