“Model of Faith: Reflecting on the Litany of Saint Joseph by Leonard D. DeLorenzo will illuminate your understanding and deepen your appreciation of the one chosen by God to be the foster father of Jesus. With accessible yet powerful reflections on the titles of Saint Joseph, Model of Faith is the perfect companion for the Year of Saint Joseph and beyond”

“Pope Francis’s announcement of a special Year of Saint Joseph is a great gift to the Church during these challenging times. Lenny DeLorenzo’s book is a great gift to anyone wanting to grow closer to Saint Joseph during this special year. Combining Scripture, magisterial documents, and statements from saints with his own insights, Lenny succeeds on pulling back the veil on history’s most hidden saint and the ultimate man of silence!”

“The Holy Father has proclaimed a Year of Saint Joseph from December 8, 2020, to December 8, 2021. Dr. DeLorenzo’s writing on Saint Joseph is timely and useful as we ponder Joseph’s life and his unique contribution to the Catholic Faith. This book highlights twenty-two distinct roles Joseph holds within The Church, many of which may be new to the reader. … In a year in which we are called to contemplate the life of this great saint, this writing will help guide the reader on the journey to a closer understanding of Saint Joseph.”

“Model of Faith is a true aid to prayer. From DeLorenzo’s meditative and scripturally rich explication of each of its parts, one learns how the Litany of Saint Joseph is a devotion that opens you to encounter not only Saint Joseph, but Christ and the whole of God’s love for us. This book was efficacious: reading it in prayer, I found myself not only desiring a closer relationship to Saint Joseph (and the Blessed Virgin and Christ), but actually beginning to experience that closer relationship.”

“Dr. DeLorenzo’s succinct reflections provide great depths to ponder, but perhaps what spoke most forcefully to me is his development of Saint Joseph as a man of action, one whose action was essential for salvation history.”
