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. (Apostolic Exhortation Redemptoris Custos, On the Person and Mission of St. Joseph in the Life of Christ and of the Church, Pope St. John Paul II, 15th August 1989)
