St. Joseph, Guardian and Protector of Holy Church

I suspect many people do not know, or have forgotten, that St. Joseph is the Guardian of the Church. How we need him now!

Dear St. Joseph, Guardian and Protector of holy Church,

protect us now in our time of trial.

Pray for the holy father, all bishops, priests and deacons.

Pray for families and for all children.

The Eternal Father entrusted His Divine Son to your care;

we entrust ourselves, our families and our Church to your prayers.

Do not fail us Joseph, dear brother and friend.

Amen

(A prayer I composed for our First Saturday devotions)
