Feast of St. Joseph 2025
We have absolute confidence in our Father, St. Joseph, and we know that he will protect his people just as he protected the Holy Family.  The devotion to St. Joseph has been practiced from the early days of the Church, and later St. Pius V established the feast day more permanently.  He helped facilitate the Incarnation, and because of this he is tied closely to the Hypostatic Union.  We see in him an example of the semi-contemplative life of prayer and work.  His heart always remained in Heaven, even in the busyness of his profession.  St. Joseph is the greatest of all the saints, after the Virgin Mary.  He is the Protector of the Holy Church and patron of the dying.  The saints tell us that there is nothing that he cannot obtain for us if we ask.
