The saints are all hard working St. Joseph is not only the foster father of Jesus, is also is the Holy by the calloused hands that held it to his shop and the Son of God who taught him to earn a living.
Alberione proposed this model worker for Paolini "missionaries of the metropolis in the world of mass media.
"The whole Gospel is moving into employment. The saints were great workers: a proportion of years lived, how they work and in how many directions! Is true, they gave first place to the inner work, then this fruit industriousness External, so wonderful, fruitful, humanitarian "(Don Giuseppe Giacomo Alberione).
The Blessed Giacomo Alberione (1884-1971), founder of the Pauline Family - five congregations and four institutes secular - is now recognized even in refractory Catholic activities nell'insidioso an organizational genius of the mass media, which he understood, in the early twentieth century, the importance for new evangelization.
This Piedmontese priest of the diocese of Alba, physically frail, but with indomitable and enlightened 'stubbornness' had a particular devotion to the carpenter of Nazareth, the holy from the calloused hands.
Since the first year of foundation (1914) wanted his kids Wednesday to dedicate the devotion of the foster father of Jesus himself gave the example of taking the name of Joseph to the religious profession. He had composed a beautiful "crown" in which, under the traditional securities with which the Church honors the "vir iustus" the right man mentioned in the Gospel, as well as the admiration and praise, there are preferred the dynamic aspects of his exceptional prerogative of the master work of the Son of God
Prayer is divided into seven parts in it are highlighted many aspects of personal privilege of the saint: the Christological aspect, which emphasizes the intimacy of life with Mary and Jesus' love in the silence and active ", the educational aspect," enlighten us in learning more about the purpose for which we were created "the social" model of each worker, friend the poor, consoling the suffering and emigrants, blacksmith and teacher working in Nazareth the Son of God, "the familiar" soft conversations you had with Jesus, shared work, sharing with Mary and the Son penis and consolations; the ecclesial aspect: as head of the Holy Family continues its mission in the mission of protecting the universal Church: "defend the Church from the errors of bad, like a day didst save the threatened life of Jesus from the hands of Herod" l ' apostolic aspect, with Mary was the first cooperator that the Son of God chose to save humanity, the eschatological aspect, the patron of the dying, "you who have earned a transit happy with the ineffable consolation assistance of Jesus and Mary. "

patron of workers
latter aspect is a particular interest in the life of Alberione: June 16, 1917 , as documented in the register of Guanellian Pious Union of St. Joseph Transit, it states precisely the name of Alberione.
three years in Alba was born the first congregation of Saint Paul, who had a few students to whom the founder and served as master chef. In autarky regime (there was the First World War in progress), ate polenta and chestnut. It could, and studying how to overcome the short time dedicated to grammar Alberione had composed an original prayer, called "secret of success" to tell the Lord, we are ignorant of everything, but you do so within one hour of study we learn how our peers learn in a week ...
His boys had learned the trade of printers: printing and spreading the diocesan weekly Journal d'Alba. In this lifestyle, close to the figure of the 'owner' St. Paul (if born today would be the great apostle to the Gentiles, the journalist, he repeated Alberione) stood out so that the artisan of Nazareth, the faithful of God to the cooperator redemption of humanity adrift, Joseph man active listening and response, take ownership 'putative' of Jesus, allowing him to acquire citizenship in the legal and religious descendants of Abraham and David. But paternity was not adopted with the full assumption of duties arising from it, human, educational and spiritual for the son of his wife, Mary.

Silent protagonist in the story
Giuseppe therefore deserved to get a leading role in the plan of redemption, as the "patriarch of the New Testament," as stated in the New Dictionary of Mariology, FSP editions of "good and faithful servant , Joseph did not come by chance in the history of salvation nor is there left on the sidelines. The high position and the corresponding confidence reposed in him by God himself, entrusting the most precious treasures: Jesus and Mary, supposedly from God, along with exceptional grace, even a special vocation, similar to that of the prophets. "
L 'statement is shared by the Protestant theologian Karl Barth, according to which Joseph is a biblical figure which he may be an ecumenical consensus since he made Christ the same task that the Church should play.
Devotion to St. Joseph, according Alberione, perspective is highly relevant for those who are engaged in the modern. There has been talk of decline such devotion, due to the loss of traditional values, such as parental authority and family sociology. For the seven sorrows of Alphonsian memory may have to add another? Ignoring even the corresponding joys ... In
decline of religious fervor, of which even within the Catholic world we see signs - and it is not necessary to take the tests - more than ever-emergence of the biblical call for "ite to Joseph", please contact Giuseppe.
Blessed Giaccardo: If you think you ...
of this treasure did call the faithful collaborator Alberione, Father Joseph Timothy Giaccardo, the first priest whose name is Pauline among the blessed (1989) before that of the founder (2003), having preceded the grave of one quarter of a century.
Blessed Joseph Timothy Giaccardo (1896-1948) was a good imitator of the First Master (so called the Paulines founder) also in devotion to St. Joseph, but overcame the outward expressions. Humble and obedient to the instructions of Alberione, had the task of administering the community that was visibly enlarging (new houses and an imposing temple Alba), although the accounts were perpetually red. Invoices and payment notices
lay on his work table, or rather under the lead of the holy statue of Providence, with a tag in beautiful calligraphy: San Jose you think. Naive or trust is not noticeable from a financial standpoint, but the expectation of the providential intervention of St. Joseph had a happy ending to the point that Don Giaccardo always managed to put back on track accounts, such as Alba to Rome, where he was assigned in 1926 to establish the first branch.

Here for the poor economy does not add up almost never on track and then don Giaccardo placed next to the effigy of the saint is a supplication stronger: "If you do not think, we bad ....
One day he thought that the saint of the Providence show stubbornly deaf to his repeated appeals for help. The boys waited in typography sound of the bell impatiently release (understandable after the unexpected extension of working time, the past fifteen!). And finally, the response of the saint, a stranger knocked at the door and gave an envelope containing the money to the expense of the entire week.
work sanctifies and makes a vow of poverty
"Pray and work", says the Benedictine motto. St. Paul is more explicit: those who do not eat, holy words that Christians were told 18 centuries before Karl Marx. The work makes us like Jesus and St. Joseph Alberione This he repeated it to his boys. Each expression of
human is modeled on a Christian of the two holy artisans of Nazareth, Joseph and Jesus, because I work and prayer, combined, represent the high road to sanctification.
For religious work he made a vow of poverty because it provides the means for the sustenance of family and community and works of apostolate. Alberione writes about that: "Heavenly Father, having mercy on mankind wandering, he wanted to restore all things in Christ. These began with the family and work. The mystery of Christ worker seems most profound mystery of the Passion and Death: many years at the carpenter's bench. "

And again: "Jesus shows to the Father in heaven not only his hands pierced by nails, but still horny for the instruments that he used to work closely with lofty intentions redemptive. "
Getting started, here's the delivery that comes from the workshop of Nazareth. There are many tasks in the world of human activity. There's something for everyone, Alberione clarifies: "He has more on who uses the shovel of who uses the pen." Between us, the pen sometimes weighs more than the hoe.
The physical and mental strength must be used with the same commitment and equal merit "because the Lord has given us not only the soul", but arms, good intelligence and appropriate muscles.
