Joseph Companion of Hope
God the source of all life
Your word nourishes us
As it did Joseph, companion of hope.
May it also nourish our faith
And make us grow in love of you.
Help us recognize your Spirit
At work in our world.
May the Spirit inspire us to respond
To the needs of our time,
And give us the strength to work out solutions,
As Joseph did.
Guide us on the way of compassion,
That we may be present to the sufferings we see around us.
Help us to be filled with loving care and tender concern
The way Joseph did for Jesus.
Should our courage fail us for a moment,
Make us remember, compassionate God,
The courage of Joseph,
Who accompanies us on the way.
May hope be for us,
As it was for Joseph,
A light in the darkness and a guide along the way
Every day of our life.
Amen.
