"Though thou hast recourse to many saints as thine intercessors, go specially to St. Joseph, for he has great power with God."
-St. Teresa of Avila
.
St. Joseph, Jesus' foster father! What an honor to be the man God asks to raise his own son! St. Joseph was a good and holy man, that loved his wife and protected his family. Hardworking, faithful and strong- a fantastic role model for boys. St. Joseph trusted God's plan, even when it would have been easy to walk away. A powerful intercessor, and favorite patron for many of the Saints!
Teach your children about trusting in God's plan! Introduce the story of St. Joseph using the educational insert in the box. Encourage children to consider that God's plans might look different than ours- but when we trust God, great things happen! Great for opening discussions about trust, family, fatherhood, hope, prudence and gentleness.
