Yo quiero mucho a san José, porque es un hombre fuerte y de silencio y en mi escritorio tengo una imagen de san José durmiendo y durmiendo cuida a la Iglesia.
I’m very fond of Saint Joseph, because he’s a strong, silent man, and on my desk I have a picture of Saint Joseph sleeping, and in his sleep he takes care of the Church.
