Today is the Feast of St. Joseph, the wood-working spouse of the Virgin Mary, who gave birth to You-Know-Who, who in His lifetime provided health care benefits to all the sick and uninsured who needed it. Two thousand and ten years later, it’s clear where standard-bearers like Joe Biden stand on the issue of Health Care Reform, but we continue to have doubting Thomases like Joe Lieberman, Joe Wilson, Joe Scarborough. And who even knows where Joe the Plumber is these days? St. Joseph, pray for us.
The sharing and caring message is good but there were a lot of rigid expectations for girls named Mary in my youth.
Because of the BVM or the Magdalene?
