Synopsis "Patris Corde. Apostolic Letter on the 150Th Anniversary of the Proclamation of Saint Joseph as Patron of the Universal Church (Magistero Papa Francesco) "

This is the text of the Apostolic Letter issued by Pope Francis on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the declaration of St. Joseph as Patron of the Catholic Church made by Blessed Pius IX, on December 8, 1870. After Mary, Mother of God, no saint occupies as much space in the papal Magisterium as Joseph, her spouse.Pope Francis' reflections take up the message contained in the few verses of the Gospels about Saint Joseph to further highlight his central role in the history of Salvation: Blessed Pius IX declared him "Patron of the Catholic Church," Venerable Pius XII presented him as "Patron of Workers," and St. John Paul II as "Guardian of the Redeemer."This edition also includes the decree for the Jubilee indulgences, an essay on St. Joseph and the Popes (from Pius IX to Pope Francis), and prayers to St. Joseph.

Jorge Mario Bergoglio, known worldwide as Pope Francis, was a prolific author in the genres of spirituality, theology, and social doctrine. Before his election as pontiff in 2013, he wrote works such as Meditations for Religious (1982) and On Self-Accusation (2005). During his papacy, he published fundamental texts like the encyclicals Lumen fidei (2013), Laudato si’ (2015), and Fratelli tutti (2020), as well as the apostolic exhortation Evangelii gaudium (2013). In 2024, he presented his autobiography Hope, considered the first written by a sitting Pope.

His most recent work, Hope Never Disappoints (2025), reflects his ongoing commitment to social and spiritual issues. Throughout his life, Bergoglio wrote more than 30 books, establishing himself as one of the most influential voices of the contemporary Church.
