March: Month of Saint Joseph
Virtue: Mortification
The first step to be taken by one who wishes to follow Christ, is, according to our Lord's own words, that of renouncing himself, that is, his own senses, his own passions, his own will, his own judgment, and all the movements of nature, making to God a sacrifice of all these things, and of all their acts, which are surely sacrifices very acceptable to the Lord. And we must never grow weary of this; for if anyone, having, so to speak, one foot already in heaven, should abandon this exercise, when the time should come for him to put the other there, he would run much risk of being lost.— St. Vincent de Paul.
St. Joseph, (Mother of Mercy Catholic Church, Washington, NC)
Prayer to St. Joseph for Persecuted Priests
Dearest St. Joseph, be the protector and
defender of those priests undergoing persecution for being faithful to
their Lord and Sovereign Priest, Jesus Christ. See in them the image of
thy beloved child, and cherish them with that tender solicitude which
God places in Thy paternal heart. Obtain for them the good
graces of thy Queen and Spouse, for such graces of predilection will
surely lighten their burdens and render their crosses sweet. Amen.
