Daily Devotion to St. Joseph - Day 1

[Cathleen]

     God, because of the great love He bears for us and His great desire to see us saved, has given us among other means of salvation the practice of devotion to the saints.  It is His Will, that they, who are His friends, should intercede for us, and by their merits and prayers obtain graces for us which we ourselves do not deserve.

     But everyone must know that, after the Mother of God, St. Joseph is, of all the saints, the one dearest to God.  He has, therefore, great power with Him and can obtain graces for his devout clients. 

     Let us then frequently say:  St. Joseph, give me the greatest confidence in thy powerful intercession.

[Gloria]

St. Joseph, you listened to the Angel and led the Blessed Mother and Jesus to safety, lead us and keep us safe on this unpleasant and difficult path of staying true to our Catholic Faith, as the saints did when they were tested. 

 St. Joseph inflame our family with the Love of Jesus  and Mary every day of our life. I ask  the grace to imitate your virtues St. Joseph so I may be pleasing to the Heart of God.

Consecration to St. Joseph

O MY BELOVED Saint Joseph, adopt me as thy child, take care of my salvation, watch over me day and night, preserve me from the occasion of sin, obtain for me purity of soul and body!  Through thy intercession with Jesus grant me a spirit of sacrifice, of humility and self-denial, a burning love for Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, and a sweet tender love for Mary, my Mother.  Saint Joseph, be with me living, be with me dying, and obtain for me a favorable judgement from Jesus, my merciful Savior.   Amen

Saint Joseph, obtain for me the grace to bear my sufferings patiently for the love of Jesus and Mary and to  believe in the love of Jesus and Mary. St. Joseph, make me love Jesus and  Mary with all my heart.

"I do not remember ever having asked anything of St. Joseph that he did not grant me , nor can I think without amazement of the great graces God grants through his intercession" Saint Teresa of Avila

St. Joseph, pray for the Holy Father, that whatever shackles bind him from consecrating Russia may be broken and the consecration  of Russia to the  Blessed Virgin Mary be accomplished. For the conversion of Rome; for the conversion of the Pope and the conversion of all poor sinners.

†Blessed and exalted be the Precious Blood of Jesus and the Sorrowful and the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary, with love and reparation. Fiat!  Hail Mary. Amen†
