St Joseph of Nazareth: A Man of Faith and Action

Description

Joseph, as ‘husband of Mary’ and ‘foster father’ of Jesus, played a significant role in Salvation history. From what is known about him from the gospels of Matthew and Luke, we perceive the immensity of Joseph’s greatness as stemming from the fulfilment of his God-given responsibility towards Mary and Jesus. Here’s a peep into his sense of commitment that makes him the only saint in Christendom to be invoked as the Protector of the Holy Church and a model worth emulating in terms of utter submission to God’s will.
