Day 5 ~ Novena for the Solemnity of Saint Joseph

(As shared on the website for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Norwich, CT)

“The USCCB has composed this novena to be prayed yearly on March 10-18, the nine days that precede the Solemnity of Saint Joseph on March 19.”

March 14th

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

The Naming

As the solemnity of St. Joseph approaches, we recall the service of authority which St. Joseph carries out in the Holy Family. “When eight days were completed for his circumcision, he was named Jesus, the name given him by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.” (Lk 2:21)

A brief period of silence is observed.

V. You have given him rule over the works of your hands,

R. put all things at his feet.

O Head of the Holy Family, obtain for us through your divine Son the grace to accept God’s upward calling in Christ Jesus.

Concluding Prayer

Hail, Guardian of the Redeemer Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
To you God entrusted his only Son;
in you, Mary placed her trust;
with you Christ became man.

 

“Each day of the novena is accompanied by a reflection video from bishops across the United States.”  The video can be found here.

God bless you!

Our Mission

As Sisters of Charity of Our Lady, Mother of the Church we embrace our two-fold mission of sanctity and service. In a spirit of simplicity we aspire to live a life rooted in the Gospel, in imitation of Mary and expressed by prayer, charity, self sacrifice and loving obedience. We devote ourselves to the works of charity, and as true daughters in the heart of the Church, we serve others through the apostolates of education, caring for the sick, the aging and the poor, wherever there is a need.
