St. Francis of Assisi Church, Fitchburg MA
With much of the focus on Mary tonight (and deservedly so) I thought I would offer a prayer to St. Joseph, who is often overlooked in the busy Christmas season.
A PRAYER OF ST. JOSEPH
Blessed Joseph, husband of Mary,
be with us this day. You protected
and cherished the Virgin; loving the child Jesus as your son, you rescued him from the danger of death.
Defend the Church, the household of God, purchased by the blood of Christ. Guardian of the Holy Family, be with us in our trials. May your prayers obtain for us the strength to flee from error
and wrestle with the powers of corruption so that in life we may
grow in holiness and in death
rejoice in the crown of victory.
Amen.
Have a Blessed Christmas everyone!
