God our Lord, who raised up Joseph the carpenter to be the guardian of your incarnate son: give us grace to follow Him in faithful obedience to your commands; help us, strengthened by His example, to count the wisdom of the world as foolishness, and to walk with Him in simplicity and trust; through Jesus Christ your son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
