Joseph, the Father of God By Michelle Arnold, 2013, Catholic.com
Protestants need not worry about Catholics worshipping Christ’s
mother and the saints. It’s taken us some 2,000 years to figure out four
dogmatic truths about the Blessed Virgin Mary—that she is the Moth-
er of God, a perpetual Virgin, immaculately conceived, and assumed
into heaven. With her husband St. Joseph, we haven’t even reached
first base. I sometimes think that many Catholics have shifted any dis-
comfort they might have with the ramifications of God choosing to be
born into a human family away from Mary and onto Joseph.
“Everything that went wrong had to have been Joseph’s fault! Poor
Joseph,” goes a common Catholic cry, evidently not realizing that
“mistakes” is not a synonym for “sins.” The Virgin Mary could have
gotten back late from her many errands of mercy in the village of Naz-
areth and not had a piping hot dinner on the table for her men when
they came home from a hard day’s work. Jesus could have incorrectly
measured a wooden beam for a project Joseph was working on and
thrown off a whole day’s work. Neither Mary nor Jesus would have
sinned in making those kind of mistakes, but they still might have
needed to apologize to Joseph, husband and father.
“Hold on a minute!” you might be saying. “What is this about Joseph being Jesus’ father? Didn’t you for-
get to qualify that with the word foster? Or perhaps you really meant to call Joseph Jesus’ guardian?”
It must be noted that calling Joseph Jesus’ “foster father” or “guardian” has an honorable Catholic pedi-
gree. Bl. John Paul II, as but one example, called Joseph “Guardian of the Redeemer” (the Latin is Redemptoris
Custos, which could also be translated as “Custodian of the Redeemer”) in his apostolic exhortation “on the per-
son and mission of Saint Joseph in the life of Christ and the Church.” The terms are used in an effort to protect the
dogmatic truth that Jesus Christ ultimately has no earthly origin—first and foremost, he is the divine Son of God
the Father; he is a divine person, not a human person (a man, yes, but not a human person).
Nonetheless, denying Joseph human fatherhood does a disservice to him and makes vulnerable an im-
portant piece of our understanding of the person and mission of Christ himself in the Church.
For if St. Joseph is merely a stepfather, a foster father, a guardian, or a caretaker, then he did not adopt Je-
sus and therefore is not Jesus’ legal father. If Joseph is not Jesus’ legal father, then he could not have handed on to
Jesus his own Davidic heritage. Whether or not Mary was a member of the House of David (she probably was), it
was Joseph’s adoption of Jesus that gave Jesus legitimacy, that gave him Joseph’s family, that made Jesus the Son
of David. By the laws of the time, Jesus’ Davidic heritage could be passed to him only by a son of David. If Jo-
seph was not truly Jesus’ father, as Jesus’ own Mother said that Joseph was (cf. Luke 2:48), then Jesus was not tru-
ly the Son of David. The great genealogies in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke that link Jesus to King David
(Matt. 1:1-17, Luke 3:23-38) would then be no more than legal fiction.
But that’s not all. If there is just one point at which Christianity is distinct from all other revealed religions,
it is in the Christian understanding of divine filiation, by which we understand that Christ became man so that we
might share in the divine life of the Trinity:

Continued….
“The Word became flesh to make us “partakers of
the divine nature”: “For this is why the Word became man,
and the Son of God became the Son of man: so that man, by
entering into communion with the Word and thus receiving
divine sonship, might become a son of God.” “For the Son
of God became man so that we might become God.” “The
only-begotten Son of God, wanting to make us sharers in his
divinity, assumed our nature, so that he, made man, might
make men gods” (CCC 460).
Or, as John put it more simply in his first epistle,
“See what love the Father has given us, that we should be
called children of God; and so we are” (1 John 3:1).
Let’s suppose for a minute that Joseph’s human fa-
therhood of Jesus is nothing more than a sham God used to
make the Holy Family look respectable to their neighbors in
Nazareth. Let’s suppose that Joseph was no more than the
man in the corner of the stable, given tidbits of responsibility here and there but never really a husband or father.
If that’s the case, then perhaps we should start to wonder what adoption means in the Christian economy. Is it a
real adoption that makes us God’s children, or is it another legal fiction?
In The Great Heresies, Hilaire Belloc once defined heresy as “the dislocation of some complete and self-
supporting scheme by the introduction of a novel denial of some essential part therein.” We see most readily that
the affirmation of the Blessed Virgin’s Motherhood of God is of utmost importance to Christian orthodoxy. I be-
lieve we need to begin to make a similar case for the fatherhood of St. Joseph.
Joseph is visited by the messenger as “Mary’s spouse,” as the one who in due time must give this name to
the Son to be born of the Virgin of Nazareth who is married to him. It is to Joseph, then, that the messenger turns,
entrusting to him the responsibilities of an earthly father with regard to Mary’s Son (Bl. John Paul II, Guardian of
the Redeemer 3).
Prayer to St. Joseph: To the Most Loving of Fathers Oh St. Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the throne of God, I place in
you all my interests and desires.
Oh St. Joseph, do assist me by your powerful intercession and obtain for me from your divine son all
spiritual blessings through Jesus Christ, our Lord; so that having engaged here below your heavenly
power, I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of Fathers.
Oh St. Joseph, I never weary contemplating you and Jesus asleep in your arms. I dare not approach
while he reposes near your heart. Press Him in my name and kiss his fine head for me, and ask him to
return the kiss when I draw my dying breath. St. Joseph, patron of departing souls, pray for us.
Amen

San José es modelo para esposos, papás Por Diócesis de Little Rock.org, 2017
“Quien no hallare maestro que le enseñe oración, tome este glorioso santo por maestro y no errará en el
camino” — Sta. Teresa de Ávila refiriéndose a San José
San José, esposo de María y padre adoptivo de Jesús, es el modelo de la paternidad. Su fe y obediencia a
Dios inspiraron su devoción por su familia. A medida que nos preparamos para celebrar el Día del Padre el 18 de
junio, podría ser útil estudiar su ejemplo en “Siete deberes de un padre católico”, donde el autor Randy Hain des-
taca atributos que sirven como una guía útil.
Rendirse ante Dios
Ser un hombre de oración
Comprende tu verdadera vocación
Invierte tiempo en tu familia
Sé valiente
Practica el despego material
Amar a nuestras esposas
“Miremos el inspirador ejemplo de San José, Santo patrono de los padres de familia, de los trabajadores y
de la Iglesia, por su obediencia, humildad, abnegación, coraje y el amor que les mostró a María y Jesús. Si pode-
mos emular a San José, aunque sea un poco cada día, estaremos cerca de convertirnos en el hombre y padre que
debemos ser” Hain escribió.
El Santo Papa Juan Pablo II destacó a San José para explicar la comprensión católica de la paternidad en
su exhortación apostólica de 1989: Redemptoris Custos (Custodio del Redentor: Sobre la Figura y la Misión de
San José en la Vida de Cristo y de la Iglesia).
“Encomendándonos, por tanto, a la pro-
tección de (San José) a quien Dios mismo
‘confió la custodia de sus tesoros más preciosos
y más grandes’, aprendamos al mismo tiempo de
él a servir a la ‘economía de la salvación’. Que
San José sea para todos un maestro singular en el
servir a la misión salvífica de Cristo, tarea que en
la Iglesia compete a todos y a cada uno: a los es-
posos y a los padres, a quienes viven del trabajo
de sus manos o de cualquier otro trabajo, a las
personas llamadas a la vida contemplativa, así
como a las llamadas al apostolado” (Redemptoris
Custos, Núm. 32).
La importancia de la presencia de San
José en la vida de Jesús nos recuerda cuán impor-
tante son los papás en nuestras vidas. Lo si-
guiente ofrece una variedad de recursos para ayu-
darle a celebrar a los papás en su vida el Día del
Padre.
