Episode 44: "Joseph was an eyewitness to this birth, which took place in conditions that, humanly speaking, were embarrassing—a first announcement of that 'self-emptying' (cf. Phil 2:5–8) which Christ freely accepted for the forgiveness of sins" – Pope Saint John Paul II

Pondering our Lord's birth in a lowly manger, author and host Julia Monnin shares thoughts in this episode on St. Joseph. Specifically, she focuses on St. Joseph being a model of silence and prayer for us as well as a model of faith, obedience, chastity, tenderness, and hope. 

St. Joseph, Man of Silence, Pray for Us!
