Year of Saint Joseph Dec. 20, 2020 to Dec. 20, 2021
“In his apostolic letter ‘Patris corde’ (With a Fathers’ Heart) Pope Francis describes Saint Joseph as a beloved father, a tender and loving father, an obedient father, an accepting father, a father who is creatively courageous,
a working father, a father in the shadows. Taking a cue from ‘The Shadow of the Father’ - a book by Polish writer Jan Dobraczynski- Pope Francis describes Joseph’s fatherhood of Jesus as the
earthly shadow of the heavenly Father. The Holy Father wrote Patris corde against the backdrop of the COVID-19
pandemic, which he says has helped us see more clearly the importance of ordinary people who, though far from the limelight, exercise patience and offer
hope every day. In this they resemble Saint Joseph, a man who goes unnoticed, a daily, discreet and hidden presence.”
