Do we give Saint Joseph his due? The Vicar General of the Archdiocese of Liverpool,
Vincent Malone, shares with Veronica Scarisbrick some thoughts : "..He's the protector
of Mary and of the Holy Family, he's given that job to do ..from that it becomes
very natural that he becomes the Protector of the Universal Church. ....thinking
of Joseph responsible for those very hidden stages of the Lord's own development
is quite unique ..it's the story of a hidden life which we're not told in detail but
it's right for devotion to embellish .."
