- In the First Meditation, we will reflect on how the Church’s liturgy presents St. Joseph and the lessons contained there.
- In the Second Meditation, we will look at the artistic tradition surrounding St. Joseph, reflecting on the wisdom of its beauty and symbolism.
- And in the Conference, we will delve into the spiritual discipline of silence—something present in St. Joseph’s example and too often absent in our own pursuit of deeper friendship with Christ.
This may seem a strange topic for a Lenten Retreat Guide, but reflecting on St. Joseph will bring us back to the spiritual fundamentals – and getting back to spiritual basics is a great way to live Lent. Let’s begin by quieting our hearts and turning our attention to God, who never stops paying attention to us. Let’s ask him for all the graces we need, and most especially, for the grace of interior renewal through the example and intercession of St. Joseph, the faithful and prudent steward.
We are excited to share with you an improved version of the PDF for this Retreat Guide. It is now available for purchase as a booklet on Amazon. It includes the meditations, conference, and reflection questions by Fr. Bartunek along with space for taking notes and journaling. We hope it helps to further open your heart to Christ this Lent.
