Glorious St. Joseph ...
obtain for me the grace to work conscientiously,
putting the call of duty above my many sins;
to work with thankfulness and joy,
considering it an honor to employ and develop,
by means of labor,
the gifts received from God;

God bless all mothers, including spiritual mothers, whose daily works demonstrate His love and compassion. May Mary guide and strengthen all women as they make a gift of self to those they nurture and may their reward be great in heaven.
