Monday, March 21st

DAY 1

MORNING PRAYER

On Saturday it was the feast day of St. Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus. Last year, Pope Francis dedicated the entire year to St. Joseph. Pope Francis reminded us that we should look to St. Joseph for guidance and remember him when we pray.  

Lord,

As we continue our Lenten journey,

help us to remember to pray more, give more,

and fast from things, so that we can deeper our relationship

with you and each other.

Thank you for the life of St. Joseph

so that we can see an example of faith in action.

Through Christ our Lord.

Amen

St. Joseph pray for us.
