Prayer to St. Joseph — Over 1900 Years Old
Oh St. Joseph whose protection is
so great, so strong, so prompt before
the Throne of God, I place in you all
my interests and desires.
Oh St. Joseph do assist me by your
powerful intercession and obtain for
me from your Divine Son all
spiritual blessings through Jesus
Christ. Our Lord; so that having
engaged here below your heavenly
power I may offer my Thanksgiving
and Homage to the most Loving of
Fathers.
Oh St. Joseph. I never weary
contemplating you and Jesus asleep
in your arms ...
I dare not approach while He
reposes near your heart.
Press him in my name and kiss His
fine Head for me, and ask Him to
return the Kiss when I draw my
dying breath. St. Joseph, Patron of
departing souls, pray for us.
Amen.
