IN HONOR OF SAINT JOSEPH
Patron Saint of the Universal Church
Saint Joseph Day is a Solemnity that falls in the midst of Lent, on March 19. It is not a day of fasting, but a day of feasting. Have a feast that day! Have your favorite treats and foods. Lenten penance is suspended on Saint Joseph Day. But remember something else: Our sacrifice of prayer for our world should be more intentional on Saint Joseph Day. Here's what we do...
THE BLESSED SACRAMENT WILL BE EXPOSED on Wednesday, March 19 – SOLEMNITY OF SAINT JOSEPH – from 7:15 AM-12:00 PM, and from 12:30 PM-5:00 PM. Please take this opportunity for silent prayer, adoration, and meditation. Honor St. Joseph by begging his intercession for your personal intentions, as well as the following:
-
Peace in our homes, families, workplaces, and in our world.
-
For those who have lost loved ones by war or violence, especially orphaned children.
-
For greater respect for all human life, from conception until natural death.
-
For the poor and marginalized.
-
For the grace of a happy death.
Saint Joseph, Pray for us!
