Society goes by way of the family, and the family goes by way of the father. To restore and revitalize the family, the domestic church, a father must become who has been created to a father on earth like the Father in heaven. To ensure that a father does not pass on his heritage of past failings and mistakes to his children he must, like the Patriarch Jacob, and the exemplar father St. Joseph, accept humiliations, receive humility and wrestle with God, to become the father he is destined to be. In Joseph's Prayer of Perseverance you will discover how to detach yourself from your disordered past to build a future for your family.
This book takes you through the constitutive elements of the prayer of perseverance within fatherhood, which are: (1) Humility, (2) Wrestling with God: the virtue of fortitude, & (3) Establishing the Domestic Church. This reading journey goes through each element above by comparing Saint Joseph with his old-testament pre-figuring type, the holy patriarch, Jacob, in order to get several wise lessons. This book is the second part of a four volume series. Very recommended for all fathers out there.👍
