May St. Joseph become for all of us an exceptional teacher
in the service of Christ's saving mission, a mission which is the
responsibility of each and every member of the Church: husbands and wives,
parents, those who live by the work of their hands or by any other kind of
work, those called to the contemplative life and those called to the
apostolate.
This just man, who bore within himself the entire heritage
of the Old Covenant, was also brought into the “beginning” of the New and
Eternal Covenant in Jesus Christ. May he show us the paths of this saving
Covenant as we stand at the threshold of the next millennium, in which there
must be a continuation and further development of the “fullness of time” that
belongs the ineffable mystery of the Incarnation of the Word.
May St. Joseph obtain for the Church and for the world, as
well as for each of us, the blessing of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
