I love  to add this beautiful prayer to any prayer to St. Joseph, ... just because… I like to spend time with this “Pillar of families”. It reminds me that in heaven’s silence, great miracles still begin:

"Glorious Patriarch, Saint Joseph, in whose power is to make the impossible possible, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your help and protection.

Thank you for listening to my pleas before the Throne of God, for your paternal love for people and our Church.

May God's glory and omnipotence be revealed in your help for us."
