Hope is not always loud or dramatic. Sometimes, it is found in quiet trust, steady faith, and a heart that listens to God. St. Joseph lived this kind of hope - a hope that embraced uncertainty with confidence in God's plan. Today, we celebrate the Solemnity of St. Joseph, Husband of Mary. Happy Feast Day to All! 

Prayer to St. Joseph
St. Joseph, guardian of Jesus and protector of Mary,
you trusted God's plan with a humble heart.
Teach us to listen with faith,
to act with courage,
and to love with patience.
Guide us in our daily work,
our family life, and our moments of uncertainty.
May your quiet strength inspire us
to follow God's will with peace and trust.
Amen.
