Saint Joseph is invoked by many titles including Terror of Demons.

The Patron Saint of EVERYTHING!

Declared the Guardian of the Universal Church by Pope Pius IX in 1870, Saint Joseph is one of the most beloved saints in the Christian world today. There are more churches and schools in America named after him than any other saint!

Besides his patronage of the Church, Saint Joseph is also prayed to as the patron of dying people, doubt, hesitation, interior souls, carpenters, craftsmen, engineers, fathers, laborers, and the countries of Austria, Belgium, Canada, China, Korea, Mexico, and Vietnam.

In fact, many saints considered Saint Joseph the patron saint of...everything! Saint Andre of Montreal recommended that for every need all Christians should "Ite ad Joseph" – go to Joseph! And the many healings and other miracles that Saint Andre brought about through the intercession of Saint Joseph are testimony to the wisdom of this advice.

“I don’t know how one can think about the Queen of Angels and about when she went through so much with the Infant Jesus without giving thanks to St Joseph.” - St Teresa of Avila Today we celebrate the Solemnity of St Joseph the husband the Blessed Virgin Mary. He has been honoured in the Church for many centuries as a good husband and father. According to the Gospel of Matthew, Joseph was a carpenter and “a son of David”. The Gospels give us a picture of Joseph as a person, like Mary, of great sensitivity to the word of God. He hears and does the word. He is a provider for his family and an example to the young Jesus. Joseph found happiness not in mere self-sacrifice but in self-gift. In him, we never see frustration but only trust. His patient silence was the prelude to concrete expressions of trust. Our world today needs fathers. It has no use for tyrants who would dominate others as a means of compensating for their own needs. It rejects those who confuse authority with authoritarianism, service with servility, discussion with oppression, charity with a welfare mentality, power with destruction. Every true vocation is born of the gift of oneself, which is the fruit of mature sacrifice. Whatever our vocation, Whether to marriage, celibacy or virginity, our gift of self will not come to fulfilment if it stops at sacrifice; were that the case, instead of becoming a sign of the beauty and joy of love, the gift of self would risk being an expression of unhappiness, sadness and frustration. - Pope Francis, With a Father’s Heart #feast #saint #stjoseph #saintjoseph #catholic #christianity #jesus #christ #prayer #faith #spirituality #solemnity #popefrancis #inspirationalquotes #sacredart #kingdomofgod #carmelite #carmelites #peace #hope #love #courage #melbourne #australia #timorleste #holyfamily #blessedvirginmary #godthefather #virginmary https://www.instagram.com/p/CqAd_mOJ7E5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Saint Joseph. En plus de l’église albigeoise de mon quartier d’enfance, cet homme que je connais peu m’inspire pourtant confiance et respect. Il a reçu aged confiance Marie pour épouse alors qu’elle attendait un enfant. Il a su protéger cet enfant qu’il a fait sien et a éduqué avec amour et bienveillance. Il s’est fait confiance quand en rêve il a plusieurs fois reçu des messages : celui d’épouser en confiance Marie, celui de fuir Bethléem pour l’Egypte et celui ensuite de revenir à Nazareth… Pourrais-je en faire autant ? Aurais autant confiance ? Pour écouter les messages, je sais déjà que je ne sais pas trop le faire tant malgré mon mysticisme, je suis cartésien… en ce mois de mars dédié à Saint Joseph, puis-je recevoir de sa sagesse et de sa force de caractère… ✨🙏🏻✨ #confianceensoi #saintjoseph #foi #chretienlifestyle (à Église Notre-Dame-de-la-Drèche) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpcF8FjDlkJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

To Thee O Blessed Joseph

To you, O blessed Joseph, do we come in our tribulation, and having implored the help of your most holy Spouse, we confidently invoke your patronage also. Through that charity which bound you to the Immaculate Virgin Mother of God and through the paternal love with which you embraced the Child Jesus, we humbly beg you graciously to regard the inheritance which Jesus Christ has purchased by his Blood, and with your power and strength to aid us in our necessities. O most watchful guardian of the Holy Family, defend the chosen children of Jesus Christ; O most loving father, ward off from us every contagion of error and corrupting influence; O our most mighty protector, be kind to us and from heaven assist us in our struggle with the power of darkness. As once you rescued the Child Jesus from deadly peril, so now protect God's Holy Church from the snares of the enemy and from all adversity; shield, too, each one of us by your constant protection, so that, supported by your example and your aid, we may be able to live piously, to die in holiness, and to obtain eternal happiness in heaven. Amen.
