Excerpt from the book St. Joseph: his life, his virtues, his privileges, his power: a month of March in his honor - Though Holy Scripture does not tell us the place of St. Joseph’s birth, or make clear what his exact vocation was, we have the opinion of the learned Saints and Fathers of the Church to give us some indication of these things. And even though they are not essential to our faith, or even our devotion to St. Joseph, they can help us to form a fuller understanding of the man that he was and his place in salvation history.
