St. Bernardine of Siena said of Joseph, “He was chosen by the eternal Father as the trustworthy guardian and protector of his greatest treasures, namely, his divine Son and Mary, Joseph's wife. He carried out this vocation with complete fidelity until at last God called him, saying: ‘Good and faithful servant, enter into the joy of your Lord'” I'm confident Brian also has heard those words, and will now know the unending peace and joy of Heaven. Goodbye, for now, my friend. My prayers are with you, and with your family.
