Descended from King David, Saint Joseph served as the earthly father of Jesus Christ and was the husband of the Virgin Mary, first appearing in the gospels of Matthew and Luke. This book tells the story of the Life of St. Joseph, as manifested by Our Lord, Jesus Christ to Maria Cecilia Baij, O.S.B., Abbess of the Benedictine Convent of St. Peter in Montefiascone, Italy, from 1743-1766.  A WONDERFUL book you will not want to put down!.....St. Paul of Mall prophesied that when devotion to St. Joseph becomes widespread throughout the world, then St. Joseph's body will be found incorrupt!
