Calling on the Saints in March
Growing up Italian in a Roman Catholic family, we celebrated the feast days of some of the saints. During March, both Saint Joseph of Nazareth (Feast day is March 19) and Saint Patrick (Feast Day is March 17) have their feast days. Let me tell you a little about them. Give yourself a moment to contemplate their lives. Ask them to help you with your life with a little prayer.
Saint Joseph of Nazareth
Saint Joseph, c. 1 –100 A.D., was the legal father of Jesus Christ and the husband of Mary, the Blessed Mother. Joseph was a widower. Joseph of Nazareth was a woodworker or carpenter by trade, possibly working in stone and metal. The term carpenter used in the Jewish tradition could indicate that Joseph was very literate in the Torah and suggests that he is a learned man.
Saint Joseph, the earthly spouse of Mother Mary, was a man of integrity. St. Joseph was the ultimate Divine Partner. When you think of all his qualities and all that he experienced, he certainly makes a good role model to emulate and follow. For example, St. Joseph obeyed the direction of an Angel of God on three occasions. He is a patron saint for husbands. If you are single and want to be in a relationship, pray and ask Saint Joseph to orchestrate bringing you and your beloved together.
I have an aromatherapy blend for Saint Joseph. Saint Joseph Spray is ideal to help you pay attention to what you are thinking regarding the safety of your home. Focus on seeing your spouse or significant other as a good protector and support in your life. Because Saint Joseph followed instructions he received from angels in his dreams, ask Saint Joseph to help your receive guidance in the dreamtime.
Petition to Saint Joseph
Oh! Saint Joseph! Help me have clarity of mind and heart while remembering dreams and visions that show me the way and the truth. Light my path so I can easily follow my dreams and realizations. Please help me to be a grounding force in the world. Thank you.
Saint Patrick
Saint Patrick, 385-462 AD, of Roman descent, was born in Scotland and considered British. His father was a deacon, and his grandfather was a priest.
Saint Patrick followed the messages and realizations he received in the dreamtime to escape slavery. Let this saint remind you to pay attention to your intuition and believe in yourself when you receive messages or guidance. Perseverance is the gift of staying power and persistence. Throughout Saint Patrick’s life, from being kidnapped into slavery to becoming a powerful Catholic missionary and eventually a bishop in Ireland, he maintained his focus to stay on course in alignment with the Divine plan. Call on this energy to help when you need tenacity and single-mindedness. Use this saint’s vibe to uncover your own mission in life.
Petition to Saint Patrick
Oh! Saint Patrick! Please help me remember my dreams and visions so I can realize and find direction in my spiritual path. Guide me to have faith and trust my intuition. Please help me to have determination and perseverance to fulfill my life purpose. Let me be an instrument for change for the betterment of all beings. Inspire me to pray and meditate. Thank you!
Remember that your petitions are always answered with faith and prayer. Let perseverance become part of your nature. Open your ears to hear the messages from within and follow clues of guidance all around you.
