Eleventh week in Ordinary Time
Year of St. Joseph in Arabia
Dear sisters and brothers in Christ,
We are still marking the year of St. Joseph, so proclaimed by Pope Francis. The Pope’s visit to Abu Dhabi in February 2019 led to my discovering the writings of bishop Paul Hinder. He is the Apostolic Vicar of Southern Arabia. He is entrusted with the pastoral care of the Catholics living in the UAE, Oman and Yemen. He has also been taking care of the Church in Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, for some time. It is a very difficult task because of many reasons. Every year he writes a pastoral letter to the faithful in the area. This year, of course, he concentrated on the person of St. Joseph. A share a fragment of his pastoral letter for the year 2021.
“150 years ago, Pope Pius IX declared Saint Joseph as patron of the Universal Church. It was a difficult time for the Church which was under fire from both outside and inside. From outside, because after the French Revolution and the time of the Enlightenment, the worldly power of the Church (most manifest in the Papal States) was contested and seen as something to be destroyed. From inside, because the Church was torn between tendencies to restore a lost past on one side, and movements which attempted to reconcile faith and active engagement with the world.
