St Joseph, chosen to be the foster father of Jesus our Saviour,

Pray for us that we may transform our homes into that of your own home in Nazareth.
St Joseph, example for all labourers,
Pray for us that the work of our hands may bear witness to the magnificence and glory of our Creator.
St Joseph, model of contemplation,
Pray for us that we may always seek God’s will in the events of daily life.
St Joseph, lover of simplicity,
Pray for us that we may rely more on the power of God than on our own.

Closing Prayer
Almighty God, we praise and thank you for choosing St Joseph as the foster father of your only Son. Through his example and prayers, may we fully realize the value of living as your children – struggling in this world, yet bound for eternal life in your kingdom. Grant that we may remain faithful to you until we joyfully reap the fruits of whose seeds were sown in this valley of sorrows. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
