| 0:00.0 | My talk is on St. Joseph in the Eucharist, St. Joseph as the protector of the Eucharist. |
| 0:07.2 | It's an interesting title, right? |
| 0:09.4 | Because we don't often make the connection between St. Joseph and the Eucharist. |
| 0:14.6 | Because in the New Testament, it's like, yeah, Father Callow, you're really going to have to stretch that one, buddy, because he died at some point before Jesus even began his public ministry. |
| 0:25.7 | So St. Joseph was not present when Jesus was going around for three years with his disciples in the Holy Land, preaching, teaching, healing, all of that. |
| 0:34.5 | And he wasn't present at Holy Thursday, St. Joseph. He wasn't present at Good Friday, Holy Saturday, the resurrection, none of that. And he wasn't present at Holy Thursday, St. Joseph. He wasn't present at Good Friday, |
| 0:39.7 | Holy Saturday, the resurrection, none of that. So how am I going to work this one? How am I going to |
| 0:45.2 | squeeze St. Joseph into this? Well, it's actually quite easy. Because if you think about it, |
| 0:51.4 | without St. Joseph, we would not have the Eucharist. That's how essential he is to this. Because for 2,000 years now, we've known this essential truth about our lady for sure. And our lady is much greater than St. Joseph. Of course, he'd be the first one to tell us that, right? Pay attention to my wife. That's what St. Joseph would say. Not me. I'm just here to do the chores and do the work. I'm going to get them to the hill |
| 1:15.0 | till they can save the world. So, but without him, he wasn't physically required for the |
| 1:22.1 | incarnation. St. Joseph is not the biological father of Jesus, but he is his true father, just like I'm adopted, |
| 1:30.0 | right? And I call my dad. I don't call my dad Don, you know. I'm sure that Jesus didn't, |
| 1:35.0 | you know, say Joseph, you know, no, he would have called him Abba, daddy, father. He was his real |
| 1:40.5 | father. And his role was really required, was necessary. |
| 1:46.0 | Our lady was necessary physically. |
| 1:49.0 | She gave the material, the flesh to God when he became incarnate. |
| 1:53.0 | St. Joseph did not cooperate in that, but his authority, his paternity, his love were required. |
| 2:00.0 | And who is Jesus? He's the bread from heaven |
| 2:04.4 | who's come to feed the nations. And you know, I'll start off by saying this and then we'll do a little |
| 2:09.4 | historical kind of trail here, a passage to a greater appreciation of St. Joseph. |
| 2:20.9 | You know, what happened? |
| 2:23.1 | Well, I'll start off with this. |
