A PRAYER TO ST JOSEPH FOR THE NIGERIA FAMILY HELPER PROGRAM
This painting of Saint Joseph by Alonso Miguel de Tovar (Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons) beautifully captures the model of piety and diligent work that we strive to emulate in all we do.
Dear Saint Joseph, protector and guardian of the Holy Family and God’s people. You cared faithfully for the Holy Family and worked tirelessly with your hands and heart. We turn to you as the patron of our mission - Nigeria Family Helper Program.
Bless, dear Saint Joseph, all who serve in our hospital and family care programs. Grant wisdom to our doctors, nurses, and caregivers; compassion to those who accompany the suffering; and strength to those who labour for the good of families.
Through your intercession, may the sick find healing, comfort and peace, the poor and abandoned discover hope, and every family experience unity, love, and faith.
Watch over our benefactors and friends who support this mission. Reward their generosity with joy, health, and heavenly blessings.
Provide for us everything we need to carry out this mission. And guide our work, that it may always reflect the mercy of Christ and bring glory to God who entrusted to you His own Son.
Saint Joseph, faithful guardian of life and love, pray for us, protect our hospital and family care mission, and lead us always in the way of Jesus and Mary. We ask this through Christ our Lord, Amen.
