A Prayer to Saint Joseph:
O blessed Joseph, faithful guardian of my Redeemer, Jesus Christ, protector
of thy chaste spouse, the virgin Mother of God, I choose thee this day to
be my special patron and advocate, and I firmly resolve to honor thee all
the days of my life. Therefore, I humbly beseech thee to receive me as thy
client, to instruct me in every doubt, to comfort me in every affliction,
to obtain for me and for all the knowledge and love of the Heart of Jesus,
and finally to defend and protect me at the hour of my death. Amen

| 0:00.0 | And we're live. Welcome back to the Loopcast. It's Tom Erica and Josh. The Loopcast is brought to you by the Loop Every Catholic American's Favorite Morning newsletter. Good morning, everyone. Happy March for Life. Maybe you're tuned into this after you attend the March for Life. Shout out to everyone there. Really one of my favorite, I feel like it was almost like a Catholic rite of passage to load up the bus from wherever you are across the country and head over. I've been to many marches myself. And, you know, most marches, people are kind of marching for themselves. And this is one of the rarest, most unique. Like, people are marching for people that don't even, haven't even existed yet. So just a beautiful, beautiful time of year. I love the March for |
| 0:37.9 | Life. I love the Catholic involvement in it. And so shout out to everyone there. I got some |
| 0:41.9 | emails from people that are attending asking if we'll be there. Unfortunately, we're not. |
| 0:46.0 | Tim Foil Thomas on the ground. And we have a Margaret from our organization is there. So Catholic |
| 0:51.6 | vote is represented. But yeah, just a beautiful time. |
| 0:54.3 | I have a lot of great memories. |
| 0:56.0 | I would sacrifice and make the trip, but it's so wonderfully warm here. |
| 1:01.9 | Negative one, I didn't want to leave. |
| 1:04.6 | Hot take up top. |

| 1:11.4 | And people are raiding shelves. |
| 1:13.2 | They're freaking out. But you're not worried. You're Han Solo. You've been to the family. Yeah. Tom went with the Star Wars theme for Fridays. I like, I swear, I get dressed in the morning. I look down. I'm like, oh, I see myself on the camera, like, oh, people are going to be for sure. |
| 1:27.3 | Yeah. |
| 1:27.6 | I look like so and so. |
| 1:29.0 | Yeah. |
| 1:29.6 | Went with Han Solo today. |
| 1:30.7 | Hey, if I could do it, I'm like, oh, I see myself on the camera. I'm like, oh, people are going to be for sure. Yeah. I look like so-and-so. |
| 1:29.0 | What with Han Solo today? If I could do it, I'd try it. He's ready for the ice storm. What's that creature that Han Solo climbed inside of for the ice storm? Oh, that's a good call. A Tantan, yeah. Thank you, the Tonson. I think you, resident nerd. |
