Saint Joseph the Just Man – Pope Benedict XVI

Aleteia - published on 03/08/13

Saint Joseph announced the marvels of the Lord and bore witness to Mary's virginity, God's selfless deed, whilst protecting the early life of the Messiah. Let us venerate Jesus' lawful father, because in him we see a new man, who looked to the future with confidence and courage, who disregarded his own goals, but entrusted himself completely to the infinite mercy of the One who fulfils prophecies
