St. Joseph

The Church honors the multitude of holy men and women who we have recorded great miracles. Equally important are the men and women who lived simple lives of holy service to God and are equally important to the Church. St. Joseph, accomplished neither miracles nor other extraordinary happenings.
Along a common and very simple path the Foster Father of Jesus reached the heights of sanctity. That path the one of faithful, daily fulfillment of duties is one we may all strive for. He is the model for all men, pointing out in his life the sure road to Heaven. “He that doth the Will of My Father Who is in Heaven, he shall enter into the kingdom of Heaven.” (St. Matt. 7:21.)

Practically speaking, all men have but one vocation: namely, to serve God and save their souls. However, as various roads lead to any destintion, so do many avenues lead into the glorious and eternal City of God. There are many stations in life, all of which come from God and return to God. A conscientious fulfillment of the duties of the particular station in life is all that is required for reaching the goal; and this St. Joseph did in a pre-eminent manner.

St. Joseph’s Holiness

As head of the Holy Family, as spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary, as protector of the Son of God, St. Joseph performed willingly and uncomplainingly the duties as they arose. As an Israelite living under the rules of Moses or as a subject of the Romans who, ruled the land, an order was looked upon as the voice of God and faithfully obeyed.

As a workman, the universal lot of man since Adam’s sin, St. Joseph accepted his labor as a cheerful resignation in service to his family. Thus the years of the man, whom God was able to call a “Just Man”, passed rapidly and meritoriously. Thus he prepared for himself a death in the arms of Jesus and Mary. And when the allotted time was ended, the God Whom he loved with his whole heart, called him from work to rest from serving to ruling, from suffering to glory.

The Catholic Church, to use the words of Pope Pius IX, teaches that “St. Joseph has been designated by God as the master of His goods of His household”. St. Joseph is the patron of the Universal Church. In 1955 Pope Pius XII added the title, “Patron of Workmen” for St. Joseph, the feast to be celebrated on May 1. St. Joseph is also the patron of the dying.

Everyone should go to Joseph” in their difficulties, as the Church advises and urges! All men can learn from St. Joseph how perfectly God may be served by a faithful performance of daily duties!
