Views 1225
On the Solemnity of St. Joseph, Husband of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Mar 19), Fr. Alan gives the homily on how Joseph is the greatest model of consecration to Jesus through Mary. The greatest of saints (after Jesus and Mary), entrusted by God to protect and provide for the Holy Family, despite his sublime mission did not balk at submitting himself to the sanctity of Mary and consecrating himself to Jesus through Her Immaculate Heart.
Ave Maria!
