The topic for discussion for the Second Sunday Supper on 6/20 was Saint Joseph. Because it was Father's Day, we spent some time talking about Joseph's call to become one of the guardian's of God's greatest gift to us. While not the paternal father of Jesus, Joseph was given the enormous responsibility of raising him and teaching him useful skills (such as the manual labor of carpentry). It was not by chance that this was the environment chosen for Jesus to experience as an adolescent.
We remember the enormous calls our own father's, or father-like figures, undertook when they took the responsibility to care for us throughout our young lives and into adulthood. We took the time to remember what we remember most about our father's and how they have impacted our lives.
