The month of March, traditionally dedicated to St. Joseph, has even greater significance this year, as we remember that we journey through a whole year dedicated to this holy and chaste foster father of Jesus.

As we approach Ash Wednesday, we ask for the intercession of our Lady to help us ponder with her the mysteries of her Son's sacred Passion, Death, and Resurrection.

As we celebrate the feast of Christ's Presentation in the Temple on February 2, we also celebrate the World Day for Consecrated Life.

The sacredness of life and the dignity that has been bestowed upon each of our lives provides a solid foundation, especially at a time when the ground beneath us is shifting and quaking.

There is great reason to rejoice! The light is coming, a light greater than any darkness and stronger than any sorrow.
