I feel compelled to say something on this feast of St. Joseph the worker. I have been silent as of late, but I am working on some things that I will likely post as multiple part series.

Dear St. Joseph,

Help us to put our gifts and talents to work in service of your Divine Son. So often we doubt God on account of our human weakness and expectations, preferring the parameters of a worldly experience to the sublimity of a life lived drowning in the deep water of your son’s eternal heart. Help us do as you did, following God’s commands with great love in diligent service of your wife Mary and her holy son.

Love,

Joseph
