Joseph
is the most hidden of the saints – a simple, retiring, and humble
man of Nazareth. His exterior life reveals nothing extraordinary or
striking. Yet he is exalted by the Church as, next to Mary herself,
the greatest of all the saints and
even Patron of the Universal Church.
Do
you know why?
Apparently,
the Church knows more about St. Joseph than most of us do. This
remarkable book finally breaks the silence.
Drawing
not on private revelations or pious legends, this beautiful and
edifying work unearths many truths about St. Joseph hidden in the
Gospel, to bring them to light and make use of them in Joseph’s
