Saint Joseph, a model of life
Joseph responded to God’s call with humility and righteousness, with strength and tenderness. In fact, Saint Joseph is considered a model of interior life, not only for these qualities, but also for his discretion and great faith.
In the apostolic letter Patris CordePope Francis tells us “Joseph’s spiritual life does not show us a path that explains, but a path that welcomes”. Let us therefore walk with Saint Joseph, thanks to the various proposals that offers you to pray to him daily, to get to know him better (and to get to know ourselves better in our vocation as men, fathers, spouses, etc.) or to consecrate ourselves to him through ninthsseptenaries, triduums and retreats.
Prayer to Saint Joseph the worker to find work
In Nazareth, Saint Joseph was a carpenter and he taught his trade to his son Jesus with great dedication: “San José was a carpenter who worked honestly to ensure his family’s livelihood. From him, Jesus learned the value, dignity and joy of what it means to eat the bread that is the fruit of one’s own work.. (Pope Francisco, Patris Corde). Being the patron saint of workers, we can turn to him to entrust all our professional problems, our job search and matters related to our work.
Prayers to Saint Joseph for difficult causes
Saint Joseph made difficult and courageous decisions throughout his life, for example, he took in a pregnant Mary, he found a home for the birth of Jesus, he fled to Egypt for the good of his family… Just as he protected to the Virgin and Child Jesus, Saint Joseph can also guide us in our difficulties and advocate for our difficult causes. Let us entrust our prayers to him when we ask for a grace, whether to get or sell a home, to find our soul mate or to obtain a miraculous intervention.
