The creation of the world was faultless until mankind chose to forget the rules of God who had made it and them. The World and Mankind cannot be recreated  in the image of Mankind. There cannot be an age of the perfect society. The devil is here with us in everything we do except for when we give God the Father ,the Son and Holy spirit their rightful place in our hearts. St Joseph knew this and was the perfect guardian of Mary and the Son of God.

Dear Lord let us all understand the greatness of St Joseph who was asked to put aside his human prejudices  and accept Mary who was with child he knew not to be his own. His "yes" complemented Mary's. May we too accept your will. 

Making use of the work of Your hands is a requirement for all living this present life on earth. We need to give praise to you for the wonders of the world and of life. We must not treat Jesus only as the "carpenters son". His life shares our humanity and so he knows our tendency to sin but leaves us covered with his Love to turn to in our human weakness. He is The Son of God.

Dear Lord let all the unholiness of man the manipulator be condemned by the Church. Let your vicar on earth be aware that he is truly the servant of the servants of God. Let him drive out the corruption of  mammon and of sin from his Vatican.
