The Litany of St. Joseph

   
   "The Litany of St. Joseph"
   
   You have to go to the underground to unearth the TRUTH.  There were many non-canonized Gospels before Saint Irenaeus knew that just as there are Four Winds, there should be Four Gospels, like unto Ezekiel's vision of the Four Living Creatures; moreover, we get the reality of Saint Joseph in many of these hidden texts.  I will not give the entire Litany, not out of disrespect, but so that you can seek it out yourself--here are some aspects:
  
The Litany of St. Joseph:

St. Joseph,
Renowned offspring of David,
Light of Patriarchs,
Spouse of the Mother of God,
Chaste guardian of the Virgin,
Foster father of the Son of God,
Diligent protector of Christ,
Head of the Holy Family,
Joseph most just,
Joseph most chaste,
Joseph most prudent,
Joseph most strong,
Joseph most obedient,
Joseph most faithful,
Mirror of patience,
Lover of poverty,
Model of artisans,
Glory of home life,
Guardian of virgins,
Pillar of families,
Solace of the wretched,
Hope of the sick,
Patron of the dying,
Terror of demons,
Protector of Holy Church . . .
