St Joseph 8" Home Protection Holy Icon

“Even when he is asleep, he is taking care of the church! Yes! We know that he can do that. So when I have a problem, a difficulty, I write a little note and I put it underneath St. Joseph, so that he can dream about it! In other words I tell him: Pray for this problem! Do not forget St. Joseph who sleeps! Jesus slept with the protection of Joseph.” - Pope Francis said. 

We also must rest in prayer and dream.

“The Scriptures seldom speak of St. Joseph, but when they do, we often find him resting, as an angel reveals God’s will to him in his dreams,” Pope Francis said. “Joseph’s rest revealed God’s will to him. In this moment of rest in the Lord, as we pause from our many daily obligations and activities, God is also speaking to us.”

The devotion to St. Joseph emphasizes Pope Francis’ focus on the importance of the family, quoting his Jan. 16 speech: “But like St. Joseph, once we have heard God’s voice, we must rise from our slumber; we must get up and act.”

“Pope Francis said on that occasion that faith does not distance us from the world. On the contrary, it brings us closer. For that reason, St. Joseph is a model father for the Christian family. He overcame the difficulties of life because he rested with God.
