St. Joseph's

Catholic Church

Let us pray, dearly beloved, for a swift end to the coronavirus pandemic that afflicts our world, that our God and Father will heal the sick, strengthen those who care for them, and help us all to persevere in faith.

Almighty and merciful God,
source of all life, health and healing,
look with compassion on our world, brought low by disease;
protect us in the midst of the grave challenges that assail us and in your fatherly providence grant recovery to the stricken, strength to those who care for them, and success to those working
to eradicate this scourge.

Through Christ our Lord
Amen

Prayer for Spiritual Communion

My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love you above all things and I desire to receive you in my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive you sacramentally,
Come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace you as if you were already there
And unite myself wholly to you.
Never permit me to be separated from you.
Amen.

The mission of St. Joseph's Church is to be a welcoming, caring, Christ-centered Catholic community.  We desire to experience and share God's unconditional love.  Inspired by the example of Jesus, we strive to lead all people to wholeness and fullness of life.

O Blessed Joseph, faithful guardian of my Redeemer, Jesus Christ, protector of thy chaste spouse, the virgin Mother of God, I choose thee this day to be my special patron and advocate and I firmly resolve to honor thee all the days of my life. Therefore I humbly beseech thee to receive me as thy client, to instruct me in every doubt, to comfort me in every affliction, to obtain for me and for all the knowledge and love of the Heart of Jesus, and finally to defend and protect me at the hour of my death. Amen.

• Prayer to the Virgin Mary for Protection

• O Mary, you shine continuously on our journey as a sign of salvation and
  hope.
  We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick.
  At the foot of the Cross you participated in Jesus’ pain,
  with steadfast faith.
  You, Our Lady of New York, know what we need.
  We are certain that you will provide, so that,
  as you did at Cana of Galilee,
  joy and feasting might return after this moment of trial.
  Help us, Mother of Divine Love,
  to conform ourselves to the Father’s will
  and to do what Jesus tells us:
  He who took our sufferings upon Himself, and bore our sorrows to bring us,
  through the Cross, to the joy of the Resurrection.
  Amen.
  We seek refuge under your protection, O Holy Mother of God.
  Do not despise our pleas – we who are put to the test – and deliver us from
  every danger, O glorious and blessed Virgin.
  Amen.
