Summary
For seven Sundays, the Catholic Church will explore Saint Joseph’s spiritual journey through a series of prayers. The initial prayer to the Heart of Jesus by Pope Francis emphasizes Saint Joseph as protector and father figure who introduced Jesus to the Law, work, and silence in Israel. On these days, Catholics are invited to contemplate Saint Joseph’s sorrows and joys, his silent obedience, and fidelity without fanfare. This spiritual journey culminates with a final prayer to Mary, focusing on her role as the Spouse of the Carpenter and Mother to Jesus. The Church aims to learn from Saint Joseph’s example of interior purity in guarding the Incarnate Word.
