The month of March is devoted to St. Joseph. Fathers, in particular, are encouraged to cultivate devotion to St. Joseph. St. Joesph is the patron saint of workers and fathers.
Consider adding a prayer to St. Joesph to your prayer routine this month:
Prayer for Fidelity to Work
Glorious St. Joseph, model of all who are devoted to labor, obtain for me the grace to work conscientiously, putting the call of duty above my natural inclinations; to work with gratitude and joy, considering it an honor to employ and develop, by means of labor, the gifts received from God, disregarding difficulties and weariness; to work, above all, with purity of intention and with detachment from self, having always before my eyes death, and the account which I must render of time lost, of talents wasted, of good omitted, of vain complacency in success, so fatal to the work of God. All for Jesus, all for Mary, all after your example, patriarch Joseph. This will be my watchword in life and in death. Amen.
There are also several more prayers for use this month available at About.com’s Catholicism section. You can also find a lot more information about the activities, feasts and activities at Catholic Culture.org.
