Litany of St. Joseph: A Role Model for Fathers Today IV

VII. Joseph is an Ever-present Help for Modern Fathers

Saint Joseph shines as a beacon for modern fathers struggling amidst these cultural storms. He is the model of humble strength, silent perseverance, and tender authority. In an age that often mocks fatherhood or portrays it as irrelevant, Joseph offers an alternative vision. He fulfilled his vocation not through loud proclamations but through steady, faithful action. He protected Mary and Jesus, labored to provide for them, and guided the Holy Family in fidelity to God’s will. His intercession remains powerful. Fathers today are encouraged to turn to Saint Joseph for guidance, strength, and protection as they seek to lead their families in a hostile world.

Joseph as model, one of action. Speaks of action. No words are recorded. He shows what it means to be a man in the heart of the family. Bear weight and consequence of those decisions.

For men, prefer less talk, more action unlike women in general. Seeing what he does is sufficient to know the man.

Warren Carroll’s type of history, full of action.

Destruction of fatherhood begins in Enlightenment. Not married, no children, or a lot of children. fatherhood absent.

Men in women sports, wholescale loss of masculinity and femininity. Enlightenment, rationalism. Romanticism emotion overwrought.

Pill destroyed women in her ecology with synthetic hormones, pharmalogical drama along with forces not working to the good.
