HOMILIES

Protect the human dignity of those who have lost their jobs, whose economic well-being is in peril,
and who are fearful in the face of tomorrow.

Protect those who govern and regulate the economic and social life so that they may seek the path
of compassion, justice, and solidarity.

Protect the love in families so that family members may grow in mutual attentiveness, patience,
reciprocity of giving, and prayerfully imitating the Holy Family.

Protect our Christian communities, our parishes, and our missions so that they may be committed
to the mission, here and now, relying on the presence of the risen Christ and strengthened by the
Holy Spirit.

May our personal and family prayer life, our reading of the Bible, our prayer online, and our
spiritual communion increase. May the thirst for the Eucharist grow in us, the People of God, who
are longing to participate again in the celebration of Mass.

Saint Joseph, you who are a just man, you who are a descendant of King David, you who are the
husband of Mary and the adoptive father of Jesus, you who have been in this world as a faithful
servant of God’s Plan of Love, we entrust ourselves to your protection, we entrust families to you
so that they may be domestic churches, we entrust to you the dignity of men and women in their
vocation to work, we entrust our diocese to you so that it may be the home of the Holy Family and
welcome Mary, the Mother of the Saviour.
