Prayer to St Joseph

Hail, Guardian of the Redeemer,

Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

To you God entrusted His only Son;

in you Mary placed her trust;

with you Christ became man.

Blessed Joseph, to us too, 

show yourself a father and guide us in the 

path of life.

Obtain for us grace, mercy, and courage,

and defend us from every evil.

Amen.

A Prayer for Easter

Risen Lord, 

the joyful message is that suffering and death were not the end.

You rose triumphantly in a new and glorified body, opening the door for all who believe in You to do the same.  Draw me in, dear Lord, to Your suffering and death so that I may also be drawn into the glory of Your Resurrection.  Give me the courage You had as You endured so much.  Help me to face the crosses in my life with Your strength.  As I do, fill me with hope as I anticipate the new life You will bring from all sufferings united to You.  

We ask this, in Your name.             Amen.

May God bless you,
