Hymn to Saint Joseph with Lyrics by Dana

 

Hymn to Saint Joseph - Dana, Rosemary Scanlon

from the Our Lady of Knock Collection 1...Did you wonder where He'd lead you? Were you afraid of what the world might say? I feel you understand my fears today. I feel you standing by my side. You taught the child to be a man. A man whose life my freedom won. Yours was the shoulder that he rested on. You held my saviour in your arms Saint Joseph, pray for me That I may live my life with Jesus as you did. Saint Joseph, pray for me, That at the hour of my death He may hold me. Saint Joseph, pray for me That I may follow where the Spirit leads me. Chaste husband of a virgin wife. Wise guardian of the Bread of Life Who humbly held the Son of God Saint Joseph, pray for me 2. The little hands that played with wood The little boy that you called Son You always knew He was the chosen one Would one day hang upon a cross. Yet, you lived to do the Father's will Fearlessly followed His command. You were the loving and the gentle man He chose to guide His precious Son. Saint Joseph, pray for me That I may live my life with Jesus as you did. Saint Joseph, pray for me, That at the hour of my death He may hold me. Saint Joseph, pray for me That I may follow where the Spirit leads me. Chaste husband of a virgin wife. Wise guardian of the Bread of Life Who humbly held the Son of God Saint Joseph, pray for me ( musical interlude ) Chaste husband of a virgin wife. Wise guardian of the Bread of Life Who humbly held the Son of God Saint Joseph, pray for me

40 Days for Life Fall Campaign, 2026, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada - Praying for and end to abortion and Euthanasia

 

The 40 Days for Life campaign, to pray and fast for an end to abortion, will be taking place in Ottawa this year, starting on Wednesday, September 23 and ending on Sunday, November 1, 2026.

 

The Opening Rally, to kick off the campaign, will take place on Sunday, September 20, from 6 to 7 pm. More details will be following later. Mark your calendar with the date.

 

After I had a stroke last year, I had to step back as the leader of Ottawa 40 Days for Life. I still wanted to be part of the campaign, so I was assigned to help at the Closing Rally reception. I’m coming along – thanks to the many prayers that have been said for me – and I’ve taken on a few jobs this year that I can do from home. I’m not yet up to the challenge of driving outside my community into Ottawa and I can’t stand for very long, but I can help from home. One of the jobs I’ll be doing is communication to everyone through regular updates by email.

 

The 40 Days for Life campaign must be covered in prayer and a good way to start is with a 40-day novena to Saint Michael from August 20 to the feast day of the archangels: Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael, on September 29. Please join me in praying this novena:

 

“Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our defence against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, thrust into hell, Satan and all evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen”

 

Yours for Life,

Wanda Hartlin

In Ottawa we have been participating in this campaign since the Fall 2009

 2008 Diary of Ground Zero- 2008 Fall 2009   I kept a record of the comments of participants

On one of the days when I went Father Simon Lobo was there along with a few of the Sisters of the Queenship of Mary

Ground Zero Report - Day 10 (Part 3) - [10.03]

I arrived around 1:00 on Friday October 3 and stayed for a little over two and a half hours. During that time I prayed of course for an end to abortion in general but my heart went out to a young couple who I saw rush into the lobby of 65 Bank street while ignoring the counselor who kindly tried to give the young woman a pamphlet. I felt such a heavy heart knowing what was most probably taking place during the next two hours.

As I prayed I glanced up at the third floor and wondered where she was. Was she going through with the abortion? Maybe she would change her mind. I hoped and I prayed. I thought of the little baby whose life was about to be ended and prayed for her angel to take her to heaven and that she wouldn't feel any pain.

When they left the abortuary about 2 hours later, the young woman was very pale. They walked slowly to the MacDonald's restaurant next door and it all seemed surreal.

I have so much difficulty comprehending this ugliness that is taking place in our city. Just a short walk from Parliament Hill and amidst the hustle and bustle of the downtown tourist area, is a place where women go to have their babies killed.

There were about 8 others praying during that time. Among them were two very humble and kind sisters Teresa and Sara, from the Religious Order the Queenship of Mary and Simon Lobo a Deacon with the Companions of the Cross. Simon is currently at Saint Maurice Parish and will be ordained in May 2009. He gathered us all together for a blessing before he left the site and for this we were all truly grateful. He asked God to bestow His blessing on all of us and for all those in the place across the street . He prayed for the little souls who would die that day and for all those hurt by abortion and asked God to be with them and be merciful. I truly felt Mary and her Son's presence amidst the sorrow. Please pray for Teresa, Sara and Simon. Their presence was a Grace from God. And please never stop praying for an end to abortion. (Source) - Maureen
