Saint
Joseph, you are the faithful protector and intercessor of all who
love and venerate you. You know that I have confidence in you and
that, after Jesus and Mary, I come to you as an example for holiness,
for you are especially close with God. Therefore, I humbly commend
myself, with all who are dear to me and all that belong to me, to
your intercession. I beg of you, by your love for Jesus and Mary,
not to abandon me during life and to assist me at the hour of my
death.
Glorious
Saint Joseph, spouse of the Immaculate Virgin, pray for me to have a
pure, humble, charitable mind, and perfect resignation to the divine
Will. Be my guide, my father, and my model through life that I may 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
Divine 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 intention)
Guardian
of the Word Incarnate, I feel confident that your prayers on my
behalf will be graciously heard before the throne of God. Saint Joseph Most Just, Pray for us!
Amen.
Glory
be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in
the beginning,
is now and ever shall be, world without end.
Amen.
