St. Joseph of Nazareth, the Foster-Father of Our Lord Jesus Christ, has been hailed as the Light of Patriarchs, the Terror of Demons, and Protector of Holy Mother Church. He comes from a long line of kings and prophets, carrying the entire patriarchy of the Old Testament on his shoulders. There is much to say regarding him, yet the Bible seems to hide Joseph from us, with only brief mentions in the New Testament.
This completely revised edition of the author's first work, gives us a second look into who St. Joseph is and what his place is in salvation history. His role in the lives of Jesus and Mary, and his present role within the Church today, is discussed, enriched with Scriptural verses, and the treasured sayings of the Pontiffs and Saints through the ages. In addition to countless Scripture quotes, this book also contains the pious words of such saints as St. Justin Martyr, St. Peter Julian Eymard, St. Francis de Sales, Venerable Maria de Agreda and many others. Also included are the words of Pope Benedict XVI, his predecessors and various approved mystics of the Church. This work is also illustrated with works of art featuring scenes from the life of the Holy Family, contains a selection of prayers and litanies as well as a list of Feast Days pertaining to our saint.
At the end of this work are sections on Traditions, Reflections, Church Approved Apparitions and the Devotion to the 7 Sorrows & 7 Joys of St. Joseph.
