25 Years of Catholic Radio Broadcasting
MAY, 2012
WHAT'S HAPPENING
St. Joseph Radio is a non-profit, lay apostolate, dedicated to proclaiming the Catholic faith through worldwide radio broadcasting, video programming, and other various means of evangelization. We are of service to the Church - presenting the Catholic standpoint and Church history to an audience largely unaware of the true teachings of the Catholic faith; inspiring many to return to the practice of their faith; and fostering others to embrace Catholicism through conversion.
St. Joseph Radio adheres to and proclaims the teachings and traditions of the Catholic Church, in union with our Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI, and the Magisterium of the Church.
Please join us in proclaiming the Gospel to all, and supporting each individual's journey to Christ!

THE CATHOLIC VOTE 2012
Pro LIFE!
CATHOLIC SOCIAL JUSTICE
According to the United States Catholic Bishops’ comprehensive statement, Living the Gospel of Life (1998), Catholics are “to embrace their citizenship not merely as a duty and privilege, but as an opportunity meaningfully to participate in building the culture of life.
Based on Church teachings, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Encyclicals of the Pope, and issue papers from the Office of the Doctrine of the Faith, the following five issues concern actions that are intrinsically evil and must never be promoted by the law. Intrinsically evil actions are those that fundamentally conflict with the moral law and can never be performed under any circumstances. It is a serious sin to deliberately endorse or promote any of these actions, and no person who rea1ly wants to advance the common good will support any action contrary to the non-negotiable principles involved in these issues. The five issues are: Abortion; Euthanasia; Embryonic Stem Cell Research; Human Cloning; and Homosexual "Marriage."
The decisions we make as citizens about who leads us and what policies are enacted have important moral and ethical dimensions. The values of our faith should be our guide to public life.

Human life is sacred because from its beginning it involves the creative action of God and it remains for ever in a special relationship with the Creator, who is its sole end. God alone is the Lord of life from its beginning until its end: no one can under any circumstance claim for himself the right directly to destroy an innocent human being. CCC 2258
As Catholics, we are always held to defend human life. The Church teaches that human life should be protected at every stage of development, and at every age. Human life is a gift from God. We are stewards of this gift, not owners. It is our responsibility to nurture it, respect it, and protect it. Human life has value regardless of its nature or quality. Life has special dignity and worth. The Church states that no one has the right to terminate the life of another person at any stage or circumstance of life.
We must restore the value and worth of all human life from conception to natural death, as it relates in particular to abortion, euthenasia, assisted suicide, and stem cell research. We -- all human beings -- were designed for eternal life.

As Americans, we are blessed with religious liberty which safeguards our right to bring our principles and moral convictions into the public arena. The Church’s social teaching is a rich treasure of wisdom about building a just society and living lives of holiness amidst the challenges of modern society. Modern Catholic social teaching has been articulated through a tradition of papal, conciliar, and episcopal documents, and it is a central and essential element of our faith.
Our commitment to the Catholic social mission must be rooted in and strengthened by our spiritual lives. We must all share a unifying commitment: to restore community and uphold the common good in America and across the globe. At this critical juncture, when our actions or inaction will have profound and permanent global consequences, our faith demands nothing less.
The Church’s obligation to participate in shaping the moral character of society is a requirement of our faith. It is a basic part of the mission we have received from Jesus Christ, who offers a vision of life revealed to us in Sacred Scripture and Tradition.

Prayer Intentions of Our Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI GENERAL INTENTION: The Family.
That initiatives which defend and uphold the role of the family may be promoted within society.
MISSIONARY INTENTION: Mary, Guide of Missionaries.
That Mary, Queen of the World and Star of Evangelization, may accompany all missionaries in proclaiming her Son Jesus.
The link between Mary and the month of May became popular among the members of the Jesuit Order — by 1700 it had a firm hold among their students at the Roman College and a short time later it was publicly celebrated in the Gesu Church in Rome. From there it spread to the rest of the Church.
The pious practice of honoring Mary during the month of May has been especially promoted by the Popes. Devotion to Mary is one an important part of the Catholic identity. As our mother she is an example of a committed “Yes” to the will of God. Because of the devotion to her many people ask her for help in the most difficult moments of their life as any child does with his mother.
SAINT JOSEPH THE WORKERWe can conclude from the role for which Saint Joseph was chosen and named by Heaven that he was a man of tried virtue and consummate holiness. No other mortal man would ever hold a higher office. Saint Joseph surpassed all the Saints of the Old Law in sanctity; in him the virtue of his ancestors reached its culmination and perfection. Like Abraham, he was a man of faith and obedience; like Isaac, one of prayer and vision; like Jacob, he was patient and self-sacrificing; like Joseph of Egypt, his chastity was inviolable. And like David, of whom he is the direct descendant, he is a royal intercessor according to the heart of God. Ite ad Joseph — Go to Joseph; to Joseph of Egypt, the pharaoh told the needy to go for assistance to receive the grain that would save their lives. To the new Joseph, the just man to whom the Son of God Himself was subject as to a father, all Christians can go with confidence, and he will see to their spiritual and temporal needs with paternal goodness.
A TIME FOR RENEWAL OF FAITH & CONVERSION
Pope Benedict XVI has proclaimed a Year of Faith, beginning October 11, 2012, the 50th anniversary of the opening of the Second Ecumenical Vatican Council, and concluding November 24, 2013, the Solemnity of our Lord Jesus Christ, Universal King.
"We are facing a profound crisis of faith, a loss of a religious sense, which represents one of the greatest challenges for the Church today.”
The Year of Faith, is dedicated “to restoring God's presence in this world, and to giving man access to the faith, enabling him to entrust himself to the God who, in Jesus Christ, loved us to the end.”
It is the mission of the entire Church to bring man out of the desert where he often finds himself, towards life and towards friendship with Christ who gives us this life in all its variety."
“The renewal of faith,” “must, then, be a priority for the entire Church in our time."
Archbishop Carlson Challenges HHS Mandate at Rally
"We are here to let the government know that we will render unto Caesar what belongs to Caesar, but we will NOT render unto Caesar what belongs to God!"
"Let’s be clear what’s at stake here: we are being asked to say that we hold the faith, but to deny it in practice. That’s hypocrisy, and we cannot accept it."
