UNFAILING PRAYER TO SAINT JOSEPH

 


MARCH 19 - Saint Joseph's Day - Solemnity of SAINT JOSEPH, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary 

HE IS HOLY JOSEPH, because according to the opinion of a great number of doctors, he, as well as St. John Baptist, was sanctified even before he was born. He is Holy Joseph, because his office, of being Spouse and Protector of Mary, specially demanded Sanctity. He is Holy Joseph, because no other Saint but he lived in such and so long intimacy and familiarity with the Source of all holiness, Jesus, God Incarnate, and Mary, the Holiest of creatures. ” 

  — St. John Henry Newman...


UNFAILING PRAYER TO SAINT JOSEPH :

" O Saint Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the throne of God, I place in you all my interest 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 of contemplating you, and Jesus asleep in your arms; I dare not approach while He reposes near your heart. Press Him close 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 me. Amen. "
