"Dear Saint Joseph, 
you were yourself once faced with the 
responsibility of providing the 
necessities of life for Jesus and Mary. 
Look down with fatherly compassion upon 
me in my axiety over my present 
inability to support my family. 
Please help me to find gainful 
employment very soon, so that this 
heavy burden of concern will be lifted 
from my heart and that I am soon able 
to provide for those whom God has 
entrusted to my care. 
Help us to guard against bitterness 
and discouragement, so that we may emerge 
from this trial spiritually enriched 
and with even greater blessings from God. 

Amen
