Daily Devotion to St. Joseph - Day 3

The example of Jesus Christ, Who wished to honor St. Joseph so much and to be subject to him on earth, ought to inflame all with a fervent devotion toward this great saint.  Since the Eternal Father shared His own authority with St. Joseph, Jesus always regarded him as a father and respected and obeyed him for thirty years.  St. Luke says, "He was subject to them," (Luke 2:51).  These words mean that all during that time the sole occupation of the Redeemer was to obey Mary and Joseph.  To St. Joseph, as head of the little family, belonged the office of commanding, and to Jesus, as subject, the duty of obedience.  Hence a learned author has justly said, "Men should pay great honor to him whom the King of Kings raised to such a great height." 

St. Joseph, by the obedience which Jesus rendered to thee, make me always obedient to the will of God.
