But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

A Prayer to St. Joseph When You Can’t Get Your Work Done

O glorious St. Joseph, model of all who are devoted to labor, obtain for me the grace to work in the spirit of penance in expiation of my many sins; to work conscientiously by placing love of duty above my inclinations; to graciously and joyously deem it an honor to employ and to develop by labor the gifts I have received from God; to work methodically, peacefully, and in moderation and patience, without ever shrinking from it through weariness or difficulty; to work, above all, with purity of intention and unselfishness, having unceasingly before my eyes death and the account I have to render of time lost, talents unused, good not done and vain complacency in success, so baneful to the work of God.

All for Jesus, through Mary, all to imitate thee, O Patriarch St. Joseph! This shall be my motto for life and eternity. Amen.*

an acolyte with no depth

perception, always so

embarrassed, candles

and flame that never

met, but my sense of

duty to a God my mother

loved so much just

made me try harder--

have you ever needed

someone to notice you

so much that it could

be anyone?

please see that everything

is second hand, that my

hair hasn't been brushed

in two weeks

you wait for the lifeboat

but it never comes

you learn to swim

you wish that you had drowned

the holy child

The healing, compassionate and enlightened aspects of the Holy Child are mirrors of who we can be. We are children of the gods and our influence echoes through the planes.
