A Litany for the Feast of St. Joseph - March 19

Tranquility by Timothy P. Schmalz

St. Joseph is venerated as the patron of fathers, family life, patience and purity, workers, carpenters, the troubled and the dying.  

Here's last year's post on St. Joseph Day, and here is a St. Joseph Litany:

Lamb of God, Who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.

Let us pray:

Almighty God, in Your infinite wisdom and love,
You chose Joseph to be the husband of Mary, the mother of Your Son.
As we enjoy his protection on earth,
may we have the help of his prayers in heaven.
We ask You this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
