Model of Workers – St. Joseph was a diligent laborer, showing us how to joyfully approach our work. “He gives God his life… he places at his service the strength of his arm; he gives… all that he is and all he can do; the ordinary everyday work that is part of his station in life.” St. Josemaria Escriva
Example to Parents – Joseph was entrusted with the task of being the foster father of Jesus, standing in for God the Father. “Joseph showed Jesus, by a special gift of heaven…all the natural love that a father’s heart can give.” St. John Paul II
