ANECDOTE
THERE WAS A MAN WHO WAS VERY DEVOTED TO SAINT JOSEPH,
BUT NOT OTHERWISE OF A VERY RELIGIOUS DISPOSITION.
ON HIS DEATH, HE WENT TO HEAVEN AND ASKED ST. PETER
TO LET HIM IN. ST. PETER HAD TO REFUSE HIM,
BECAUSE OF HIS POOR RECORD, SO THE MAN CALLED ON
ST. JOSEPH TO HELP HIM. WELL, ST. JOSEPH HEARD AND CAME
TO INTERCEDE FOR HIM, BUT NOTHING ST. JOSEPH SAID COULD
SWAY ST. PETER. FINALLY, THEY GOT TO THE SHOUTING STAGE
AND ST. JOSEPH THREATENED TO LEAVE. ST. PETER STILL
REFUSED SO, ST. JOSEPH LOST HIS PATIENCE AND SHOUTED,
"MARY, GET THE KID, WE'RE LEAVING."
