“When I have a problem, a difficulty, I write a piece of paper and I put him under Saint Joseph so he can dream about it. This means to pray for this problem”he added.
On the return flight from Strasbourg (France) to the Vatican, after his visit to the European Parliament and the Council of Europe, the Pontiff noted: “Every time I have asked Saint Joseph for something, he has granted it to me”.
In December 2018, in the homily of the Mass that he presided at Casa Santa Marta, the Pope indicated about the Holy Custos that “this man who took charge of paternity and mystery is said to be the shadow of the Father: the shadow of God the Father”.
“And if the man Jesus learned to say ‘dad’, ‘father’, to his Father whom he knew as God, it was thanks to the fact that he learned it from life, from the testimony of Joseph: the man who guards, the man who makes growth, the man who carries forward paternity and mystery, who takes nothing for himself.”
