Daily Devotions to St. Joseph - Day 23

[Cathleen]

"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men of good will"  (Luke 2:14).  Consider how great was the love and tenderness of St. Joseph when he beheld with his own eyes the Son of God become an infant, when he heard the angels singing around their newborn Lord, and saw the stable filled with light.  Kneeling down and weeping with love and compassion, Joseph said, "I adore Thee, yes, I adore Thee, my Lord and my God.  How great is my happiness to be the first, after Mary, to see Thee born, and to know that in this world Thou wishes to be called and reputed my Son!  Allow me then, also to call Thee my Son, and to say:  My God and my Son, to Thee I consecrate my whole being.  My life shall be no longer mine, but shall be Thine without reserve." 

St. Joseph, grant that I may spend my life, like thee, in the service of God.
