Truly faithful service...
Today, we celebrate the solemnity of St. Joseph, foster father of Jesus, and wife of Mary. The celebration was actually yesterday but yesterday was a sunday, and sunday is a much important obligation (that's what I think)
St. Joseph is good model of quiet faithful service, scriptures are silent about him, except for the events that link him with Jesus. St. Joseph for one has many titles, most chaste spouse, protector and gurdian of virgins... I may not recall all of the titles given to St. Joseph but that's the least of what I remembered.
St. Joseph is called to live a life centered around and leading to Jesus, a life known only because of its connectedness to the Lord. One that is of faithful service.
Let St. Joseph be a model to us, living a life to the Lord and service to others.
Prayer...
Oh, St. Joseph,whose protection is so great, so prompt, so strong,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 Sonall 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 departed souls - pray for me. AMEN.
St. Joseph, Patron of the Universal Church,pray for us.
*I got the prayer from the blog of a Jesuit, JR Orbeta, SJ... I'm sure that he won't mind*... :)
