A Prayer to St. Joseph, Defender of Life
Dearest St. Joseph, at the word of an angel, you
lovingly took Mary into your home. As God’s humble servant, you guided the Holy
Family on the road to Bethlehem, welcomed Jesus as your own son in the shelter
of a manger, and fled far from your homeland into Egypt for the safety of both Mother and Child. We praise God
that as their faithful protector, you never hesitated to sacrifice yourself for those entrusted to
you. May your example inspire us also to welcome, cherish, and safeguard God’s
most precious gift of life. Help us to faithfully commit ourselves to the
service and defense of human life —especially where it is vulnerable or
threatened. Obtain for us the grace to do the will of God in all things. Amen.
