In 1944, Joseph Mayr-Nusser, Italian layman, a Catholic husband and father, refused to take the oath of allegiance to Hitler after being drafted into the German army. He died on the way to Dachau concentration camp, to which he had been sentenced. At the age of 22 he joined the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. He was beatified on March 18, 2017. Pope Francis called Blessed Joseph a model for all laymen and fathers “on account of his great moral and spiritual stature.”

He even looks like his description of a fine person. Another fine person was born in 1910, my father Joseph – who is also in Heaven and a model father. May they meet each other, as they had the goodness of fatherhood in common. Saints Joseph and Josef pray for all of us, especially the American government at this time in history. ❤️👍🎹😁🙏☘️🌸✌️🎶
