Consecration to St. Joseph - Day #13 (FEB. 19)

     Day 13 of Morning Light's on-air Consecration to St. Joseph, following the book by Fr. Donald Calloway.  Today, “Foster Father of the Son of God.”  Christians use many terms to describe the fatherhood of St. Joseph.  And while none of those titles are found in the New Testament, they’re all legitimate ways of describing him - but “foster father” is most common.  In ancient Jewish custom, the legal responsibility of naming a child belonged to the father.  St. Joseph’s role of naming the Savior is meant to signify to the world that he is the legal father of Jesus.
