An ideal gift for that special Joseph or Josephina in your life.
At Mary’s side in the Holy Family of Nazareth stands the figure of Saint Joseph. Through his work and generous presence, he cared for and defended Mary and Jesus, delivering them from the violence of the unjust by bringing them to Egypt. The Gospel presents Joseph as a just man, hard-working and strong. But he also shows great tenderness, which is not a mark of the weak but of those who are genuinely strong, fully aware of reality and ready to love and serve in humility. That is why he was proclaimed custodian of the universal Church. He too can teach us how to show care; he can inspire us to work with generosity and tenderness in protecting this world which God has entrusted to us.
-Pope Francis, Laudato si, 2015
Patron Saint of Workers
Jesus was the “Son of David” because Joseph was of Davidic lineage (Matthew 1:1-17). Joseph – the “artisan, craftsman, or carpenter” (tekton in Greek – Matthew 13:55) – is depicted in this solid bronze plaque standing and holding the Christ Child. Carpentry tools lean over on the right corner of the plaque. Saint Joseph could be considered the original “blue collar worker.” He is now, in fact, the patron saint of workers. Moreover, every May 1st, the Feast of “St. Joseph the Worker” is celebrated. This solid bronze plaque is the perfect gift for a birthday, confirmation, feast day, and for that hardworking, blue collar worker in your life.
Ordinary Work and Holiness
In Brothers of Men, René Voillaume of the Little Brothers of Jesus speaks about ordinary work and holiness: “Now this holiness (of Jesus) became a reality in the most ordinary circumstances of life, those of work, of the family and the social life of a village, and this is an emphatic affirmation of the fact that the most obscure and humdrum human activities are entirely compatible with the perfection of the Son of God….this mystery involves the conviction that the evangelical holiness proper to a child of God is possible in the ordinary circumstances of someone who is poor and obliged to work for his living.”
Matthew 13:54-56
Coming to his hometown, Jesus began teaching the people in their synagogue, and they were amazed. “Where did this man get this wisdom and these miraculous powers?” they asked. “Isn’t this the carpenter’s son?…Where then did this man get all these things?”
