Christ's Father: Devotion To Saint Joseph

Joseph is a figure in the canonical gospels who was married to Mary, mother of Jesus and was the legal father of Jesus. The Gospels name brothers of Jesus; the Gospel of James, an apocryphal work of the late 2nd century, theorized these as the sons of Joseph from an earlier marriage.

Joseph is venerated as Saint Joseph in the Catholic Church, Orthodox Church, Oriental Orthodox Church, and Anglicanism. His feast day is observed by some Lutherans.

This work has been granted the Imprimatur, presents the life of St. Joseph beginning with the faithful prayers of his parents to conceive a son to his birth and childhood. Also the harassment by the devil, his marriage to the Blessed Virgin Mary, the birth and life with Christ through to the circumstances of his death and his glorification in Heaven.
