Prayer to St. Joseph
O St. Joseph whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the
Throne of God, I place in you all my interests and desires. O 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. O 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 us. Amen
Imprimatur Most Rev. George W. Ahr
Bishop of
Trenton
Note: This prayer is over 1900 years old, it was found in the fiftieth year of
Our Lord Jesus Christ. In the 1500's it was sent by the Pope to Emperor
Charles when he was going into battle. He said whoever reads this prayer or hears
it or carries it, will never die a sudden death, nor be drowned, nor will
poison take effect on them. They will not fall into the hands of the enemy
nor be burned in any fire, nor will they be defeated in battle. Make this
prayer known everywhere.
