St Joseph – Lent Week 2 Tuesday

Statue of the death of St Joseph
Statue of the death of St Joseph

I remember this statue from a visit to Castlederg Parish for a Mission in October 2015.  It was in one of the other churches in the parish and I went for a visit one afternoon.  It recalls the death of St Joseph.  I had never seen or imagined a statue like this before but it seems so right to recall Joseph in this way.  He was an honourable man who sought to put his family’s needs before his own.  A good man for sure and one well worth imitating during these Lenten days.

That’s the thought really – striving to be honourable in all we say and do.
