R.P. Champeau / V.A. Poirson - Vie de Saint Joseph - 1888

Charming illustrated edition of this work, which is part of the 19th-century Catholic hagiographic tradition, aiming to exalt the figure of the nourishing father of Christ as a model of virtue, piety, and devotion.

The work, aimed at a religious and family readership, develops an inspiring narrative that recounts the episodes of Joseph's life, his role in the Holy Family, his exemplarity in work, humility, and faithfulness to divine Providence.

It reflects the growing importance given to the figure of Saint Joseph in 19th-century Catholic spirituality, particularly within the context of popular devotions and pastoral initiatives aimed at promoting his cult.

This book illustrates the role of religious biographies as tools for moral and spiritual formation, combining narrative storytelling, theological reflection, and practical exhortation, and it contributes to the dissemination of an accessible and universal model of holiness.
