“Ite ad Ioseph!”
Go to Joseph!
“As God appointed Joseph, son of the Patriarch Jacob, over all the land of Egypt to store up corn for the people, so, when the fullness of time was come, and He was about to send to earth His only-begotten Son, the Savior of the world, He chose another Joseph, of whom the first had been the type, and He made him Lord and Ruler of His household and possessions, the Guardian of His greatest treasures.” Pius IX, Quemadmodum Deus, 1870
Such are the words of Pope Bl.

The Book of Joseph, by José Rodrigues
I saw you, I believe, on Grace Force and made a note to purchase as a birthday gift for my
oldest son. In the past year I told him he makes me think of St. Joseph, quiet,
dependable.........steadfast.
I greatly enjoyed this work! I had read Fr Calloway's Conscrecration to St Joseph a few years back (and enjoyed it!). I was surprised to learn even more about St Joseph in this "The Book of Joseph." This book was an incredible reminder of God's Providence--- how God gave us a great Saint who can walk with us no matter where we are in life...in our anxiety, in our uncertainty, in our poverty, and in our family life. I highly recommend you adding this to your spiritual reading.
Many books on St. Joseph are either overly academic or too superficial, offering little substance. This one is different—it is the best I’ve read on the subject.
It presents a rich account of his life, including his early years, family background, and life with Mary and Jesus, along with insights from Church-approved mystics. The book also includes prayers, devotions, feast days, art, quotes from popes and saints, and even a section on relics.
Its depth and solid teaching are evident in its Imprimatur. The Book of Joseph, recommended by St. Joseph devotee Fr. Calloway, is a deeply rewarding and well-rounded resource.
