May the “Year of Saint Joseph,” which ends on coming December 8, not “end,” but serve as an impetus for greater devotion and experience of the Catholic faith on the part of the faithful together with such a high saint, the earthly father of Jesus. If the child God and his Mother, by Divine Will, lived under the care and protection of St Joseph, so let us also seek greater intimacy with him in our lives. May St Joseph grant us this grace, for our journey in faith under his care, for his Glory and Glory of the Holy Church and God the Father.
