I wore my red today in honor of St. Joseph and his day! Such an honorable man and saint! A man of miracles!

 

Prayer:

"O Glorious St. Joseph, you who were entrusted with the care of Jesus and Mary, I come to you with humble confidence. Intercede for me and my family, that we may be guided by your example of faith, obedience, and love. Obtain for us the grace to live lives worthy of your name, and to be faithful protectors of the Holy Family. Amen." 

Quote:

"Saint Joseph was a just man, a tireless worker, the upright guardian of those entrusted to his care. May he always guard, protect, and enlighten families." 

- Pope John Paul II 

I wore my red today in honor of St. Joseph and his day! Such an honorable man and saint! I love the prayer and quote. I also heard that St. Joseph is the Father of the dying. What a blessing for all of us! I always know that St. Joseph's day is on March 19th, it is two days after St. Patrick. One time when I was in New Orleans they had a nice St. Joseph's Day Parade there, it was so very nice! Catholics love St. Joseph for all he stands for. He took Mary as his wife when all would talk, He listened to the angels and God, instead, he is a very honorable Father and man. Catholics usually wear red on his day. I know I did! I say a prayer to him each day, for the dying and deceased. My sister and my friend Jane bother contacted me to wish me a nice day, since I have the same namesake as St. Joseph. St. Joseph is so honorable, not just because we share the same name, but for all he stands for and did for Jesus and Mary. Thank you St. Joseph for all you do. We heard a story about St. Joseph too once when we went to Santa Fe about a special staircase, The famous "Miraculous Staircase" at Loretto Chapel in Santa Fe, New Mexico, is a spiral staircase built without a central support or nails, and is said to be a marvel of woodworking, with some believing it was built by St. Joseph. It is a true marvel and miracle and I do believe in miracles and so many great things St. Joseph did for all of us! God bless you always!
