Hard to believe this great year of St Joseph closes on Wednesday. I honestly wished I took more advantage of all the graces of the year. But today we got to go to a shrine to St Joseph. My wife and I planned to go but my daughter called and asked if we could watch her two children for a few hours. So we said let’s bring them with us. Then we thought , well let’s give our son & daughter in law a break and take 2 of their 3 (soon to be 4- the six month old too small yet). So off went Gtammy and Pop and 4 limitless ones under the age of 4 to say hello to St. Joseph and Jesus! It was one of the best days ever. The kids enjoyed and even got a few prayers in. Thank you St Joseph for being the protector of our little tribe.
Aww wonderful! I feel the same way about the year of St. Joseph ending... But my family did the consecration to St. Joseph last spring and so as I was telling St. Joseph the other day, it doesn't matter for us that his year is ending; he has to take us with him wherever he goes now. We're under his cloak. The first novena I ever prayed to get pregnant with a longed-for first child was to St. Joseph. I immediately conceived but I lost him in a miscarriage. I named him Joseph Marie, so I often remind St. Joseph too that my oldest in Heaven is named after him so we get some dibbs on his help! Lol. Truly, though, he is a very powerful saint and has walked with me and intervened in an obvious way through everything I've ever put into his hands. His year ending will not end his powerful help and protection. It was only a great gift of more exposure for this wonderful saint and turning more hearts toward him so that more will be calling on him through all that lies ahead. He will not leave us; he's our protector and the terror of demons!
I am renewing the entrustment to St. Joseph according to Fr. Mark Goring, to end on 8 December, the end of the year of St. JOSEPH. This time, my wife and kids are joining in.
I have much to thank St Joseph for, but I must also that the lovely person who posted The Cloak of St Joseph prayer on here maybe around the summer of 2020. This is one of my go to YouTube prayers for my car journey home and I’ve even learnt some of it off by heart. This forum is such a rich source of advice. Thankyou for the St Joseph prayers.
