Prayer reads:
"Prayer for Fatherhood
Eternal God, originator of Fatherhood, I offer to you the blessed office of Father. May the men who occupy this dignified place protect and care for their children and wives with valiant honesty, heroic chastity, noble humility, and stern sobriety.
Ignite a fire in the hearts of men, O God, so that they may respond to the Divine call to fatherhood, both natural and spiritual, and model themselves after the holy example of Blessed Joseph, Father of the Universal Church.
Through his intercession, may fathers be strengthened to flee from sin, subdue their flesh, wrestle with the powers of corruption, banish the darkness, and obtain victory over hell and its agents.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, sanctifier of all men, to the glory of God the Father.
Amen."

| | | Saint Joseph Guardian of Sons - Standard Gold Framed Art
Our image of St. Joseph Guardian of Sons is a depth-filled painting about fatherhood, the life of St. Joseph, and Christ as God-Man. This painting was made by Melchior Paul von Deschwanden, a Swiss artist, in the 19th century. A tender and contemplative St. Joseph - the foster father of Jesus - is depicted with the Christ child resting on his lap. Jesus is petting an ewe, foreshadowing his sacrifice as the "Lamb of God," and St. John the Baptist, pictured as a young boy holding a cross with the "Agnus Dei" proclamation, kneels and devotedly kisses Christ's foot. With forehead scrunched in contemplation, the tender foster father of God takes in the scene, presumably contemplating the great sacrifice that his Son will make and the Divinity of his child. A rod of lilies points to his great purity and the legend of how he was chosen to be the spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and the axe next to him points to the hard work and labor he accomplished for his family throughout his life. The scene takes place in the clouds, a place of heavenly contemplation. As an altarpiece, von Deschwanden's piece rests in Kastelruth, Italy.
This image comes as a fine art print under premium clear glass in a classic gold frame. Handcrafted in Steubenville, Ohio, this touching devotional piece is sure to be treasured for years to come! St. Joseph, pray for us!

| | | Spanish Vilnius Divine Mercy Tie
Sport your faith with our exclusive Spanish Vilnius Divine Mercy tie! Each glossy poly satin neck tie measures 3.5" x 56" and is perfect for businesses, graduations, Father's Day, birthdays, and any other special occasion!
On a black-speckled background, the original image of Divine Mercy by Vilnius is printed on this tie. Reproduced from the Lithuanian original, this is the very image commissioned by St. Faustina Kowalska's own spiritual director. It is said that, when Sr. Faustina came to view the direction and progress of the painting, she wept over how poorly conveyed Jesus' beauty was in comparison with the visions she had experienced. Our Lord assured her in subsequent visions that it was not in the artist's brush that the power of this image would be evident, but in the work it would do within the souls of those who venerated it. Notable among Divine Mercy images for being the most faithful to St. Faustina's visions in a variety of ways, this image has experienced a renaissance of sorts in recent years, and may indeed overtake the "Hyla" image as the most popular Divine Mercy depiction in the United States today.
Share your devotion to Divine Mercy, remind yourself to ask for God's mercy, or give as a gift to the man in your life who is drawn to Divine Mercy!
