Describing St. Joseph as the \"extraordinary man who embodies the power of silence and yet still speaks to the hearts of all who turn to him,\" Lev juxtaposes his contemplative depictions with representations of his active life, affirming that he is not only a dreamer but a \"man of action.\"\u003cbr\u003eSure to become a cultural talking point, this lavishly illustrated book features captivating images of St. Joseph by Raphael, Michelangelo, Murillo, Giotto, Caravaggio, El Greco, and more. Let Lev take you on a journey to gaze upon the art of St. Joseph from all over the world, including fifth-century Rome, where St. Joseph was first depicted in mosaics in the Basilica of St. Mary Major. \u003cbr\u003eIn the past, St. Joseph came to the aid of a Church mired in corruption. Lev reflects, \"St. Joseph returned in the Age of Chivalry, riding in like a shining, albeit silent, knight, ready to serve and to defend the Church, his damsel in distress.\" St. Joseph stands no less ready to serve the faithful today, as we navigate the difficult shoals of the modern era.\u003cbr\u003eThis book illustrates the many faces of St. Joseph and his miraculous intercessions that brought unity in times of division. \"The Old Testament Joseph distributed bread in times of famine, and the New Testament Joseph brings to Egypt Jesus, who is, in the words of Pope Leo, 'the Bread of Life and the Food of reason that came down from heaven,'\" Lev explains. \u003cbr\u003eFor years, people have contemplated artistic depictions of St. Joseph in their homes and consecrated themselves to him. St. Josemaria Escriva exhorted the faithful to \"throw yourself into the strong arms of the father.\" Discover how St. Joseph is our most powerful intercessor, along with the Blessed Mother. Go to St. Joseph. Behold and listen to him!","published_at":"2022-01-08T10:54:25","created_at":"2022-01-08T10:54:25","vendor":"Sophia Institute Press","type":"BOOK","tags":["Subject_Saint Specific","Type_Books"],"price":1895,"price_min":1895,"price_max":1895,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":true,"all_variant_ids":[39712027803715],"variants":[{"id":39712027803715,"product_id":6641819320387,"product_handle":"the-silent-knight","title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"884-0375","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"image_id":null,"available":true,"name":"THE SILENT KNIGHT - Default Title","options":["Default Title"],"price":1895,"weight":410,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_quantity":3,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"deny","inventory_in_cart":0,"inventory_remaining":3,"incoming":false,"next_incoming_date":null,"taxable":true,"barcode":""}],"available":true,"images":["\/\/marytowngiftshop.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/884-0375.jpg?v=1643651517"],"featured_image":"\/\/marytowngiftshop.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/884-0375.jpg?v=1643651517","options":["Title"],"url":"\/products\/the-silent-knight"}
