“The extraordinary graces obtained by the prayer are innumerable. In fact, St. Theresa of the Child Jesus said, " If you really want to believe in it, prove it to yourself by reciting the Novena and you will be finally convinced." This novena in honor of Saint Joseph's is called the Holy Cloak of St. Joseph, a particular and special way to merit the patronage of this great Saint while also rendering honor to him. It is to be recited on thirty consecutive days in Honor of the thirty years St. Joseph spent in the company of Jesus Christ, Son of God. It is natural and worthy that as the Blessed Joseph ministered to all the needs of the family at Nazareth and girt it about with his protection, he should now cover with the cloak of his heavenly patronage, and defend, the Church of Jesus Christ. - Pope Leo XIII, Quamquam Pluries In the name of the + Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I give Thee my heart and my soul. (Recite the...

Saint John, whose national origin remains unknown, was called Climacus because of a treatise he wrote called The Ladder (Climax) of Paradise. He made such progress in learning as a disciple of Saint Gregory Nazianzen that while still young, he was called the Scholastic. At the age of sixteen he turned from the brilliant future which lay before him, and retired to Mount Sinai, where he was placed under the direction of a holy monk named Martyrius. Once that religious journeyed to Antioch and took the young John with him; they visited Saint Anastasius, a future Patriarch of Antioch, and the Saint asked Martyrius who it was who had given the habit to this novice? Hearing that it was Martyrius himself, he replied, And who would have said that you gave the habit to an Abbot of Mount Sinai? Another religious, a solitary, made the same prediction on a similar visit, and washed the feet of the one who would some day be Abbot of Mount Sinai. Never was there a novice more fervent, more unrele...

Is Christ God? Does the Bible justify His divinity? Is Christ just a "Son of God" but as to it not a "God the Son"? Let us look at some of the verses in the Bible that provides evidences on the divine nature of our Lord as a TRUE GOD. First, from the prophecies of the Old Testament Prophets, Christ was already declared on His Godly divinity. "Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, His name shall be called Emmanuel (i.e., God with us)" (Is. 7, 14 [Douai]); "For a child has been born for us, a son given to us; authority rests upon his shoulders; and he is named Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace" (Is. 9, 6); These verses clearly speaks of a child to be born by a virgin, and deny it or not, we know that the Bible tells us that the VIRGIN who GAVE BIRTH to CHILD was no other than the BLESSED VIRGIN MARY and the child was JESUS Himself (see the gospels). A virgin shall bear a child and that c...
