Sister Marguerite

God chose Mary to be the perfect mother for His Son. So, too, He chose St. Joseph to be Jesus’ earthly father. Though often referred to as the silent saint, Joseph was a man of action, obeying God’s will for him in the ordinary duties of daily life. He faithfully and tenderly loved, protected and provided for the child Jesus and Mary. And He is a model to all of us of living a good life but a quiet life, unseen and unrecognized. Recently, Pope Francis dedicated the world to Joseph as our great intercessor and model for our day. Join us as we reflect on and pray with this powerful saint.
