This was the prayer to St. Joseph that Pope Francis said at the end of his General Audience.
Saint Joseph, you who guarded your bond with Mary and Jesus, help us to care for the relationships in our lives.
May no one experience that sense of abandonment that comes from loneliness.
Let each of us be reconciled with our own history, with those who have gone before, and recognize even in the mistakes made a way through which Providence has paved its path, and that evil did not have the last word.
Show yourself to be a friend to those who struggle the most, and as you supported Mary and Jesus in difficult times, support us too on our journey.
Amen.
