What will be the spiritual journey of the next Novena to Saint Joseph? The event will take place at Saint Joseph’s Oratory from March 10 to 18, 2019. Our three guest preachers, three monks, are inviting us to walk with Saint Joseph and Saint André on a path of hope, faith and love.
Preaching by Dom André Laberge, Benedictine
One certainty emerges from the Word: not only does God welcome us, but he expects us. He longs for us. The path of life can sometimes be rough, abrasive, exhausting, but we are awaited. Saint Benedict, our companion for the first three days of the Novena, concluded his monastic rule with this beautiful affirmation: “You will succeed…”!
Preaching by Brother Antoine-Emmanuel, Jerusalem Community
Don’t wait to go to heaven for God to welcome you. The Word reveals to us the paths of life that will allow us to enter into His heart right now. “God became man so that in man you might discover God. When you welcome others you meet God,” says the Jerusalem Community Rule of Life, which will be our companion for three days of our journey.
Preaching by Most Rev. Yvon Joseph Moreau, Cistercian
Being welcomed by God also means entering into God, welcoming His way of being, His mystery, His Love… “Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” That is the goal! To become like God. To love as God loves. Saint Bernard, our companion for the last three days, reminds us that “The measure of God’s love is love without measure.”
Come live the Novena to Saint Joseph, from March 10 to 18, 2019.
On October 30, 2010, the canonization of Saint Brother André was celebrated with a Mass of Thanksgiving at the Olympic Stadium in Montreal. This is the second time in 30 years that the Stadium has hosted an event concerning Brother André: the first event took place on June 20, 1982 on the occasion of Brother André’s beatification. Archbishop Paul Grégoire, Archbishop of Montreal, gave the homily for the occasion.
Mass on October 30, 2010 at the Olympic Stadium
A Significant Event that Marked My Life and that of the Congregation Of Holy Cross
On October 30, at the Olympic Stadium, there were many of us from the Holy Cross family, gathered with more than 40,000 people to give thanks to God for having given us this exceptional man, Brother André. He is the first member of our religious community and the first man born in the country to be declared a saint for the whole world.
As soon as Brother André died, many pious images were produced and distributed by the Oratory. They are usually wallet-sized images with a representation of Brother André on one side and a prayer text on the back. The inscriptions on the back of these images give them great interest.
