BIBLE STUDY on the Faith of Joseph |
|
BIBLE STUDY on the Faith of Joseph · Christian men are called to serve and give their
life to Christ, as Christ gave his life for the Church and our sins. We all
have to answer to someone. Men are called to the responsibility of serving
the church, their wives and family, to die to their own selfish will and be
leaders, as Christ died for us. St. Joseph provides a another role model of
the humble servant. |

St. Joseph Feast in
Contessa Entellina is a special tradition like the one Sicilians brought to
New Orleans and other places like
New York, and
Boston. In
Italy, the Feast of St. Joseph, is considered to be like the American,
Father’s Day. St Joseph’s Day should be
celebrated with passion and food. Consider increasing your understanding with a
book of St. Joseph to better appreciate his celebrated day and feast. (San Giuseppe)
St. Joseph is honored as the
foster-father of Jesus and he was the son of Jacob, in the line of the Holy
remnant of believers. Joseph was a humble man in choosing to believe by faith
and support Mary’s role in the birth of Christ through the Holy Spirit.
Joseph is a role model of the servant father and
husband. Celebrating St Joseph Day is not
about idolizing food, but to give thanks and praise to God for His grace and
mercy, sending Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour. |
