Handmade Sleeping St. Joseph | Nazareth Pottery
We are so excited to partner with Nazareth Pottery to bring you her gorgeous, handmade Sleeping Saint Joseph statues. The only Sleeping Saint Joseph to be snuggled up with Baby Jesus!
The devotion attached to this statue suggests that you write your prayer intentions on a piece of paper, fold it up and place it under the statue.
The purpose?
In scripture, we read how it was through his rest that St Joseph was in deep commune with God. His dreams were a special form of prayer that allowed Saint Joseph to turn to God in times of peril and surrender wholeheartedly to God's Divine Plan. Leaning into the beautiful magnitude of this level of surrender and trust possessed by St Joseph to God, in laying our petitions under the Sleeping St Joseph, we humbly beseech St Joseph to sleep on our petitions, to dream of them, and to offer them up to Christ. Along with this, as we hand our petitions over to the safeguard of our spiritual father. Joseph, we pray for discernment in following God's will as Saint Joseph did.
Crafted of resin, from Catherine’s original ceramic sculpture, these incredible statues are perfect for any home, including those with small children. Resin is durable and will help you be at peace as your little ones also join in on the tradition and peace of mind of laying their prayers under St. Joseph’s guidance and intercession.
" O ST. JOSEPH, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the throne of God, I place in thee all my interests and desires. O St. Joseph, assist me by thy powerful intercession and obtain for me all spiritual blessings through thy foster Son, Jesus Christ Our Lord, so that, having engaged here below thy heavenly power, I may offer thee my thanksgiving and homage.
O St. Joseph, I never weary contemplating thee and Jesus asleep in thine arms. I dare not approach while He reposes near thy heart. press Him in my name and kiss His fine head for me, and ask Him to return the kiss when I draw my dying breath.
St. Joseph, Patron of departing souls, pray for me."
