The Shrine of Saint Joseph Church of Miracles

Since 1864, this church has been the Church of Miracles. A German immigrant, Ignatius Strecker, was healed from terminal illness after he venerated a relic of Peter Claver. This miraculous healing led to the canonization of Peter Claver as a saint of the Catholic Church. Two years later there was another miracle at the church, and then another, and another. How many more miracles have taken place in connection with this church over the past 150 years, no one knows.

So Proud to be a Catholic. Rev Fr. Edward was a Holy man indeed! Thanks for the magnificent dedicated works of Friends of St.Joseph...Truly it was a God assigned task... St.Joseph and St. Peter Chavar pray for us during this challenging period...

St. Joseph please pray for us & the world to be a better place.

The Miracle was the resolve of the noble priest who firmly stayed on the shambles of the deteriorating church, and saved it from being sold, and preserving it for God. The 5 Angels who were perceptious enough to see the imagery of holy glory, beyond the crumbling walls, paint & plaster, were heaven-sent. In that commercial space of time, the costs in terms of time and commerce, of a church’s rehabilitation, would not have been considered even a remotely. It would be gracious if a parishioner from St Joseph’s told us their story. Because their dedication was surely a miracle after all !

Thank you to all who participated to restore this Magnificent Church. Like all the explanations about the statues, we Catholics we don't adore statues for my point of view it only a reminder about all what happened to the martyrs & the stories behind. Am very impressed & sad about what happened to them.

[@davidgutierrez294]

It is truly a church of miracles because St. Joseph was so close to Jesus from childbirth to manhood that God would grant anything to anyone who asks for his intercession

[@jessiejames7492]

i was from ST, JOSEPH'S CONVENT FOR 10 YEARS ...MY primary and secondary education. Every yr in march we would commemorate st. joseph's feast day

[@mortalclown3812]

It's difficult to imagine God has favorites, but He must love when people live holy lives. I just discovered St. Charbel, the Lebanese monk (1828-1898) who was even revered by Muslims because he prayed for everyone. Everyone. People of all religions even named their children after him, such was his kindness to all. St. Charbel is associated with over 25K miracles, too, but I keep thinking about how he believed were all equally dear in God's eyes. Blessings to all. And the peace that passes all understanding. Thanks for this beautiful video.

Sveti Roman, gorstak s Jura gorja, rodio se negdje oko 400. godine. Vec za rana pocela ga je pratiti misao o pustinjackom zivotu. Ona je postajala sve snaznija kad je cuo o zivotu egipatskih pustinjaka u Tebaidi. U njemu se rodila zelja da bi u sumama Jura gorja nacinio novu Tebaidu. Zelja je sigurno dolazila od Onoga koji je preko proroka Hosee rekao: "Stoga cu je, evo, primamiti, odvesti je u pustinju i njenu progovoriti srcu" (2,16). Taj se tekst izvorno odnosi na nevjernu zenu, u kojoj je predstavljen nevjerni narod izraelski, ali se dade lijepo u jednom punijem znacaju primijeniti na dusu, koju Bog zeli primamiti u pustinju, u samocu, da bi joj lakse i nesmetanije mogao govoriti od srca k srcu. Samo tako mozemo razumjeti, taj tako neodoljiv zov za samocom u zivotu mnogih svetaca. Sveti Roman se odazvao tom neodoljivom pozivu, te u divljem i osamljenom gorskom kraju, gdje su se spajale dvije bujice, zvanom Condadisco, kasnije Condat, osnovao samostan za pustinjake. Nakon nekog vremena ondje mu se pridruzio brat Lupicino i jos neki mladi, kojih je broj neprestano rastao. Buduci da je ovaj samostan postao premalen kako bi primio sve zainteresirane, otvorise takodjer i u Leuconneu te Romain-Moutieru. Glas o Romanovoj svetosti dopro je i do Hilarija, biskupa u Arlesu, koji ga za vrijeme pokrajinskog sabora u Besnaconu zaredi za svecenika. Od samostana koji nastadose, osnovan je cak i jedan zenski, kojemu je stajala na celu kao opatica njegova rodjena sestra. U njemu se obdrzavala najstroza klauzura. U uspomenama o svetom Romanu citamo, da je bio manje energican od svoga brata Lupicina, ali da je zato imponirao svojom smirenom dobrotom, darovima razlucivanja duhova i sirokogrudnoscu prema novacima pustinjackog zivota, koji su bili teska karaktera. Pripovijeda se kako je jednoga dana Lupicino, ustvrdivsi kako je zivot zajednice postao odvec mlak, svima nalozio postiti o kruhu i vodi. Neki to nisu podnijeli te su pobjegli, ali se Roman zaputio za njima moleci ih neka ostanu. Svetom Romanu pripisuje se i dar ozdravljenja bolesnika. Narocito se spominje ozdravljenje dvaju gubavaca kojima je vratio zdravlje, zagrlivsi ih. Za vrijeme jednog hodocasca sklonili su se njih dvojica u jednu kolibu u kojoj su inace obitavala dvojica gubavaca, koji su izasli prositi milostinju. Kada su se vratili, dvojica svetih monaha nisu nimalo oklijevala zagrliti ih i ostati u njihovom drustvu citavu noc. Sutradan su dvojica oboljelih, ustala potpuno zdrava, te su se uputila svima objaviti tu novost. U vremenima vjere Bog je uvijek svojim odabranicima davao razne karizme pa tako i moc ozdravljenja bolesnika. Sv. Romana stari zivotopisi nazivaju "Kristovim herojem". On je to i bio jer je svojim zivotom posve pripadao Bogu.

[@TheBinaryWolf]

FYI, Joseph does not have a church, neither does anyone else except Jesus if we are to believe God. The term comes from the Gk, ekklesia, lit. 'the called out ones'. The church is also not a building, though figuratively ii is made up of "living stones" (believers). The church is Jesus' bride, for whom He said He will return. He is not going to wed a brick building, especially one with blasphemous statues that violate the commandment against graven images. But I think these truth will only stir up the demon-influenced...if not the demon possessed.

[@chicky-ek9gq]

GOD says , Thou shall Not have idols before him . This I find being wrong , It's straight out disobeying GOD Like praying to a piece of stone catholics call Mary , No one knows what she looks like further more , They Don't TRUST in JESUS CHRIST , If one Truly Believes Jesus Christ or Yeshua Son of GOD , came into this world , Then believe that he hears your Prays , The Son of GOD would not lie to us , Only Popes Priests Minsters etc Lie to us , Jesus told Thomas you believe because you see me , Blessed are those who do not see me , And believe in me
