The month of March which is often referred
to as the month of St. Joseph, is fast
approaching. I have created an ebook of
prayers which you could use if you wish
to pay homage to this great saint during
the entire month of March.
(Download the March Prayers to St. Joseph)
There are prayers for each day of the month
as well as a nine-day novena which can be
prayed starting from March 10 and culminating
on March 18, the day before the traditional feast
day of St. Joseph which is on March 19.
And course, there are certain spiritual exercises
which can be performed on the actual feast itself
and these are all included in the ebook as well.
I found these prayers from the book "A Manual of
Practical Devotion to St. Joseph" which was
originally written in Italian by Father Anthony
Joseph Patrignani, S. J. in 1709. The translation
was republished by Tan Books and Publishers, Inc.
in 1982.
I lifted the prayers from this book and arranged
them in a more 'easy-to-read' format. In the book,
you have to flip from one page to another to find
the prayers since not all the prayers appear in
sequence. So I had to reformat the text so you
can follow the daily prayers and novena easily.
Please note that March also falls within the
Lenten season. It is not my intention to take
your focus away from your Lenten season
preparation and direct your attention to St. Joseph.
Please don't forget or neglect to do your Lenten
prayers, reflections and other spiritual exercises.
God bless you.
