ABSTRACT
And then St. Joseph departed, leaving his last word with the queen. “Don’t ever forget me, otherwise I’ll forget you again.” “I can never forget you,” she answered, “because I’m so grateful for all the
help you gave me.” They said their goodbyes, and the queen immediately went to remove the
piece of paper from under the king’s pillow. He awoke, dazed and surprised, and she recounted all that had happened. The king’s admiration for St. Joseph knew no bounds, and from then on they kept him as their protector, their advocate, and their patron saint. Collected in Polizzi-Generosa.
