Daily Devotions to St. Joseph - Day 22

[Cathleen]

"And she brought forth her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger"  (Luke 2:7).  How great must have been the joy of St. Joseph when he heard Mary calling him and saying, "Joseph, come and adore our infant God, Who is just born in this cave.  Behold how beautiful He is.  Look at the King of the world in this manger, on this straw.  See how He, Who makes the seraphs burn with love, trembles with cold.  Behold how He Who is the joy of paradise, weeps!"  Dear St. Joseph, through the joy which you received at the first sight of the infant Jesus in the crib, so beautiful and lovely that your heart began from that moment to beat with love for Him alone, obtain for me also the grace to love Jesus with an ardent love on earth so that I may one day go to enjoy Him in heaven.

St. Joseph, share with me a little of the burning love that thou did bear to Jesus.

[Gloria]

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

†Saint Joseph obtain for  me and my family the grace to love Jesus with an ardent love on earth so that we may one day go to enjoy Him in heaven. St. Joseph, share with me and my family a little of the burning love that thou did bear to Jesus.†

"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
