____________________________________________________________________

“Mary belonged to Joseph, and Joseph to Mary, so much so that their marriage was very real, since they gave themselves to each other. But how could they do this? Behold the triumph of purity. They reciprocally gave their virginity, and over this virginity they gave each other a mutual right. What right? To safeguard the other’s virtue.”-ST. PETER JULIAN EYMARD

St Joseph, Chaste guardian of the Virgin, pray for us.
