DAYS WITH ST JOSEPH

Day 1 – Saint Joseph: Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary

When God chose the Blessed Virgin Mary to become the Mother of His Son, He also chose Saint Joseph to be her husband and companion in the work of salvation. This title, “Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary,” reveals the unique place Saint Joseph occupies in God’s plan. Before he became the guardian of Jesus, he was first entrusted with the care of Mary, the Mother of God.

The Gospel of Matthew describes Joseph as a “just man” (Matthew 1:19). In the biblical sense, justice means holiness, righteousness, and a willingness to obey God’s will. When Joseph learned that Mary was with child, he faced a situation he could not understand. Yet instead of acting with anger or suspicion, he responded with humility and compassion. After an angel revealed God’s plan to him in a dream, Joseph immediately obeyed and welcomed Mary into his home.

The Catholic Church teaches that the marriage between Joseph and Mary was a true marriage, established by God and directed toward the care and upbringing of Jesus. Though their marriage was unique in salvation history, it was marked by authentic love, mutual respect, and complete dedication to God’s will. Joseph protected Mary’s dignity, accompanied her through many trials, and shared with her the joys and responsibilities of caring for the Savior.

Saint Joseph’s relationship with Mary teaches us the meaning of faithful love. In a world where commitments are often abandoned, Joseph reminds us that true love is patient, sacrificial, and rooted in God. He loved Mary not because of what she could give him, but because he desired to serve God through serving her.

Saint Josemaría Escrivá often encouraged Christians to develop a deep devotion to Saint Joseph. He wrote that Joseph teaches us how to love Jesus and Mary and how to serve God through ordinary daily duties. By faithfully fulfilling his vocation as Mary’s spouse, Joseph became one of the greatest saints in the history of the Church.

As we begin this week dedicated to Saint Joseph, let us remember that holiness often begins with simple faithfulness. Joseph’s quiet obedience changed the course of history and helped prepare the way for our salvation.
