\nThe Holy Father’s words inspired me to share with you, dear readers, my own Prayer to Saint Joseph for Priests<\/u>.<\/strong>
\nO glorious Saint Joseph,
\nwho, on the word of the angel
\nspeaking to you in the night,
\nput fear aside to take your Virgin Bride into your home,
\nshow yourself today the advocate and protector of priests.
\nGuardian of the Infant Christ,
\ndefend them against every attack of the enemy,
\npreserve them from the dangers that surround them
\non every side.
\nRemember Herod’s threats against the Child,
\nthe anguish of the flight into Egypt by night,
\nand the hardships of your exile.
\nStand by the accused;
\nstretch out your hand to those who have fallen;
\ncomfort the fearful;
\nforsake not the weak;
\nand visit the lonely.
\nLet all priests know that in you
\nGod has given them a model
\nof faith in the night, obedience in adversity,
\nchastity in tenderness, and hope in uncertainty.
\nYou are the terror of demons
\nand the healer of those wounded in spiritual combat.
\nCome to the defence of every priest in need;
\novercome evil with good.
\nWhere there are curses, put blessings,
\nwhere harm has been done, do good.
\nLet there be joy for the priests of the Church,
\nand peace for all under your gracious protection.
\nAmen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
