Joseph and Mary...the same noble spirit and the same holiness
Let us talk now
about the relationship between Saint Joseph and Our Lady. It is a natural
law that people wanting to unite in wedlock, as husband and wife, share a
strong resemblance in their physical and spiritual qualities.
This is why the only man who could be chosen as the husband of the Blessed
Virgin Mary, by divine predisposition, had to possess similar nobility in
the temporal order and similar holiness in the spiritual order.
But since God's works are perfect, it was fitting that this resemblance
continue to exist beyond the limits of this life, and last in heaven
through all eternity; so that, as the Bride was first in glory, the
Bridegroom has true precedence over all the saints.
