Loving God,

You entrusted your Son Jesus to the parental care of Saints Mary and Joseph. They helped Jesus grow in age, wisdom, and grace as he moved from adolescence to adulthood. Through the intercession of St. Mary and St. Joseph, teach me, Lord, how to prepare for my interview with peace of mind and heart. Send forth the gifts of your Holy Spirit 鈥� wisdom, understanding, fortitude 鈥� to guide my words and actions today. And let all that I do and say, be for the greater glory and praise of your holy name.

Amen.

鈥� Rev. Joe Simmons, S.J.
