Solemnity of St. Joseph!
St. Joseph was an ordinary manual laborer although descended from the royal house of David. In the designs of Providence he was destined to become the spouse of the Mother of God. His high privilege is expressed in a single phrase, “Foster-father of Jesus.” About him Sacred Scripture has little more to say than that he was a just man-an expression which indicates how faithfully he fulfilled his high trust of protecting and guarding God’s greatest treasures upon earth, Jesus and Mary.
The darkest hours of his life may well have been those when he first learned of Mary’s pregnancy; but precisely in this time of trial Joseph showed himself great. His suffering, which likewise formed a part of the work of the redemption, was not without great providential import: Joseph was to be, for all times, the trustworthy witness of the Messiah’s virgin birth. After this, he modestly retires into the background of holy Scripture.
Of St. Joseph’s death the Bible tells us nothing. There are indications, however, that he died before the beginning of Christ’s public life. His was the most beautiful death that one could have, in the arms of Jesus and Mary. Humbly and unknown, he passed his years at Nazareth, silent and almost forgotten he remained in the background through centuries of Church history. Only in more recent times has he been accorded greater honor. Liturgical veneration of St. Joseph began in the fifteenth century, fostered by Sts. Brigid of Sweden and Bernadine of Siena. St. Teresa, too, did much to further his cult.
At present there are two major feasts in his honor. On March 19 our veneration is directed to him personally and to his part in the work of redemption, while on May 1 we honor him as the patron of workmen throughout the world and as our guide in the difficult matter of establishing equitable norms regarding obligations and rights in the social order.

Current Reads
I read all the time. Or at least it seems like I used to read all the time. Currently my library account it out of sorts and I’ve simple not been reading much aside from legal school books. I have a really hard time for some reason reading ebooks and I have no way of listening to books on tape [or iphone!] in my car. I’m fed up with it! I’m at least going to read a book a week [hopefully more!] from here on out. It’s a good productive goal for me to get that fixed. I really really hate watching TV shows and I’ve been spending WAY to much time on my computer recently. Read physical books will be so amazing.
In true ‘I read far more than I should fashion’ here is what I am currently reading:
The Story of a Soul by Saint Thérèse of Lisieux – My Lenten reading!
Thérèse is known today because of her spiritual memoir, L’histoire d’une âme (“Story of a Soul”), which she wrote upon the orders of two prioresses of her monastery. She began the work in 1895 as a memoir of her childhood, under instructions from her sister Pauline, known in religion as Mother Agnes of Jesus. Mother Agnes gave the order after being prompted by their eldest sister, Sister Marie of the Sacred Heart. While Thérèse was on retreat in September 1896, she wrote the second part, a letter to Sister Marie of the Sacred Heart. In June 1897 Mother Agnes became aware of the extent of Thérèse’s illness; she immediately asked Mother Marie de Gonzague, who had succeeded her as prioress, to allow Thérèse to write another memoir with more details of her religious life. It was published posthumously, and was heavily edited by Pauline (Mother Agnes). (Aside from considerations of style, Mother Marie de Gonzague had ordered Pauline to alter the first two sections of the manuscript to make them appear as if they were addressed to Mother Marie as well.)
Since 1973, two centenary editions of Thérèse’s original, unedited manuscripts, including “Story of a Soul,” her letters, poems, prayers and the plays she wrote for the monastery recreations have been published in French. “Story of a Soul,” “Last Conversations,” and the two volumes of her letters were translated by John Clarke, O.C.D.; “The Poetry of Saint Thérèse” by Donald Kinney, O.C.D., and “The Prayers of St. Thérèse” by Alethea Kane, O.C.D. “The Religious Plays of St. Therese of Lisieux,” a translation of the plays Thérèse wrote for community recreations, has also appeared in print. via wiki
The Art of Happiness by Dalai Lama. I saw the Dalai Lama speak when I was in High School and it greatly moved me. I’ve never read any of his work so I thought that I’d start with this one!
“Whether one believes in religion or not, whether one believes in this religion or that religion, the very purpose of our life is happiness, the very motion of our life is towards happiness.” –H.H. the Dalai Lama, from The Art of Happiness So popular and so rarely understood, this Nobel Peace Prize winner and man of great inner peace brings to a general audience the key to a happy life. In collaboration with a Western psychiatrist, The Art of Happiness is the first inspirational book for a general audience by the Dalai Lama. Through meditations, stories, and the meeting of Buddhism and psychology, the Dalai Lama shows us how to defeat day-to-day depression, anxiety, anger, jealousy, or just an ordinary bad mood. He discusses relationships, health, family, and work to show us how to ride through life’s obstacles on a deep and abiding source of inner peace. Based on 2,500 years of Buddhist meditations mixed with a healthy dose of common sense, The Art of Happiness crosses the boundaries of all traditions to help readers with the difficulties common to all human beings. via shelfari.
The Amulet of Samarkand by Jonathan Stroud. I read a ton of young adult and children’s literature and this book has been recommended to me about 50 times. So I’m finally going to read it! It seems like it’s a great trilogy!
Presenting a thrilling new voice in children’s literature-a witty, gripping adventure story featuring a boy and his not-so-tame djinni. Nathaniel is a young magician’s apprentice, taking his first lessons in the arts of magic. But when a devious hotshot wizard named Simon Lovelace ruthlessly humiliates Nathaniel in front of everyone he knows, Nathaniel decides to kick up his education a few notches and show Lovelace who’s boss. With revenge on his mind, he masters one of the toughest spells of all: summoning the all-powerful djinni, Bartimaeus. But summoning Bartimaeus and controlling him are two different things entirely, and when Nathaniel sends the djinni out to steal the powerful Amulet of Samarkand, Nathaniel finds himself caught up in a whirlwind of magical espionage, murder, blackmail, and revolt. Set in a modern-day London spiced with magicians and mayhem, this extraordinary, funny, pitch-perfect thriller will dazzle the myriad fans of Artemis Fowl and the His Dark Materials trilogy. And with the rights sold in more than a dozen countries, and a major motion picture in the works, the Bartimaeus trilogy is on the fast track to becoming a classic. via shelfari.
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: The Classic Regency Romance – Now With Ultraviolent Mayhem! by Seth Grahame-Smith (Adapter), Jane Austen (Author). Yes that is an actual book! How can you not want to read it?! I watch a lot of zombie movies so I thought this was hilarious!
‘It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains.’ So begins Pride and Prejudice and Zombies , an expanded edition of the beloved Jane Austen novel featuring all-new scenes of bone-crunching zombie mayhem. As our story opens, a mysterious plague has fallen upon the quiet English village of Meryton and the dead are returning to life! Feisty heroine Elizabeth Bennet is determined to wipe out the zombie menace, but she’s soon distracted by the arrival of the haughty and arrogant Mr. Darcy. What ensues is a delightful comedy of manners with plenty of civilized sparring between the two young lovers and even more violent sparring on the blood-soaked battlefield as Elizabeth wages war against hordes of flesh-eating undead. Can she vanquish the spawn of Satan? And overcome the social prejudices of the class-conscious landed gentry? Complete with romance, heartbreak, swordfights, cannibalism, and thousands of rotting corpses, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies transforms a masterpiece of world literature into something you’d actually want to read. via shelfari.
Ice by Sarah Beth Durst. I’ve read about 60 pages into this book and I really enjoy it so far!
When Cassie was a little girl, her grandmother told her a fairy tale about her mother, who made a deal with the Polar Bear King and was swept away to the ends of the earth. Now that Cassie is older, she knows the story was a nice way of saying her mother had died. Cassie lives with her father at an Arctic research station, is determined to become a scientist, and has no time for make-believe. Then, on her eighteenth birthday, Cassie comes face-to-face with a polar bear who speaks to her. He tells her that her mother is alive, imprisoned at the ends of the earth. And he can bring her back — if Cassie will agree to be his bride. That is the beginning of Cassie’s own real-life fairy tale, one that sends her on an unbelievable journey across the brutal Arctic, through the Canadian boreal forest, and on the back of the North Wind to the land east of the sun and west of the moon. Before it is over, the world she knows will be swept away, and everything she holds dear will be taken from her — until she discovers the true meaning of love and family in the magical realm of Ice. via shelfari.
Eclipse by Stephanie Meyer. Why am I reading this? Simple, I got peer pressured into it by my friends! It’s really really terrible, but we’re all reading it together so we mostly just make fun of it. Really bad, but only one book left after this one!
“Edward’s soft voice came from behind me. I turned to see him spring lightly up the porch steps, his hair windblown from running. He pulled me into his arms at once, just like he had in the parking lot, and kissed me again. This kiss frightened me. There was too much tension, too strong an edge to the way his lips crushed mine–like he was afraid we had only so much time left to us.”
As Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire, Victoria, continues her quest for revenge, Bella once again finds herself surrounded by danger. In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob–knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the ageless struggle between vampire and werewolf. With her graduation quickly approaching, Bella has one more decision to make: life or death. But which is which? via shelfari.
Hopefully I’ll have a couple of these done by the end of the week!

Some Inspirational Quotes
“What if funky, confusing, gray, lonely days were just part of a “system” that, in turn, created bright, rich, happy, friendly days? What if they were just meant to give deeper elements of your creativity a rest? What if they were deliberately crafted holidays, of a sort, devised by your inner psyche to relieve you from the pressure of artificial expectations?
Would you still bemoan them, wonder what’s wrong with you, or fear that they’ll never end?
Or, would they kind of tickle you pink?”
– The Universe [via Notes from the Universe]
“Wisdom enters through love, silence, and mortification. It is great wisdom to know how to be silent and to look at neither the remarks, nor the deeds, nor the lives of others.” — St. John of the Cross

Lent is a privileged time of interior pilgrimage towards Him Who is the fount of mercy. — Message of His Holiness Benedict XVI for Lent 2006
