The Gospels tell us almost nothing about St. Joseph, yet his life is full of spiritual treasures. Michel Gasnier O.P., here shows you where to find them and how they can enrich your own relationship with God. In this series of brief meditations he explores St. Josephs work as a carpenter, his marriage, his character, the flight into Egypt, his return to Nazareth, Simeons prophecy, and more. He gives you an enlightening portrait of this man who remains one of the Churchs most extraordinary saints and intercessors.


Joseph the Silent is the appropriate title for a book about an extraordinary man who was chosen by God to marry the virgin Mary, the Mother of Jesus, who plays such an incredible role in salvation history, whose involvement is spelled out in Scripture (especially the Gospels of Matthew and Luke), but who never speaks a single word to us. Nothing he ever said is recorded there.
