This St, Joseph statue and child Jesus is handpainted with delicate details. St. Joseph is the foster father to God, Our Father. He held Jesus' hand, carried him and guided him. With profound humility, love and perfect obidence to God's will he protected his spouse, Mary and his son, Jesus. St. Jospeh promptly listened to God's commands and lived as the head of the Holy Family is the saint to call on for so many of our needs. May we turn to St. Joseph with our causes and our desire to be closer to Christ and through him, fall deeper in love with our heavenly Father. 
 
This St. Joseph statue makes a lovely Father's Day gift or a gift for the home to remind you to come to St. Joseph for any cause you want to bring to his intercession.
 
“Some Saints are privileged to extend to us their patronage with particular efficacy in certain needs, but not in others; but our holy patron St. Joseph has the power to assist us in all cases, in every necessity, in every undertaking.”
St. Thomas Aquinas
 
Prayer for St. Joseph's Protection
Oh, St. Joseph, whose protection is so great, so prompt, so strong,
before the throne of God, I place in you all my interests and desires.
Oh, St. Joseph, do assist me by your powerful intercession,
and obtain for me from your Divine Son
all spiritual blessings, through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
So that, having engaged here below your heavenly power,
I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of fathers.
Oh, St. Joseph, I never weary contemplating you and Jesus asleep in your arms;
I dare not approach while he reposes near your heart.
Press him in my name and kiss his fine head for me and
ask him to return the kiss when I draw my dying breath.
St. Joseph, patron of departing souls - pray for me.
Amen
