Feast of Saint Joseph 2015
When a person is given a vocation, he is always given the divine help necessary to reach his final goal of Heaven. Even the people who miss their divine calling are given sufficient grace to save their souls. Many people, especially in our days, lack confidence in God and are too afraid to fulfill their great calling in life. St. Joseph was called to be the spouse of the Mother of God and the earthly representative of God the Father. This was a vocation which was truly beyond human ability to fulfill. The only doubts St. Joseph entertained were doubts about his own judgment. He recognized his poverty in every way, but was filled with confidence in God. Like the priest, St. Joseph had custody over the Body of the Son of God and was willing to lay down his life to protect Him. The patron of all our needs is St. Joseph.
