3. Say a daily prayer or litany to St Joseph
Dear St. Joseph, humble and obedient servant of God. I come before you seeking your powerful intercession.
Pray for me that I may live faithfully my personal vocation and mission. Help me to embrace silence so that I may hear the voice of Christ in my life so that he may guide me on the path he has chosen for me.
Equip me with the skills I need to accomplish my life’s work and protect me from worldly distractions that drive me away from God’s will.
In imitation of you St. Joseph, may I live by faith, humility, and obedience, submitting my mind and heart to God with complete trust and confidence in Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen!
St. Joseph, pray for us.
