As today is Wednesday, March 12, 2025, during the Lenten season, a fitting prayer is the Prayer to St. Joseph, honoring the foster father of Jesus and patron of the universal Church.
Prayer to St. Joseph
O Blessed Saint Joseph, faithful guardian and protector of virgins, to whom God entrusted Jesus and Mary, I implore you by the love which you did bear them, to preserve me from every defilement of soul and body, that I may always serve them in holiness and purity of love. Amen.
Supporting Bible Verse:
When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him; he took his wife.
Matthew 1:24
This verse reflects St. Joseph’s obedience and trust in God’s plan, qualities we seek to emulate through this prayer.
