March 19 is the  Feast of St. Joseph,  the most chaste spouse  of  our Blessed Mother.  Thus, our Tuesday Bible Study  celebrated the feast day  by having a  St. Joseph Table . Even though I converted 50 years ago,  I was not familiar  with this tradition.   It is an Italian custom,  and there is no trace of Italian blood on either the maternal or paternal side of my family. However, I will pass this tradition on to my family. Many of us searched for stories about St. Joseph,  and two ladies had personal accounts  about St. Joseph's interceding in their family's lives.  Other traditions associated with St. Joseph can be found  here . The lady  who brought the preserves noticed, when she took it out of her pantry, that it was made at the  St. Joseph Monastery!                                        ...

Our blessed Mother, I start the day with your Son; you lead me to Him. join me at Rebecca's for Mornings with Mary .
