It's been said that the family is the domestic church.

So let's pray for the protection of families. Let's pray for all families

to grow in holiness and for their love and faith to multiply with each generation. Let's remember

too to pray for families that may be struggling right now. Here are the prayers for today. Day four.

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

Amen. St. Joseph, you are the faithful protector and intercessor of all who love and venerate you.

You know that I have confidence in you and that after Jesus and Mary, I come to you as an example for holiness, for you are especially close with God. Therefore, I humbly commend myself

with all who are dear to me and all that belong to me to your intercession. I beg of you, by your love for

Jesus and Mary, not to abandon me during life, and of you, by your love for Jesus and Mary,

not to abandon me during life

and to assist me at the hour of my death.

Glorious St. Joseph, spouse of the Immaculate Virgin,

pray for me to have a pure, humble, charitable mind,

and perfect resignation to the divine will. Be my guide, my father, and my model through life,

that I may die as you did in the arms of Jesus and Mary. Loving St. Joseph, faithful follower of Jesus Christ,

I raise my heart to you to implore your powerful intercession in obtaining from the divine heart of Jesus

all the grace is necessary for my spiritual and temporal welfare,

particularly the grace of a happy death and the special grace I now implore.
