  • Joseph, the adoptive father of Jesus Christ, is perhaps one of the most overlooked characters in the life of the Savior and the story of the Nativity. Yet, there is no question that Joseph left a powerful impact on Jesus, Mary, and their other children. He was a man of solid conviction. His love for Mary, the mother of Jesus, is unmatched. Because Joseph’s story is only covered in four chapters of the Bible and he most likely died before the ministry of the Savior, we often gloss over him, and sadly miss the powerful witness he left of his adopted son, the Messiah of the world.

      @z Matthew 1:25 states that Joseph had marital relations with Mary after the birth of Jesus. Generally, that means more children. And also, there are many passages referring to brothers and sisters of Jesus in the Gospels, even naming them. Mark 6:3, Matthew 13:55-56, John 7:1-5 are just a few examples.

James and Judas (who were also apostles) as well as their elder brothers Simon and Joseph were Jesus' cousins, Alphaeus' sons (Alphaeus was the brother of Joseph the adoptive father of Jesus). If Jesus had siblings as you people claim (even Martin Luther believed Jesus was the only child of Mary), why then did his Mother Mary move out to John's house after the crucifixion of Jesus? Was John perhaps Jesus' brother too? Would she not have gone to live with her "other" children? Were two of the apostles not her children as you people wrongly claim? So why would she, after seeing her son murdered go and start living with someone who is not related to her and who has his own mother (Mary Salome) while she has children?🤔

    Beautiful depictions. I have to add something to his piece which I learned several years ago. When the betrothal ceremony was complete, the groom went to his own home, having promised his bride that he would prepare a home (this might be an actual home, or he would be adding a room onto his father's house for her. Think of the scripture, "In my Father's house are many mansions... I go to prepare a place for you. If I go & prepare a place for you I will return to receive you to myself, that where I am you may be also.") Then.... & this is the part I find fascinating... the groom could not go get his bride until HIS FATHER told him that it was time to return for his bride! Think about it... If you're an eager young bridegroom who wanted to go get his bride, you might be in such a hurry that you slap up a quick "house" (or room in his father's house), & call it good so that you can rush to go bring your bride home. But a wise father was in charge. He would see to it that the place prepared for his new daughter-in-law was just perfect before allowing his son to go for her. This is so significant when we think about the Bridegroom coming for His Bride at the Second Coming. Only the Father knows when it is time for His Son's return to earth for his Bride. I just find the symbolism so fascinating! (You can read more about this in Donna B. Nielsen's (a member of our faith) book, "Beloved Bridegroom: Finding Christ in Ancient Jewish Marriage & Family Customs," as well as a wee bit in Donna Baer's (not a member of our faith) book, "The Bible's Feasts: The Secrets Behind the World's Oldest Holidays." - comment taken from one website, written by Laura Clayton

One night, I looked out of the window of my room where I was confined and I saw the facade of the St. Joseph Shrine. I prayed to God and to Jesus to heal me and before I ended the prayer I asked the help of St. Joseph to also pray for me and if he could deliver my prayers to Jesus. When, I woke up the next day my fever was gone and my blood tests became normal. I thank the Lord for healing me and to St. Joseph for interceding with my prayers. ❤️

    Happy feast day of St Joseph to everyone! It was nice going to Mass today. This afternoon I prayed the Rosary of St Joseph. I'm so glad this year is dedicated to this remarkable man. We should pray to St Joseph for our families. St Joseph terror of demons, pray for us!

      We are to pray only to God. The "saints" of the Catholic religion can't answer prayers, nor can they intercede for us before God. And if any demon was ever afraid of a mortal man (other than Jesus when He was on earth), the demon was a wuss.

    Joseph, heroic, brave, loving, forgiving. Saving the life of Jesus during Herod's reign of terror. A remarkable man, that gets glossed over by history. This man needs to be remembered. Teaching the men, @ the rest of the world, what a REAL MAN IS. WHAT A FATHER IS. Before Christ grew up, this man saved him and humanity. God knew what He was doing when choosing Joseph as Christ's earthly father. 😇🙏✌💜

    “Where does he get this wisdom and the power to do miracles?” Then they scoffed, “He’s just the carpenter’s son, and we know Mary, his mother, and his brothers-James, Joseph,[f] Simon, and Judas. All his sisters live right here among us. Where did he learn all these things?” And they were deeply offended and refused to believe in him. Mat 13:57

    God could not have chosen a better man for father of his son.
    I just had my third miracle baby born on August 15. We named him Julian Joseph. Although I wanted to honor Mary, we already had Marian names with our first two children and this time couldn't agree on a boy's name we both loved. I had prayed to St. Joseph since recently I heard he is known to "make possible what seems impossible". I had a couple things to ask through his intercession and they were granted! I'm really glad my husband agreed on the name Joseph and I know St. Joseph will be looking after this little soul.

    From a Catholic perspective Joseph was a just man and he is mentioned in the Roman Canon during the Eucharistic prayer.
    The following is a song I learned when I was a boy in Catholic School growing up in the 1960's
    St Joseph God has given you all workers for your own,
    Teach them to do the best they can, with steel and wood and stone.
    St Joseph God has chosen you to keep His church from harm,
    Protect the CHURCH as once you held the Christ Child in your arms.
    Saint Joseph please protect us forever be our guide,
    Help us to love Jesus more in and His laws abide.
