Day 2 — Saint Joseph, spouse of Mary

Reading

Saint Joseph was chosen by God to be the spouse of the Virgin Mary and guardian of her virginity. His love for Mary was pure, faithful, and self-giving. In their holy marriage, Joseph and Mary teach us that true love is service, respect, and mutual surrender.

Prayer of the Day

Saint Joseph, faithful spouse of the Virgin Mary, protect all marriages and families. Teach us to love with purity, fidelity, and generosity, as you loved Mary. 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).
