journal/THE FATHER OF US ALL

Today is the feast day of Saint Joseph-otherwise known as THE 'JUST" MAN

Joseph planned to do divorce Mary quietly-because he was a "RIGHTEOUS" man and did not want to expose her to shame (Matthew 1:19)

But he did not even do this-HE was obedient and faithful to God and married her

DEAR LORD-we pray for the obedience and FAITH of Saint Joseph-THE FATHER OF THE
UNIVERSAL CHURCH

it is A GREAT DAY TO BE ALIVE!in God's love for us

LOVE YOU ALL!








THEFATHER OF US ALL---SAINT JOSEPH


He was
The Father of all Fathers
The Father of Jesus
Our Lord


The angel of the Lord
Appeared to Joseph


“Do not be afraid
To take Mary as your wife
Because what is conceived in her
Is from the Holy Spirit”


Are you serious Lord


Could you imagine
How you would react
How I would react
How anyone would react
To this---in today’s world


Joseph was a righteous man
He did not want
To expose Mary to public disgrace
So he stood by her


Then the angel
Told Joseph
To take the child and Mary---to Egypt
And he did this too


He was
A carpenter by trade
And as his human Father---
Along with Mary
Was responsible for developing the human traits and character
Of Jesus


Our Saint Joseph
A man of righteousness
A man of honor and faith
The Patron Saint of Fathers


Our Saint Joseph
Who stood tall
In the midst
Of it all


Our Saint Joseph
The Father of the Holy Family
Our Saint Joseph
The Father of the Universal Church


Our Saint Joseph
THE FATHER OF US ALL
