As Fr. Jason was away this week, we’ve decided to reprint the article about our seminarian Keith Hart that was published in the Message last week:
There is a beautiful simplicity to the life of St. Joseph. He appears very briefly in scripture. He has no lofty speech, such as Our Lady’s Magnificat. He was not a scholar, like one of the Wise Men who came to visit his son. He was a hard worker, someone accustomed to using his hands to provide for his family. St. Joseph displays ten- der mercy when he decides to divorce Mary quietly and a greater trust in God when he abides by the angel’s directions. My father has displayed some of these great qualities to me throughout my life — simplicity, hard work, mercy and trust in God. Simplicity — My father loves the land he farms and hunts on and has no desire to go beyond them. For him, it’s not the great cities of the world, far-flung coasts, or top-tier restaurants. A deer stand, old pickup truck, and worn work shirt and jeans are luxury enough for him. The basilicas of Rome would not hold more grandeur for him than a simple Mass at St. Martin, Whitfield, or St. Peter, Montgomery. Hard work — It is not unusual during planting or harvest for a farmer to be out of the house before dawn and home after dark. He has a job to finish, and he will work until it’s done. He is also good to check on neighbors and brush hog or weed-eat along county roads. He especially does this at intersections, so people traveling the road can see clearly and stay safe. My dad always wants the best for others while not wanting anything for himself. Mercy — Though farmers are famous for their tempers, rarely has my dad ever raised his voice. He does not talk bad about people, and I have never heard him use the Lord’s name in vain (though, as a farmer, it is possible equipment that isn’t working well has heard worse than I have). Trust in God — To be a farmer is to trust in God. You don’t know if a drought, negative crop conditions or poor crop prices await you year to year. My dad just trusts that God will provide. He also prays daily and raised me to do the same. I hear him nightly saying the rosary with my mother and offering prayers for neighbors in need. He could not quote the scholars that I have heard lectured about in my theology classes, but his living of the faith with a trusting heart and simple devotion has taught me how to be a Catholic man more than
anything else. Assuming I become a priest, I will not have children of my own. But, as a spiritual father of many, I hope to live out these virtues of St. Joseph as beautifully as Bud Hart has done throughout his life. St Joseph, pray for us.

October FORMED Pick of the Month
While Formed has so many wonderful studies and
documentaries about our faith, there are also several choices for movie night. Many of these are about various saints of the church including this month's pick entitled "Pope John Paul II." "This epic film follows Karol Wojtyla's journey from his youth in Poland through his late days on the Chair of St. Peter. It explores his life behind the scenes: how he touched millions of people, changed the face of the Church and the world, and how he defended the dignity of mankind. Jon Voight's powerful, Emmy-nominated performance as John Paul II was widely praised, as was Cary Elwes as the young Karol. Shot on location in Rome and Poland in close connection with the Vatican, this is the definitive epic film on the life of Pope John Paul II." (Formed.org) This was actually a movie chosen by one of my teenage children and we all learned much about his life. It was moving to see how he fulfilled the demanding role of Pope with so much grace and love while struggling with his own challenges at times. Formed recommends Parental Guidance and that parents preview it before watching with children as it does contain some violence which pertains to the life and times of Saint Pope John Paul II.
