March 15, 2020 Reflection – A Novena to St. Joseph! Day 6
Mother Mary and St. Joseph, Protect us!! (c)Mary TV/Anthony Zubac March 15, 2020Novena to St. Joseph, the Husband of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Day 6 Dear Family of Mary! Today we pray to St. Joseph as our Protector! Truly St. Joseph is the patron of the entire Church and protects Mother Church even as he protected Our Lady. He is a good and powerful father, watching at every turn for danger, and running interference for his children at every threat. We can trust in his vigilant care. Our Lady also watches over us in the same way, and has been sent by the Heavenly Father to protect us, as she told us in this message: March 25, 1990 “Dear children! I am with you even if you are not conscious of it. I want to protect you from everything that satan offers you and through which he wants to destroy you. As I bore Jesus in my womb, so also, dear children, do I wish to bear you into holiness. God wants to save you and sends you messages through men, nature, and so many things which can only help you to understand that you must change the direction of your life. Therefore, little children, understand also the greatness of the gift which God is giving you through me, so that I may protect you with my mantle and lead you to the joy of life. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Thank you Mother, for the protection of your Mantle! Here is a prayer to St. Joseph, asking for his holy protection. Like Mary, he will keep us safe if we ask him: O holy protector of the Holy Family, protect us children of the Lord Jesus Christ; keep far from us the errors and evils which corrupt the world; assist us from Heaven in our struggles against the powers of darkness. And as thou once didst protect the Divine Child from the cruel edict of Herod, now defend the Church and keep it safe from all dangers and threats; spread over all of us thy holy patronage so that by following thine example and aided by thy spiritual guidance, we may all aspire to a virtuous life, look to a holy death and secure for ourselves the blessing of eternal happiness in Heaven. Amen. Thank you St. Joseph from protecting us from the Powers of Darkness! The prayer to St. Joseph, for the Mary TV Family: Remember, O most chaste spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who implored your help or sought your intercession was left unaided. Filled with confidence we implore you, O faithful St. Joseph: help us now in our turn not to leave the side of Mary, our Mother, Queen of Peace of Medjugorje, Queen of Divine Mercy. Help us St. Joseph, to be like you, faithful to her in everything. Help us respond to her call. St. Joseph, Foster Father of us all, hear us and answer us. Amen. In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!Cathy Nolan©Mary TV 2020
