MAY 1, FEAST OF ST JOSEPH THE WORKMAN
Saint Joseph was by birth of the royal family of David, but was living in humble obscurity as a carpenter, until God raised him to the highest office ever accorded a mortal man, by choosing him to be the spouse of the Virgin Mother, the virginal father and guardian of the Incarnate Word. Joseph, says Holy Scripture, was a just man. He was innocent and pure, as became the husband of Mary; he was gentle and tender, as one worthy to be named the father of Jesus; he was prudent and a lover of silence, as became the master of the holy house; above all, he was faithful and obedient to divine calls.

If you pay attention to yourself, you will find that in the course of the day you are assailed by many temptations. Do you know to what you are most often tempted? Yet temptation is not sin; it only becomes sin when you take pleasure in it and consent to it. As often as you resist and overcome it, you gain in virtue, and merit a reward from God. When you are tempted, turn to God; pray to Jesus and Mary for help, and remember the word of God which warns you against the very sin to which you are tempted. If anger rises within you, say: “Blessed are the meek,” or else: “For the anger of man worketh not the justice of God” (James 1:20). If you are inclined to quarrel or fight, say to yourself: “Blessed are the peace-makers”; or if you are in danger of telling lies, remind yourself of the proverb: “Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord” (Prov. 12:22).

Armored skeleton of Saint Pancratius at the Church of St. Nikolaus, Switzerland
The bones of Saint Pancratius were taken from the Catacombs of Rome in the 1670s to the city of St. Gallen, Switzerland where they were articulated by a team of nuns. They dressed his remains in a Roman-style costume, then moved them to the Swiss city of Wil. On the skeleton’s centennial anniversary in town, there was commissioned a renovation into this armored sculpture. Pankratius represents a Roman soldier in armor and helmet with sword and the martyr's palm. Parts of the garment are ornaments of silver gilt and copper plated. The trend for jewelled skeletons began in the late 16th century. While not in the Empire proper, this is a fine example of Baroque religious art. The armour is actually his reliquary. Pancras, in medieval iconography, is often depicted as a soldier due to his connection to the soldier saints Achilleus and Nereus.
