Daily Devotions to St. Joseph - Day 27

[Cathleen]

"He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was subject to them"  (Luke 2:51).  Reflect on the holy life which Joseph led in the company of Jesus and Mary.  In that family there was no business except that which tended to the greater glory of God; there were no thoughts or desires except the thought and desire of pleasing God; there were no discourse except on the love which men owe to God and which God has shown  to men, especially in sending His only begotten Son into the world to suffer and to end His life in a sea of sorrows and insults for the salvation of mankind.

St. Joseph, through the tears thou did shed in contemplating the future passion of Jesus, obtain for me a continual remembrance of the sufferings of my Redeemer.
