Saint Joseph - Role Model

Dearest Sister, I am winding down for bed. This is one of the hazards of teaching online. You confuse days and nights. Anyway, I want you to know that my hero is St. Joseph. He kept Mary and the Baby Jesus safe when Herod sought to kill the Baby Jesus. He continued to keep them safe. He also kept a pious household that observed the beliefs of the Faith - for example, he made sure Jesus was in the Temple at age 12 for his bar-mitzvah. This is what I want for myself. I want to keep those whom God has entrusted to me safe. This starts with wife Jane, grand kids, Jenny, and extends to you and sister Marcy. If ever you need help, support, ask for it. I plan to spend the rest of my days keeping us safe as best I can as God gives me the time, health to do it. Yes, when I get confused, I think Saint Joseph. He is exactly what our parents were to us. God bless. Brother Paul
