Divine Favours Granted to St. Joseph

A classic tribute to the foster-father of Jesus—revealing the miraculous graces and divine favors granted through St. Joseph’s powerful intercession.

Divine Favours Granted to St. Joseph by Father Stephen Binet, S.J., is one of the most beloved devotional works ever written in honor of the Guardian of the Holy Family. Penned by a seventeenth-century Jesuit whose sanctity and eloquence were admired even by St. Francis de Sales, this book opens a treasury of graces attributed to the intercession of St. Joseph and invites the faithful to deeper love and confidence in his protection.

Rooted in the solid theology and spirituality of the early Jesuits, Binet’s writing combines simplicity with fervent devotion. He recounts the countless ways in which St. Joseph aids souls—defending purity, aiding the dying, protecting homes, and guiding those who entrust themselves to him. His gentle yet powerful reflections reveal why the Church calls St. Joseph the “terror of demons” and the model of humble obedience.

Father Binet’s life of holiness and wisdom shines through every page. Known for his meekness, zeal for souls, and tender preaching, he draws the reader into a serene trust in God through the intercession of St. Joseph. The editor’s respectful revision preserves Binet’s seventeenth-century unction and simplicity while ensuring clarity for modern readers.

This volume is both an inspiring biography of Father Binet and a timeless manual of devotion to St. Joseph. Readers will find within its pages a source of encouragement, consolation, and strength in times of trial—an invitation to draw near to the saint whom God Himself chose to guard His Son and His Mother.
