315. Prayer to St J Oseph

300 Days, once a day.* (See Instructions, p. I.) LORIOUS St Joseph, model of all those who are devoted to labour, obtain for me the grace to work in a spirit of penance for the expiation of my many sins; to work conscientiously, putting the call of duty above my inclinations; to work with gratitude and joy, considering it an honour to employ and develop, by means of labour, the gifts received from Gop; to work with order, peace, moderation and patience, without ever recoiling before weariness or difficulties; to work, above all, with purity of intention, and with de- tachment from self, having always death before my eyes and the account which I must render of time lost, of talents wasted, of good omitted, of vain complacency in success, so fatal to the work of Gop. All for JEsus, all for Mary, all after thy example, O Patriarch Joseph. Such shall be my watchword in life and in death. Amen
