The Church prays:<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
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.<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

“Today is the day to celebrate fatherhood. To be a\u00a0father is not an easy challenge – there are many difficulties that go with it. We\u00a0<\/span>can look to St. Joseph, who quietly – as I would say, one of the ‘silent\u00a0<\/span>fathers’ – handled whatever needed to be handled…it is important [that fathers]\u00a0<\/span>pray for discernment, to pray for patience, to pray for these qualities, which\u00a0<\/span>can make one a good father.”<\/span><\/div>\n

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.<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
