The Great Saint Joseph: Powerful Intercessor

This week, we honor St. Joseph, the faithful guardian of Mary and Jesus, and a powerful intercessor for all who seek his aid. As the last of the Patriarchs, he was chosen by God to protect the Holy Family, ensuring their safety and well-being. His care for his family on earth continues in eternity as he assists those who turn to him, especially for a happy death.

St. Joseph’s influence is evident in miraculous events, such as the construction of the Loretto Chapel staircase in New Mexico. After a novena in his honor, a mysterious carpenter appeared and built a spiral staircase with no central support using wood of unknown origin. Over a century later, it remains a marvel of engineering. Let us turn to him in all our needs, trusting in his powerful intercession. St. Joseph, pray for us!

“...and that which you hear in the ear, preach ye from the housetops.” Matthew 10:27
