Daily Devotions to St. Joseph - Day 8

[Cathleen]

In the Gospels, St. Joseph is called "the Just."  What is meant by a just man?  St. Peter Chrysologus says "It means a perfect man -- one who possesses all virtues."  St. Joseph was already holy before his marriage, but how much must his sanctity have increased after his union with the Blessed Virgin?  The example of his holy spouse sufficed to sanctify him.  Since Mary is the dispenser of all graces which God grants to men, in what profusion must she have showered them down on her spouse who she loved so much and by whom she was so tenderly loved?

St. Joseph, increase my devotion to thy Beloved Spouse, Mary

[Flavia Talladen Schott]

Amen.

[Gloria]
