Prayer
Prayer to St. Joseph
Oh, St. Joseph, whose protection is so great,
so strong, so prompt before the throne of God,
I place in you all my interest 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 me.
This prayer was found in the fiftieth year of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
In 1505 it was sent from the Pope to Emperor Charles when he was going into battle.
Whoever shall read this prayer or bear it or keep it about themselves,
shall never die a sudden death, or be drowned, nor shall poison take effect on them;
neither shall they fall into the hands of the enemy, or shall be burned in any fire
or shall be overpowered in battle.
Say for nine mornings for anything you may desire.
It has never been known to fail, so be sure you really want what you ask.
