Here's a link to a less-than-official website re: that statue tradition, but it has all the accompanying prayers and suggested ritual.<br />http://www.luckymojo.com/saintjoseph.htmlUndergroundpewsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10182191422663119484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107887.post-52537106178517379502011-01-03T08:50:58.403-05:002011-01-03T08:50:58.403-05:00UP...

The original words, as written, are "...let men their songs employ." In the brave new world, we get "...let us our songs employ." It just doesn't resonate.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08890870828860228480noreply@blogger.com
