Day 21 - St. Joseph’s Blueprint: Finding Glory in the Chaos of Family Life

Diapers piling up, kids screaming, and a sink overflowing with dishes. In other words, chaos everywhere. And you wouldn't have it any other way. Standing in the middle is St. Joseph, unshaken, turning the mess into something sacred. 

The title "Glory of Domestic Life" isn’t about picture-perfect moments; it’s about the grit and grace of showing up every day as a husband, father, and man of God. We dive into Scripture, like Matthew 1:24, where Joseph takes Mary into his home without hesitation, and explore how his quiet strength transforms the ordinary into the holy. I’m issuing you a challenge: step up today. Pick one area in your domestic life—patience with your kids, supporting your wife, or leading your parish—and own it like Joseph did. Hit play, grab your coffee or rosary, and let’s get to work building a home worthy of heaven.
