The Silent Witness of Nazareth: St. Joseph: Spouse of Mary, Powerful Intercessor, Guardian of the Church

St. Joseph, the silent and steadfast guardian of Jesus and Mary, has long been the hidden cornerstone of the Church. In The Silent Witness of Nazareth, Fr. Serafino M. Lanzetta masterfully unveils the extraordinary role of St. Joseph in God's divine plan, inviting Catholics to rediscover his unique mission in salvation history and his powerful intercession for the Church today.

Drawing deeply from Scripture, Tradition, and the teachings of the saints, this book explores St. Joseph's preeminent sanctity, his virginal fatherhood, and his role as the protector of the Holy Family and the universal Church. Does the mission of Joseph belong to the order of the hypostatic union? How did he participate in the mystery of redemption? What is his role as the minister of the Eucharist and a model of Christian fatherhood? These profound theological insights, combined with reflections on St. Joseph's virtues, make this book an essential guide for all Catholics seeking a deeper devotion to the earthly father of Christ.

With a new litany and powerful Josephine prayers, The Silent Witness of Nazareth is more than just a theological work--it is a call to entrust ourselves to the care of St. Joseph, to imitate his virtues, and to go to him in our times of need. As crises of faith, fatherhood, and family loom large, the Church turns once more to her guardian. Ite ad Ioseph--Go to Joseph!
