All that I need,
All that is good,
You bring to me in this Eucharist.
Help me to desire,
All that You want to give me.
Open my eyes,
To see myself as You see me,
And long for You all the more.
I abandon myself to You,
That You may make me holy,
And do everything for me,
By Your limitless grace.

You, my Father,
Gift me.
At Your behest,
At Christ’s bequest.
You place on my tongue,
The sweet Body of Your Son.
You place within my living body
The dying and the rising of Your Son.

Glorious Saint Joseph,
pattern of all who are devoted to toil,
obtain for me the grace to toil in the
spirit of penance, in order thereby to
atone for my many sins; to toil
conscientiously, putting devotion to
duty before my own inclinations;
to labour with thankfulness and joy,
deeming it an honour to employ and to
develop, by my labour, the gifts that I
have received from Almighty God;
to work with order, peace, moderation,
and patience, without ever shrinking
from weariness and difficulties;…”
~Prayer to Saint Joseph [1]
