Pope Francis proclaims “Year of St Joseph”

With the Apostolic Letter “Patris corde” (“With a Father’s Heart”), Pope Francis recalls the 150th anniversary of the declaration of Saint Joseph as Patron of the Universal Church. To mark the occasion, the Holy Father has proclaimed a “Year of Saint Joseph”.
 
“With a father’s heart: that is how Joseph
loved Jesus…” 
(Patris Corde; pg.1, Pope Francis)
 
Prayer to St Joseph
Hail, Guardian of the Redeemer,  
Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
To you God entrusted his only Son;
in  you Mary placed her trust;
with you Christ became man.
Blessed Joseph, to us too,
show yourself a father and guide us in the path of life.
​Obtain for us grace, mercy and courage,
and defend us from every evil.
 
Amen
