Welcome May..showers & May Flowers

It is the end of the day, at last 70 degrees & sunny. The homilist today said maybe we can 'put the snow shovel' away, I agree but not the jackets, yet! Today is the Feast of St. Joseph the Worker, and this blogger retired on this day 2yrs. ago-yippee. St. Joseph was not known for any 'words' in Scripture, but known as the Virgin-Father and his spouse Mary the Virgin -Mother. He was obedient to God's Word. He had to be young to travel into Egypt, why do we picture him as an 'old' man? He had to have energy to do the things he had to do.
This month is dedicated to Mary in our Church with expressions of devotion to her, many events of May Crownings . This month is full of youngsters receiving their 1st Holy Communion, Confirmations, High School and College Graduations. Also, Mother's Day- how can we forget this 'vocation' patterned after the model par excellence,the Blessed Virgin Mary.
This a month of 'celebrations', and why not after the winter season, celebrating Spring and the Popes have told us of the 'New Spring-time' in the Church. Yes, let it come Holy Spirit.
In my family we have some Birthdays of special folks to me; my dear wife and my oldest brother.
