Prayer to St.
Joseph for Assistance
O glorious St.
Joseph, you were chosen by God to be the foster father of Jesus, the most pure
spouse of Mary ever Virgin, and the head of the holy family. You have been
chosen by Christ's Vicar as the heavenly patron and protector of the Church
founded by Christ. Therefore it is with great confidence that I implore your
powerful assistance for the whole Church on earth. Protect in a special manner,
with true fatherly love, the Pope and all bishops and priests in communion with
the See of Peter. Be the protector of all who labor for souls amid the trials
and tribulations of this life, and grant that all peoples of the world may
follow Christ and the Church He founded.
Dear St. Joseph,
accept the offering of myself which I now make to you. I dedicate myself to your
service, that you may ever be my father, my protector, and my guide in the way
of salvation. Obtain for me great purity of heart and a fervent love for the
spiritual life. May all my actions, after your example, be directed to the
greater glory of God, in union with the divine Heart of Jesus, the immaculate
heart of Mary, and your own paternal heart.
Finally, pray for
me that I may share in the peace and joy of your holy death.
