Merciful God of healing, we lift Joseph up to You, praying that Your graces will be upon him. Grant that his pain will be borne up to Your Blessed Son Jesus, in solidarity with His suffering on the cross. In Your magnificence, provide his doctor with the skill and competence to quickly and correctly diagnose the problem. May all of the medical personnel who attend to him reflect Your love. Graciously permit his treatment to be effective and to bring him closer to You, deeper in faith. Lord, Your will is hard for us to accept. Give us the grace to accept Your will in every aspect of our lives. We ask this through the same Christ Jesus, Your Beloved Son, Who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, One God for ever and ever. Amen! Alleluia!
