Happy Saint Joseph’s Day! Sometimes no matter how hard we try, it’s hard to emulate the saints. Many of us are not in the position to start a religious order, like St. Katherine Drexel, nor do we have mystical experiences like St. Catherine of Sienna. But one saint we can look to is St. Joseph, who in the words of St. Joseph Marello attained sanctity through ordinary virtues. Let that be a comfort and inspiration to you on today’s Lenten Journey.
Join The Dialog again this year on Our Lenten Journey. Each day, we will bring you a thought to start your morning — a quote from a saint, a passage from scripture, or thoughts from theologians — along with a links to each day’s readings and other Lent-related topics.
