   and to gain souls for Him. It was this zeal that burned in the heart   
   of our saint; to this end he directed all his prayers and works of   
   penance. How much zeal have we for the cause of God, for the salvation   
   of our own soul and the souls of our fellowmen? How lukewarm, how   
   indifferent we are in these matters! Go frequently to the wound in the   
   side of Christ, and beg Him to draw you to Himself, so that the zeal   
   of His Sacred Heart may be kindled in you.   
      
      
   PRAYER OF THE CHURCH   
   O God, who didst ordain that all amen be attracted to Thy only   
   begotten Son, who was raised above the earth, mercifully grant that,   
   by the merits and intercession of Thy seraphic confessor Joseph, we   
   may be raised above earthly desired and deserve to be admitted into   
   his company. Who livest and reignest forever and ever. Amen.
