"Get to know Saint Joseph and you will find Jesus”
- Saint Josemaría Escrivá
The Way of Saint Joseph is a path of conversion, a simple walk in the heart of the Cuatro Ciénegas desert
A 20 km route through 14 stations set in unique landscapes, where we meditate on different moments in which the Holy Family, and Saint Joseph in particular, lead us by their example on a journey through his life, to know him better and recognize him as a spiritual father.

What did walking the Way mean to you?
These days were, for me, a renewal of the promise and a return to knowing myself as a Beloved Daughter of God
Saint Joseph, perhaps the member of the Holy Family most like us in his humanity, gave me through his example a renewed trust in God's promises, and in how my weakness and smallness are no obstacle for God to work.

"Praying and reflecting amid the landscapes of Cuatro Ciénegas is beyond compare”
The Way of Saint Joseph was a very special experience. Spending these days accompanying Joseph makes you see everything from a unique perspective and feel part of the most important moments of his life, as if you were living them with him in first person.

The Way of Saint Joseph was, for me, an opportunity to surrender myself to him
It came at a moment in my life when I only wanted to hand him my heart, and from the very first station he knew what to do with it. I heard him, I felt him, he embraced me and I loved him even more. Getting to know his life and finding it so close to mine made me feel understood by him. Since then I have not let go, and I walk hand in hand with him every day.”

For me the Way of Saint Joseph was opening my heart to let myself be embraced by Saint Joseph and by God
Being in the middle of the desert reflecting on the life of Saint Joseph made me realize that, despite the difficulties, God is faithful to his promises and always present in our lives

In the Church there is something called the communion of saints: broadly, heaven helps and assists us in meeting Jesus
Cuatro Ciénegas has the blessing that God the Father has appointed a great Saint to lead and guide us to the encounter with his Son Jesus. That Saint is Joseph, and his intercession here is very powerful. Having the 20 km pilgrimage of the Way of Saint Joseph in this semi-desert place leads us to a very intimate and deep encounter with him; but Saint Joseph does not stop there, he also leads us to a deep encounter with Mother Mary so that together they bring us into intimacy with Jesus. Walking this Way has always made me feel protected and sheltered within his fatherly, protective heart. I am sure he will begin calling many people to walk the Way so he can pour gifts and secrets from heaven into their hearts.

It was a Gift
To walk in Saint Joseph's footsteps is to walk in faithfulness and love of God. Meeting him is learning to be brave, not to fear God's will, to guard what is sacred: God made man was entrusted to him, and to us life was entrusted, the truth that is Christ. Often we must leave our land to walk through the desert, that dry yet humble ground that bows so the Holy Family may tread on it. This Way prepares us to keep walking with Jesus on the water. And just as in the desert whoever loses sight of the path stumbles, at sea they sink. CHRIST OUR KING, THY KINGDOM COME!

A POWERFUL EXPERIENCE
It was very powerful for me to recognize the importance of Saint Joseph in the life of Jesus, and at the same time that of my father and of the father of my children
