Prayer to St. Joseph

Remember, O most illustrious Patriarch Saint Joseph, on the testimony of Saint Teresa, your devoted servant, never has it been heard that anyone who has invoked your protection or sought your mediation has not obtained relief.

In this confidence I come before you, my loving protector, chaste Spouse of Mary, foster father of the Saviour of men and dispenser of the treasures of His Sacred Heart.

Despise not my earnest prayer, but graciously hear and obtain my petition.

Let us pray:O God, who by your ineffable Providence chose blessed Joseph for the spouse of your most holy mother; grant that he whom we venerate as our protector on earth may be our intercessor in heaven. Amen.
