Saint Joseph, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary (19 March): Butler's Lives of the Saints

About this sermon

St. Joseph, the humble guardian of Our Lord Jesus Christ and the Most Chaste Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary, stands as one of the greatest saints in Heaven. Yet his life is hidden, silent, and full of profound mystery. In this traditional reading from The Lives of the Saints by Father Alban Butler, we uncover the virtue, humility, purity, and obedience of St. Joseph — the man chosen by God to protect the Holy Family and raise the Son of God. From his silent suffering when he discovered Mary with child, to his heroic obedience in fleeing into Egypt, to his hidden life in Nazareth — St. Joseph exemplifies perfect trust in Divine Providence. 🔥 Learn why: St. Joseph is the model of fathers, workers, and protectors He is invoked for a happy death Saints like St. Teresa of Avila and St. Francis de Sales had deep devotion to him The Church calls him the Terror of Demons and Patron of the Universal Church 🙏 “Go to Joseph” — as Scripture says — and entrust your life to his powerful intercession. 0:00 – Introduction 0:25 – St. Joseph’s noble lineage and true glory 0:39 – His role as guardian of Jesus 0:54 – Clarification on the “brothers of Christ” 1:11 – Perpetual virginity of St. Joseph 1:26 – His mission: protector of Mary 1:42 – Joseph’s trial upon discovering Mary with child 2:07 – His charity and decision to leave quietly 2:23 – Angel reveals the Incarnation 2:38 – Lesson on charity and avoiding suspicion 3:02 – Joseph adores the newborn Christ 3:23 – “Faithful and prudent servant” – St. Bernard 3:48 – The dignity of St. Joseph 4:18 – His profound humility and hidden life 4:50 – His labor as a carpenter 5:06 – Flight into Egypt 5:40 – Trials permitted by God 6:02 – Joys and sorrows of Joseph’s life 6:25 – Egypt blessed by Christ’s presence 6:51 – Return to Israel 7:22 – Life in Nazareth 7:36 – Observance of the Law 7:53 – Finding Jesus in the Temple 8:16 – Three days of sorrow 8:33 – Christ teaching in the Temple 9:04 – “About my Father’s business” 9:38 – Christ’s obedience to Mary and Joseph 10:01 – Meditation on losing and finding Jesus 11:43 – Spiritual meaning of Christ withdrawing 12:01 – Death of St. Joseph 12:16 – Patron of a happy death 12:32 – “Go to Joseph” 13:10 – Devotion of the Saints to St. Joseph 13:49 – His virtues praised 14:13 – Feast of St. Joseph 14:20 – The Holy Family as model 14:52 – Living in union with God https://sensusfidelium.com/the-lives-of-the-fathers-martyrs-and-other-principal-saints/march/st-joseph/ Get Butler's Lives of the Saints here: https://loretopublications.idevaffiliate.com/idevaffiliate.php?id=102&url=1 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Support Catholic Businesses here - https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ Sensus Fidelium Press - https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ Sensus Fidelium Apps - https://sensusfidelium.tv/ Support Sensus Fidelium - https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 🙏🏻PLEASE HELP OUR CHANNEL GROW 🙏🏻 ▶ 1.
