God’s Carpenter

Fr. Simon Cleary, LC

St. Joseph's Life in Four Short Stories

Who was St. Joseph? Why did Jesus want him as his foster-father? Pope Francis, declaring 2021 the Year of St. Joseph, invites everyone to “discover in Joseph—the man who goes unnoticed, a daily, quiet and hidden presence—an intercessor, a support and a guide in times of trouble.” He also states that “In Joseph, Jesus saw the tender love of God.” God chose St. Joseph as His favorite carpenter—and to be the man who taught Jesus how to be a carpenter. But St. Joseph never speaks a single line in all the Gospels. How to discover someone who is so quiet? ‘God’s Carpenter’ lets us discover Mary’s husband and Jesus’ foster-father. The four short stories of his life St. Joseph as he was: simple and down-to-earth, genuinely in love with Mary and the man who adopted Jesus as his son. They bring us into his life, and invite us into the heart of the Holy Family.

In 2009, Alex was asked to be the Atlanta RC Renewal Coordinator for the Atlanta Locality to help the RC members with the RC renewal process.
