that this world is just a ship taking me across the sea of life,
May I always remember,
that this world is just a ship taking me across the sea of life,
on a journey towards You.
Let me be thankful when we sail gentle seas.
When we sail turbulent seas let my heart not be anxious or troubled.
Lord have mercy on your weary traveler.
I pray for your grace and wisdom to sustain me on this this quick trip.
Let me be humble, charitable and joyful on the journey to heaven.
Amen

Saint of the Week
Saint Joseph, husband of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Solemnity – Mar 19
c. ? - ?
The Bible pays Joseph the highest compliment: he was a “just” man. The quality meant a lot more than faithfulness in paying debts.
When the Bible speaks of God “justifying” someone, it means that God, the all-holy or “righteous” one, so transforms a person that the individual shares somehow in God’s own holiness, and hence it is really “right” for God to love him or her. In other words, God is not playing games, acting as if we were lovable when we are not.
By saying Joseph was “just,” the Bible means that he was one who was completely open to all that God wanted to do for him. He became holy by opening himself totally to God.
The rest we can easily surmise. Think of the kind of love with which he wooed and won Mary, and the depth of the love they shared during their marriage.
It is no contradiction of Joseph’s manly holiness that he decided to divorce Mary when she was found to be with child. The important words of the Bible are that he planned to do this “quietly” because he was “a righteous man, yet unwilling to expose her to shame” (Matthew 1:19).
The just man was simply, joyfully, wholeheartedly obedient to God—in marrying Mary, in naming Jesus, in shepherding the precious pair to Egypt, in bringing them to Nazareth, in the undetermined number of years of quiet faith and courage.

It’s not hard to see why some people might see something akin to magic in the Church’s sacraments and sacramentals. Of course they aren’t magic, but even sincere Catholics succumb to a kind of “magical thinking” at times: Will saying these words make my sins disappear? Does wearing a special talisman save me from damnation? Will an inverted St. Joseph sell my house? Fr. Dwight Longenecker makes common misunderstandings vanish.
