Thanks to a richness of varied sources, the figure of Joseph is carefully set out before us in the pages of this small CTS Companion. Drawing from Scripture, the Church Fathers, the teaching of Pope John Paul II, the history of the devotions to Joseph, images in art, and the liturgy and relevant feasts, the author presents a rare and unique portrait of the husband of the blessed Virgin Mary: father, worker, and guardian of our Redeemer.
