Joseph is a father who stays silent because he listens to the Word incarnate in a fragile child.
He contemplates and meditates. He loves without possessing.
He obeys, gets up, and leaves for a foreign land. Then he returns and finds the right home for his whole family. In his everyday life he works, educates, protects, and waits. Joseph’s path is our path too.
The icon of the Saint, the foster father of Jesus, is a model for us all and can accompany us
in everyday life.
The new edition of Giuseppe siamo noi (We Are Joseph) is enriched by three chapters that update the volume on the occasion of the special “Year of St. Joseph.”
