Opening Prayer
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.
Prayer for Virtue
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 die as you did in the arms of Jesus and Mary.
Prayer of Petition
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 request]
Guardian of the Word Incarnate,
I feel confident that your prayers on my behalf
will be graciously heard before the throne of God
St. Joseph Most Just, Pray for us!
Amen.
Glory Be
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.
