To Honor St. Joseph Josephite Fathers
Second Sunday:
Thrice happy patriarch, glorious St. Joseph, chosen to be the foster-father of the Word made man, keen was the pain thou didst feel when thou didst see the infant Jesus born in abject poverty; but thy pain was suddenly changed into heavenly joy when upon thee burst the harmony of the angel choirs, and thou didst behold the glory of that refulgent night.By this thy sorrow and thy joy, we pray thee, obtain for us that, when the journey of our life is over, we too may pass to that blessed land where we shall hear the angel-chants, and enjoy the brightness of celestial glory.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be to the Father.
Ant. Jesus was about thirty years old, being, as was supposed, the son of Joseph
V. Pray for us, Blessed Joseph
R. That was may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Let
us pray: God, Who in Thine ineffable providence didst vouchsafe to
choose blessed Joseph to be the husband of Thy most holy Mother: grant,
we beseech Thee, that we may be made worthy to receive him for our
intercessor in heaven, whom on earth we venerate as our holy protector.
Who livest and reignest world without end. Amen.
