Ask the Prayers of the Blessed Virgin, St. Joseph, your Guardian Angel, and your Patron Saint.

HOLY Virgin, Mother of God, my Mother and Patroness, I place myself under thy protection, I throw myself with confidence into the arms of thy compassion. Be to me, O Mother of mercy, my refuge in distress, my consolation under suffering, my advocate with thy adorable Son, now and at the hour of my death.

INVOCATION TO ST. JOSEPH.

HELP us, Joseph, in our earthly strife,
  E'er to lead a pure and blameless life.

Indulgence of 300 days, once a day. — Leo XIII., March 18, 1882.

ANGEL of God, my guardian dear,
To whom His love commits me here,
Ever this day be at my side,
To light and guard, to rule and guide.
                                           Amen.


O GREAT saint whose name I bear, protect me, pray for me, that like thee I may serve God faithfully on earth, and glorify Him eternally with thee in heaven. Amen.

PRAISES TO THE WILL OF GOD.

MAY the most just, most high, most adorable will of God be in all things done, and praised, and for ever magnified.
