The apostolic letter marking the 150th anniversary of the proclamation of Saint Joseph as patron of the universal Church, which also opened a Year of Saint Joseph. Written in the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic and dedicated to the hidden people who quietly carry others through a crisis, it contemplates Joseph under seven headings: a beloved father, a tender and loving father, an obedient father, an accepting father, a creatively courageous father, a working father, and a father in the shadows. It closes with a prayer to Saint Joseph and a note on the plenary indulgences granted for the Year.
