Question: “My obedient daughter”? Did You then purposely choose Saint Joseph to be Mother Mary’s husband? If so, why?
God’s answer:
Torah
Tallit (prayer shawl, with the name Yosef written)
Meaning: Yes, he was chosen. The role of Saint Joseph in Jesus' life was significant. In Judaism, "a father's responsibilities to his son are outlined in the Talmud, Kiddushin 29a. According to the text, a father is obligated to circumcise his son, to redeem him if he is the firstborn, to teach him Torah, to find him a wife, and to teach him a trade."8
Saint Joseph then was the one responsible for Jesus' religious education.
