San Jose Aming Huwaran

This simple but beautiful hymn "Joseph, Be Our Guide and Pattern" to our patron, Saint Joseph has wonderful lyrics by Muriel Newton-White! The last verse though is very American so I adapted it for use in our seminary, and for the Universal Church whose patron is verily Saint Joseph. I also made a translation for use in vernacular liturgies.

Nevertheless the liturgy is the SUMMIT toward which the activity of the Church is directed; at the same time it is the SOURCE from which all her power flows. For the aim and object of apostolic works is that all who are made sons of God by faith and baptism should come together to praise God in the midst of His Church, to take part in the sacrifice, and to eat the Lord's supper. The liturgy in its turn moves the faithful, filled with "the paschal sacraments," to be "one in holiness"; it prays that "they may hold fast in their lives to what they have grasped by their faith"; the renewal in the eucharist of the covenant between the Lord and man draws the faithful into the compelling love of Christ and sets them on fire. From the liturgy, therefore, and especially from the eucharist, as from a font, grace is poured forth upon us; and the sanctification of men in Christ and the glorification of God, to which all other activities of the Church are directed as toward their end, is achieved in the most efficacious possible way. (SC, 10)
