Deepertruth: St. Joseph taught the Word of God to the Word of God

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came to be through him, and without him nothing came to be."

Jesus took his complete DNA from His Mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary at the moment of the Incarnation. Mary conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit (Luke 1:35) and all the Eucharistic Miracles attest to this actual happening scientifically.

As Jesus did receive His DNA from His Mother, Jesus received his instruction by St. Joseph. Jesus received from Joseph the trade of being a carpenter, a hard worker. This would certainly be a part of Jesus teaching to His Apostles and us.

St. Joseph as head of the Holy Family, the responsibility laid upon him from God cannot be overestimated. Pope Leo XIII states, "In St. Joseph, heads of the household are blessed with the unsurpassed model of Fatherly watchfulness and care."

What a great example and role model Fathers today have in St. Joseph. The importance of Fathers in the family is critical especially now because of the attack on the family. We need that leadership and St. Joseph delivers that in the most powerful way.

St. Sabastion was shot with arrows and left for dead, but when the widow of St. Castulus went to recover his body, she found he was still alive and nursed him back to health.

It was during a major procession that St. Sebastian intercepted the Emperor and denounced him for his cruelty to Christians.

At first the Emperor was taken back thinking St. Sebastian was a ghost, but once he regained his composure, he ordered St. Sebastian to be beaten with clubs.

Today, St. Sebastian is remembered as the Patron Saint of Athletes whose Feast Day is January 20 and as a result, had a great impact on me. St Sabastion,Pray for us
