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 most loving of fathers.
(Here, ask favor)
Oh, Saint Joseph, I never weary of 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
