Kulonyaka ka-Saint Joseph, ikakhulukazi njengoba abaningi bebhekene nokungaqiniseki kwezomnotho, kungumthandazo omuhle ongawucabanga:
Ngingathanda ukuphetha ngomthandazo ophakanyiswe yisibonelo sikaSanta Joseph ngesikhathi lapho aphoqeleka ukuba abalekele eGibhithe ukuze asindise umntwana uJesu.
Baba, uphathise uSanta Joseph lokho owawukubaluleke kakhulu: umntwana uJesu noMama wakhe, ukubavikela ezingozini nasezinsongweni zababi. Siphe ukuthi singathola ukuvikelwa nosizo lwakhe. Kwangathi yena, owabelana ngezinhlupheko zalabo abalekela inzondo yabanamandla, angaduduza futhi avikele bonke abafowethu nodadewethu abaqhutshwa yimpi, ubumpofu kanye nesidingo sokushiya amakhaya abo namazwe abo ukuze bashiye njengababaleki izindawo eziphephile. Basize, ngokuncenga kukaSt.Joseph, ukuthi bathole amandla okukhuthazela, babaduduze ebuhlungwini futhi babe nesibindi ezilingweni. Nika labo ababemukela kancane uthando lothando lwalo baba olungileyo futhi ohlakaniphile, owayethanda uJesu njengendodana yeqiniso futhi wasekela uMariya kukho konke akwenzayo. Kwangathi yena, owathola isinkwa sakhe ngomsebenzi wezandla zakhe , ubheke labo empilweni ababone konke kususwa futhi babatholela isithunzi somsebenzi nokuthula kwekhaya. Sikucela uJesu Kristu, iNdodana yakho, owasindiswa nguJoseph oNgcwele ngokubalekela eGibhithe, futhi ethembele ekuncengeni kweNtombi uMariya, ayemthanda njengendoda ethembekile ngokwentando yakho.
