Pope
Francis always had a statue on his desk of St Joseph sleeping. This may sound
strange, but the Pope claims that even when he is asleep, he is still taking care of
the church. He says further ‘when I have a problem, I write a small note and
leave it under his statue, so that he can dream about it himself and find a
solution. In other words, I am telling him – please take care of this problem
for me !’ We can all rely on St Joseph for his intervention. As St John the
apostle felt so blessed when he rested his head on Jesus‘ chest during the Last
Supper, imagine what St Joseph must have felt whenever young Jesus laid his
head on Joseph’s shoulder and slept peacefully within a few minutes !
