Glorious St. Joseph, model of all who are devoted to labor, obtain for me the grace to work in the spirit of penance in expiation of my many sins; to work conscientiously by placing love of duty above my inclinations; to gratefully and joyously deem it an honor to employ and to develop by labor the gifts I have received from God, to work methodically, peacefully, and in moderation and patience, without ever shrinking from it through weariness or difficulty to work; above all, with purity of intention and unselfishness, having unceasingly before my eyes death and the account I have to render of time lost, talents unused, good not done, and vain complacency in success, so baneful to the work of God. All for Jesus, all for Mary, all to imitate thee, O patriarch St. Joseph! This shall be my motto for life and eternity. - Prayer of Pius X

You won't want to miss this. Believed to be the only voice recording of Peter.

I can't believe I waited this long to hear that. Its wonderful. The accent is not as I imagined. It doesn't really sound French to me, but then what do I know.

Been thinking a little lately about the "aesthetics" of Christianity. I don't know exactly what I mean by that, but at any rate I think there is something beautiful about the CWs that is most compelling for me.

This is beautiful.
