of Thy Beloved Son, for this is the Face of Him in Whom Thou art well
pleased. We now offer Thee this Holy Face, covered with shame and
disfigured by bloody bruises in reparation for the crimes of our age in
order to appease Thine anger, justly provoked against us. Because Thy
Divine Son, our Redeemer, has taken upon His Head all the sins of His

O Glorious Saint Joseph, model of all those who are devoted to labor,
obtain for me the grace to work in a spirit of penance for the
expiation of my many sins; to work conscientiously, putting the call of
duty above my natural inclinations; to work with thankfulness and joy,
considering it an honor to employ and develop by means of labor the
gifts received from God; to work with order, peace, moderation, and
patience, never shrinking from weariness and trials; to work above all
with purity of intention and detachment from self,
keeping unceasingly before my eyes death and the account that I must
give of time lost, talents unused, good omitted, and vain complacency
in success, so fatal to the work of God. All for Jesus, all through Mary,
all after thy example, O Patriarch, Saint Joseph. Such shall be my
watch-word in life and in death. Amen.

in mundo, divina virtute, in infernum detrude. Amen

Blessed Benedetta, your world became as small as a communion wafer.
You were immobilized, deaf, and blind and yet you were a powerful
witness to the love of God and the Blessed Mother. Jesus in the Blessed
Sacrament is hidden and small too, silent, immobilized, and even weak
— and still all powerful. Please pray for me, Benedetta, that I will
collaborate, as you did, with Jesus in whatever way he wishes to use
me. May I be granted the grace to allow the Almighty Father to speak
through my littleness and loneliness, too. Amen.

lovable will of God be done, praised, and exalted above all for ever.
Your will be done, O Lord, your will be done. The Lord has given, and
the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord now and
always. Amen.

Son, who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, forever and ever. Amen.
