This past week, the Vatican announced that the
It is a great joy and honor for me and
Custodian of the Redeemer, St. Joseph, will all priests to regularly mention the name of
henceforth also be named in the principal this great and holy man while celebrating
Eucharist Prayers of the Mass. Here is the text Mass. May all of the religious, lay faithful
of the decree put out by the Vatican which and clergy of the Catholic Church faithfully
announces the change:
imitate his virtues!
ST. JOSEPH ADDED TO PRINCIPAL
EUCHARISTIC PRAYERS
“Exercising his paternal care over Jesus, Saint
Joseph of Nazareth, set over the Lord’s family,
marvelously fulfilled the office he received by
grace. Adhering firmly to the mystery of God’s
design of salvation in its very beginnings, he
stands as an exemplary model of the kindness
and humility that the Christian faith raises to a
great destiny, and demonstrates the ordinary
and simple virtues necessary for men to be
good and genuine followers of Christ. Through
these virtues, this Just man, caring most
lovingly for the Mother of God and happily
dedicating himself to the upbringing of Jesus
Christ, was placed as guardian over God the
Father’s most precious treasures. Therefore he
has been the subject of assiduous devotion on
the part of the People of God throughout the
centuries, as the support of that mystical body,
which is the Church. The faithful in the
Catholic Church have shown continuous
devotion to Saint Joseph and have solemnly
and constantly honored his memory as the
most chaste spouse of the Mother of God and
as the heavenly Patron of the universal
Church...Accordingly, mature consideration
having been given to all the matters mentioned
here above, this Congregation for Divine
Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments,
In the love of Christ,
Father Scott D. Brockson
AHORA, EL NOMBRE DE SAN JOSE
DEBE SER MENCIONADA EN CASI
TODAS LAS MISAS
El Vaticano anunció que en las plegarias
eucaristicas principales de la misa desde ahora
y en adelante el celebrante debe mencionar el
nombre de San José, después de dar honor a
Santa María. Como respuesta de muchas
peticiones al Vaticano de parte de muchos
católicos, la decisión fue hecha por el Papa
Benedicto XVI y confirmada por el Papa
Francesco. Es una gran alegría para todos los
sacerdotes, religiosas y religiosos, y todos los
fieles de la Iglesia Católica. Después de la
Virgen María, no hay santo más importante
que San José, quien fue designado Custodio
de la Sagrada Familia por decreto del Padre
Celestial. Es también Patrón de la Iglesia
Universal por decreto de los papas.
Con cariño en Cristo Jesús,
Padre Scott D. Brockson
