Little Month of Saint Joseph
THIRTY-ONE DAYS WITH SAINT JOSEPH
Hidden from the acclaim of the world yet entrusted with the greatest of responsibilities, Saint Joseph was chosen to be the spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the foster father of Jesus Christ, and the guardian of the Holy Family.
In Little Month of Saint Joseph, Fr. Marin de Boylesve, S.J. (1813-1892) offers thirty-one concise meditations upon the life and virtues of this great Patriarch as revealed in the Gospels. Through Saint Joseph's silence, obedience, humility, purity, courage, and unwavering trust in Divine Providence, readers discover a powerful model for the Christian spiritual life.
Each meditation is brief enough to fit naturally into a busy day while providing substantial material for reflection and prayer. The collection is especially suited to March, traditionally dedicated to Saint Joseph, but may be used during any month or at any time of the year.
The meditations are accompanied by accounts of graces and interventions attributed to Saint Joseph, demonstrating the confidence with which the faithful have sought his assistance in both spiritual and temporal needs.
This edition includes:
- Thirty-one Gospel-based meditations
- Reflections upon the life and virtues of Saint Joseph
- Accounts of graces received through his intercession
- Prayers accompanying the daily meditations
- A selection of traditional devotions to Saint Joseph
- A biography of Fr. Marin de Boylesve
- Explanatory annotations
- Fourteen sacred illustrations
Accessible to newcomers while rewarding established devotees, Little Month of Saint Joseph offers a simple and effective means of growing in knowledge, love, and confidence towards the guardian of the Holy Family.
For those seeking a faithful heavenly protector and an example of steadfast service to God, the invitation of Scripture remains: "Go to Joseph."
