MORNING PRAYER TO ST. JOSEPH

(Note: This prayer was taken from the booklet "Devotions to Saint Joseph" by Brian Moore, S.J., printed and published by the Society of St. Paul)

How great the grace that was yours, Joseph,

That every day every thing you did

was done for Jesus and Mary;

How great was your glory now

if even a cup of water given in Jesus' name

will not go unrewarded (Mt 10:42).

By your powerful intercession, win for me the grace

that everything I do this day

may be done for God alone;

and that I may serve Christ in serving others,

and serve him, as did you,

in union with Mary, the mother of Jesus.
