“I wish I could persuade everyone to be devoted to this glorious saint ... For some years now, I think, I have made some request of him every year on his festival and I have always had it granted. If my petition is in any way ill-directed, he directs it aright for my greater good.”
—St. Teresa of Avila, writing about St. Joseph in her autobiography. St. Joseph's feast day is today, March 19.
