A WELL-TRUSTED MAN

A WELL-TRUSTED MAN


We don't KNOW a lot
About Saint Joseph=but we
Know that the GOSPEL
Calls him “RIGHTEOUS”


He was probably a man
Of GREAT FAITH and a
Man WELL-TRUSTED by God


If he wasn't=OUR FATHER
Would NOT have trusted
Him with the care of
THE DIVINE FAMILY


And he wouldn't have
CHANGED his mind=about
Divorcing Mary


EVEN with the appearance
Of the ANGEL


“When Joseph awoke=he did
As the angel of the Lord
Had commanded him


And took his wife
INTO HIS HOME” Matthew 1:24


Yes=Joseph was a
WELL-TRUSTED MAN by
God our FATHER


And Mary=his wife=and
His son Jesus=
They were a LOVING FAMILY


“In you-
Our ancestors-put their TRUST


They TRUSTED
And you delivered them” Psalm 22:4


“Whoever can be TRUSTED
With very little
Can also be TRUSTED
With much


And whoever is dishonest
With very little
Will be dishonest with much” Luke 16:10


And Joseph was so HONEST
And TRUSTED=
That God TRUSTED HIM
With his very own FAMILY


A man of honesty
A man of trust


“........but to show
That they can be FULLY TRUSTED


So that in every way
They will make the teaching
About our God our SAVIOR-attractive” Titus 2:10


Joseph's FAITH saw him
Through many troubles


No place for Jesus
To be BORN=
A king who wanted
To murder Jesus=
And Joesph must have
BEEN beside himself when
Jesus was MISSING for three days


But through it all=
God trusted the CARE
Of the SAVIOR of the world
To Joseph


He trusted Joseph
What a loving-CARING FATHER-
He must have been


“But if a widow
Has children or grandchildren


These should learn
First of all
To put their religion
In to practice


By CARING for
Their own FAMILY
And so repaying their parents
And grandparents


For this is=PLEASING TO GOD” 1 Timothy 5:4


Joseph=a WELL-TRUSTED MAN
And endorsed by GOD OUR FATHER


No wonder=he is
The PATRON OF FAMILIES


May we FOLLOW his
AMAZING example of TRUST
And be loving-caring members
Of our own FAMILY


In Jesus' name=and in the name of Joseph=and GOD=our all-loving FATHER
