For the Feast of St. Joseph, I found this litany to pray. There are a number of novenas and prayers for St. Joseph the Worker, but I was looking for something to honor him in his role as Jesus' foster-father on earth. We take today to celebrate dh's vocation as father and husband, especially.
I've found a number of images to decorate the house with--ones emphasizing his fatherly and protective role. Doodle likes to cut them out and paste them on construction paper--that's the extent of our craftiness over here! Here's a coloring page, too.
Let us pray
that the Church will continue
the saving work of Christ.
Father,
You entrusted our Savior to the care of St. Joseph,
By the help of his prayers
may the Church continue to serve its Lord,
Jesus Christ,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
St. Joseph, patron of the Universal Church, pray for us!
