St. Joseph, the earthly father of our Lord, wasn't just a regular man. St. Joseph was chosen by God to raise Jesus in love and virtue. Tomorrow, 2 hours from now, is his feast day. You don't have to be Catholic or Orthodox to admire the man for who he was, and what he did for our Lord and our Blessed Mother. He was chosen for his love of God and of his own virtue. He was just, righteous, and entrusted by God to raise His only Son. St. Joseph was a man of great character, and masculine to his core. He was a carpenter, worked with his hands, built things that lasted. Boys take, men give. St. Joseph was a giver. He did 2 major things. He loved people, and did whatever God told him to do. Thank you St. Joseph for your example. Just like we can ask our friends to pray for us, God is the god of the LIVING, and St. Joseph is alive in Heaven. St. Joseph, pray for us!
