| St. Joseph, Husband and Father |
Much is written of St. Joseph, yet little is recorded about him, either directly in Scripture or by way of tradition. Yet only a few words or phrases speak volumes about St.Joseph: Of his identity—a Jew, of the House of David and a subject of Rome; of his vocations—husband, father, and carpenter; of his traits—righteous, obedient, loving, faithful, hopeful, courageous, and silent; of his actions—protecting, guiding, and fostering. (Mt 1:16, 18-21, 24; Lk 2:41-51.) He was, in the truest and best sense, a good, righteous man.
