From Morning Prayer:

Solemnity of St. Joseph


Jacob the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom Jesus was born, who is called Christ.

The birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. 

When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child of the Holy Spirit; and her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to send her away quietly. 

But as he considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying,

“Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit; she will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” 

When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him; he took his wife into his home.

(Mt 1:16, 18-21, 24a)

I pray that this text finds you in His light.

I pray that we may all have had a day of listening to our angels.

Please pray for all those listed in all the parts of the litany that follows (Part 1)(Part 2)(Part 3)(Part 4).

PEACE ✌ † 🙏 🐕‍🦺
