His choicest treasures. Indeed, he had as his spouse the Immaculate Virgin

Mary, of whom was born by the Holy Spirit, Jesus

Christ our Lord, who deigned to be reputed in the

sight of men as the son of Joseph, and was subject to

him.

Him whom countless kings and prophets had desired

to see, Joseph not only saw but conversed with, and

embraced in paternal affection, and kissed. He most

diligently reared Him whom the faithful were to re-

ceive as the bread that came down from heaven

whereby they might obtain eternal life.

Because of this sublime dignity which God conferred

on his most faithful servant, the Church has always

most highly honored and praised blessed Joseph next

to his spouse, the Virgin Mother of God, and has be-

sought his intercession in times of trouble.

And now therefore, when in these most troublesome

times the Church is beset by enemies on every side,

and is weighed down by calamities so heavy that un-

godly men assert that the gates of hell have at length

prevailed against her, the venerable prelates of the

whole Catholic world have presented to the Sovereign

Pontiff their own petitions and those of the faithful

committed to their charge, praying that he would

deign to constitute St. Joseph Patron of the Church.

And this time their prayer and desire was renewed by

them even more earnestly at the Sacred Ecumenical

Council of the Vatican.

Accordingly, it has now pleased our Most Holy Sov-

ereign, Pope Pius IX, in order to entrust himself and

all the faithful to the Patriarch St. Joseph’s most pow-

erful patronage, has chosen to comply with the prel-

ates’ desire and has solemnly declared him Patron of

the Catholic Church.

He has also ordered that his feast on March 19th by

henceforth celebrated as a double of the first class,

without any Octave, however, because of Lent. He ar-

ranged, moreover, that a declaration to this effect be

promulgated through the present decree of The Sa-

cred Congregation of Rites on this day sacred to the

Immaculate Virgin Mother of God, the most chaste

Joseph’s Spouse.

All things to the contrary notwithstanding.

Sus tesoros más selectos. En efecto, tuvo como esposa a la Inmaculada Virgen

María, de la cual nació por el Espíritu Santo, Jesu-

cristo nuestro Señor, quien se dignó a ser reconocido

a la vista de los hombres como hijo de José, y estaba

sujeto a él.

Aquel a quien innumerables reyes y profetas habían

deseado ver, José no sólo vio sino que conversó, y se

apegó con afecto paterno y lo besó. El crio muy sua-

vemente a Aquel a quien los fieles debían recibir

como el pan que baja del cielo por el cual obtienen la

vida eterna.

Debido a esta dignidad sublime que Dios confirió a su

siervo más fiel, la Iglesia siempre ha honrado y ala-

bado al bendito José junto a su cónyuge, la Virgen

Madre de Dios, y ha suplicado su intercesión en tiem-

pos de dificultades.

Y ahora, por lo tanto, cuando en estos tiempos más

difíciles la Iglesia es acosada por enemigos de todos

lados, y es agobiada por calamidades tan pesadas que

los hombres impíos afirman que las puertas del in-

fierno han prevalido en su contra, los venerables pre-

lados de todo el mundo católico han presentado al So-

berano Pontífice sus propias peticiones y las de los

fieles comprometidos a su cargo, orando para que se

dignara a constituir a San José Patrono de la Iglesia.

Y esta vez sus oraciones y deseos fueron renovados

por ellos aún más fervientemente en el Sagrado Con-

cilio Vaticano Ecuménico.

En consecuencia, ahora ha complacido a nuestro San-

tísimo Soberano, el Papa Pío IX, para encomendarse

a sí mismo y a todos los fieles al patrón más poderoso

el Patriarca San José, ha optado por cumplir con el

deseo de los prelados y lo ha declarado solemnemente

Patrono de la Iglesia Católica.

También ha ordenado que su fiesta del 19 de marzo

que para entonces se celebró como un doble de la pri-

mera clase, sin ninguna octava, no obstante, debido a

la Cuaresma. Dispuso, además, que una declaración

en este sentido se promulgara a través del presente de-

creto de la Sagrada Congregación de los Ritos en este

día sagrado para la Virgen Inmaculada Madre de

Dios, la más casta Esposa de José. A pesar de todo lo

contrario.
