In his homily on St. Joseph, Fr. Brian points out three aspects from the life of St. Joseph that make him honorable:
St. Joseph put Jesus at the center of his life. St. Joseph preferred to retreat into the shadows because Jesus was the center of his home in Nazareth.
St. Joseph models obedience. Several times, an angel appeared to him and Joseph followed the angel's instructions. Obedience takes total trust and humility. Joseph never questioned, "Why?" He totally trusted that the Father's plan was best.
St. Joseph loved his wife, the Blessed Virgin Mary.
There are always graces attached to cooperating with the movement of the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit, right now, is calling the whole Church to focus on Joseph.
St. Joseph has many titles and exemplifies many virtues.
