  • Why is Saint Joseph the greatest saint?
  • (9:48) What is a virtue?
  • (18:18) Erma – He is my go to saint. He’s been there when I’ve asked for help with marriage. Pray to him when people are dying. Ask for him when I need help around the house.

(21:25) Break 1

  • (25:09) Trevor – St. Joseph is my confirmation saint. I pray the workman prayer each day before work.
  • (33:15) Bob – Looking for a reference from the catechism for a relationship between Joseph and Jesus. Is there anywhere I can look on this topic? Can’t find anything.

(37:30) Break 2

  • (38:48) Rita – 20 years ago, my nephew and I went into business and we named the business FJ for St. Joseph. Still in business. I go to him frequently for problems. I started to say a daily novena to St. Joseph and keep repeating it and enrolling people with their needs.
  • (43:11) Flo – I love Saint Joseph and virtues. Do you have more information to learn about virtues?
  • (46:28) Where do we need Saint Joseph in our world today?
