Dedication to Jesus through St. Joseph prayer and study
Our adventure, during this year dedicated to St. Joseph,  will consist of the following:
33 days of individual prayer and study using a book with 33 days of exercises and inspirational readings to prepare us to consecrate ourselves to Jesus through the intercession of St. Joseph.  

On July 19th we will distribute the books and answer your questions.

We will begin our individual and prayerful study on July 20th

We will meet weekly to share our insights and experiences on Wednesday evenings at 8:00,  This will allow us to benefit from the thoughts and insights of each other.   These evenings will be guided by Fr. Ray and Deacon Ken.  The first group meeting will be on July 28th,

The consecration will take place at the 4:00 Mass on August 21st, the feast of our lady of Knock.  You can google this feast day to gain a better appreciation of the significance of this date.  At this apparition,  Joseph appeared with Mary, with St. John and the Lamb of God on the altar.

Pray a Scriptural Rosary

A Scriptural Rosary on YouTube with Bishop Barron

Offer a spiritual communion:

Spiritual Communion:
My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there, and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.

Please contact Fr. Ray to schedule a First Friday visit at 440.888.8220 or PadRay@stmatthiaschurch.org
