In his traditional May 1 st allocution to the Christian Association of Italian workers (ACLI) in 1960, he gave a priceless prayer to the Patron of Labourers. And in the prayer, he made a special mention of the intimacy in which Joseph spent his time, and indeed, performed his duty, living with Jesus and Mary:

“O Saint Joseph, guardian of Jesus, chaste Spouse of Mary, who passed your life in the perfect fulfilment of duty, sustaining the Holy Family of Nazareth, with the labour of your hands, protect kindly those who trustfully turn to you. You know their aspirations, their miseries, their hopes, and they have recourse to you because they know that they will find in you, one who will understand and protect them. You too have known trial, labour and weariness. But, even in the midst of worries of the material life, your soul was filled with profound peace, and it exulted in unerring joy through intimacy with the son of God entrusted to you, and Mary his most sweet Mother. Make those whom you protect, understand that they are not alone in their labour, but show them how to discover Jesus near them, to receive him with grace, to guard him faithfully, as you have done. And assure that in every family, in every factory, in every workshop, wherever a Christian works, all may be satisfied in Charity, in Patience, in Justice, in seeking to do well, so that abundant gifts may descend from heaven. ” (St. Joseph the worker: Pope John XXIII’s message to workers, 1960, May 1 st )
