Terror of the Evil Spirits
St Joseph has a silent way of his very own in being Protector of the Church.
Odd is also: when you put your trust in him, you will find a peculiar, deep warmth and security. He was, is and remains simply father. Do not forget, Mary and Joseph, the greatest Saints of Heaven, they have not come forward with great official appearances, speeches or whatever. Silently and holily they have discharged the duties of their station. Mary washed the nappies, stood at the stove, ran the household. Joseph, being a simple carpenter, worked as a day-labourer to gain a livelihood for his family. He became great with simple work.
And yet he is now in Heaven far above any Pope. – With his silence, modesty and humbleness, with his still being misjudged he has become Protector of the Church, terror of the evil spirits.
In exorcisms I have experienced myself what it means: „St Joseph, you terror of the evil spirits …” – He is indeed the terror of the evil spirits!
