The carpenter stood with quiet concentration
As The Child ran about
With your wife calling unto you
With the comfort of a shout
–
Your hands indeed they toil much
As you place the boards
In precise positions with measurement
So was your work for the Lord
–
Oh Joseph thou wast chosen
For the merciful story
Brought to witness the Son of God
By the Father’s benevolent glory
–
While the sweat poured forth from your brow
Jesus of Nazareth grew to a man
Preaching the Gospel for humanity
You understood He was the great I AM
–
On the longest days your praise was met
With subtle teachings of deed
The Fatherhood from the Lord to Jesus
Was reflected in your miraculous creed
–
The Blessed Virgin she came
And nurtured your Precious Son
Proclaiming the grandeur of God
And professing love under the Sun
–
When the night therefore came
You sought to gain rest
Awaiting the known future
Of the King Most Blessed

Published by Matthew Pope
A graduate of Belmont Abbey College, a Catholic, private institution, Matthew received his Bachelors of Arts degree in Theology in May of 2012. Upon registering for pastoral training in August of 2013, he was formerly a Master of Divinity student at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, pursuing the Evangelism program. With a transparent calling from God, his life dramatically changed as he received confirmation into The Catholic Church in November of 2016. Matthew's passion rests in serving the nations with the hope of The Gospel. Author of his lay-ministry, Even Unto The End Of The World, which was established on November 12, 2013, he has also produced his previous books: In Doctrine, Uncorrupt (which was released on February 15, 2014) and Assembled With One Accord (published on December 1, 2015), and is currently writing and planning for following books to come.
With a revelatory vision, Matthew intends to encounter the culture and Christendom with truth. In addition, he intends to draw forth the rudiments of the Most Holy Catholic Faith to transform all Christian denominations into The One Church. Matthew confessed Jesus Christ as Savior at age seventeen, impressed with the desire to enter the ministry, in March of 2008. A native of Shelby, North Carolina, he was born on May 28, 1990. He now resides in Wake Forest, North Carolina where he has been actively writing since late 2013.
