Loving God, you revealed your love to Josef Freinademetz through the life and death of your Son, Jesus. Josef was deeply touched by Jesus laying down his life on the cross that we might have life with you. Filled with the Spirit of Jesus, Josef also gave his life that others may know your love and live as brothers and sisters of one Father.
Therefore with confidence we pray:
St. Josef, implore for us a listening and loving heart.
Like you may we courageously hear and answer the call of the Lord in our lives.
Help us to learn to lovingly give our lives in service of our brothers and sisters of all social, religious, and cultural backgrounds.
May we truly appreciate the diversity of our human family and celebrate this abundance of life we share in God.
Amen.
