Oh St. Joseph whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before
the throne of God, I place in you all my interests and desires. Oh St.
Joseph do assist me by your powerful intercession and obtain for me from
your divine son all spiritual blessings through Jesus Christ, our Lord;
so that having engaged here below your heavenly power I may offer my
thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of fathers. Oh St. Joseph, I
never weary contemplating you and Jesus asleep in your arms. I dare not
approach while he reposes near your heart. Press him in my name and kiss
his fine head for me, and ask him to return the kiss when I draw my
dying breath. St. Joseph, patron of departing souls, pray for us.
Amen.
Thank you, Lord, for such a dear father, a universal protector, doer and guide. Blessed St. Joseph, how great was your worth, the one chosen shadow of God on earth; the father of Jesus....(Danny Schneible)
Again, we are blessed with the beautiful feasts that Jesus gave us in the Catholic Church. "We are an 'Easter People!'" - St. John Paul II. We had a beautiful day with Mass in the morning, school and a house full of good smells and a lot of action as we cooked for the feast day before setting up our
St. Joseph altar.
