A DAILY PRAYER TO ST. JOSEPH
In his letter, Pope Francis notes how, “Every day, for over forty
years, following Lauds [Morning Prayer]” he has “recited a
prayer to Saint Joseph taken from a nineteenth-century French
prayer book of the Congregation of the Sisters of Jesus and
Mary.” This prayer, he says, expresses devotion and trust, and
even poses a certain challenge to Saint Joseph,” on account of
its closing words:
“My beloved father, all my trust is in you. Let it not be said
Year of Saint that I invoked you in vain, and since you can do everything
with Jesus and Mary, show me that your goodness is as great
as your power.”
Joseph At the conclusion of his Letter, he adds another prayer to St
Joseph, which he encourages all of us to pray together:
Hail, Guardian of the Redeemer,
First Wednesdays of the Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
To you God entrusted his only Son;
Month in 2021 in you Mary placed her trust;
with you Christ became man.
