Saint Joseph the Carpenter

“Who hath given me the Son of the Most High to be a Son to me? I was jealous of Thy Mother, and I thought to put her away, and I knew not that in her womb was hidden a mighty treasure, that should suddenly enrich my poor estate. David the king sprang from my race, and wore the crown; and I have come to a very low estate, who instead of a king am a carpenter. Yet a crown hath come to me, for in my bosom is the Lord of crowns” From a beautiful hymn by St. Ephrem the Syrian

Be sure to grab a copy of my graphic novel “Anastasis: the Harrowing of Hades”. If you’ve read it, leave a quick review on Amazon and tell your friends and parish about it! 🙂
