Saint Joseph,
Watch over me. Saint Joseph, foster father of Jesus and protector of the Holy Family, guide and guard you today. As a powerful intercessor and the earthly guardian of the Redeemer, he is a steadfast shield for all who invoke his name
"O glorious Saint Joseph, foster-father and protector of Jesus Christ, to you I raise my heart and my hands to implore your powerful intercession. Take me under your fatherly solicitude, protect my steps, and help me to grow in grace and holiness. Watch over me at all times, but especially at the hour of my death. Amen."
Terror of Demons: His pure righteousness strikes fear into evil forces.
Pillar of Families: He safeguards homes from discord, harm, and danger.
Diligent Protector of Christ: The guardian trusted by God to save the Child Jesus from deadly peril.
Solace of the Wretched: A compassionate fatherly figure when life feels completely overwhelming.
Oh Saint 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 Saint 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 loving of fathers. Oh Saint 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. Saint Joseph, patron of departing souls, pray for us. Amen.
Glorious Saint Joseph, model of all who are devoted to labor, obtain for me the grace to work in the spirit of penance for the expiation of my many sins; to work conscientiously, putting the devotion to duty above my special inclinations; to work with thankfulness and joy, deeming it an honor to employ and develop by labor the gifts received from God; to work with order, peace, moderation, and patience, without ever shrinking from weariness and difficulties. Amen.
Saint Joseph, foster father of Jesus, pray for us. Amen.
