Following the activities framed within the Year of Saint Joseph, convened by Pope Francis with the apostolic letter Patris Corde<\/em><\/a>, where the Holy Father reminds us of the 150th anniversary of the declaration of Saint Joseph as Patron of the Universal Church and, therefore, declared that the year 2021 be dedicated to him.<\/p>\n

This is how the Magdala team in Israel took on the task of setting to music the prayer that the Pontiff wrote at the end of his apostolic letter.<\/p>\n

The information portal Vatican News<\/a>, in the presentation of the apostolic letter<\/a>, commented that it is a prayer that, for more than forty years, the Holy Father recites daily to the husband of Mary \u201ctaken from a French devotional book from the 19th century, from the Congregation of the Religious of Jesus and Mary.” This is a prayer that “expresses devotion and trust” to the putative Father of Jesus, but it is also “a certain challenge,” explains the Pope, because it ends with the words: \u201cMay it not be said that I have invoked you in vain; show me that your goodness is as great as your power.”<\/p>\n

The music was performed by the Spaniards Luis Meseguer Mira (composer) and Cristina Messanet (performer).<\/p>\n
