O Lord and Master of my life! Take from me the spirit of sloth, faint-heartedness, lust of power, and idle talk. But give rather the spirit of chastity, humility, patience, and love to thy servant. Yea, O Lord and King! Grant me to see my own errors and not to judge my brother; For Thou art blessed unto ages of ages.



Amen

St. Joseph's Altar

Celebrating with family and friends

Our 2011
St. Joseph's Altar

My SIL graciously opened her home
and together we planned this evening of
prayer, food, crafts, and stories

We began our evening together with the

Our evening involved a potluck event with our co-op
which made this extra nice
Here my friend made a homemade "sweet bread" breaded into a crown
for Jesus' crown of thorns


~ Craft Time ~

The kids had quite the chose of crafts
from coloring pages to St. Joseph's little pocket window crafts

The coloring pages were free from
&

I had the St. Joseph's window pocket from
my Teacher's Helper CD
(picture to come soon)

~ Reading Time ~

My SIL read a section of
More Coffee With Nonna: Stories of My Italian Grandmother

and we had several books for the kids to read at their leisure
Father and Son: A Nativity Story  Good Saint Joseph (St. Joseph Picture Books)

It was a beautiful celebration
among good fellowship
giving thanks to
San Guiseppe

Holy St. Joseph, spouse of Mary,
be mindful of me, pray for me, watch over me.
Guardian of the paradise of the new Adam,
provide for my temporal wants.
Faithful guardian of the most precious of all treasures,
I beseech thee to bring this matter to a happy end,
if it be for the glory of God and the good of my soul.
Amen.
