St. Joseph, Model for Fathers

Reflect

Fathers have no better role model than St. Joseph, who exhibited a kind of quiet strength that is essential within a family dynamic.


Pray

Dear God,
on this Father’s Day, I thank you
for the strength and support
of loving dads everywhere.
You entrusted your son to St. Joseph,
who raised him,
loved him,
and emboldened him
to begin his ministry.
May all fathers feel called to model
that same kind of selfless love.
Amen.


Act

Share this prayer with a father who emulates the same characteristics as St. Joseph. A prayerful word of thanks is always the best present.
