Saint Joseph Freinademetz
“I find myself completely alone in the midst of a completely non-Christian people.
Finally I see fulfilled the ideal of which I had dreamed in my youth.
Praised be to God!
But what am I to do?
How am I to organize things?
Where am I to begin?
O my God, you do the building because on my own I would build in vain.
Keep watch, Lord, otherwise I will keep watch in vain.
Yes, Lord, I love you!
Let’s get down to work.” (St. Joseph Freinademetz)
God, Father of Love, together with the Holy Spirit you sent St. Joseph to proclaim the Gospel to all peoples.
We ask that his example continue to inspire us today, so that through his intercessions all nations might come to know and recognize the great love you have for each one of us. We ask this through Jesus Christ your Son, and our friend and Lord. Amen.
Saint Joseph of Shandong, pray for us!
