May they give us their powerful love

We should get close to Saint Joseph, the Virgin Mary, and the Child Jesus amid the dreariness of ordinary life.

Let us simply ask them, humbly and ardently, to help us to understand the meaning of this trial, and to make us accept it, so that we may follow in their footsteps, and remain faithful like them.

May they give us their faith, may they give us their humble and powerful love, so that we may accomplish, like they did, the Lord's plan for each one of us, for the glory of God, our personal sanctification, and for the good of souls and the Church.
