Saint Joseph – Feast Day

In Honor of the Feast of St. Joseph, husband of Mary, foster father of our Lord Jesus! I almost don’t like referring to him as the “foster” father of Jesus. Even Mary, our Mother, refers to him simply as the father of Jesus – Luke 2:48. Jesus was raised by Joseph as His father. We understand the intent to distinguish Jesus’ Heavenly Father as God, but it is right also to refer to Joseph, “a righteous man”, as His father. St. Joseph, always be a father to us as well. Adopt us, as you took our Lord under your care. Amen!

As mentioned in previous posts, this is an ongoing display of our Holy Card Project. Holy Cards will continue to be added as our collections align with Feast Days of the Saints in our collection.

God bless.

Hosanna to the Son of David

In anticipation of Palm Sunday, check out this wonderful song. The whole album is fantastic – especially for the little ones.

Check out this song – starting at 31:30. You will love it!

Saint Patrick – Feast Day

Happy Feast Day to Saint Patrick! Most famous for using shamrocks to help explain the Holy Trinity, because of him many came to convert to the Catholic Faith. While many now simply recognize this day as another excuse to celebrate in a purely secular sense, let us remember to be an example to others of our Catholic Faith.

As mentioned in previous posts, this is an ongoing display of our Holy Card Project. Holy Cards will continue to be added as our collections align with Feast Days of the Saints in our collection.

God bless.

Jesus Christ is King

All Saints Museum presents the latest song salvaged from an old cassette tape, available on our YouTube Channel. This song is a fantastic way to prepare for upcoming Palm Sunday, next week. “We proclaim, Jesus Christ is King” – We know this to be true now. The people who welcomed Jesus knew it as well, but then only a short while later they were demanding that he be crucified. Let us never turn our backs on our Lord. Let this be an inspiration to us to stay holy that we may join all the Saints in heaven. This song is played to a set of our Holy Cards, several of which are in our Holy Card Project.

We hope you enjoy.

Jesus Christ is King

Please subscribe to our channel for future posts. We will continue to add more songs from the album.

http://www.stgemmagalgani.com/2008/11/novena-to-st-gemma-galgani.html

Preface: Oh most Divine Lord, we humbly prostrate ourselves before Thy Infinite Majesty, and we adore Thee and dedicate to Thy glory the devout prayers which we now present to Thee, as an act of devotion to your servant, Saint Gemma Galgani, whose intercession we are now imploring.

Oh most lovable St Gemma, we ask you to be our patroness and special friend today and always. Assist us in our daily spiritual and material needs and teach us to know, love and serve the Lord our God with all our hearts. Accompany us, along with our guardian Angel, in all our ways, and guide us lovingly to Heaven. Assist us at the time of our death along with Jesus, Mary and Joseph, and plead our cause before God, and trusting in His great mercy and the Passion of Jesus thy Spouse, obtain for us the salvation of our souls, and also the favor that we now humbly request (mention request).

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be.

Pray for us, Saint Gemma, that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Let us pray. O God, Who fashioned thy servant Saint Gemma into a likeness of Thy Crucified Son, grant us through her intercession the favor that we humbly request, and through the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Thy Son, may we be united with You for all eternity. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Preface: Oh most Divine Lord, we humbly prostrate ourselves before Thy Infinite Majesty, and we adore Thee and dedicate to Thy glory the devout prayers which we now present to Thee, as an act of devotion to your servant, St Gemma Galgani, whose intercession we are now imploring.

Oh most fervent St Gemma, so many times you shed countless tears over your sins, and sought constantly to do penance and to make reparation for them. We who are so inclined to pamper ourselves, always seeking to gratify our senses and excuse ourselves from every penance, help us to recognize the infinite sufferings that Jesus endured for our sins, and all the pains we caused Him, and with the Passion of Jesus in mind, obtain for us a great sorrow and desire to never commit such sins again.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be.

Pray for us, Saint Gemma, that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Let us pray. O God, Who fashioned thy servant Saint Gemma into a likeness of Thy Crucified Son, grant us through her intercession the favor that we humbly request (mention request), and through the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Thy Son, may we be united with You for all eternity. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

Oh holy saint of the Passion of Jesus, St Gemma, as a soul victim you were always pleading for the salvation of sinners. Obtain for us, we beg you, not only the grace that we are asking, if it would be God’s will (mention request) but most importantly obtain for us the conversion and salvation of our souls, so that someday we may be united with Jesus, Mary and you for all eternity.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be.

Preface: Oh most Divine Lord, we humbly prostrate ourselves before Thy Infinite Majesty, and we adore Thee and dedicate to Thy glory the devout prayers which we now present to Thee, as an act of devotion to your servant, St Gemma Galgani, whose intercession we are now imploring.

Beloved Gem of Christ St Gemma, whose heart was all on fire for the love of God, teach us to love God with all our hearts, minds and souls, and fervently place God above all things, so “that where our treasure is, there also will our heart be.” (Matt 6:21)

Catholic Museums

There is a real need for Catholic Museums, not just in our local areas, but in the world.

The quintessential Catholic “family outing” is the Sunday Mass. And this is critical – the Eucharist is the source and summit of our Faith.

But outside of the Mass there are very few Catholic activities designed for, or that appeal to, the family. I think that there is more that needs to be done to spark an interest in the Faith.

If we can draw a parallel, I think we can compare the Faith Life to a fire. You need 3 things, fuel, oxygen and heat. The Mass (and all the Sacraments) are like the fuel. They keep our Faith alive by Divine Grace. But we also need good Catechesis / education – the Oxygen, and we also need personal desire or inspiration – the heat.

You can have a Catholic that is educated and well formed, and receives the Sacraments, yet has little motivation or inspiration… they do the bare minimum, and therefore they are a flickering flame. You can also have a person who is Inspired and has great desire, and receives all the Sacraments, but hasn’t been well informed. Those inspirations and desire are short lived without a proper education and understanding. And likewise you can be well informed and have inspiration, but if you aren’t living the Sacramental Life then something is amiss.

A Catholic Museum helps to add elements of the Education and Inspiration back into our community. Together with the Sacraments, this can be a recipe for a renewed Faith Life!

I pray that All Saints Museum contribute to this.
