Advice from St. Josemaría for the Sundays of St. Joseph

In a get-together, St Josemaría recommends a specific devotion for growing in love for our Lady: turning to St. Joseph.

Speaker: Father, what can I do to love our Lady more?

St. Josemaría: I think you’re already doing what you can. You have your devotions throughout the year.

I recommend observing the Seven Sundays of St. Joseph. Because St. Joseph has great influence with Holy Mary. He was her spouse; he is her spouse.

He is the person who knew our Lady the best and loved her the most, after her Son, God our Lord.

And he is the person who was closest God. Therefore, if you want to go to our Lady, go through St. Joseph: he will take you by the hand.

What are the donations used for?

The contributions for a beatification and canonization cause help to cover the costs involved in making the Servant of God, Blessed or Saint more widely known, the diocesan investigation, the Roman phase and, finally, the ceremony of beatification and canonization, in accordance with the norms approved by Pope Francis on 7 March 2016. When the ceremony of canonization has taken place, the donations are destined to the spreading of the message of the new saint.
