Saint Joseph Decenary

Glorious Saint Joseph, husband of Mary, grant us your paternal protection, as we implore you through the Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

O you, whose power extends to all our needs and who knows how to make the most impossible things possible, open your father's eyes to the interests of your children.

In the shame and sorrow we present to you, we turn to you with confidence; Please deign to take up this important and difficult matter, the cause of our concern, for your charitable conduct. May its happy outcome become the glory of God and the good of his devoted servants.

Oh, you who have never been invoked in vain, beloved Saint Joseph!, you, whose credit is so powerful before God that we could say: 'in heaven, Joseph rather commands, not begs', tender father, pray for us Jesus, pray for us Mary.

Be our advocate with this divine son whose adoptive father was so attentive, so loved, faithful and protective. Be our advocate with Mary, to whom you were a loving and tenderly beloved husband. Add to all your glories that of winning the difficult cause that we entrust to you.

We believe, yes, we believe that you can grant our wishes, freeing us from the sorrows that overwhelm us and the bitterness that fills our soul; We also have the firm confidence that you will neglect nothing in favor of the afflicted who implore you.

Humbly prostrate at your feet, good Saint Joseph, we implore you, have mercy on our groans and our tears; Cover us with the mantle of your mercy and bless us.

Saint Joseph, thank you!
