Description
Tan Books & Publishers Inc. The Life and Glories of St. Joseph by Edward Healy Thompson
No words of St. Joseph are recorded In Scripture. In fact little mention is made of him there. Yet despite these seeming limitations the Church nonetheless possesses an indescribably rich knowledge of St. Joseph and of his cultus. This book will astound most readers both with its scope and with its profundity. Based mainly on Scripture but supported also by Tradition and the depositions of saints it is a carefully reasoned analysis of the entirety of that great saints role in the history of Salvation and the life of the Church. Includes details about his spiritual life and noble lineage; how he was prefigured in the Old Testament; his relationship to Mary and Jesus; why he has been named by Pope Pius IX The Patron of the Universal Church; and so forth. Many beautiful insights. 516 pgs. PBshow more
