St Joseph Quotes

“Therefore St. John the Baptist and the angels are not exalted by having Joseph placed beneath them, neither are they lowered by his occupying his proper post. His superior glory is no detriment in Heaven to their own; rather does it add to their radiance, even as the lower ranks of angelic spirits are illuminated by those above them.”
― Edward Healy Thompson, The Glories Of Saint Joseph

“Ancient law lays down clearly that if a treasure be discovered in a house or in a field, it belongs, by right, to the proprietor of the house or of the ground. This law gives great advantages to the glorious St. Joseph, for the Incarnation took place in his house, now the chapel of Loretto.”
― Pere Binet SJ, Divine Favors Granted to St Joseph

“So much value does the Almighty set on the proper order in created things, that, though Jesus was the true God and His Mother so highly exalted above St. Joseph in sanctity, He did not permit the arrangements of this journey to proceed from His Son nor from His Mother, but from St. Joseph, who was the head of this Family. God intended to teach all mortals, that He wishes all things to be governed by the natural order set up by His Providence; and that the inferiors and subjects of the mystical body of the Church, even thougj they may excel in virtue and in certain other respects, must obey and submit to their superiors and prelates in the visible order.”
