Consecration to St. Joseph is a transformative devotion that has increased in popularity and practice in the last few years. At its core, this devotion is a response to the Church's urging for the faithful to "Go to Joseph." We can read in the Old Testament that when Egypt was struck by a famine, the people were told by pharaoh to, "Go to Joseph." For the last 150 years, in the midst of hardship and turmoil, the Church echoes these words from Genesis by offering St. Joseph to be our patron and protector. Yet, despite the recent emphasis on this devotion, there are many faithful who are still unfamiliar with the power of this Consecration, and are unsure of where to start. In, Go to Joseph: 10 Day Preparation for Consecration to St. Joseph , author Renzo Ortega, takes readers through the life of St. Joseph, as illustrated by the Gospels, and uncovers the integral role St. Joseph played in the life of Christ. Ortega weaves a combination of scriptural analysis, and Catholic tradition, with prayerful insight in order to prepare readers to consecrate themselves to Jesus through the Patronage and Protection of St. Joseph. It took me 3 years to get here. Before all of the hype, before the popularity, and before it was declared "The Year of St. Joseph," I was a struggling husband and father in need of direction. And in the midst of my struggles, God introduced me to St. Joseph. It might sound too good to be true but, through St. Joseph, God gave me an incredible gift. The direction, guidance, and consolation I desperately needed came in the form of a silent man from Nazareth. St. Joseph's life changed the way I saw my own. I learned how to let my faith transform every aspect of my life. I became a student of Joseph's chaste heart, and I slowly learned how to love my family the way they deserved. For years I left my personal reflections locked away on the cloud with no intention of making them public. That is, until I felt a pull to share what I learned. Maybe there were others who needed Joseph too? That is why, in the year of St. Joseph, Two Become Family published this book! Now you too can discover the difference St. Joseph makes. I can't wait for you to dive in.
