Product Description

▼▲

Joseph is the most hidden of the saints – a simple, retiring, and humble man of Nazareth. His exterior life reveals nothing extraordinary or striking. Yet he is exalted by the Church as, next to Mary herself, the greatest of all the saints and even Patron of the Universal Church.

Drawing not on private revelations or pious legends, this beautiful and edifying work unearths many truths about St. Joseph hidden in the Gospel, to bring them to light and make use of them in Joseph's honor. Among the things you'll discover are:

Why it's essential that Joseph be descended from King David
Why this descendent of Kings was fated to live in poverty and obscurity
How Joseph was glorious even in his poverty and humiliation
What his daily life in Nazareth was like
Why toil and suffering were constant companions to Jesus, Mary, and Joseph
How he sanctified his daily labor, and how you can sanctify yours
Why, without Joseph, Mary could not have become the Mother of God
Why Joseph particularly welcomed the visit of the shepherds
How - and why - Joseph was essential to the hidden life of Jesus in Nazareth

How Joseph was able to remain calm and courageous in affliction and danger; and how you can, too!
The three ways in which St. Joseph is an image of the Heavenly Father Himself
Why he's known as "God's right-hand man"
How even now St. Joseph is a benefactor to all members of Christ’s kingdom, including you!
Why his death was the happiest a man has ever endured (and three ways he can help yours be happy, too)
Why, in times of perplexity, St. Joseph is the best saint to turn to
Four reasons St. Joseph particularly deserves your devotion today
