St. Joseph, Husband of Mary

Filed Under: Food for Thought

Friday, March 19, 2021

March 19 is the Solemnity of Saint Joseph, husband of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Joseph was a just and holy man, chosen by God to be the foster father of Jesus. He trusted in God and protected Mary and Jesus by fleeing to Egypt.

He does not speak a single word in the gospels and little is known about him. Since he is not mentioned in Jesus’ adult life, it is assumed he died earlier with Mary and Jesus beside him.

St. Joseph is the patron saint of fathers, carpenters, immigrants, happy death, the Catholic Church, and more.
