We are delighted to have you with us and are praying for you to have a powerful experience in deepening your relationship with the foster father of Jesus.

The Way of St. Joseph was written and guided by Father Daniel Brandenburg, a priest with the Legionaries of Christ in collaboration with Plan 2040 and the Camino of San José in Cuatro Ciénegas, Mexico. Father Daniel currently serves as chaplain of the Lumen Institute and chaplain of Young Catholic Professionals in Atlanta, GA.

Discussion Questions

As you listen to the audio, keep these questions in mind.

• Am I afraid of death? If so, why?


• What can St. Joseph’s attitude and faith teach me about death?


• To what degree do I believe what we profess in the Creed (“I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come”)?


• To what degree does fear about leaving behind loved ones affect my attitude toward death?


• What unresolved business – forgiving someone, asking forgiveness, restitution, provision for others, etc. – do I need to take care of before I die? When will I do that?


• How could I draw closer to the patron of a happy death to prepare for that final chapter of my own life?
