We give thanks, Lord God, and ask you to bless all fathers in our lives. As we honor St. Joseph this year, we pray that this earthly father will help to encourage all fathers to implore his intercession and to imitate his virtues. Pope Francis described St. Joseph as a “beloved father, a tender and loving father, an obedient father, an accepting father; a father who is creatively courageous, and hard working”. We pray Lord that St. Joseph will be a guiding example to all our Fathers, Grandfathers and God Fathers. God Bless You on this special day and always!
