Novena of St. Joseph (Day 4): Recollection of St. Joseph & his Union with God

About this sermon

Join us for Day 4 of the Novena to St. Joseph, reflecting on recollection and union with God, inspired by the hidden life of St. Joseph, the faithful spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary and guardian of the Holy Family. In this meditation we consider how silence, recollection, and prayer unite the soul with God, following the perfect model of the interior life found in St. Joseph. Through prayer and reflection we learn to know God, love Him, and serve Him so that we may one day be with Him in eternity. During this novena we also pray especially for: 🙏 Families and fathers 🙏 Priestly vocations 🙏 The restoration of the Church of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in Belfast 🙏 Strength and renewal for the Church in difficult times St. Joseph lived a hidden life entirely united to God. His example teaches us that the Kingdom of God is within you, and that the life of recollection prepares our souls for eternal union with God. May St. Joseph obtain for us the grace to grow in prayer, recollection, and holiness. 📿 Day 4 Prayer: Prayer to St. Joseph by St. Francis de Sales If you would like to support the restoration of the Church of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in Belfast, please consider donating: Thank you for your generosity. “Go to Joseph.” – Genesis 41:55 St. Joseph, perfect model of the interior life, pray for us. 00:00 Introduction 00:24 Intention of the Novena (Families, Fathers, Vocations) 00:40 Restoration of the Church in Belfast 00:48 Day 4 – Recollection of St. Joseph 00:57 The Hidden Life With God 01:19 The Joy of Loving God Alone 01:37 St. Joseph and Union With God 01:45 What Is Recollection and Prayer? 02:06 Learning Silence With God 02:23 Knowing God, Loving God, Serving God 02:39 Desire for Union With God 02:48 Recollection Unites Us With God 02:57 The Hidden Life of St. Joseph 03:04 Resolutions for the Spiritual Life 03:27 Prayer to St. Joseph (St. Francis de Sales) 04:17 Final Prayer 04:25 Support the Restoration of the Church To donate to the Church Restoration Project in Ireland please visit https://gofundme.com/restore-immaculate 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Support Catholic Businesses here - https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ Sensus Fidelium Press - https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ Sensus Fidelium Apps - https://sensusfidelium.tv/ Support Sensus Fidelium - https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Follow the Institute of Christ the King on...
