You helped and guarded Mary as she laboured, bringing us Jesus. 4 Joseph, your anxious caring set you dreaming, dreams full of warning, dreams of death and danger. Trusting your spirit, you were quick and acted, saving your Jesus. 5 Joseph, your loving presence and protection prompted your son to share with his disciples his name for love most freeing, deep and faithful: 'Abba, dear father'. 6 Joseph, your spirit gives us hope and vision when life is crisis, chaos, or destruction: may we, like you, find, growing up among us, Christ's loving presence.
