St. Joesph

Midday

Serenity Prayer

God, give us grace to accept with serenity

the things that cannot be changed,

Courage to change the things

which should be changed,

and the Wisdom to distinguish

the one from the other.

Living one day at a time,

Enjoying one moment at a time,

Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace,

Taking, as Jesus did,

This sinful world as it is,

Not as I would have it,

Trusting that You will make all things right,

If I surrender to Your will,

So that I may be reasonably happy in this life,

And supremely happy with You forever in the next. Amen.

L: Pray for us O Holy Mother of God

R: That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ

Let us pray: Mary, guide me a sinner in the little way of love. Help me to know God's will in every moment. Pray that I may have boldness and courage at even the most difficult of circumstances to do God's ordaining will and only God's ordaining will. Help me to reveal Him as You did/do. Teach me the path of virtue, receptivity, vulnerability, and authenticity which You so hastily followed. Pray that the effects of sin I retain, those I have inflicted, and those inflicted on others by others be healed. I entrust my salvation, the salvation of those I love, and those I struggle to love to Your care, love, and mercy. In such trust, I hope for a better tomorrow for the world, at least through those I am entrusted with and myself. Through your intercession, I ask my love for Him whom You bore and those He loves be my strength and glory as I walk this pilgrimage here below as it was and is for You and all saints. Beneath your protection and intercession may I be purged of my sin, given the mind and heart of Christ, and united to Christ more than a spouse, first in His Passion, and thence in His resurrection that all those I encounter and myself may, with You, praise God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit through all eternity.

Saint Joseph, pray for us. 

Saint…, pray for us.
