I BURIED JESUS' STEP-DAD

Not the pomp and circumstance of say JPII, but we actually took my sister's statue of St. Joseph and buried it in our backyard - upside down!!!!!. Supposedly this ritual is to aid one in selling their house. Tricia swears it worked to sell her house and her in-law's house as well. So did Julie (well not her in-law's house). It's an act I'm willing to take part of, but it's all superstition for me.

There are dozens of websites out there dedicated to this....like here and here. You can even buy your "kit" on-line. $9.95. The catholic church was never so cheap!

Oh there is supposed be a prayer you say while/after you bury St. Joe. I didn't actually say it. It doesn't really say anything about real estate. I'll take my chances.

Be mindful of us, O Blessed Joseph, and intercede for us with thy foster-Son by the pleading of thy prayer: do thou, in like manner, render the blessed Virgin Mary, thy Spouse, gracious unto us, for she is the Mother of Him, Who with the Father and the Holy Ghost liveth and reigneth world without end. Amen.
