We wish you a joyous Feast of St. Joseph! And we invite you to reflect on these beautiful words of Pope Francis, from his Apostolic Letter, Patris Corde: "Each of us can discover in Joseph – the man who goes unnoticed, a daily, discreet and hidden presence – an intercessor, a support and a guide in times of trouble. Saint Joseph reminds us that those who appear hidden or in the shadows can play an incomparable role in the history of salvation. A word of recognition and of gratitude is due to them all." #stjoseph #stjosephday #feastofstjoseph #stjosephtheworker #holyfamily #theholyfamily #feastday #celebrate #celebration #sistersofstjoseph #sistersofstjosephoforange #familyofjoseph #spiritual #spirituality #spiritualdevelopment #centerforspiritualdevelopment

Think about these few verses from today's Gospel reading, and the beautiful faith and trust in Jesus that the leper expresses. Do you have this much trust in God? How can you live out that trust and faith this week? A leper came to Jesus and kneeling down begged him and said, “If you wish, you can make me clean.” Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand, touched him, and said to him, “I do will it. Be made clean.” #gospel #gospelreading #gospelofmark #leper #leprosy #faithoftheleper #makemeclean #faith #trust #havefaith #trustingod #ingodwetrust #spiritual #spirituality #spiritualdevelopment #centerforspiritualdevelopment #sistersofstjoseph #sistersofstjosephoforange "Be Thou Made Clean" by Lawrence OP is licensed under CC BY-NC-ND 2.0.

A beautiful message from Martin Luther King on the day we commemorate his life and work. It continues: "Man cannot save himself, for man is not the measure of all things and humanity is not God. Bound by the chains of his own sin and finiteness, man needs a Savior.” #mlk #mlkday #martinlutherking #ihaveadream #martinlutherkingday #peace #love #understanding #christian #christianity #christianfaith #spiritual #spirituality #spiritualdevelopment #centerforspiritualdevelopment #sistersofstjoseph #sistersofstjosephoforange #lovethyneighbor

'Can you imagine what Jesus must have been feeling when he heard his Father say, “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased”? Picture yourself hearing these same words as God created each of us and loves us throughout our lives. Allow these words to settle over you: “You are my beloved creation; with you I am well pleased.”' Read the rest of Sister Jayne Helmlinger's reflection for today, the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord: https://www.thecsd.org/dailyreflections #baptismofthelord #feastofthebaptismofthelord #christmasseason #ordinarytime #feastday #celebrate #celebration #baptism #baptize #baptized #johnthebaptist #spiritual #spirituality #spiritualdevelopment #centerforspiritualdevelopment #sistersofstjoseph #sistersofstjosephoforange
The Magi took a huge risk in following the star to Bethlehem, but they trusted that God was leading them to something far greater than they could know. On this Feast of the Epiphany, let us ask ourselves: how do we live out our trust in God? How do we follow God's call, or keep our eyes open for the star God intends us to follow? #epiphany #threekings #threekingsday #feastoftheepiphany #wethreekings #christmasseason #feast #celebrate #celebration #spiritual #spirituality #spiritualdevelopment #centerforspiritualdevelopment #sistersofstjoseph #sistersofstjosephoforange

Today is Christmas Eve -- the perfect time to reflect on Mary's and Joseph's faith and fortitude. "In those days, a decree was issued by Caesar Augustus that a census should be taken throughout the entire world. … Everyone traveled to his own town to be enrolled. 4 Joseph therefore went from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to the city of David called Bethlehem …. He went to be registered together with Mary, his betrothed, who was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for her to have her child, and she gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn."
