Who was Saint Joseph? – the silent protector chosen by God

Saint Joseph, a descendant of King David, lived as a carpenter in Nazareth. Through a divine message, he accepted Mary's miraculous motherhood and committed himself fully to the mission entrusted to him. He guided and protected the Holy Family, including during the flight into Egypt. The Gospels describe him as just, faithful, obedient and courageous. Although Scripture records no spoken words from him, his life remains a profound testimony of holiness, humility and responsibility. He is the patron of fathers, families, workers, marriages, the Universal Church and all who seek God in daily life.
