Event Description

*For all Crusader members and their families, plus any private intentions

O Glorious St. Joseph, model of all those who are devoted to labor, obtain the grace for me to work conscientiously, putting the call of duty above my natural inclinations; to work with gratitude and joy, in a spirit of penance for the remission of my sins, considering it an honor to develop by means of labor the gifts received from God; to work with order, peace, moderation and patience, without ever shrinking from weariness and difficulties; to work above all with purity of intention and detachment from self, having always death before my eyes and the account I must render of time lost, of talents wasted, of good omitted, of vain complacency in success, so fatal to the work of God.

All for Jesus, through Mary, all after thine own example, O Patriarch St. Joseph. Such shall be my watchword in life and in death.

+Amen

~Pope St. Pius X

I always liked this prayer. My mother prays it often if any one of us are having employment concerns. Now she is praying it for her grandkids. ;-) Plus the prayer was written by the great Pope St. Pius X, who was a "Guiseppe" before he became Pope (but once a Joseph, always a Joseph) :-D

"Go to Joseph" - he understands!

Thanks to all who participate in this novena.

If you don't like or it wasn't what you had in mind just delete and replace.

Thank you for this event btw!!!!

If someone can fix that picture a bit for me, I would appreciate it. Or maybe I can find a better one.

Thanks!
