Saint Joseph

It is an excellent idea to unite to our prayers a costly act: the sacrifice of something dear to our hearts adds an irresistible weight to our supplication.

First Sunday of Lent

Temptation of Jesus in the desert

The devil carried Jesus to a very high mountain, and showing Him all the kingdoms of the world, he said to Him, “I will give You all these things, if You will worship and adore me.” Then Jesus said to him, “Get back! Satan; for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and Him only shalt thou serve.”

Saint Joseph

This is how souls who have taken Saint Joseph as their patron and model live and die, full of serenity. Let us also be, during this month and always, the imitators of this great Saint.

Sign of the Cross

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, and of the Mother of God. Amen.

Preparatory Prayer

O Jesus! We are going to walk with You on the road to Calvary which was so painful for You. Make us understand the greatness of Your sufferings, touch our hearts with tender compassion at the sight of Your torments, in order to increase in us the regret of our faults and the love we wish to have for You.
Deign to apply to all of us the infinite merits of Your Passion, and in memory of Your sorrows, show mercy to the souls in Purgatory, especially to those who are most abandoned.
O Divine Mary, who first taught us to make the Way of the Cross, obtain for us the grace to follow Jesus with the sentiments Your Heart was filled with as You accompanied Him on the road to Calvary. Grant that we may weep with You, and that we may love Your divine Son as You do. We ask this in the name of His adorable Heart. Amen.
