Saint Joseph,
guardian of the Holy family,
you whose hands were sweet enough
to surround the Child God’s body;
the look piercing enough to detect the work of God;
the heart ingenious enough to shelter Jesus Christ from the wicked;
Saint Joseph, surround each of God’s People with the same tenderness.
Eliminate the dangers that threaten the earth and all its inhabitants.
Expand the heart of all God’s creatures in every country around the world.
May the Spirit shape our personality.
May God the Trinity be present in each of our lives, as a vivifying sap.
So we will work, we will act as you have done, so that the Kingdom of God may come, that his will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Amen.
