Prayer for Wednesdays

Prayer for Wednesday – In Honor of Saint Joseph

Wednesday is traditionally dedicated to Saint Joseph, the humble and faithful guardian of the Holy Family. Silent in Scripture yet powerful in virtue, Joseph teaches us the beauty of obedience, quiet strength, and trust in God’s providence. He is the model of workers, the protector of families, and the defender of the Church.

As we turn to him midweek, we are reminded that holiness often hides in ordinary duties — in faithfulness, purity, and silent endurance. Let us place our cares under his fatherly protection, asking that he guide us to live with integrity and peace, just as he did in serving the mystery of God made flesh.

Now, with confidence in his intercession, let us pray:

Prayer

O God, who in your inexpressible providence were pleased to choose Saint Joseph as spouse of the most holy Mother of your Son, grant, we pray, that we, who revere him as our protector on earth, may be worthy of his heavenly intercession.

Lord, may we live for you always in justice and holiness, helped by the example and intercession of Saint Joseph, who in carrying out your great mysteries served you as a man just and obedient.
