Celebrating the Solemnity of Saint Joseph | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Today Catholics around the world celebrate the solemnity of Saint Joseph, protector of the family and patron of the Universal Church and of workers. In Italy, Saint Joseph's Day is also known as Father's Day. Pope Francis during his General Audience on January 26, 2022 said, "Joseph prayed, worked and loved. Because of this he always received what he needed to face life's trials". In Italy and around the world, it's a day to honor the men who embody the spirit of giving for their families. In the heart of Rome, among ancient splendors and relics, lies a treasure seldom seen by the public eye. The Basilica of Saint Anastasia is the guardian of a relic of Saint Joseph. For 16 centuries, this Basilica has housed the holy garment, believed to have been brought to Rome by St. Jerome in the 4th century, along with a colorful veil of the Virgin Mary. The two relics offer a glimpse into the Holy Family's life, where St. Joseph silently cared for Mary and Jesus.
