Pray for Families (Fatherhood and St. Joseph)

Greetings Prayer Warriors, 

 

As our culture and norms dissolve and sinful behaviors that shackle us spiritually are considered real freedom, we must increase our prayer. As fatherhood is deemed inconsequential, and children grow up without fathers, is there any wonder that society is shifting into “delinquency”? Who better to call on than St. Joseph, Terror of Demons, to protect the family and intercede on behalf of our families?  Please pray this litany often on this feast of St Joseph and during this year of St. Joseph.
