The book complied by Paul Thigpen, The Life of Saint Joseph as Seen by the Mystics. Often thought of as the silent Saint - The Blessed Saint Joseph, is a quiet and strong figure. The man who was the foster father of Jesus on this earth is a somewhat mysterious figure often prompting questions or quick judgements. In some ways he very much in the background and not a single word he spoke was recorded in sacred scripture. This for reasons only God can know.
The book is a narrative account of Saint Joseph's life as seen through the visions of Catholic mystics throughout the centuries. The author compiled and arranged the texts of these visions into this volume, as a way of possibly deepening the understanding of the life of this incredible father.
The life of Saint Joseph is a trial of suffering and of great honor and of perfection of virtue.
The writings of the mystic visionaries are a vivid account of well known bible stories, but the way they are revealed gives one’s heart a new outlook and a more detailed understanding of the Holy Family.
The volume leaves you enlightened, uplifted and appreciative of the life of the Holy family, particularly the marriage between Mary and Joseph and their unique task of raising the Savior of the world, in poverty and in many dangerous situations.
The book will inspire even a hardened heart and touch it with a loving tenderness that can only be delivered through mystical sanctity.
Here to speak with me about the Life of Saint Joseph - as Seen by the Mystics is Paul Thigpen.
