Meet Saint Joseph
Saint Joseph says practically nothing in the Bible and we do not know much about him either. We only know that he was a righteous man, he married Mary and loved her, and he lovingly raised Jesus and looked after him. Recently, however, I have discovered that there is much to imitate in his life and my devotion to Saint Joseph is growing.
- We can imitate his purity.
- We can imitate his humility.
- We can imitate his obedience.
- We can imitate his hard work.
- We can imitate his faith.
Saint Joseph is an excellent model and a powerful intercessor of men and boys. So if you struggle with a lack of faith, sloth, disobedience, pride, and/or impurity, then you need to pray to Saint Joseph.
Below is a brief prayer to Saint Joseph that I learned many years ago.
Dear Saint Joseph, who took such good care of the baby Jesus and His holy mother Mary, be my protector too, guide me on a path; that is safe and sure, and be me all the way to heaven. Amen.
-Saint Joseph, pray for us!
