Joseph, protector of the Holy Family,
pray for our children.

Joseph, chaste spouse,
pray for single people who seek to live as faithful disciples.

Joseph, compassionate provider,
pray that we may serve one another in love.

Joseph, faithful to God’s call,
pray for us in our efforts to live our Catholic faith.

Joseph, comfort of the troubled,

Blessed Joseph, may your inner spirit of peace, silence, good work, and prayer always be an inspiration to us.  Just as you provided a loving and secure home for Mary and Jesus, pray that our parish may provide a spiritual home for our families.

Guardian of the holy family, walk with us on our journey of faith.  May your prayers obtain for us the wisdom to discern God’s call and the strength to endure, so that we may grow in holiness and rejoice in communion with all the saints.  We ask this through Christ our Lord.  Amen.
