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.
This
Prayer to St. Joseph is over 1900 years old. It was found in the
fiftieth year of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Say
9 consecutive mornings for anything you may desire. It was
seldom been known to fail.
In
the 1500s, it was sent by the Pope to Emperor Charles when he was
going into battle.
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,
not will they be defeated in battle.
Make
this prayer known everywhere.
Imprimatur
(Most Rev. George W. Ahr, Bishop of Trenton)
