St. Joseph's Day: A special feast for all Sisters of St. Joseph!

Each year I received a number of requests for this prayer. So here it is again. But this year, please note the information about the image of Joseph below the prayer.
Happy St. Joseph's Day to all!

 

Prayer to Saint Joseph

 God of Great Love, Your Son,  Jesus, was nurtured by St. Joseph.

May we look to Joseph as our model of justice, gentleness, and humility.

 May we, with Joseph, nurture the life of Christ in our lives and in the lives of others

uniting all people and all creation with God and with one another.

 May Joseph’s life inspire us to be a hopeful, healing presence within our world.

Amen.

Joanne Gallagher, CSJ
