Litany of Saint Joseph

We are Saint Joseph's School. We don't take our name for granted. If you wonder why, consider the following litany. It is, in effect, a resume for eternity.

Saint Joseph,
Renowned offspring of David,
Light of Patriarchs,
Spouse of the Mother of God,
Chaste guardian of the Virgin,
Foster father of the Son of God,
Diligent protector of Christ,
Head of the Holy Family,
Joseph most just,
Joseph most chaste,
Joseph most prudent,
Joseph most strong,
Joseph most obedient,
Joseph most faithful,
Mirror of patience,
Lover of poverty,
Model of artisans,
Glory of home life,
Guardian of virgins,
Pillar of families,
Solace of the wretched,
Hope of the sick,
Patron of the dying,
Terror of demons,
Protector of Holy Church.

If I may be so bold as to add to this litany; Patron of the best school in America!

In your daily prayers remember to ask Saint Joseph to bring your concerns and the needs of our school to his beloved foster son, Jesus Christ. Jesus is the true power and true leader of our school.
