  17. Is it possible that the annunciation to Mary happened in the house of Joseph? See below St. Thomas Aquinas’s point of view in his work Summa Theologiae on the marriage between Mary and Joseph:

    As Chrysostom says (Hom. i super Matth. [Opus Imperfectum among the supposititious works ascribed to St. Chrysostom) the Blessed Virgin was so espoused to Joseph that she dwelt in his home: "for just as she who conceives in her husband's house is understood to have conceived of him, so she who conceives elsewhere is suspect." Consequently sufficient precaution would not have been taken to safeguard the fair fame of the Blessed Virgin, if she had not the entry of her husband's house. Wherefore the words, "not willing to take her away" are better rendered as meaning, "not willing publicly to expose her," than understood of taking her to his house. Hence the evangelist adds that "he was minded to put her away privately." But although she had the entry of Joseph's house by reason of her first promise of espousals, yet the time had not yet come for the solemnizing of the wedding; for which reason they had not yet consummated the marriage. Therefore, as Chrysostom says (Hom. iv in Matth.): "The evangelist does not say, 'before she was taken to the house of her husband,' because she was already in the house. For it was the custom among the ancients for espoused maidens to enter frequently the houses of them to whom they were betrothed." Therefore the angel also said to Joseph: "Fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife"; that is: "Fear not to solemnize your marriage with her." Others, however, say that she was not yet admitted to his house, but only betrothed to him. But the first is more in keeping with the Gospel narrative.

  22. Seven Sorrows & Seven Joys of St. Joseph

    An excellent means of obtaining special favors through the intercession of St. Joseph is to honor his Seven Sorrows & Seven Joys. Often the favors received are greater than they had expected. St. Teresa of Avila tells us that St. Joseph frequently obtained for her much greater favors than those for which she had

    petitioned.

    This devotion may be
    practiced at any time of the year:

    1] A novena may be made by ★Daily saying the prayers of the Seven Sorrows & Seven Joys of St. Joseph.

    2] This devotion may be performed for ★Thirty days [reciting Daily the prayers of the Seven Sorrows & Seven Joys of St. Joseph] and ended with the reception of the Sacraments.

    3] One can also make a novena of ★Seven Consecutive Sundays. Holy Communion is received in honor of St. Joseph on
    Seven Consecutive Sundays, and on each Sunday the prayers in

    honor of the Seven Sorrows & Seven Joys of St. Joseph are

    recited.
