Best Saint Quotes About Saint Joseph

 

We don't have any words from Jesus' father on earth, but we have so many reflections from the saints who have loved him dearly.

Here are some of our favorites:

Padre Pio: Ite ad Joseph. Go to Joseph with extreme confidence, because I do not remember having asked anything from St. Joseph, without having obtained it readily.

Thomas Aquinas: It is true that the other saints enjoy great power in heaven, but they ask as servants, and do not command as masters. Saint Joseph, to whose authority Jesus was subject on earth, obtains what he desires from his kingly foster Son in heaven.

St. Teresa of Avila: The Lord wants us to understand that just as he was subject to St. Joseph on earth — for since bearing the title of father, being the Lord’s tutor, Joseph could give the child commands — so in heaven God does whatever he commands.

Blessed Conchita: How greatly you suffered at the vision of her [Mary’s] martyrdom without you, the solitude of the wife whom you loved so well. Oh what martyrdom wracked your soul at the fore-vision of the Passion and the seven swords which would pierce the Immaculate Heart of Mary. You dreamed of her alone, alone without Jesus — and this affliction embittered your happy life.

St. Bernadette Soubirous: If anyone cannot find a master to teach him how to pray, let him take this glorious saint as his master, and he will not go astray.

A Lenten Prayer to Begin Each Day

Dear Lord,

As this day dawns along my Lenten journey, open my eyes to how I can follow you more closely along the road of love and self-sacrifice. Give me a heart that’s grateful so as to recognize your countless blessings and generosity so as to share all I have with others.

May I comfort you in your Holy Passion by comforting others in distress I meet along my daily road — especially the poor and forgotten. May I show true sorrow for my failings with a sincere resolution to overcome my faults with the help of your infinite mercy.

I entrust all this to you through your loving Mother, whose tender love I trust will guide my steps to lasting hope and eternal joy found only in you.

AMEN
