St. Joseph's Day, March 19th, 2020

Dear Friends,

I write this message to you on the Feast of St. Joseph (March 19th, 2020).  As America, and the world, is in the midst of fighting the so-called Coronavirus / Covid-19 plague, we find ourselves in uncharted waters, so to speak.  With businesses, factories, restaurants, industry, etc. closing down, we pray for the intercession of St. Joseph to intercede on behalf of all those affected by this plague.  We pray for those who are physically affected with this disease but we also implore prayers on behalf of those who have already lost work or will soon be financially affected by what we are experiencing right now.

Let us pray.  St. Joseph, be with us and hear our prayer.  We lift up the people of the world, especially those affected directly and those affected indirectly by this terrible plague.  We ask you, dear St. Joseph, to intercede on our behalf and take our prayers to the Infant Jesus.  Please ask the Divine Infant to have mercy on all affected by this terrible plague.  Amen.

Dear Friends, continue to be there for one another.  Check on your neighbors . . . your friends . . . your loved ones.  Check on those elderly, the senior citizens to make sure that they have what they need.  It seems as though when times are darkest, when we have the potential to shine the brightest.  Let the Light of Christ shine through you.  Let the Light of Christ show forth on our nation.  Let the Light of Christ shine down on our world.
