All fatherhood in heaven and on earth has its origin in God. Let us turn to him and pray:
Our Father in heaven, hear our prayer.
All-holy Father, you revealed to Saint Joseph your eternal plan of salvation in Christ,
— deepen our understanding of your Son, true God and true man.
Our Father in heaven, hear our prayer.
Father in heaven, you feed the birds of the air, and clothe the fields with the fruit of the earth,
— give all your children their daily bread, to sustain soul and body.
Our Father in heaven, hear our prayer.
Maker of the universe, you have entrusted your creation to our safekeeping,
— may all who work receive a just reward for their labors.
Our Father in heaven, hear our prayer.
God of all righteousness, you want us all to be like you,
— may Saint Joseph inspire us to walk always in your way of holiness.
Our Father in heaven, hear our prayer.
Look kindly on the dying and the dead, and grant them your mercy,
— through the intercession of Jesus, Mary and Joseph.
Our Father in heaven, hear our prayer.

Act of Spiritual Communion
If you are unable to physically receive Holy Communion, especially in the midst of the pandemic, make a solemn recitation of this Prayer for Spiritual Communion by Saint Alphonsus Maria de Liguori.
In celebration of the 5th Anniversary of The Best Catholic, I decided to discuss this particular topic, which I have not written about before—my Catholic perspective on singleness and finding a spouse. My Reflection offers a list of my advice to Catholic women on what to do while waiting for a spouse, and pointers to consider in defining what a “good man” is. Whether you are a single woman looking for a husband, or you know someone who is, I assure you that you will learn so much from this one of a kind Honest Guide that I wrote in the light of the Catholic Faith.
Our aim is to help Catholics strengthen their spiritual life, deepen their understanding of the faith, and intensify their holiness by catechesis and a variety of Catholic information.
TheBestCatholic.com aspires to be an instrument of evangelization.We are all pilgrims of the earth, striving towards salvation.It is our fervent prayer that by God’s grace, we will be “The Best Catholic” we can ever become.
