So many of us want to know what God can do for us.
But all St. Joseph wanted to know was
What he could do for Mary and Jesus?
Joseph reminds us that true fulfillment is not in getting but in giving.
Joseph was a father to Jesus;
Guiding and teaching Jesus in His youth.
Joseph was a Provider
For Mary and Jesus.
Joseph was a Carpenter who labored and put a house over the head of Jesus
And Joseph was Protector;
from the persecution of Herod.
And Joseph is the Patron of a Happy Death,
For as Mary and Jesus gathered around his death bed,
Jesus whispered in his ear;
“Do not worry, I am the Resurrection and the Life.”
When our day comes;
Joseph will visit us on our deathbed
And whisper in our ear,
“Do not worry,
My Son is the Resurrection and the Life.”
