Sleeping Saint Joseph 6" L Figurine
Description:
An amazingly crafted and carefully painted "Sleeping St. Joseph" figurine inspired by the well-renowned artist Michael Adams is Pope Francis' favorite. He brought a statue of this in Argentina to keep near his room where he writes his prayer requests to the saint on paper and puts these underneath the statue. This is a quite symbolic position of the Gospel: it was during his sleep that an angel of the Lord communicates with St. Joseph. Sometimes we need help to quiet ourselves so we can hear God's voice; help to get up, or simply feel weighed down by our troubles, let us take a moment or perhaps slip a note under his sleeping statue, near his heart and pray that through the intercession of St. Joseph, he will guide and protect us.

Saint Story:
As we start this new year, let us pray through the intercession of Saint Joseph for chaste men, men who can uphold the dignity of women, men who respect their children's freedom, and protect the sanctity of life. Men can lead their families on their knees by praying and praising the Good Father.
Below is the prayer Pope Francis encourages us all to pray together.
Hail, Guardian of the Redeemer,
Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
To you, God entrusted his only son;
in you Mary placed her trust;
with you, Christ became man.
Blessed Joseph, to us too,
show yourself a father
and guide us in the path of life.
Obtain for us grace, mercy, and courage,
and defend us from every evil.
Amen.
