Our Lenten journey at times can go something like this: You start out Ash Wednesday as a proverbial house on spiritual fire, with detailed plans and resolutions. Then about midway through the 40 days, you might hit a wall or find that some goals have not yet materialized as hoped. It can be dispiriting. Then you recover and realize the promise of this season of prayer, fasting and almsgiving, in time for Easter.

During this year, we have the opportunity to reflect on St. Joseph’s humility, courageous faith, and guardianship of Mary and Jesus. His role in salvation history is tremendous and it is important we observe this year with reverence.
The goal of our temporal life on earth is eternal life in heaven after death. For as Jesus said, “What profit is there for one to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?” (Mk 8:36).
