Sleeping Saint Joseph Statue meaning

In Catholic iconography, Catholic imagery is filled with representations of standing figurines, seated figures, or busts.

Most saints in the Catholic calendar are generally depicted standing. 

The Virgin Mary and Christ are sometimes depicted seated on thrones, highlighting their divine status as King and Queen of Heaven and Earth. 

The figure of Sleeping Saint Joseph is an unusual representation. The saint is depicted lying down, with his eyes closed, resting peacefully, with his head resting on one of his arms. 

The statue presented is based on the account from the Gospel of Matthew, where it is recounted that Saint Joseph received divine messages in four different dreams.

In the first, an angel urged him to go ahead with his plan to marry the Virgin Mary despite the miraculous pregnancy.

The second dream occurred after the birth of Jesus, where an angel warned Saint Joseph that he must flee with his family to Egypt to protect them. 

The third dream unfolded in Egyptian lands when an angel instructed him to return to Israel.

Finally, in another dream, God commanded Saint Joseph to go to Galilee instead of Judea.

Saint Joseph | Pope Francis story

Pope Francis has acknowledged on numerous occasions that he has a special fondness for the figure of Saint Joseph.

The supreme pontiff has highlighted the figure of Saint Joseph as a fundamental part in the life of Jesus and the Virgin Mary. 

An essential pillar who, inspired by divine wisdom, cared for his family and protected them against the threats they faced.

Pope Francis's reflections were reflected in the apostolic letter Patris corde, published in 2020. This was the year that marked 150 years since Saint Joseph was appointed as Patron of the Universal Church by Pope Pius IX.

Pope Francis emphasizes the figure of Saint Joseph as a secondary figure in the history of the Catholic Church, but with a crucial role. A person who dedicated himself to working to support his family quietly but with great love and commitment.

Pope Francis prayer to Sleeping Saint Joseph 

The figure of Sleeping Saint Joseph is a piece of Catholic religious imagery that has gained great popularity in recent years. Especially since 2015, the year Pope Francis visited Sri Lanka and the Philippines. 

During this trip, the Pope had an encounter with families to whom he told a personal anecdote that reached significant relevance. 

In this story, the Supreme Pontiff explained to those present that he had a great love for Saint Joseph, to the point that he had a figure of Sleeping Saint Joseph in his bedroom. 

He used these figures to pray to Saint Joseph and ask for advice when there were problems that troubled him. The Pope wrote the problem on a piece of paper and placed it under the figure of Sleeping Saint Joseph. Then he would wait and trust in the saint's guidance to resolve the complications that troubled his spirit.
