What Can Dads Learn From St. Joseph, Silent Giant Of Faith?
We can learn to trust. We can trust, as fathers, that God has given us the grace in every circumstance to rise to the occasion and be a man. We can trust, as husbands, that marriage does not make it easy, but it makes a great many things possible. We can trust, as children of God, that we ought to go wherever He is telling us to go. We can trust, as men, that we should seek to make, provide, and defend things for our families ourselves and not rely on our community, friends, or government to do it for us.
St. Joseph does not say a word in Scripture because the Gospel writers knew the power of the man who acts in righteousness and trust. Be like St. Joseph. Be an upright man of God, trusting in God’s providence, guidance, and grace.
St. Joseph, foster father of Jesus, husband of Mary, righteous man of God, universal patron of the Church, and terror of demons, pray for us.
