St. Joseph says: “Praise be to Jesus.”

“The role of every father is to protect, provide and guide. To protect, the father must protect from any harm – physical, spiritual and emotional. The father must provide the basic needs of his children – physical, spiritual and emotional. The father must guide his children around harmful influences. Thus, he helps his children to see the errors in sinful lifestyles and helps them discern good from evil. A father is never first a pal seeking approval from his children. He gains respect by defining sin as sin. Thus, the children learn to seek the father's approval.”
