Saints of the Week
Join Pope Francis in 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 fatjer and guide us in the path of life.
Obtain for us grace, mercy and courage, and defend us from every evil.
Amen.
