St. Joseph is often called the Silent Saint—but in this bold and beautifully structured meditation, his voice resounds loud and clear as a spiritual father, guardian, and intercessor for the whole Church.
Ian Mahood leads readers through meditations on each title of the Litany of St. Joseph, grounding every reflection in Scripture and Church teaching. This is a doctrinally solid invitation to love the foster father of Jesus more deeply, a place where dogma and devotion meet.
Ideal for daily reflection, catechesis, or as a personal Josephite consecration, this book reveals the man who was entrusted with the highest of responsibilities, and the implications and meaning in our own lives. Let St. Joseph guide you to love Christ more fully, follow him more faithfully, and trust God's plan more completely.

Simple yet profound; orthodox yet surprising; theological yet personal and practical. This book is exactly what its title promises. I found both delight and profit from it, and I think all believing Catholics will find the same.
[This book] illuminates with clarity and grace not only the rich spiritual context of devotion to St Joseph, but also many of the central aspects of Christian discipleship. It is devotionally nourishing, intellectually insightful, and solidly orthodox; it is a spiritual treasure to sustain us in these turbulent times. I very highly recommend it.
This work places each of the titles in the Litany of St. Joseph into their scriptural and doctrinal context, providing the theological back-story to each title. While some devotional handbooks can be a bit syrupy and sentimental and thus off-putting for an educated reader, this work unites popular piety with intellectual rigour. It's the best commentary on the Litany I have read anywhere.
I can heartily recommend these Josephite meditations which are full of excellent doctrine, laid out in a lucid, lawyerly manner.
