摘要:As a convict serving time in the prison of Lepoglava, the Zagreb archbishop Alojzije Stepinac wrote a collection of Sermons according to the Litanies of St Joseph. These are a real challenge for studies as they were composed in prison, with limited theological sources, where death was very frequent, and there was no shortage of provocations and humiliation. In these sermons, acceptance of coexistence with St Joseph’s life realities and reliance on God reveal a remarkable goodness of God which he makes use of when performing the great deeds of his love through weak, unknown people. For archbishop Stepinac, brightness, optimism and joyful exercise of God’s will, recognized in the holiness of St Joseph, are able to overcome the fear of life and death, and to convert the circumstances of family life to an atmosphere of happiness, prosperity and God’s blessing, while the devotions in his honour can help in the pastoral of the youth and family.
