The Feast of St. Joseph is on March 19th. Let us pray to St. Joseph, the most chaste spouse of the Virgin Mary and the foster father of Jesus. As we celebrate St. Joseph’s day, let us contemplate on the merits of the heart of St. Joseph.
The Heart of St. Joseph was:
A Loyal Heart
It endured with strength the anguish of being let down by seeing the apparent infidelity of Mary, his spouse and chose a course of action that was most honourable to her.
A Responsible Heart
It dutifully bore the heavy responsibility of protecting against Herod’s anger, the mother and the child entrusted to his fostering care.
A Dedicated Heart
It undertook with daily renewed consistency the jobs and chores that the daily needs of his family demanded.
