Why does the Church hold St. Joseph as a model of purity, strength, and fatherhood?

In this report, priests, religious sisters, and lay faithful reflect on the meaning of chastity in the Christian life and why the foster father of Jesus remains a powerful example for families, young people, and those discerning marriage or religious life.

From the symbolism of the white lily to the witness of saints like St. Cecilia and St. Thomas Aquinas, this story explores how the virtue of chastity safeguards authentic love and helps believers grow in freedom, self-mastery, and devotion to God.
