Novena in Honor of Saint Joseph Novena en honor a San José Readings March 10 “Here I would add one more thing: caring, protecting, demands goodness, it calls for a certain tenderness. In the Gospels, Saint Joseph appears as a strong and courageous man, a working man, yet in his heart we see great tenderness, which is not the virtue of the weak but rather a sign of strength of spirit and a capacity for concern, for compassion, for genuine openness to others, for love. We must not be afraid of goodness, of tenderness!” (Pope Francis, March 19, 2013) March 11 Saint Paul VI pointed out that Joseph concretely expressed his fatherhood “by making his life a sacrificial service to the mystery of the incarnation and its redemptive purpose. He employed his legal authority over the Holy Family to devote himself completely to them in his life and work. He turned his human vocation to domestic love into a superhuman oblation of himself, his heart and all his abilities, a love placed at the service of the Messiah who was growing to maturity in his home” (Paul VI, 1966). March 12 “Joseph saw Jesus grow daily ‘in wisdom and in years and in divine and human favor’ (Lk 2:52). As the Lord had done with Israel, so Joseph did with Jesus: he taught him to walk, taking him by the hand; he was for him like a father who raises an infant to his cheeks, bending down to him and feeding him (cf. Hos 11:3-4)” (Pope Francis, Patris Corde, 2020). March 13 “At the end of every account in which Joseph plays a role, the Gospel tells us that he gets up, takes the child and his mother, and does what God commanded him (cf. Mt 1:24; 2:14.21)” (Pope Francis, Patris Corde, 2020). “ Behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, ‘Rise, take the child and his mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you. Herod is going to search for the child to destroy him.’ Joseph rose and took the child and his mother by night and departed for Egypt. He stayed there until the death of Herod, that what the Lord PAGE 3 OF 9
Novena in Honor of Saint Joseph Novena en honor a San José had said through the prophet might be fulfilled, ‘Out of Egypt I called my son’” (Mt 2: 13-15). March 14 “Often in life, things happen whose meaning we do not understand. Just as God told Joseph: ‘Son of David, do not be afraid!’ (Mt 1:20), so he seems to tell us: ‘Do not be afraid!’ We need to set aside all anger and disappointment, and to embrace the way things are, even when they do not turn out as we wish. Not with mere resignation but with hope and courage. In this way, we become open to a deeper meaning. Our lives can be miraculously reborn if we find the courage to live them in accordance with the Gospel. It does not matter if everything seems to have gone wrong or some things can no longer be fixed. God can make flowers spring up from stony ground. Even if our heart condemns us, ‘God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything’ (1 Jn 3:20)” (Pope Francis, Patris Corde, 2020). March 15 “As we read the infancy narratives, we may often wonder why God did not act in a more direct and clear way. Yet God acts through events and people. Joseph was the man chosen by God to guide the beginnings of the history of redemption. He was the true ‘miracle’ by which God saves the child and his mother. God acted by trusting in Joseph’s creative courage. Arriving in Bethlehem and finding no lodging where Mary could give birth, Joseph took a stable and, as best he could, turned it into a welcoming home for the Son of God come into the world (cf. Lk 2:67)” (Pope Francis, Patris Corde, 2020). March 16 “Saint Joseph was a carpenter who earned an honest living to provide for his family. From him, Jesus learned the value, the dignity and the joy of what it means to eat bread that is the fruit of one’s own labor" (Pope Francis, Patris Corde, 2020). We know from Scripture that Jesus was obedient to his parents, and "advanced [in] wisdom and age and favor before God and man (Lk 2:41-51)”. March 17 “Every child is the bearer of a unique mystery that can only be brought to light with the help of a father who respects that child’s freedom. A father who realizes that he is most a father and educator at the point when he becomes PAGE 4 OF 9
Novena in Honor of Saint Joseph Novena en honor a San José ‘useless,’ when he sees that his child has become independent and can walk the paths of life unaccompanied. When he becomes like Joseph, who always knew that his child was not his own but had merely been entrusted to his care. In the end, this is what Jesus would have us understand when he says: ‘Call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven’ (Mt 23:9)” (Pope Francis, Patris Corde, 2020). March 18 “The aim of this Apostolic Letter is to increase our love for this great saint, to encourage us to implore his intercession and to imitate his virtues and his zeal. Indeed, the proper mission of the saints is not only to obtain miracles and graces, but to intercede for us before God, like Abraham and Moses, and like Jesus, the ‘one mediator’ (1 Tim 2:5), who is our ‘advocate’ with the Father (1 Jn 2:1) and who ‘always lives to make intercession for [us]’ (Heb 7:25; cf. Rom 8:34). The saints help all the faithful ‘to strive for the holiness and the perfection of their particular state of life.’ Their lives are concrete proof that it is possible to put the Gospel into practice. Jesus told us: ‘Learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart’ (Mt 11:29). The lives of the saints too are examples to be imitated. Saint Paul explicitly says this: ‘Be imitators of me!’ (1 Cor 4:16). By his eloquent silence, Saint Joseph says the same” (Pope Francis, Patris Corde, 2020). PAGE 5 OF 9

Novena in Honor of Saint Joseph Novena en honor a San José Lecturas 10 de marzo “Y aquí añado entonces una ulterior anotación: el preocuparse, el custodiar, requiere bondad, pide ser vivido con ternura. En los Evangelios, san José aparece como un 12 de marzo “José vio a Jesús progresar día tras día ‘en sabiduría, en estatura y en gracia ante Dios y los hombres’ (Lc 2,52). Como hizo el Señor con Israel, así él ‘le enseñó a caminar, y lo hombre fuerte y valiente, trabajador, pero en su alma se percibe una gran ternura, que no es la virtud de los débiles, sino más bien todo lo contrario: denota fortaleza de ánimo y capacidad de atención, de compasión, de verdadera apertura al otro, de amor. No debemos tener miedo de la bondad, de la ternura” Papa Francisco, 19 de marzo de 2013). tomaba en sus brazos: era para él como el padre que alza a un niño hasta sus mejillas, y se inclina hacia él para darle de comer’ (cf. Os 11,3-4)” (Papa Francisco, Patris Corde, 2020). 11 de marzo San Pablo VI observa que su paternidad se manifestó concretamente “al haber hecho de su vida un servicio, un sacrificio al misterio de la Encarnación y a la misión redentora que le está unida; al haber utilizado la autoridad legal, que le correspondía en la Sagrada Familia, para hacer de ella un don total de sí mismo, de su vida, de su trabajo; al haber convertido su vocación humana de amor doméstico en la oblación sobrehumana de sí mismo, de su corazón y de toda capacidad en el amor puesto al servicio del Mesías nacido en su casa” (Pablo VI, 1966). 13 de marzo “Al final de cada relato en el que José es el protagonista, el Evangelio señala que él se levantó, tomó al Niño y a su madre e hizo lo que Dios le había mandado (cf. Mt 1,24; 2,14.21)” (Papa Francisco, Patris Corde, 2020). “ el Ángel del Señor se apareció en sueños a José y le dijo: ‘Levántate, toma al niño y a su madre, huye a Egipto y permanece allí hasta que yo te avise, porque Herodes va a buscar al niño para matarlo’. José se levantó, tomó de noche al niño y a su madre, y se fue a Egipto. Allí permaneció hasta la muerte de Herodes, para que se cumpliera lo que el Señor había anunciado por medio del Profeta: ‘Desde Egipto llamé a mi hijo’” (Mt 2,13-15). PAGE 7 OF 9
Novena in Honor of Saint Joseph Novena en honor a San José 14 de marzo “Como Dios dijo a nuestro santo: ‘José, hijo de David, no temas’ (Mt 1,20), parece repetirnos también a nosotros: ‘¡No tengan miedo!’. Tenemos que dejar de lado nuestra ira y decepción, y hacer espacio —sin ninguna resignación mundana y con una fortaleza llena de esperanza— a lo que no hemos elegido, pero está allí. Acoger la vida de esta manera nos introduce en un significado oculto. La vida de cada uno de nosotros puede comenzar de nuevo milagrosamente, si encontramos la valentía para vivirla según lo que nos dice el Evangelio. Y no importa si ahora todo parece haber tomado un rumbo equivocado y si algunas cuestiones son irreversibles. Dios puede hacer que las flores broten entre las rocas. Aun cuando nuestra conciencia nos reprocha algo, Él ‘es más grande que nuestra conciencia y lo sabe todo’ (1 Jn 3,20)” (Papa Francisco, Patris Corde, 2020). intervino confiando en la valentía creadora de este hombre, que cuando llegó a Belén y no encontró un lugar donde María pudiera dar a luz, se instaló en un establo y lo arregló hasta convertirlo en un lugar lo más acogedor posible para el Hijo de Dios que venía al mundo (cf. Lc 2,6-7)” (Papa Francisco, Patris Corde, 2020). 16 de marzo “San José era un carpintero que trabajaba honestamente para asegurar el sustento de su familia. De él, Jesús aprendió el valor, la dignidad y la alegría de lo que significa comer el pan que es fruto del propio trabajo” (Papa Francisco, Patris Corde, 2020). Sabemos de las Escrituras que Jesús fue obediente a sus padres e “iba creciendo en sabiduría, en estatura y en gracia, delante de Dios y de los hombres” (Lc 2,52). 15 de marzo 17 de marzo “Cada niño lleva siempre consigo un misterio, algo inédito que sólo puede ser revelado con “Muchas veces, leyendo los ‘Evangelios de la infancia’, nos preguntamos por qué Dios no intervino directa y claramente. Pero Dios actúa a través de eventos y personas. José era el hombre por medio del cual Dios se ocupó de los comienzos de la historia de la redención. Él era el verdadero ‘milagro’ con el que Dios salvó al Niño y a su madre. El cielo la ayuda de un padre que respete su libertad. Un padre que es consciente de que completa su acción educativa y de que vive plenamente su paternidad sólo cuando se ha hecho ‘inútil’, cuando ve que el hijo ha logrado ser autónomo y camina solo por los senderos de la vida, cuando se pone en la situación de José, que siempre supo que el PAGE 8 OF 9
Novena in Honor of Saint Joseph Novena en honor a San José Niño no era suyo, sino que simplemente había sido confiado a su cuidado. Después de todo, eso es lo que Jesús sugiere cuando dice: ‘No llamen “padre” a ninguno de ustedes en la tierra, pues uno solo es su Padre, el del cielo’ (Mt 23,9)” (Papa Francisco, Patris Corde, 2020). 18 de marzo “El objetivo de esta Carta apostólica es que crezca el amor a este gran santo, para ser impulsados a implorar su intercesión e imitar sus virtudes, como también su resolución. En efecto, la misión específica de los santos no es sólo la de conceder milagros y gracias, sino la de interceder por nosotros ante Dios, como hicieron Abrahán y Moisés, como hace Jesús, ‘único mediador’ (1 Tm 2,5), que es nuestro ‘abogado’ ante Dios Padre (1 Jn 2,1), ‘ya que vive eternamente para interceder por nosotros’ (Hb 7,25; cf. Rm 8,34). Los santos ayudan a todos los fieles ‘a la plenitud de la vida cristiana y a la perfección de la caridad’. Su vida es una prueba concreta de que es posible vivir el Evangelio. Jesús dijo: ‘Aprendan de mí, que soy manso y humilde de corazón’ (Mt 11,29), y ellos a su vez son ejemplos de vida a imitar. San Pablo exhortó explícitamente: ‘Vivan como imitadores míos’ (1 Co 4,16). San José lo dijo a través de su elocuente silencio” (Papa Francisco, Patris Corde, 2020). PAGE 9 OF 9
