The 3 Recorded Apparitions of Saint Joseph... And What He Said Each Time...

Father's day is June 21

While the Blessed Virgin Mary has appeared many times throughout Church history, approved apparitions involving St. Joseph are much more rare. Yet when he appears, the message is usually simple: stay close to Jesus, protect the family, and trust God even in difficult times.

One of the best-known approved apparitions connected to St. Joseph happened in Cotignac on June 7, 1660.

A young shepherd named Gaspard Ricard was exhausted and dying of thirst in the heat. A man appeared and said, “I am Joseph. Lift this rock and you will drink.” Gaspard obeyed and found water flowing from beneath a heavy rock that he could not have moved alone. The spring still exists today, and the Church recognizes the site as a place of pilgrimage and prayer.

Another famous approved apparition took place in Knock on August 21, 1879.

Fifteen people witnessed a silent vision beside the parish church during heavy rain. They saw Our Lady, St. Joseph, St. John the Evangelist, angels, and the Lamb of God upon an altar. St. Joseph stood quietly beside Mary with his head slightly bowed. No words were spoken. Many Catholics saw this as a sign of hope during a hard period of suffering in Ireland.

At Fátima on October 13, 1917, during the Miracle of the Sun witnessed by tens of thousands, Sister Lucia said St. Joseph appeared holding the Child Jesus beside Our Lady. She said he blessed the world by making the Sign of the Cross.

St. Teresa of Ávila had a deep devotion to St. Joseph and wrote: “I know by experience that the glorious St. Joseph helps us in all kinds of necessities.” For centuries, Catholics have turned to him as a protector of families, workers, fathers, and the Universal Church.

In a world that constantly praises noise, attention, and self-promotion, why do you think one of the greatest saints in Christianity is remembered most for silence, obedience, and hidden faithfulness?

St. Joseph, Protector of the Holy Family and Patron of the Universal Church, pray for us

“We want to transform the Middle East. Iran has been a driver of regional instability.

Now, we see a future where everybody can work together to promote peace and prosperity for everyone.”

Texas lost a good man this past week.

Trooper Sergio Romero with the Texas Highway Patrol was killed Wednesday afternoon near Childress while trying to pull a vehicle over on US 287. A semi truck pulled out in front of him during the stop. He died at the scene.

He was only 27 and had been with DPS for nine months after serving with the Hall County Sheriff’s Office. He left behind a wife and two young sons.

These troopers suit up every day knowing the job can turn on them in a second. They do it anyway. Pray for his family and for every officer still out there holding the line tonight.

Rest easy, Trooper Romero.
