Ode to Saint Joseph

The Holy Family

by Raphael

Prayer to Saint Joseph

  Dear Familial Father of the Christ,

So many are hurting:

without jobs

without work

without green cards

without hope;

We need 

your staff of protection,

the comfort of a shoulder,

the belief

we will be heard!

Please protect the lost

the homeless

the poor &

hopeless:

I believe

if we humble 

ourselves

quantum physics

and prayer will meld--

Unite us then with your Son,

O Earthly Father of the Christ Child,

and 

Save us All!

The Saints are there for us; 

St. Joseph is a great protector,

and one of my "Heavy Hitter Saints."

This prayer is for all who need it

from every land.
