St. Joseph the Worker Feast Day Today

 
Dear Saint Joseph, you were yourself once faced with the responsibility of providing the necessities of life for Jesus and Mary. Look down with fatherly compassion upon me in my anxiety over my present inability to support my family. Please help me to find gainful employment very soon, so that this heavy burden of concern will be lifted from my heart and that I am soon able to provide for those whom God has entrusted to my care. Help us to guard against bitterness and discouragement, so that we may emerge from this trial spiritually enriched and with even greater blessings from God. Amen.

Finally, I address an affectionate thought to the young people, the sick and newlyweds. Dear young people, may you fall in love with Christ, to follow him with enthusiasm and loyalty. You, dear sick ones, dip your sufferings in the mystery of love of the Redeemer's Blood. And you, dear newlyweds, with your mutual and faithful love be an eloquent sign of Christ's love for the Church. Thank you!
