You're listening to the I Pray with the Gospel Lenton Reflection on the St. Jose Maria Institute podcast.

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

My Lord and my God affirm me to believe that you are here,

that you see me, that you hear me.

I adore you with profound reverence.

Ask your pardon for my sins and the grace to make this time a prayer fruitful.

My Immaculate Mother, St. Joseph, my Father and Lord,

my guardian angel, intercede for me. The Feast of St. Joseph.

A reading from the Gospel of Luke, Chapter 2.

After three days they found him in the temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them, and asking them questions.

And his mother said to him, son, why have you treated us so? Behold, your father and I have been looking

for you anxiously. He said to them, how is it that you sought me? Did you not know that I must be

my father's house? They did not understand the saying which he spoke to them and he went on with them and came to nazareth and was obedient to them

the most wonderful treasures of god jesus and mary cannot be entrusted to anyone other than st. Joseph. No one ever has been trusted more,

and so no one ever has been given more. St. Joseph is compared to the other patriarch Joseph,

the son of Jacob. Sold by his brothers, he ended up a slave in Egypt. But God was with him,

and eventually he was entrusted with all of Pharaoh's fortune.

So when the famine came, and people started asking Pharaoh for help, he just told them,

Go to Joseph.

If you want to find Jesus, go to Joseph.

He found him after three sorrowful days.

If you want to love Jesus, go to Joseph. He loves him madly. If you want to love Jesus, go to Joseph. He loves him madly.
