O St. Joseph, guardian of Jesus and chaste spouse of Mary, you passed your life in loving service to the Lord and His holy family. You are a model for all who are called to serve, and a protector of all who seek refuge in your care. In your humility and faith, you accepted God’s plan for you. Help us to follow your example, to trust in God’s guidance, and to embrace our responsibilities with love and joy. Intercede for us, dear St. Joseph, that we may find strength in our struggles, peace in our worries, and hope in our doubts. May we always strive to live in fidelity to God’s will.
Amen
