Prayer to Blessed Josepha
Loving God,we thank you for having gifted us
with Mother Josepha.
We praise you for her loving heart
and motherly care for all,
especially for the poor,
the sick and the needy -
an expression of the Father's
compassion for humankind,
made
visible in the life and mission
of Jesus Christ.
Mother Josepha's love for your Spirit
made her a woman
of outstanding sensitivity and simplicity,
with a deep longing for your will alone;
offering herself totally
for the mission of your Son.
Open our hearts to see your presence everywhere
and to listen to the cries of the world for love and life,
so that, like Mother Josepha,
we become ever more your missionaries,
with hearts ever ready
for you and your people at all times and all places.
Amen
