Hesed we Shalom my dear brothers and sisters in Christ. St.Joseph the spouse of Mary, Mother of our Lord Jesus, was the carpenter and through his work that he was be the patron of workers.. As in St. Benedict 'Ora et Labora' that our works in daily life should be offered to God. whether it were small or in greater duties.
Remember also that St. Joseph as the co-protector of Virginity of Mary. He accepted the Lord's command to take Mary as his spouse so that neither the name of Mary shall stain by unworthy 'sinful accusation ' of the people. For the virgins that caught as pregnant before married are considered as adulterers. So great was the Lord planned that His servant, Joseph would say 'Yes' to the chastity given by our Lord to him.
So, from his example of protecting the holiness of Marriage and virginity of woman that should drives us especially young man today to protect your special girlfriend or your beloved lady to be in virginity in 'name' and 'body' before Holy Matrimony. Dominus Vobiscum+
