Sleep With The Saints: St. Joseph

St. Joseph is best known as the father (or foster-father) of Jesus. Did you know is also a patron saint of sleep? This meditation includes deep breathing, progressive relaxation, and a sleep story of the first time St. Joseph was visited by an angel in his dreams. Struggling with the decision of what to do with a pregnant fiancee, the angel tells him what God wants. This may also be the perfect meditation if you are facing a tough decision or preparing for Christmas.

Sleep with the Saints is my new series of saint meditations designed to help you sleep. Each saint is chosen for their associations with good sleep and dreams.

The quote from the angel is taken from The New Revised Standard Version of the Bible, Matthew 1:20-21.
