Today, we celebrate the feast of St. Joseph. He was called to be the foster father of Jesus Christ. His ancestry is from the house of David. Most importantly, with Mary, he was called to be a good model for Jesus. Pope Francis has been speaking on the catechesis of the family. The family is the greatest place to bring peace and faith to the world. Mary and Joseph are our best models. Joseph was a humble carpenter who passed this trade onto His Son. He was responsible and just. Matthew’s Gospel teaches us he was righteous. He was chaste and pure. He is a great model for fatherhood. For all of you future fathers, learn about St. Joseph (Catholic meditations on St. Joseph app, saint books, consecration of children to St. Joseph prayer card-my favorite daily prayer card), be a good father and bring your children to heaven with you! A beautiful responsibility if God gives you this blessing and calling!

Become a saint!
