Today is a Solemnity in the Church with the feast of Saint Joseph, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary.The Church prays:
Grant, we pray, almighty God, that by Saint Joseph's intercession your Church may constantly watch over the unfolding of the mysteries of human salvation, whose beginnings you entrusted to his faithful care.
A magnificent prayer to pay attention to during lectio.

Several people and organizations to pray for today: my father, Edward Joseph, Pope Benedict XVI (Joseph), Brother Joseph at Portsmouth Abbey, the Cistercian abbey of Saint Joseph (Spencer, MA), the Archdiocese of Hartford (the Cathedral of Saint Joseph), the Dominican Province of Saint Joseph, and several other friends named Joseph. Let's not also forget the Universal Church is under St Joseph, whose patronage she is.
