🇻🇦 On today's feast of St. Joseph the Worker, we can find inspiration in the intertwined stories of St. Joseph and Pope Francis. One was a man of the first century, labouring in a Nazareth workshop; the other, a 21st-century pope often called “the world’s parish priest,” labouring in the vineyard of the Lord.

🤍 Both taught by example that true greatness is found in humility and faithfulness. Pope Francis’ passing is felt in many hearts, but his legacy shines brightly. In his gentle smile, his tireless service, and his unwavering devotion to St. Joseph, we see the enduring power of quiet holiness that St Joseph himself embodied in his devotion to the Holy Family and to the Lord.
