General intentions:

“It is urgent to say a great prayer for life, that will surround the whole world.

Spain:
+ The Board of the City of Valencia offers discounts up to 20% to abortion minded young women that can show a Youth's card of the Valencia's Community. This same discount was being offered in the city of Andalucia and the scandal that it generated, obliged the City Board to retire this abortion offer. (http://www.hazteoir.org )

Mexico:
This extract was part of an interview to Mr. Jorge Serrano, PROVIDA, Mexico.

“Otherwise, I want to ask what has happened to the bodies of the aborted babies. Already 36.000 children have been aborted, where are their corpses? Where are their embryonic cells and the mother cells? Where are these bodies? We have claimed for them to the Chief of Government Mr. Marcelo Ebrard, in two occasions. He hasn't given us any information. The Secretary of Health of the Federal District hasn't answered either to our demand to know about these bodies. We have asked through the IFAI and have not received any answer. We have asked with cause in the # 8 article of the constitution and haven't received any information. The industry that profits with the maneuvering of embryonic cells is huge. Each embryonic cell is sold in the black market for 50 US dollars. What happens with the body of an unborn baby that has thousands of cells? They go into experimentation or to the cosmetic industry or to the industry of the embryonic tissues.”

PRAYER OF JOHN XXIII TO SAINT JOSEPH

Saint Joseph, guardian of Jesus and chaste husband of Mary, you passed your life in loving fulfillment of duty. You supported the holy family of Nazareth with the work of your hands. Kindly protect those who trustingly come to you. You know their aspirations, their hardships, their hopes. They look to you because they know you will understand and protect them. You too knew trial, labor and weariness. But amid the worries of material life, your soul was full of deep peace and sang out in true joy through intimacy with God's Son entrusted to you and with Mary, his tender Mother. Assure those you protect that they do not labor alone. Teach them to find Jesus near them and to watch over Him faithfully as you have done. Amen.

Dearest father of mine, Saint Joseph: trusting in the powerful intercession you have with the Throne of the Holy Trinity and of Mary your Wife and our Mother, I as ask of you to intercede for me and that you can get for me this grace …………… (ask for your petition here).

Joseph, with Jesus and Mary, live always in my soul
Joseph, with Jesus and Mary, be by my side in my dying bed.
Joseph, with Jesus and Mary, take my soul unto Heaven.
Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be.
