Father Broom preaches on the great St. Joseph. This man was entrusted by God the Father to protect and provide for Mary, the Mother of God, and her son, Jesus Christ, the God-Man. What a responsibility! When God calls us to great works, he provides all the graces we need. How grace filled Joseph must have been.
St. Joseph is the universal patron.. he can help with all of our prayer intentions. St. Teresa of Avila, who had a deep devotion to him, said that not only did he answer all of her requests but that he did it quickly. Other saints might answer, she said, but they took their time. But the response of St. Joseph was immediate.
St. Joseph is the patron of a holy and happy death since he died in the arms of Mary and Jesus. That is exactly where we all want to die.
