Noble son of the House of David  St. Joseph is of the line of King David. “Joseph was of the royal line of David and, in virtue of his marriage to Mary, would confer on the Son of the Virgin – on God’s Son – the legal title of ‘Son of David,’ thus fulfilling the prophecies.” –Pope Benedict XVI

St. Joseph is called the “Son of David” by the angel when he speaks to him in a dream and instructs Joseph to take Mary into his home.  The angel is reminding  St. Joseph of his royal ancestry and his important role in the coming of the Messiah.  God planned for his Eternal Son to be known by those around him as the son of a man of the house of David, and that man was St. Joseph.

Light of Patriarchs  “See how great was the faith of Abraham, the obedience of Isaac, the courage of David, the wisdom of Solomon.  Remember that Joseph is…at the head of the saints, the kings, the prophets, the patriarchs, that he is more faithful than Abraham, more obedient than Isaac, more generous than David, wiser than Solomon, in a word, as superior in grace as he is close to the source, Jesus sleeping in his arms.” –Blessed William Joseph Chaminade

In celebration of St. Joseph’s feast day yesterday, we had the beautiful opportunity to have Our Lord visit us in our St. Josemaria Chapel for Adoration! We will continue Adoration on Fridays and are grateful to Our Lady of Ransom’s Assoc. Pastor, Fr. Alex for bringing us the Blessed Sacrament!

A big “Thank You!” to an anonymous donor for helping St. Joseph’s feast day shine bright for our Sparks and their families! An Embers friend who has great love and devotion to St. Joseph has shared this love with Embers!

If you travel out of state to high-risk areas during Spring Break and/or attend gatherings, we suggest that you try to be back at home by the morning of Wednesday after Easter (April 7), giving you 5 days before returning to school to make sure that everyone is healthy. If your travel plans have you returning after April 7th, please contact Mrs. Reardon (kreardon@embersacademy.org) to receive guidance on a return-to-school date for your children.

We are appreciative for your prudence in your travel plans to help Embers maintain a healthy school environment for its families, faculty and staff in order to continue in-person instruction. Thank you!
