I\u2019m sorry I didn\u2019t get a chance to post on St Joseph on Monday. Fr Christopher has a <\/span>beautiful St Joseph story<\/span><\/a>. He tells how St Joseph got him into the Catholic Church.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s one from our family: My younger brother, Daryl had become a Catholic. My older brother, Don (Yes, all five of us have names beginning with \u2018D\u2019. I know it is very Brady bunch, but this was the 1950s) was trying to sell the family business and it wasn\u2019t budging. Daryl says, \u201cWhy don\u2019t you pray a novena to St Joseph? He always helps with selling properties. <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Don says, \u201cI\u2019m a Protestant. I don\u2019t pray to saints, besides, what\u2019s a \u2018novena.\u2019?\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cNo. You really should!\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cTell you what. You pray your novena, and if this business sells within six weeks, I\u2019ll become a Catholic.\u201d He said it like, \u201cI\u2019ll eat my hat.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span> <\/div>\n
The novena was prayed. The business sold within six week. Seven years later Don became a Catholic, and at his reception Daryl reminded him about his (now forgotten) wisecrack.<\/span><\/div>\n
