"For thou, O God, hast tested us;
    thou hast tried us as silver is tried." Psalm 66:10 (RSVCE)

Meditation: Lord, you are my friend. Good or bad, whatever comes, I am with you to the end.

"Come and hear, all you who fear God,
    and I will tell what he has done for me." Psalm 66:16 (RSVCE)

Meditation: Lord, I want to testify to all that you have done for me.

"Blessed be God,

    because he has not rejected my prayer

    or removed his steadfast love from me!" Psalm 66:20 (RSVCE)

Meditation: It is easy to brag about what you have done for me, Lord, but I also love you just because of who you are: a kind father who is always ready to listen to me when I tug on your shirtsleeve.

Prayer 32

Madonna in Glory¹

Most chaste Husband of Mary Immaculate, who didst merit from God the special honour to be the reputed father of Christ Jesus, innocence itself, guardian undefiled of the Virgin of virgins; obtain for me the love of Jesus, God my Saviour, and the special protection of Mary my most Holy Mother; and make it thy care, holy Joseph, my patron, protector of all chaste souls, that this virtue of holy purity, so loved by thee, may be better loved by me and by all men. Amen.<sup>63
