This morning has been an invitation to look at St. Joseph who is the Patron Saint of Canada, as well as being the name of the parish that I have belonged to for more than 40 years. It was/is an Oblate Church named after St. Eugene in 1846.
As I sit and reflect on St. Joseph, I find myself looking at Fr. Henri Tempier OMI who never elevated himself in any way, but who was always there for Eugene and the Oblate Family just as Joseph was there for the Holy Family. Both carried the characteristics of being humble, persevering and truly loving without pointing the spotlight upon themselves.
An invitation for us to reflect on who God has chosen and introduced us to our own Patron Saint and Guardian.
