so great a cloud :: saint joseph

God in heaven, you have blessed us with the joy and care of children:

give us calm strength and patient wisdom as we bring them up so that we may teach them to love whatever is true and just and good,

following the example of blessed Saint Joseph,

through Jesus Christ, Amen.

here are two lovely coloring sheets–one from Waltzing Matilda and the other from Paper Dali–to help you celebrate this wonderful feast day on the far edge of winter.
