noticed today that St. Joseph is stepping on a book. has anyone seen this imagery before or know what it means?

#cursory internet search was unhelpful #st. joseph #saint joseph #catholic #catholicism #my best guess is that it’s some kind of reference to psalm 105:21 like in the litany of st joseph? #but that still doesn’t make much sense #so idk

[fictionadventurer]

When Jesus told us to call God our Father, the example of fatherhood that provided his frame of reference for that metaphor was was St. Joseph.

St. Joseph would have been Jesus' example of how to die a good and holy death.

I just love St. Joseph so much.

Something better

They had plans for a future together.

Which is why Joseph was heartbroken. When he found out that Mary was pregnant. All of his dreams for their future together were shattered.

Joseph could have lashed out. He could have let everyone know what she had done. No one could have blamed him for being angry.

But not Joseph. Even after that, he was unwilling to humiliate Mary.

Joseph’s plan B was kind. He was going to leave quietly. To give up on all of his hopes and dreams.

What makes Joseph different is that – in the middle of it, when it hurt the most, when it couldn’t get any worse – Joseph was listening to God.

Joseph didn’t ask “why me?”

Joseph didn’t rage about betrayal.

Joseph turned to God.

In the midst of it all, Joseph was listening to God.

Which is why Joseph was able to hear what God was saying.

Listen. It’s the same thing that God is saying to you.

“Let go of your plan.

I have something better.

Just for you.”

SAINT OF THE DAY (March 19)

St. Joseph is honored with feast days throughout the Liturgical Year. This feast encourages us to look at Joseph's role as husband and head of the Holy Family.

Most of what we know about the life of St. Joseph comes to us from Scripture and legends that have sprung up regarding his life. 

Though Joseph is only mentioned by two of the evangelists, he is paid the compliment of being a "just" man.

This is a way of saying that Joseph was such a good and holy man that he shares in God's own holiness.

In addition, Joseph gives us an example of how to be a just spouse and how to have holy relationships.

Joseph's example as a husband can be best seen in how he respected Mary.

He realized that God had a special plan for his wife and for his son, and Joseph did everything in his power to help this plan become reality.

When Joseph was given chances to give up his vocation to the married life by divorcing Mary or leaving her, he resisted the temptation and stayed by her side providing support and love.

The feast of St. Joseph, Husband of Mary, has been celebrated throughout the church since the tenth century and has been honored as the Patron of the Universal Church since 1870.

St. Joseph is the patron of workers, carpenters, Austria, Belgium, Bohemia, Canada, Mexico, Peru, and southern Vietnam.
