Thanks for supporting my little blog! ) A few years ago while visiting the Philippines, Pope Francis wove his love for St. Joseph into an address on prayer and family. Specifically, he spoke about a statue he has on his desk of the Sleeping St. Joseph. From the Gospels, we know that St. Joseph listened to God in his dreams and then rose to act on His will. Pope Francis shared with his audience that he asks St. Joseph to pray for his intentions by writing them down and slipping the paper under the statue of St. Joseph. This sweet devotion has been spreading slowly across the world. A dear friend was the first to introduce it to me, and I just love this new connection with one of my very favorite Saints. How comforting to think of St. Joseph caring for the Church, for us and our concerns, while resting in God. You can read the full text of Pope Francis' address here. (It is super accessible- only a couple of pages long with a theme of family and prayer, making it very readable for older kids.) There are several awesome, wisdom packed quotes from his talk that I think would be great to share with kids and adults alike: · “I have a great love for St. Joseph, because he is a man of silence and strength. On my table I have an image of St. Joseph sleeping. Even when he is asleep, he is taking care of the Church!” · “Joseph’s rest revealed God’s will to him. In this moment of rest in the Lord, as we pause from our many daily obligations and activities, God is also speaking to us.” · “But like St. Joseph, once we have heard God’s voice, we must rise from our slumber; we must get up and act.” The Solemnity of St. Joseph is coming up (observed on March 20th this year) and I am one of the teachers that helps plan the St. Joseph Day celebrations for our school, which is under the patronage of St. Joseph. You can see my other ideas for celebrating St. Joseph's Solemnity in this post. For my students, I might add this adorable St. Joseph figurine and this prayer book to our Faith Corner. We will enjoy our school's tradition of sharing St. Joseph Day Bread, we'll read my favorite St. Joseph book and the beautiful Joseph page of this book, and... we'll do some Sleeping St. Joseph activities. This year, our staff decided to introduce the kids to a new way to connect with St. Joseph by getting our own Sleeping St. Joseph statue. We are so excited to share him with the students on his feast day during an all school assembly and blessing. Sleeping St. Joseph in various picture books. Our new Sleeping St. Joseph statue was purchased by my principal, but you can find some similar options like this one or this one. Our statue will have a home on a shelf outside the school office. He will rest on a box with an opening for students and families to leave their prayer requests. I made a sign and a stack of prayer cards to leave with the statue as well. Even if you don't own a Sleeping St. Joseph statue, you still can use his image and story to help kids learn about St. Joseph's prayer and action, strength and silence. Here's an outline of my suggestions for leading children to a devotion to St. Joseph (all of these printables are at the bottom of the post). · Color the Sleeping St. Joseph coloring page and share prayer requests for St. Joseph. Talk about how St. Joseph protected and provided for the Holy Family, and how he protects and provides for the Church. · Color, fold, and tape the Sleeping St. Joseph statue to create a prayer pillow. Slide prayer requests inside the pillow. Another variation is to fold the statue like table tent so it stands up. Prayer requests can still be added inside. · Read Matthew 1:18-25, discussing how St. Joseph rested in God, listened to Him, and then acted on His instructions. · Color one of the Sleeping St. Joseph pages or Pope Francis quote pages. Discuss Pope Francis’ wisdom about St. Joseph and his role for us and the Church. · Use the Sleeping St. Joseph booklet to talk about Pope Francis’ speech and devotion to St. Joseph with the selected quote and discussion questions. Write down prayer requests for St. Joseph. · Read the stories of St. Joseph (Matthew 1:18-25 and 2:13-14) and Joseph, son of Jacob (Genesis 37, 40, and 41). Compare how God used dreams in their lives and how they responded. · Read the full text of Pope Francis’ speech and discuss his teaching on St. Joseph, prayer, and the family. Identify the virtues of St. Joseph and how we can emulate him. Your kids can make their own Sleeping St. Joseph with a place to keep their prayers. Using the same printable, I have two suggestions. We'll call one the prayer pillow (pictured above) and one the pop up statue. First, color St. Joseph: Then fold the top and bottom sections back on the dotted lines. They will overlap. Tape the length of the paper. I used colorful masking tape so that you can see it, but scotch tape will work just fine. Next tape the end of the prayer pillow closed near St. Joseph's feet: Leave the end near his head open, and slide your prayer requests inside for him to rest on and pray for: A slightly different variation creates a pop up statue. Color St. Joseph, fold back the top and bottom of the page on the dotted lines, but instead of overlapping the flaps before taping, line them up. Tape, and you have created a tri-fold that will stand on its own. Prayer requests can still be slipped inside the pop-up St. Joseph Statue. He could sit on a shelf or desk, but also could be folded flat to add to a notebook or lapbook project. I have a ton of different printables linked below. I was aiming for a variety that might help meet the needs of different ages and classrooms. I hope that something in the collection catches your eye!

Description: An amazingly crafted and carefully painted "Sleeping St. Joseph" figurine inspired by the well-renowned artist Michael Adams is Pope Francis' favorite. He brought a statue of this in Argentina to keep near his room where he writes his prayer requests to the saint on paper and puts these underneath the statue. This is a quite symbolic position of the Gospel: it was during his sleep that an angel of the Lord communicates with St. Joseph. Sometimes we need help to quiet ourselves so we can hear God's voice; help to get up, or simply feel weighed down by our troubles, let us take a moment or perhaps slip a note under his sleeping statue, near his heart and pray that through the intercession of St. Joseph, he will guide and protect us.

The human and religious history of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, the future Pope Francis, has been linked from the outset to a particular figure dear to Christians all around the world: that of St. Joseph.

Introducing our NEW Sleeping Saint Joseph Swaddle. // I first learned of the devotion to the sleeping Saint Joseph through our beloved Pope Francis 7 years ago during his trip to the Philippines. “Even when he is asleep, he looks after the Church. Yes! We know that he can do that. So, when I have a problem, a difficulty, I write a little note, and I put it underneath St. Joseph, so that he can dream about it! In other words, I tell him: Pray for this problem!” – Pope Francis. How beautifully comforting it is to know that God can work through us and for us, even as we are sleeping. One night as I was tucking my kids in for bed, I told them about this devotion, and since then he has become a big of a patron saint of bedtime and I thought how tender and soothing a sleeping Saint Joseph would be as a swaddle blanket. My hope is that when you swaddle up your baby in this blanket, you are comforted by the intercession of Saint Joseph. Through each step – from conceptualizing, to design, to holding it in my hands for the first time – I thought of your beautiful little ones, and I asked Saint Joseph to watch over them. // This swaddle is printed on 100% organic bamboo cotton. It comes in the standard swaddle size of 47×47 inches.

Beautiful white sleeping Saint Joseph statue. There is one story about the image of the "Sleeping St. Joseph" that involves Pope Francis, who brought a statuette of this image from Argentina to keep near his room at St Martha's House. It depicts the Saint dressed in gold trimmered dark green and red garments. Joseph is Lying down and asleep. This position is symbolic of the Gospel:it is always in his sleep that Jesus's adoptive father receives messages from heaven about Mary and which name the Child should take and warnings about the danger Herod Represents, causing the flight into Egypt. Pope Francis writes prayer requests to the saint on a piece of paper and puts these underneath the statue. Not only is St. Joseph is a beautiful statue to be admired, but his stone and marble composite material is strong and sturdy and compatible for indoor or outdoor use. This statue would be a wonderful addition for a daily reminder of your faith. Dimensions: 3.5"W x 1.6"D x 1.25" H Vittoria Collection Made in Italy Hand Finished
