Prayer to St. Joseph
O Thou head of the house of
God upon earth, in faithful
imitation of Jesus and Mary,
I place myself and all my concerns
under thy care and protection.
Forsake me not.
Adopt me as a little
one in your household.
Watch over me at all times,
but especially in the
last awful hour of my life on earth;
then visit, console and strengthen
me with them, and thee,
that I may praise the Adorable
Trinity.
Dear St. Joseph, receive me for thy
client, instruct me in every doubt,
comfort me in every affliction,
defend and protect me
in the hour of my death.
Amen.

Catholics look to St. Joseph as a model of faithful fatherhood, quiet strength, protection, and devotion to Jesus and Mary.
This prayer places one’s life and concerns under his care and asks him to remain close through doubt, affliction, daily responsibilities, and the final hour of life.
