There you are.

Alright.

My hair look all jacked up man.

It looks way better than mine.

Ehh! Picture to yourself the sanctity of all the patriarchs of old.

That long line of successive generations, which is the mysterious latter of Jacob, culminating

in the person of the Son of God.

See how great was the faith of Abraham, the obedience of Isaac, the courage of David,

the wisdom of Solomon.

After you have formed the highest

opinion of these saints, remember that Joseph is at the top of the ladder, at the head of the saints,

the kings, the prophets, the patriarchs, that he is more faithful than Abraham, more obedient

than Isaac, more generous than David, wiser than Solomon, in a word, as superior in grace as he is close to the source.

Jesus, sleeping in his arms.

That's an eye-opening quote from Blessed William Joseph Shamanate about the topic of today's podcast,

the great yet somewhat mysterious Saint Joseph.
