Liberalism is an ideology, too January 22, 2015Posted by Tantumblogo in Abortion, asshatery, Basics, contraception, episcopate, error, foolishness, Good St. Joseph, horror, priests, sadness, scandals, Society, SOD, the return. comments closed And more than that, a religion. Well, It was going to be a short post. I changed my mind. There is a very disturbing post over at Rorate. I’m sure you can figure out the one I’m referring to. It lays out the revolutionary plan in some detail. It speaks in very derogatory terms of “ideologies” in the Church. As if liberalism and its more extreme form, progressivism, are not ideologies. The Italian ideologues seeking to destroy the moral edifice of the Faith need to remove the Giant Sequoias from their own eyes, before they attack other “ideologies” in the Church. Unfortunately, the ideologies they seem to refer to are those you and I share, which for 2000 years has been – to the degree we are able to adhere to it – the mind of the Church. But now, in the minds of many in influential positions in the Church, chafing at decades of at least some frustration and limitation in their planned program to remake the Church in their own rather godless image, believing what the Church has always taught, being a more or less faithful soul, is a poisonous ideology to be extricated from the body of the faithful. Thankfully, we have the progressive ideologues to save Catholics from themselves. I must say, we now see how – can we agree at least on this? – unfortunate phrases by the Sovereign Pontiff are seized on not only by the Church’s external enemies but also her internal ones, those seeking to carry out a revolution that will leave us all episcopalian and the Church prostrate before not the throne of God but the throne of man. Now being a radical feminist and having a large faithful family are just two sides of the same coin. We must be responsible parents. The “spirit of the law trumps the letter,” to the point of contradiction. Responsible parenthood includes global responsibilities even to sweet Gaia herself. All relations, even those not involving marriage, involve “positive elements” that must not be judged for their deficiencies but glorified for the wisps of goodness they contain. Gradualism in morals, meaning fornication and contraception are just fine, provided you’re on some kind of nebulous path to the Lord. This, from the official publication of the Italian bishop’s conference. Some may be glad that the modernists are now finally truly showing their hands. Yes, it is certainly clarifying, but it will also be horrifically destructive. I am not glad. I am very sad. And I will admit, worried for what the future holds. While the language in the piece quoted by Rorate is academically dense and frequently impenetrable, it speaks of rolling back the “hard rules” regarding contraception and other evils, and pretending the evils no longer exist. The timing – 9 months before the resumption of the Synod, and with that old toad Burke out of the way – is rather disconcerting. This is exactly the same time last year that Kasper was beginning his big push on divorce. Now, contraception. The below is going to seem off-topic, but it isn’t. I was reading about the sufferings endured by American POWs in North Vietnam during the Vietnam War. There were hundreds of POWs, almost entirely officers and aircrews. These were intelligent, educated, highly educated, committed, and intensely patriotic men. They had that pure and refined, completely unironic patriotism that flourished briefly in this country in the period 1945-65. Some, like Admiral Jim Stockdale and Colonel Robbie Risner, were POWs for almost a decade. They were both there long enough to see many men come in the POW system, and never leave. They never left because they died in the custody of the North Vietnamese. Now, some of these died, because they were horribly injured when captured, refused treatment, and basically allowed to just rot to death over a few days or weeks in a filthy, rat infested North Vietnamese prison. But others died who did not experience bad injuries at ejection or landing. Some died because they just could not take the long years of confinement and eventually lost both faith and hope. Both Robbie Risner and Jim Stockdale talked extensively about their experiences. Both were senior commanders in the 4th Allied POW Wing, Provisional, and knew most of the men who went into the POW camps. Both identified fairly quickly the kind of person who would survive, and who wouldn’t. When asked directly what type of person would give up hope and die in the camps, Stockdale answered: Oh, that’s easy, the optimists. Oh, they were the ones who said, ‘We’re going to be out by Christmas.’ And Christmas would come, and Christmas would go. Then they’d say, ‘We’re going to be out by Easter.’ And Easter would come, and Easter would go. And then Thanksgiving, and then it would be Christmas again. And they died of a broken heart.[12] This is a very important lesson. You must never confuse faith that you will prevail in the end—which you can never afford to lose—with the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be The ones who survived were the ones who could accept the nightmarish reality of the situation they were in, determine not to be beaten, and hold on either through Christian Faith (Risner) or a grim and angry determination not to be beaten (Stockdale). They didn’t need some external source of hope, they did not have to pretend that they’d be rescued by this date or that: they were going to win, they were going to survive, they were going to go home, no matter how long it took. And that’s sort of my point of view. I have never been one to shirk the grim reality of a situation. The Church is in dire straights and the revolutionaries have their man at the top. Whether we want to believe that or not, they certainly believe that. I don’t have to count up statements and tally a score to reassure myself that Pope Francis really is, deep down, orthodox. He may well be, he may be the second Leo the Great and he may be the most misunderstood Pope in history, but with God as my witness, it makes no difference. So long as he keeps saying outlandish things, his personal sanctity and orthodoxy don’t matter a whit from the point of view of the broader Church and world. And then we have the matter of the concrete actions, from the support given to Kasper, et. al., at the Synod (and before), to the persecution of the FIs and Cardinal Burke. I would caution against being an optimist in the present crisis. We have seen a lot of good people over the past 50 years enter the fight to restore the Faith, only to eventually give up and retreat into privacy, or maybe even leave the Faith. Rod Dreher is someone who comes immediately to mind. There have been many others. The important thing is not to depend upon good news, or a lack of bad news. Relying on spin to feel good about things can be dangerous. Eventually, something will come along that can’t be spun. And then what? I know this is a very difficult thing to advise, we are speaking of fundamental personal outlooks, things as deeply ingrained as anything in our consciousness. But try to be cognizant of your outlook and orientation in that regard and guard against it. It might be better for those with the need for a perennial sunny disposition not to enter the struggle, at all. I don’t say that as a criticism in any way, but as a recognition of reality. This fight, critical as it is, is not worth your losing your faith. This is not to say that being a maximal realist is easy or fun, either. It is not without drawbacks. And I’m not saying I’m anything as strong as Stockdale, Risner, or any of the other 400 odd POWs. I’m speaking of an outlook. Act of Consecration to Saint Joseph December 2, 2014Posted by Tantumblogo in Basics, Domestic Church, farm, General Catholic, Glory, Good St. Joseph, Grace, manhood, Saints, sanctity, Tradition, true leadership, Virtue. comments closed It’s that time of year, when many of us start thinking about the great glory of the Holy Family, and how each member of that family is such a sublime virtue for our roles in our own families and the conduct of our entire lives. I hope to spend some time focusing on these different members of the Holy Family over the next few weeks, God willing, beginning with Saint Joseph. I have long had a strong devotion to Saint Joseph and he is such a powerful intercessor. I believe he has aided me tremendously in too many ways to list. The following Act of Consecration comes from Saint Peter Julian Eymard’s Month of Saint Joseph. It is quite oriented towards the spirituality of the Blessed Sacrament Fathers that Saint Peter Julian Eymard founded, that is, it focuses on meekness, self-denial, quiet contemplation and withdrawal from the world. This is not the only means of practicing a faithful Catholic life! But it is an exceedingly good, if challenging, one: I consecrate myself to you, good Saint Joseph, as my spiritual father; I choose you to rule my soul and teach me the interior life, the life hidden away with Jesus, Mary, and yourself. I consecrate myself to you as my guide and model in all my duties so that I may learn to fulfill them with meekness and humility: with meekness toward my brethren, my neighbor, and all with whom I come in contact; with humility toward myself and simplicity before God. I choose you, good Saint, as my counselor, my confidant, my protector in all my difficulties and trials. I do ask to be spared crosses and sufferings, but only from self-love which might vitiate their value by making me vain over them. I choose you as protector for our family. Good Saint Joseph, be our family’s father as you were the father of the Holy Family at Nazareth…… I do not ask for temporal goods or for exterior success, nor for the joy of seeing it great and powerful. I ask only that it serve with fidelity and devotedness its Divine King. For myself, I shall honor and love and serve you with Mary, my mother; never shall I separate her name from yours in my love. Gladly would I be like you, Saint Joseph, a poor carpenter, unknown and despised, food for the roots of the tree, the Master’s gardener who never leaves the garden, who knows nothing but his plants, who loves only his flowers and sees only their fruits, and dies in the corner of his hut in the arms of Jesus and Mary. We do not know the place of your burial, so we cannot honor your remains. You leave behind you only your mantle of poverty and humility. O Jesus, give me Joseph for a father as you have given me Mary as a mother. Fill me with devotion, confidence, and filial love. Listen to my prayer, please. I know that you will. Already I feel more devout, more full of hope and confidence in good Saint Joseph, your foster father and my adopted father. ————–End Quote————- I could use help with meekness. I think blogging is a challenge to virtue at times, but especially meekness. However, there is also great good in blogging. I have noted there are some influential people – traditional priests, even – who are really sour on blogging. They think it’s just terrible, a wasteland of disordered rants, misinformation, and blind hatreds. I don’t know which sites they read, but I try to avoid being too extremist, even if there are some places I avoid for just those reasons. I also get the sense some priests aren’t real comfortable with having blogging parishioners because it is a message they cannot control, and thus they fear might somehow cause a problem for them. In my experience, most bloggers are generally good people trying their best to put forth the Faith as they understand it, even if I do not agree with that understanding or have some problems with it. I rarely engage in internecine strife between blogs – one of the best ways to get traffic, if that were my interest – because I operate from the basic assumption of good will on the part of others. I prefer to approach blogging as Fr. Peter Carota does, as a great way to aid the huge masses of people who don’t have regular (or any) access to a good faithful priest and catechesis or the orthodox practice of the Faith. My experience blogging has shown me that there are many, many people with a great hunger for authentic representations of the Faith that come in a modern, easily digestible form. There are still others who want to read about ongoing events from a source they identify with. And I know that blogging has been enormously helpful in shaping the understanding of the Faith I have come to have today. Writing about something forces one to focus one’s thoughts so that greater clarity (hopefully) results. Overall, I think my blogging has been helpful to others, and that’s why I do it, in spite of occasional negative comments. It’s all part of it. Good Saint Joseph, pray for us! Show the commies what’s what! Pray to St. Joseph Worker today! May 1, 2014Posted by Tantumblogo in awesomeness, Basics, Christendom, General Catholic, Glory, Good St. Joseph, Grace, Interior Life, manhood, Saints, sanctity, true leadership, Virtue. comments closed There is no question this first class Feast was instituted to combat the growing influence of leftism around the world. I was tempted to say “stick it to the commies,” but that would probably have been somewhat lacking in virtue. Thanks to MJD for the prayers. You might consider making a Novena of them! O glorious St. Joseph, model of all those who are devoted to labor, obtain for me the grace to work conscientiously, putting the call of duty above my natural inclinations, to work with gratitude and joy, in a spirit of penance for the remission of my sins, considering it an honor to employ and develop by means of labor the gifts received from God, to work with order, peace, moderation and patience, without ever shrinking from weariness and difficulties, to work above all with purity of intention and detachment from self, having always death before my eyes and the account that I must render of time lost, of talents wasted, of good omitted, of vain complacency in success, so fatal to the work of God. All for Jesus, all through Mary, all after thine example, O Patriarch, St. Joseph. Such shall be my watchword in life and in death. Amen. O good father Joseph! I beg you, by all your sufferings, sorrows and joys, to obtain for me what I ask. (insert your specific request here.) Obtain for all those who have asked my prayers, everything that is useful to them in the plan of God. Be near to me in my last moments, that I may eternally sing the praises of Jesus, Mary and Joseph. Amen. (Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be) If you need a job, have career instability, or what have you, consider this prayer: Dear Saint Joseph, you were yourself once faced with the responsibility of providing the necessities of life for Jesus and Mary. Look down with fatherly compassion upon me in my anxiety over my present inability to support my family. Please help me to find gainful employment very soon, so that this heavy burden of concern will be lifted from my heart and that I am soon able to provide for those whom God has entrusted to my care. Help us to guard against bitterness and discouragement, so that we may emerge from this trial spiritually enriched and with even greater blessings from God. Amen. Litany of St. Joseph: Christ, have mercy on us Lord, have mercy on us Christ, hear us Christ, graciously hear us God, the Father of heaven, have mercy on us God, the Son, Redeemer of the world, have mercy on us God, the Holy Spirit, have mercy on us Holy Mary, pray for us St. Joseph, pray for us Blessed offspring of David, pray for us Light of patriarchs, pray for us Spouse of the mother of God, pray for us Chaste custodian of the Blessed Virgin, pray for us Guardian of the Son of God, pray for us Defender of Christ, pray for us Head of the Holy Family, pray for us O Joseph, most just, pray for us O Joseph, most chaste, pray for us O Joseph, most prudent, pray for us O Joseph, most forceful, pray for us O Joseph, most obedient, pray for us O Joseph, most faithful, pray for us Mirror of patience, pray for us Model of laborers, pray for us Patriarch of the home, pray for us Protector of virgins, pray for us Strength of the family, pray for us Comforter of the afflicted, pray for us Hope of the sick, pray for us Patron of the dying, pray for us Terror of demons, pray for us Protector of the church, pray for us Lamb of God, you who take away the sins of the world, forgive us O Lord Lamb of God, you who take away the sins of the world, hear us O Lord Lamb of God, you who take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us. Let us pray Lord Jesus, through the merits of the devoted spouse of your most holy Mother, help us, we beseech thee, that what of ourselves we cannot obtain, may be granted through the intercession of the Most Holy Patriarch, Saint Joseph. You who reign with God, the Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit now and forever. Ite ad Joseph……. Go to Joseph! April 24, 2014Posted by Tantumblogo in awesomeness, Basics, catachesis, General Catholic, Glory, Good St. Joseph, Grace, Interior Life, manhood, Our Lady, sanctity, Spiritual Warfare, Tradition, true leadership, Virtue. comments closed Stealing from the latest Catholic newspaper cover article, an exegesis on St. Joseph by the great Moral Doctor St. Alphonsus Maria de Liguori: Go then to Joseph, and do all that he shall say to you; Go to Joseph, and obey him as Jesus and Mary obeyed him; Go to Joseph, and speak to him as they spoke to him; Go to Joseph, and consult him as they consulted him; Go to Joseph, and honor him as they honored him; Go to Joseph, and be grateful to him as they were grateful to him; Go to Joseph, and love him , as they love him still. God, because of the great love He bears us, and His great desire to see us saved, has given us among other means of salvation the practice of devotion to the Saints. It is His Will that they, who are His friends, should intercede for us, and by their merits and prayers obtain graces for us which we ourselves do not deserve. [Isn’t that such a generous, wonderful gift?!? Poor protestants, hating Saints and their intercession, don’t they know that without them they hardly stand a chance?] But everyone must know that after the Mother of God, St. Joseph is, of all the Saints, the one dearest to God. He has, therefore, great power with Him and can obtain graces for His devout clients. The two disciples, going up to Emmaus (St. Luke XXIV:13-31), were inflamed with Divine Love by the few moments which they spent in company with our Savior, and by His words. What flames of holy love must not, then, have been enkindled in the heart of St. Joseph, who for 30 years conversed with Jesus Christ, and listened to His words of eternal life; who observed the perfect example which Jesus gave of humility and patience, and saw the promptness with which He obeyed and helped him in his labors, and all that was needed for the household! Since we all must die, we should cherish a special devotion to St. Joseph, that he may obtain for us a happy death. All Christians regard him as the advocate of the dying who had honored him during their life, and they do so for three reasons: First, because Jesus Christ loved him not only as a friend, but as a father, and on this account his mediation is far more efficacious than that of any other Saint. Second, because St. Joseph has obtained special powers against the evil spirits, who tempt us with redoubled vigor at the hour of death. [St. Joseph is a very powerful Saint in spiritual warfare. Very powerful] Third, the assistance given St. Joseph at his death by Jesus and Mary obtained for him the right to secure a holy and peaceful death for his servants. Hence, if they invoke him at the hour of death he will not only help them, but he will also obtain for them the assistance of Jesus and Mary. We should, indeed, honor St. Joseph, since the Son of God Himself was graciously pleased to honor him by calling him father. The Holy Scriptures speak of him as the father of Jesus. “His father and mother were marveling at the things spoken concerning Him (St. Luke II:33). Mary also used this name: “in sorrow thy father and I have been seeking thee” (St. Luke II:48). If, then, the King of Kings was pleased to raise Joseph to so high a dignity, it is right and obligatory on our part to endeavor to honor him as much as we can. ————End Quote———— I can personally attest what a powerful intercessor good Saint Joseph can be. He has helped me tremendously in the past, and continues to do so today. Saint Joseph played a very big role in my catching fire in the Faith, and has helped me to overcome some of my worst attachments. Rely on him for many intercessions! And become Saint Joseph’s friend. He is a very good friend. Talk to him. He will talk back. You may be surprised. He really likes to help fathers. That is his mission. Start St. Joseph Novena today!

I have special confidence in you. You are powerful with God and will never abandon your faithful servants. I humbly invoke you and commend myself, with all who are dear to me, to your intercession. By the love you have for Jesus and Mary, do not abandon me during life, and assist me at the hour of my death. Glorious Saint Joseph, spouse of the immaculate Virgin, Foster-father of Jesus Christ, obtain for me a pure, humble, and charitable mind, and perfect resignation to the Divine Will. Be my guide, my father, and my model through life that I may merit to die as you did in the arms of Jesus and Mary. Loving Saint Joseph, faithful follower of Jesus Christ, I raise my heart to you to implore your powerful intercession in obtaining from the Heart of Jesus all the graces necessary for my spiritual and temporal welfare, particularly the grace of a happy death, and the special grace I now implore: (Mention your request). Guardian of the Word Incarnate, I am confident that your prayers on my behalf will be graciously heard before the throne of God. Prayer: Let us Pray! In Your ineffable providence You were pleased to choose Blessed Joseph to be the spouse of Your Most Holy Mother. Grant, we beg You, that we may be worthy to have him for our intercessor in heaven whom on earth we venerate as our protector. You who live and reign forever and ever. AMEN You can also add 3 Ave’s or a Pater Noster, Ave, and Gloria at the conclusion of the Novena, each day. Another blessed practice is to pray the Litany of St. Joseph, which you can find all over.

St. Joseph added to Novus Ordo Eucharist Prayers June 18, 2013Posted by Tantumblogo in Basics, Dallas Diocese, Eucharist, General Catholic, Glory, Good St. Joseph, Latin Mass, Liturgy, Sacraments, Saints, Tradition. comments closed I have to admit, I have a great devotion to St. Joseph, so my natural inclination is to be very pleased with the development Fr. Z and other sites are reporting, which is that the Vatican has decreed that St. Joseph is to be added to Eucharistic Prayers II, III, and IV. Given what I have come to learn about organic development in the Liturgy, however, I am forced to recall that it was a different addition of St. Joseph’s name, to a different Eucharistic Prayer – the Canon – that really opened the floodgates to liturgical reform/revolution. Perhaps this is a bit of coming full circle, and a return to more organic liturgical development: Have you seen the news? Decades after John XXIII placed the name of Joseph in the Roman Canon, it seems that the name of the great Patron of the Dying, Terror of Demons, will be in the Eucharistic Prayers II, III and IV in the 3rd edition of the Missale Romanum. I received a copy of a document from the USCCB which communicates the decree – Paternas vices (Prot. N. 215/11/L) – of the Congregation for Divine Worship. The Latin shall be: II: “ut cum beáta Dei Genetríce Vírgine María, beáto Ioseph, eius Sponso, beátis Apóstolis” III: “cum beatissíma Vírgine, Dei Genetríce, María, cum beáto Ioseph, eius Sponso, cum beátis Apóstolis” IV: “cum beáta Vírgine, Dei Genetríce, María, cum beáto Ioseph, eius Sponso, cum Apóstolis” The English: II: that with the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, with Blessed Joseph, her Spouse, with the blessed Apostles III: with the most Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, with blessed Joseph, her Spouse, with your blessed Apostles and glorious Martyrs IV: with the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God with blessed Joseph, her Spouse, and with your Apostles I guess there is some question as to when this decree is to be implemented. Some are saying immediately, others at some unspecified date. I will guess this change was actually begun under Pope Benedict, since the Vatican doesn’t usually move very fast. 3 months would be pretty quick for Pope Francis to have accomplished something like this. But no matter. Well, it’s hard to say no to more glory for St. Joseph: I’m late! Novena to St. Joseph March 12, 2013Posted by Tantumblogo in awesomeness, Basics, family, General Catholic, Good St. Joseph, Grace, Interior Life, sanctity, Tradition, Virtue, Voris. comments closed Sorry, all, because I was out yesterday I didn’t get this out in time. The Novena to St. Joseph should really have started yesterday, or even the day before (Sunday, March 10). Here is one version below, sent by reader MJD, and here are some links to other versions I blogged on previously: Saint Joseph, you are the faithful protector and intercessor of all who love and venerate you. I have special confidence in you. You are powerful with God and will never abandon your faithful servants. I humbly invoke you and commend myself, with all who are dear to me, to your intercession. By the love you have for Jesus and Mary, do not abandon me during life, and assist me at the hour of my death. Glorious Saint Joseph, be my guide, my father, and my model through life that I may merit to die as you did in the arms of Jesus and Mary. Guardian of the Word Incarnate, I am confident that your prayers on my behalf will be graciously heard before the throne of God. Through Christ, our Lord. AMEN. (MENTION YOUR INTENTIONS) Pray 30 day St. Joseph Novena February 15, 2013Posted by Tantumblogo in awesomeness, Basics, Dallas Diocese, Domestic Church, General Catholic, Good St. Joseph, Interior Life, Novenas, Virtue. comments closed Reader/commenter MJD sent me this and asked me to post this. It’s supposed to be a very efficacious 30 day Novena of the Holy Cloak of St. Joseph. I’ve got to say, I’m a bit confused as to how it works, other than that it starts today. The link is here, but I’m uncertain if you’re supposed to pray everything at the link for the Novena (that would be quite a lot), or just some of it. MJD, or anyone else with familiarity with this Novena, please explain in the comments. I’ll update the post if we get clarity. But I always encourage devotion to good St. Joseph. He has always been there for me.

Sveti Josipe, stoljetni zagovorniče naše domovine i naših obitelji, tvome nebeskom zagovoru mi se utječemo i molimo te, pouči nas vjernosti. Ti si, na jedan Božji “ne boj se” u snu, odlučio ostaviti sve svoje snove. Mnoge naše obitelji postale su mjesta straha, nesigurne za život i snove. Mnogo je onih koji su odustali od tvoje vizije s njima, koji su prekršili bračna obećanja. Kao što si bio zaštita Svete Obitelji, zaštiti i naše obitelji. Zagrli one koje su napustili njihovi bračni drugovi, zagrli djecu bez očeva i majki. Budi otac i majka svima koji su postali siročad iz bilo kojeg razloga. Ti si bio drvodjelja, radnik, a danas je toliko onih koji su bez posla. Toliko je onih koji nemaju čime nahraniti svoje obitelji, koji nemaju osnovnih uvjeta za život. Toliko je onih koji strahuju pred otkazom, toliko onih koji ne dobivaju pravednu plaću za svoj rad. Toliko je radnika bez dostojnih uvjeta za rad, odmor i susret sa svojom obitelji. Zaštiti našu domovinu pred svima koji joj ne žele dobro, stani ispred svih obespravljenih. Sveti Josipe, tvojim zagovorom neka se obnovi naša vjernost obitelji, narodu i domovini. Amen. LITANIJE SVETOG JOSIPA Gospodine, smiluj se! Kriste, smiluj se! Gospodine, smiluj se! Kriste, čuj nas! Kriste, usliši nas! Oče nebeski, Bože, smiluj nam se! Sine, Otkupitelju svijeta, Bože, smiluj nam se! Duše Sveti, Bože, smiluj nam se! Sveto Trojstvo, jedan Bože, smiluj nam se! Sveta Marijo, MOLI ZA NAS... Sveti Josipe, Slavni porode Davidov, Svjetlosti patrijarha, Zaručniče Bogorodice, Stidljivi čuvaru Djevice, Hranitelju Sina Božjega, Brižni branitelju Kristov, Glavaru slavne obitelji, Josipe pravedni, Josipe prečisti, Josipe premudri, Josipe jaki, Josipe pokorni, Josipe vjerni, Ogledalo strpljivosti, Ljubitelju siromaštva, Uzore radnika, Uresu domaćeg života, Čuvaru djevica, Potporo obitelji, Utjeho bijednih, Ufanje bolesnih, Zaštitniče umirućih, Strahu zlih duhova, Pokrovitelju svete Crkve, Jaganjče Božji, koji oduzimaš grijehe svijeta, oprosti nam, Gospodine! Jaganjče Božji, koji oduzimaš grijehe svijeta, usliši nas, Gospodine! Jaganjče Božji, koji oduzimaš grijehe svijeta, smiluj nam se! - Postavio ga je gospodarom doma svojega. - I upraviteljem svega imanja svojega. Pomolimo se. Bože, koji si se neiskazanom providnošću udostojao izabrati blaženog Josipa za zaručnika presvetoj Majci svojoj, daj, molimo, da koga kao pokrovitelja častimo na zemlji, zavrijedimo imati zagovornikom na nebu. Koji živiš i kraljuješ u vijeke vjekova. Amen. O, Josipe oče sveti čuvaj kuću i posveti. Sva obitelj da se složi ljubav sveta da se množi. Mir, veselje k nama svrati, strah Gospodnji nek nas prati. Krepošću da žiće plodi putem raja ti nas vodi. Čuj nam Oče, molbu vruću čuvaj nas i svu nam kuću. Tebi ključeve sve predajem gospodarom prepoznajem. Sve što može nauditi kući, dostoj se odstraniti. U Presvetog Srca Rani ti nas Oče sve nastani. Da živimo na tom svijetu kao ti u Nazaretu. Amen.
