Excerpt from Saint Joseph of Jesus and Mary: Priedieu Papers in His Praise I have found it very hard to choose a name for this new book about St. Joseph, and the name chosen at last needs an excuse. It was suggested by a story that is told of one of his most devoted clients, whose greatest glory is perhaps the part she has had in promoting the glory of St. Joseph. Our Lord, it is said, appeared one day to St. Teresa in the form of a child, and asked her name. "I call myself Teresa of Jesus." "And I," said the Divine Child, "call Myself Jesus of Teresa" Copying this model, I have dared to call the subject of this book St. Joseph of Jesus and Mary. My title-page goes on to describe the book as made up of "priedieu papers" about St Joseph. Some of them have appeared in The Irish Monthly, in the series of short and simple essays on spiritual subjects to which that name is given in the magazine - a name taken from the French word for genuflexorium or praying-stool.
