Day 1 — Saint Joseph, a just man
Reading
The Gospel calls Joseph a "just man" (Matthew 1:19). His justice was not merely the fulfillment of the Law but a total surrender to God. In every decision he sought the divine will and fulfilled it promptly and generously, without seeking his own glory.
Prayer of the Day
Glorious Saint Joseph, just and faithful man, intercede for me that I may live uprightly and always seek the will of God in every decision of my life. Amen.
Final Prayer (for all days)
Glorious patriarch Saint Joseph, whose power reaches what is impossible to men, come to my aid in these moments of anguish and difficulty. Take under your protection the grave and difficult situations I entrust to you, that they may have a happy solution. My beloved Father, all my confidence is placed in you. Let it never be said that I have invoked you in vain. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
(Our Father, Hail Mary, and Gloria).
