     Day 10 of Morning Light's on-air Consecration to St. Joseph, following the book by Fr. Donald Calloway.  Today, “Light of Patriarchs, Pray for Us.”  The word “patriarch” means father.  What all the patriarchs of the Old Testament foreshadowed, and all Christian fathers are called to reflect, is the paternal light of God shining through the fatherhood of St. Joseph.

Donald Calloway.  Today, “Noble Offspring of David.”  In the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, we learn that St. Joseph is of the lineage of the Davidic kings.  The Old Testament prophets always taught that the Messiah would come from the Davidic line.  They made a point of emphasizing that even though Jesus is not the biological son of Joseph, he is the Son of Joseph by law and has the legal right to be called a descendant of King David.

     The mission?  An integrated approach to the religious formation of children, teens, adults, and lay leaders.  And speaking of leaders, Morning Light talks with the Director of Religious Education and Catechetical Leadership for the Diocese of Boise, Jackie Hopper.

     It is Day 8 of Morning Light's on-air Consecration to St. Joseph, following the book by Fr.

Donald Calloway.  Today, “God the Holy Spirit, Have Mercy on Us.”  The Holy Spirit wants you to know and love St. Joseph.  With the exception of Our Lady’s life, the Holy Spirit was more active in the life of St. Joseph than in any other saint.  Joseph’s docility to the Holy Spirit made it possible for him to communicate with God even while her slept!

Donald Calloway.  Today, “God, the Father of Heaven, Have Mercy on Us.”  God the Father loved us SO much that he sent His only Son into the world - not only to save us...but to make us a child of God.  That’s why you were created - the very purpose for which you exist.  And there is only one way to the Father - Jesus Christ - as it says in John 14:6.
