Throughout history...
visionaries have described Him as a silent, humble, and kind carpenter...
who in His practice was often assisted by the Child Jesus and the Angels.
He gave all the fruits of His dedicated labor to the Heights...
and often entered into states of deep contemplation...
while working with wood.
His little carpentry shop...
was an epicenter of peace and solidarity...
a temple of miracles and conversions...
a refuge for souls in search of God.
Encouraged by the Virgin Mary and Jesus...
Saint Joseph donated almost all His gains to those in need...
keeping what was strictly necessary for the Sacred Family...
to survive with austerity.
Inspired by these passages...
that reflect the essence of simplicity...
service to others...
and the christic charity of the Sacred Family...
let us pray, every 19th, that our inner worlds may be sanctified...
by the Spirit of the Divine Carpenter of Nazareth.
