Collect for Feast of Saint Joseph Cupertino

O God, You ordained that Your only-begotten Son

should be lifted up above the earth

and draw all things to Himself;

mercifully grant that,

through the merits and example of Your seraphic confessor Joseph,

we may be lifted up above all earthly desires

and be found worthy to come to Him, who being God,

lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

for ever and ever.

Amen.
