Prayer to St. Joseph

Because you were the watchful guardian
Of the Holy Family, please watch over us,
Christ’s chosen offspring. Like an
alert father kindly keep from us every
taint of error or corruption. From your
place of glory on high come to aid us in
our conflict with the powers of darkness.

V. St. Joseph, whom the infant Jesus so much loved;

R. Grant us what we ask, please.
Let us pray.

Assist us, Lord, by the merits of your
foster father, St. Joseph, spouse of your
most holy Mother. May his help gain for
us what our own efforts cannot. This we
ask through you who live and reign with
God the Father in the union of the Holy
Spirit, one God, for all the ages.

Amen.
