Devin Schadt, cofounder of the Fathers of St. Joseph and cohost of The Catholic Gentleman, offers a powerful guide for husbands and fathers engaged in the spiritual battle for their families.
Drawing on the intercession and example of St. Joseph, this book presents seven sections of Custos spirituality and eighty-eight practical “rules” designed to strengthen men in their vocation.
Through these clear and penetrating counsels, readers will learn to recognize the movements of God and the attacks of the enemy, while gaining concrete tools to resist temptation and grow in holiness. From creating space for prayer, to setting attainable goals, to affirming one’s wife and leading children with wisdom and love, every page provides actionable direction rooted in Catholic tradition.
By imitating St. Joseph in his virtues of silence, fortitude, humility, and trust, men will discover how to guard their families and guide them toward Christ. These brief but potent meditations and practices help husbands and fathers reflect the Father’s heart and live confidently as beloved sons of God.
Above all, this book reminds men that their vocation, though demanding, is also the path to joy and fulfillment. By embracing the four pillars of St. Joseph—silence, woman, child, and charitable authority—men are equipped to overcome discouragement and advance with strength in the spiritual life. A beautiful gift for a man you cherish and a wonderful resource for Godly men.
