Summary/Abstract: Joseph is the character of the New Testament who shows a strong and generous faith; thanks to his faith Jesus and his most holy Mother, Mary, are welcomed into human history and fulfill the plan of salvation. He committed himself to perfect and industrious obedience to divine commands, however burdensome and unexpected, manifesting himself as a wise servant of God. He was able to discern the divine will with certainty in very difficult moments. He showed that form of wisdom that made him understand the highest values of life and existence, becoming an intimate participant in the thought of God, in His plans for the salvation and sanctification of the human person. Joseph translated wisdom into a continuous and tireless mission as a father, worker and human instrument involved in the development of the events that brought salvation to all of humanity.
