Please pray for my mother, who is currently feeling very stressed out. Summer vacation has just started, and my siblings and I are home everyday. My youngest sister, who has ADHD, has been giving my mother grief almost constantly. Please pray that God will give her strength and that Mary will grant her with motherly patience. Thank you for your prayers!
That you and your family weather the storms in your lives.
PRAYER FOR STRONG FAITH
TO SAINT JOSEPH
Happy, blissful St. Joseph,
heir of the faith of all the patriarchs,
obtain for me this beautiful and precious virtue:
increase in me a lively faith,
the foundation of all sanctity,
that faith without which no one can be pleasing to God.
Obtain for me that faith
which triumphs over all temptations of the world
and conquers human respect;
which can be shaken by nothing,
and is directed solely towards God.
Cause me after your example to live by faith,
to subject my heart and understanding to God,
that once I may behold in heaven
what I now firmly believe on earth.
