Saint Joseph

Foster Father of Our Lord

MEMORARE TO ST. JOSEPH Remember, O most pure Spouse of the Virgin Mary, Saint Joseph our beloved patron, that never was it heard that anyone invoked your protection and sought your aid without being  comforted. Inspired by this confidence, I come to you and fervently commend myself to you. Despise not my petition, dear Foster Father of our Redeemer, but accept it graciously. Amen.

PRAYER TO SAINT JOSEPH Over 1900 years old O 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. O 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 ingaged here below your heavenly power I may offer my Thanksgiving and Homage to the most Loving of Fathers. O 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.
