            St Joseph is known as the “Glory of Domestic Life and the “Pillar of Families”.  Today families are falling apart.  There is an attempt to redefine the family.  This has resulted in an increase in divorce, the majority of Christian homes using contraceptives, legalized abortion, and the acceptance of two moms or two dads as the parents of a child.  Our culture is on the edge of a great precipice.
            How can we return to order – to the sanctity of motherhood, the heroism of fatherhood, and the blessing of children?  The only way is to elevate the Holy Family as our model.  St. Joseph wants to be the pillar of your family, the unshakeable foundation, teaching the importance of prayer, respect, forgiveness, love, and most importantly, putting God above all other things. Lovingly welcome St. Joseph into your home.  Invoke his intercession and honor him.  Where he is present, Mary and Jesus are present too.
            Many people today do not know the love of a father.  God wants you to rest in St. Joseph’s fatherhood.  He will never abandon you.  He is your spiritual father, and he loves you.  He would give his life for you.  Run to him.  Pour out your heart to him.  He is always available, always attentive, always understanding.  Go to St. Joseph.
