Most Prudent, Most Courageous
Prudence, called the “charioteer of virtues” because it keeps all the cardinal virtues in moderation, is present in all the saints. It was certainly known to St. Joseph, who had to have practiced it as a father and provider: when to praise, to admonish, to teach, and to just have fun. He especially exemplified it in how he acted to protect his loved ones from harm by taking them to Egypt, how to shelter and provide for them, and when to return with them to Nazareth.
St. Joseph was also courageous in many ways, the escape to Egypt being already mentioned being the most obvious. Another is by going through with his marriage to Mary, trusting in the Lord. It also takes great courage to take on the responsibility of raising a son God Himself has entrusted to your care. Jesus showed great courage and fortitude in facing His trials and passion, virtues He saw lived out in the realm of human existence by His earthly father Joseph.
