Daily Devotions to St. Joseph - Day 11

[Cathleen]

We must believe that the life of St. Joseph, spent in the presence  of Jesus and Mary, was a continual prayer, abounding in acts of faith, confidence, love, resignation and oblation.  Since then the reward of the saints corresponds to their merits during life, consider how great must be the glory of St. Joseph in heaven.  St. Augustine compares the other saints to the stars but St. Joseph to the sun.

It is then very reasonable to suppose that St. Joseph, after Mary, surpasses all the other saints in merit and glory.  The Venerable Bernadine de Bustis says that when St. Joseph asks for any grave for those who are devoted to him, his prayers have in a certain manner the force of a command with Jesus and Mary.

St. Joseph, obtain for us the great spirit of prayer.

I ask for the grace to imitate your virtues, St. Joseph, so I may be pleasing to the Heart of God.

"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

Saint Joseph , obtain for me and family the grace of a very devoted love for Jesus Christ, my God and my Savior and our Blessed Mother Mary.  Help us to serve Him with some of the self-sacrificing love  and devotion which you had while on this earth with Him.  Grant that  through your intercession with Jesus,your foster-Son. we may reach the degree of holiness God has destined for us and save our families souls.
