Prayer to St. Joseph Freinademetz - I (January 29)

Heavenly Father, you have given us your graces and blessings through the saints. We thank you for choosing St. Joseph Freinademetz, a zealous missionary to China, to be our model. He was a man of prayer who prayed without growing weary. Prayer was the air he breathed and the joy of his life. Prayer nourished his missionary vocation, his love of neighbor, his enthusiasm and readiness for sacrifice as well as his profound religiosity.

Through the intercession of St. Joseph we implore you to shower your graces on all missionaries so that we become persons of prayer and adopt the culture of the people we are sent to. Enlighten us to discover the road you want us to travel and the plan you have mapped out for us. May we have the courage like St. Joseph to keep going, inspite of many odds and hardships in our mission work and to live out our vocation faithfully. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
