In this episode, the meditation 40 steps to Easter.

A prayer to St. Joseph, patron of the Universal Church.

A preview of the sermon, St. Joseph, our model for happiness. Today's news from the church

tonschers in first minor orders at a cone, and today's thought from the Archbishop.

But first the collect of today's Mass. Oh God, who in thine unspeakable Providence did vouchsafe

to choose Blessed Joseph for thy most holy mother's spouse,

grant we beseech thee that we who revere him as our protector on earth may become worthy

to have him for our intercessor in heaven.

The prayer to St. Joseph, patron of the Universal Church, composed by Pope Leo the 13th.

Most powerful patriarch, St. Joseph, patron of the Universal Church, which has always invoked

thee in anxiety and trouble from the exalted seat of thy glory, cast a loving glance

upon the whole Catholic world.

Let thy fatherly heart be touched at the sight of the mystical spouse, and the vicar of Christ

overwhelmed with sorrow,

and persecuted by powerful enemies. Oh, by the bitter anguish thou did's experience upon earth,

dry the tears of the venerable pontiff, defend him, comfort him, intercede for him with the

giver of peace and charity, that all adversity being removed and all error dissipated,

the entire church may serve God in perfect liberty. Amen. Today's meditation, 40 steps to Easter.

Thought, whoever wishes to be the greatest among you shall be your servant, even as the son of man has come not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.

Practice. Today, I will do five little services for others without attracting attention.
