Description

Saldaña Mostajo shows how Joseph, considered a protector and guide for centuries, speaks today to our weary and suffering world through his faithful character and trusting actions, because he sees by faith God's intervention in the lives of Mary and Jesus for the life of the world.

"Joseph... invites us to leave known references and be guided by intuition. He also invites us not to plunge into formless chaos but to hear how this intuition resonates in our own hearts the rhythm that God was marking in his. Joseph teaches us how to close our eyes and open them in a different way...with the eyes of the heart."
--from the foreword
