Day 4 — Saint Joseph, obedient to God's will

Reading

Four times an angel appeared to Joseph in dreams, and four times he obeyed without hesitation: he accepted Mary as his wife, fled to Egypt, returned to Israel, and settled in Nazareth. His prompt and silent obedience is a model for every Christian.

Prayer of the Day

Saint Joseph, obedient to the voice of God, help me to listen attentively to what God asks of me and to fulfill it promptly, even when I do not fully understand his plans. 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).
