Saint Joseph

Jesus is preaching the Good News

the crowd is attentive to the Master’s words.

Far away was heard the sound of a hammer,

suddenly, a tear falls from the Sacred Face of the God-Man.

A ray from the sun makes the tear drop glow.

Mary, His Mother, notices it.
Her eyes are filled with good memories.

She remembers the only love of her life,

the gardener who cared for the rose,
purest,

simplest,
most beautiful of all humanity.

She feels thoughts of most tender love,

for Joseph, the carpenter,
who knew how to be the tool of God,

in order to carve out the most beautiful love story
of all time.
