In 1989, Pope John Paul II delivered an apostolic exhortation (a special document or letter) named Redemptoris Cus- tos (Guardian of the Redeemer) on the occasion of the centenary of Pope Leo XIII's encyclical dedicated to St. Joseph. In Redemptoris Custos, Pope John Paul II discusses the importance of Saint Jo- seph in the Holy Family, his role in the plan of redemption, and portrays the saint as a model of a loving father. At the end of the document, Pope John Paul II states that today we still have good reason to commend everyone to St. Joseph, and to ask for his intercession: "Most beloved father, dispel the evil of falsehood and sin...graciously assist us from heaven in our struggle with the powers of dark- ness...and just as once you saved the Child Jesus from mortal danger, so now de- fend God's holy Church from the snares of her enemies and from all adversity."

And this first "doing" became the beginning Mary, who was "betrothed" to Joseph. Mary uttered of "Joseph's way." The Gospels do not record any her fiat. The fact that Mary was "betrothed" to word ever spoken by Joseph along that way. But Joseph was part of the very plan of God. This is the silence of Joseph has its own special eloquence, pointed out by Luke and especially by Matthew. for thanks to that silence we can understand the The words spoken to Joseph are very significant: truth of the Gospel's judgment that he was "a just "Do not fear to take Mary your wife, for that which man" (Mt 1:19). has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit" (Mt One must come to understand this truth, for it 1:20). These words explain the mystery of Joseph's contains one of the most important testimonies wife: In her motherhood Mary is a virgin. In her, concerning man and his vocation. Through many "the Son of the Most High" assumed a human body generations the Church has read this testimony and became "the Son of Man." with ever greater attention and with deeper Addressing Joseph through the words of the angel, understanding, drawing, as it were, "what is new God speaks to him as the husband of the Virgin of and what is old" (Mt 13:52) from the storehouse of Nazareth. What took place in her through the the noble figure of Joseph. power of the Holy Spirit also confirmed in a 18. Above all, the "just" man of Nazareth possesses special way the marriage bond which already the clear characteristics of a husband. Luke refers existed between Joseph and Mary. God's to Mary as "a virgin betrothed to a man whose messenger was clear in what he said to Joseph: "Do name was Joseph" (Lk 1:27).
