Fourth Day of Novena to Saint Joseph- Feast of Saint Antoninus

Great Saint Joseph was the Illustrious Son of David, Light of the Patriarchs, Spouse of the Mother of God, Chaste Guardian of the Virgin Mary and the Foster-father of the Son of God.  He listened to the voice of God in his dreams.  So close was he to God that he knew that it was the Lord talking him in his dreams.  One has to have a relationship to the Divine to know when to act on a dream.

Saint Joseph, pray for us.

 

Saint Antoninus was a public executioner before he was converted.  He came to faith in Jesus Christ because of a vision he had while he was attending the martyrdom of Saint Eusebius.  He immediately proclaimed his faith in Jesus Christ and was himself martyred!  In this way, he was similar to Saint Genesius, patron of actors, who was converted on stage while mocking the Catholic sacraments.  He, too was martyred immediately.

Saint Antoninus, pray for us!1476
