The Month of St. Joseph: Prayers and Practices for Each Day of March in Imitation of the Virtues of St. Joseph

by Pierre-Henri Gerault De Langalerie, Janet P. McKenzie (Supplement by)

Originally published in 1874, this book contains daily meditations on the life and virtues of St. Joseph. In addition, each day presents a prayer to St. Joseph, several resolutions, a short ejaculatory prayer, a relevant Scripture verse, and a brief consideration for reflection. The practices for each day are intended to assist the reader in acquiring the habits of prayer and interior recollection so necessary to living in the presence of God. Perfect for Lenten reading, this journey through the life of St. Joseph reveals his love of God and neighbor, humility, quiet action, and spirit of sacrifice. While the Bible tells so little about St. Joseph's life, here we discover the abundant virtues of this silent saint-and are challenged to imitate them.
