Day 6 ~ 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 15th

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

The Presentation

As the solemnity of St. Joseph approaches, we recall the worship that St. Joseph and Our Lady offer God in the temple. “When the days were completed for their purification according to the law of Moses, they took him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord and to offer the sacrifice.” (Lk 2:22, 24)

A brief period of silence is observed.

V. My soul yearns and pines for the courts of theLORD.

R. My heart and flesh cry out for the living God.

O Joseph most faithful, obtain for us through your divine Son the grace of true worship.

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!
