From the author's Introduction: "Though the role of
St. Joseph is limited in the New Testament, his function is not insignificant
in the plan of God. He is recalled briefly in the Gospels of Luke and
Matthew: the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem, the visit of the
king-astrologers, the flight into Egypt, the Presentation in the Temple, and
life in Nazareth. I will focus on these excerpts of the New Testament in order
to sketch the most accurate portrait possible of Joseph. I shall also speak of
his veneration, which developed slowly throughout history and which has seen a
renewal since the 20th century. I will conclude with some prayers that will
awaken our contemplative glance on this great Saint, the Patron of the Church
and of workers, whom we celebrate with solemnity on March 19."
