S1 E7: Go to St Joseph
from Beautifully Told · host Catholic Truth Society
In this episode, we discuss a saint who is particularly beloved by both of us: St Joseph. Although he is easily forgotten due to his lack of speech in Scripture, we share reasons for having a great devotion to St Joseph, such as his courage in the face of Our Lady's unexpected pregnancy, his dedication to work, his obedience to God, and how fruitful prayers to him are known to be. We also consider how loving St Joseph can help us to in turn love Jesus more. Discover prayers to St Joseph, blogs exploring his life, and a selection of books that will help further your devotion to him, head to our St Joseph mini-site: ctsbooks.org/stjoseph For additional resources on St Joseph and discussion questions based on this podcast episode, head to our website: ctsbooks.org/beautifullytold Quote “The Son of the Almighty came into our world in a state of great vulnerability. He needed to be defended, protected, cared for and raised by Joseph. God trusted Joseph, as did Mary, who found in him someone who would not only save her life, but would always provide for her and her child.” (Pope Francis – Patris Corde) Final Thought – CCC 532 Jesus' obedience to his mother and legal father fulfills the fourth commandment perfectly and was the temporal image of his filial obedience to his Father in heaven. The everyday obedience of Jesus to Joseph and Mary both announced and anticipated the obedience of Holy Thursday: "Not my will. . ." The obedience of Christ in the daily routine of his hidden life was already inaugurating his work of restoring what the disobedience of Adam had destroyed.
