Today is the Feast of Saint Joseph!

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. 
Blessed Joseph, to us too, show yourself a father and guide us in the path of life. 
Obtain for us grace, mercy and courage, and defend us from every evil. Amen.


St Joseph, Spouse of the Mother of God and Foster Father of the Redeemer, obtain for all families the kind of love that will enable married couples to give themselves to each other unconditionally because of the sacramental presence of Christ and their freely-made vows. 
Thanks to a love like that, a family is formed, develops, matures and is a source of peace, unity and happiness for children as well as for parents.
Amen

St. Joseph, you are the chaste and loving spouse of the Virgin Mary, the foster father of Jesus, the protector and provider of the Holy Family and of all families. 
We have complete confidence in your loving care for new life and in your fidelity to the family. 
We commend our efforts to your prayers and protection. 
Help us always to defend the gift of human life that it may grow to the abundance of eternal life promised and bestowed on us by your son, our brother, Jesus Christ. 
Amen.

>We know the words “Go to Joseph” in the Scriptures; now and always we obey this command. Therefore we shall lie hidden with thee, o patron, we shall rest behind thee, tired and pressed, surrounded by our enemies. Therefore, come now, our champion, swiftly defend us against evil spirit and men; safely deliver us to the goal of our journey, to Jesus, the son of Thy spouse whom thou kept safe; o chaste, o prudent, o faithful Spouse of Mary.

Do any of you have any favorite devotions to Saint Joseph? I personally like the devotion to his Seven Sorrows and Seven Joys.
