A Family Prayer to St. Joseph

For Closeness & Mutual Understanding

Saint Joseph, as Mary’s spouse, like us, you have known family life. Your mutual love naturally turned towards the Son of God who became your child. And, like us, your love grew amidst joys and sorrows. Saint Joseph, protect our family today. Help us understand each other. Do not let pride and selfishness hinder our affection for one another. Make us more and more faithful to our commitment and throughout the days, let us become, together, closer to the Son of God, who lives forever at the heart of our family.

Amen
