Lord Jesus - you learned from your parents, Joseph and Mary.
Christ Jesus - you are the beloved son of the Father.
Lord Jesus - you are our savior and our redeemer.
Priest: As we celebrate the solemnity of St Joseph today, we present our prayers to our heavenly Father:
1. For our Holy Father, Pope Francis, our Bishop Joseph Kopacz, and all our Church leaders, may they follow the example of St. Joseph and lead us through a responsible and dedicated leadership.
2. For our Christian community, that may we respect and love each other, and be dedicated to our families by following the example of Saint Joseph.
3. For those entrusted with responsibility in various ministries of the Church, may they set a modern Christian example for the people they lead, let us pray to the Lord.
4. For all laborers and workers, may Saint Joseph the Worker inspire us to work wholeheartedly in this world, seeking always to give God glory and be faithful to our duties.
5. For all humanity, that through the intercession of Saint Joseph, we may find the opportunity to have secure employment and a fitting standard of living.
6. For healing for the sick and shut-in in body, mind, and spirit.
Priest: With faith and hope, we present these prayers through your son Jesus Christ, our Lord forever and ever. AMEN.
