One of 101 titles in the St. Joseph Picture Book Series, this book by popular author Father Lovasik S.V.D., Conv. provides children with a beautiful explanation of the life of Saint Joseph. St. Joseph was a humble, hardworking man chosen by God to be the earthly father of Jesus and the husband of Mary. Even though he doesn‘t speak a single word in the Bible, St. Joseph‘s actions show us his strong faith, love, and obedience to God. Joseph was a carpenter, which means he made things from wood. He taught Jesus this trade, working every day to provide for his family. His love for Jesus and Mary shows us how important family is and reminds us to take care of the people we love. An angel appeared to Joseph in a dream, telling him that Mary would have a special child, Jesus, who would save the world. Joseph trusted God and listened to the angel, even though he didn‘t understand everything. Later, he protected Mary and Jesus by taking them to Egypt to keep them safe. As a faithful man, St. Joseph obeyed God without hesitation, always trusting in His plan. Because of his strength, humility, and love, he is the patron saint of the Catholic Church and of families, workers, and fathers. > Specific topics covered in this title include: An Angel appears to Joseph Mary and Joseph are Married Mary and Joseph Go to Bethlehem Joseph Adores the Infant Jesus The Coming of the Shepherds Joseph Gives Jesus His Name Joseph Takes Mary and Her Child to the Temple Joseph Welcomes the Magi Joseph Takes Mary and Jesus to Egypt Joseph Returns to Nazareth Joseph Finds the Boy Jesus in the Temple Jesus Works with Joseph Joseph was the Head of the Holy Family The Death of Joseph St. Joseph is the Protector of Families St. Joseph is the Protector of the Church Prayer to St. Joseph
