Novena to Saint Joseph- Day 5
Oh, 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…. Please pray for an increase in devotion to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament of the Eucharist, and for our beloved parish that is under your patronage. (Mention your additional requests here…)
Oh, 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.
Oh, 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 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.
Say 1: Our Father…Say 1: Hail Mary…Say 1: Glory Be…
