St. Joseph teaches us to see and taking care for the people overlooked by the world said Pope Francis. The Holy Father was speaking to the general audience.
“Joseph, who is a carpenter from Nazareth and who trusts in God’s plan for his young fiancée and for himself, reminds the Church to keep her eyes on what the world deliberately ignores,” the Pope said in the Vatican’s Paul VI Hall.
The pope introduced a new theme which will be focused on the spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary before the Year of St. Joseph draws to a close on 8 December.
Pope Francis announced last year that the Catholic Church would celebrate a Year of St. Joseph in honor of the 150th anniversary of the saint’s proclamation as patron of the Universal Church.
