And I'm so glad that God (through Saint Paul) assured us that Jesus Christ Himself "always lives to make intercession for [us]."

Thank you for stopping by! <br /><br />If you noticed at the end of my blog entry I said, "So I really do hope I get to glorify God with my life and offer myself completely to him, in thanksgiving for everything that he has done for me." So I do indeed thank God for EVERYTHING. He is the source of all grace and blessings. <br /><br />I thank St. Joseph for praying and interceding on my behalf as any friend would do. The difference between my friends on earth who pray for me and the saints in heaven who also do is that the saints in heaven have been sanctified and are in the presence of the beatific vision and so are completely aligned with God's Will, making them perfect prayer partners. If I can thank my Mom profusely for the many prayers she has said on my behalf I can certainly thank the saints in heaven who understand infinitely more what I need to be more perfectly conformed to Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. <br />God Bless!-fabi-https://www.blogger.com/profile/13815293963656238740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-620264965383630731.post-69569202297546986852013-07-01T09:07:09.357-07:002013-07-01T09:07:09.357-07:00Hi Fabi.

This is your dad's daily prayer to Saint Joseph (Based on Pope Saint Pius X prayer to Saint Joseph):<br /><br />Glorious Saint Joseph, model of all who are devoted to labor, obtain for me the grace to work in the spirit of responding to the love our Lord is graciously giving me; to work conscientiously by placing love of duty above my weaknesses; to gratefully and joyously deem it an honor to employ and to develop by labor the gifts I am receiving from God, to work methodically, peacefully, and in moderation and patience, without ever shrinking from it through weariness or difficulty to work; above all, with purity of intention and unselfishness, having unceasingly before my eyes that my passage on hearth is short, and thus, I should fully dedicate to God the time and talents that He is giving me.<br /><br />Intercede for me so I can obtain the grace to do good wherever and whenever I can; not to foolishly fall into vain complacency in success; to always seek to glorify God through my humble work.<br /><br />All for Jesus, all through Mary, all imitating you, o patriarch Saint Joseph!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-620264965383630731.post-44302090171078278902013-06-30T15:02:43.521-07:002013-06-30T15:02:43.521-07:00I'm so glad you're enjoying new job.

After all, God has all power and control, right, whereas Joseph was just another human who had faith in God, and therefore is in heaven with Him? That's my understanding anyway.<br /><br />Again, great post, and great art. =]Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-620264965383630731.post-87893469655986964242013-06-28T05:42:13.757-07:002013-06-28T05:42:13.757-07:00This is one of the many reasons I love Saint Josep...This is one of the many reasons I love Saint Joseph!Tristanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11355519504268747438noreply@blogger.com
