My favorite prayer to St. Joseph:
ReplyDeleteIN PRAISE
(Note: This prayer was taken from the booklet "Devotions to Saint Joseph" by Brian Moore, S.J., printed and published by the Society of St. Paul.)
All the hosts of heaven praise you, Joseph,
for in your arms you carried the Son of God.
Alone of all men you were found worthy to be
the husband of the Virgin Mother,
and to carry in your arms the Son of God.
He who ruled all things obeyed you,
and He who teaches the whole creation
was taught by you.
The Church on earth sings your praise,
for in your lowly house she had her beginning,
for you alone of all men were found worthy to be
the husband of the Church's Mother,
and to carry in your arms the Christ
whose Body she is.
"...and to carry in your arms the Christ whose Body she is."
