think less of them.... And sometimes they seek another confessor
to tell the wrongs that they have done, so that their confessor shall
think they have done nothing wrong at all. My beloved : the story of a Carmelite nun

Memorare to St. Joseph


Remember, O St. Joseph, loving and

powerful protector, that according to the

testimony of your faithful servant, Great

St. Teresa, no one who is truly devoted to

you has seen his petition rejected. Filled

with this confidence and hope, I come to you,

worthy spouse of Mary Immaculate. Do

not close your ears to my prayers, you

who have the glorious title of Father of

Jesus, but hear it and present it for me to

Him Who has vouchsafed to be called your son. Amen.


St. Joseph,

Patron of the Universal Church,

pray for us.
