Prayer
Prayer of Pope Pius X to St. Joseph
O Glorious St. Joseph, model of all
who are devoted to labor, obtain for
me the grace to work in the spirit of
penance in expiation of my many sins;
to work conscientiously by placing
love of duty above my inclinations; to
gratefully and joyously deem it an
honor to employ and to develop by
labor the gifts I have received from
God, to work methodically,
peacefully, and in moderation and
patience, without ever shrinking
from it through weariness or difficulty
to work; above all, with purity of
intention and unselfishness, having
unceasingly before my eyes death and
the account I have to render of time
lost, talents unused, good not done,
and vain complacency in success, so
baneful to the work of God.
All for
Jesus, all for Mary, all to imitate thee,
O Patriarch St. Joseph! This shall be
my motto for life and eternity.
Amen.
(Indulgence, 500 days.)
