Event Description

Daily Devotions to St. Joseph by St. Alphonsus de Ligouri, adapted by Fr. Hugh J. O'Connell, C.S.S.R.

Imprimatur:  1962

 

These short but fervent devotions to St. Joseph, arranged for each day of the month have been taken from the writings of St. Alphonsus de Ligouri.  Each line bears testimony to the respect, confidence and love which St. Alphonsus felt for the foster father of Jesus Christ.

There is a devotional prayer for each of 31 days.  Since October has 31 days, it seemed a good time to do this devotion.  Since St. Joseph figured so prominently in the last apparition at Fatima, on October 13, 1917, it seemed fitting to have some prayers to him in October. 

We need his help and protection more than ever.

The following  prayer is to be said each day after the daily reflection .  I will post the individual day's reflections in October.

Most Holy Patriarch St. Joseph, I rejoice at the great dignity to which thou has been raised in being made foster father of the Son of God, endowed with authority to command Him Whom heaven and earth obey.

 

My holy patron, since Jesus Himself respected and served thee as a father, I also wish to enroll myself in thy service.  I choose thee, after Mary, for my principal advocate and protector.  I promise to honor thee every day with some special devotion, and every day I will place myself under thy protection.

 

As thou did enjoy the sweet company of Jesus and Mary during thy life on earth, grant that I may ever live close to them and never be separated from God by losing His grace.  And as thou were assisted by Jesus and Mary at the hour of thy death, so grant me protection at the hour of my death, that by dying in thy presence and that of Jesus and Mary, I may one day go to thank thee in paradise, and in thy company praise and love God for all eternity.

 

+Amen

 

St. Joseph, patron of the universal church, protect us.  Protect our Holy Father, the Pope and our Mother, Holy Church.

I will be posting the daily prayers in the Blog section as well.  But maybe the link below will be helpful since our group is all over the world and across many time zones.  Plus you can always print out or save the .pdf file to your computer.

Daily Devotions to St. Joseph

Here is a link to all of the prayers.  I hope I did this correctly.  I am "computer challenged."  :-p

Thank you, Shawn!  :-D

I will be putting the daily prayers on the "Blog" section on this site.  I think that is the easiest way to do it.  The prayer above will stay here, in case I goof something up.  Been known to happen!  ;-D

I hope I was clear in explaining this event.  My head feels like it is full of cotton today.  :-p

Once October starts I will be posting the reflections for each day.

Thank you to Susan Welch for suggesting this!  :)
