The Third Sunday of the Seven Sorrows and Seven Joys of St. Joseph

Posted in: Prayer & Devotions, St. Joseph

3rd. SORROW: The Circumcision of Jesus (St. Luke 2:21) And
after the eight days were accomplished, Joseph and Mary took the child to be circumcised.

3rd . JOY: The Holy Name of Jesus (St. Matthew 1:25) And Joseph called his name JESUS.

PRAYER: O thou who wast ever most obedient in fulfilling the
law of God, glorious St. Joseph! when, at His circumcision, the
infant Saviour s precious blood was shed, thy heart was pierced
through and through; but with the name of Jesus came again to thee new life and heavenly joy.

By this thy sorrow and thy joy, obtain for us that, freed in life from
the vile yoke of sin, we too may die with joy, with the sweet name
of Jesus in our hearts and on our lips.

Our Father
Who art in heaven, 
Hallowed be Thy Name. 
Thy Kingdom come. 
Thy Will be done, 
on earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread. 
And forgive us our trespasses, 
as we forgive those who trespass against us. 
And lead us not into temptation, 
but deliver us from evil.
Amen.

Hail Mary, 
Full of Grace, 
The Lord is with thee. 
Blessed art thou among women, 
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus. 
Holy Mary, 
Mother of God, 
pray for us sinners now, 
and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

Glory be to the Father,
and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning,
is now,
and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.
