Saint Joseph, you are the faithful protector
and intercessor of all who love and venerate you.
I have special confidence in you.
You are powerful with God
and will never abandon
your faithful servants.
I humbly invoke you
and commend myself,
with all who are dear to me,
to your intercession.
By the love you have
for Jesus and Mary,
do not abandon me during life,
and assist me at the hour of my death.
Glorious Saint Joseph,
Spouse of the Immaculate Virgin,
Foster father of Jesus Christ,
obtain for me a pure, humble
and charitable mind, and
perfect resignation to the Divine Will.
Be my guide, my father
and my model through life
that I may merit to die
as you did in the
arms of Jesus and Mary.
Loving Saint Joseph,
faithful follower of Jesus Christ,
I raise my heart to you
to implore your powerful intercession
in obtaining from the Heart of Jesus
all the graces necessary for
my spiritual and temporal welfare,
particularly the grace of a happy death,
and the special grace I now implore:
(Mention your request)
Guardian of the Word Incarnate,
I am confident that your prayers
on my behalf will be graciously
heard before the throne of God.
