Lord, have mercy

Lord, have mercy
Saint Joseph, chaste spouse of Mary, have mercy on us.
Saint Joseph, protector of the family, have mercy on us.
Saint Joseph, model of fatherhood, have mercy on us.
Saint Joseph, pillar of strength, have mercy on us.
Saint Joseph, defender of faith, have mercy on us.
Saint Joseph, man of courage, have mercy on us.
Saint Joseph, servant of God, have mercy on us.
Let us pray, we ask you Saint Joseph to be an inspiration to all men today, to follow your example of fatherhood, your example of commitment to Mary and Jesus, your example of loving care and protection to your family, and your example of authentic fatherhood and manhood.
We ask you to take our prayers to Mary and Jesus.
- Amen.
