ST. JOSEPH

St. Joseph portrays the ideal man in whom every man, woman and child can place the fullest confidence and trust. God chose him to be the spouse of the Blessed Mother and foster-father of the Word made Flesh. He is the model of single men and married men; he is the guardian of virgins, the protector of children, safeguard of families, consolation of the poor, patron of the dying, defender of the Church, model of the Christian workman.
