sacrificing itself as Jesus sacrificed himself for us and feeds us with his Eucharist

It is hard to overstate her importance in Catholic history in the West

St. Joseph – Mosaic Originally from St. Peter’s Basilica at the Vatican – Catholic Art Print the new testament sacrificing itself as Jesus sacrificedSt. Joseph Mosaic from St. Peter's Basilica at the Vatican Joseph is the quiet one in the Gospels. He is the protector of the Holy Family. He was chosen as the earthly model of manhood for Jesus, so we can be sure he was nearly perfect in virtue. His strength and nobility of character come across beautifully in this inspiring mosaic from the walls of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. Joseph is an ideal model for all men who seek to be Godly men.
