Joseph most obedient, pray for us.
Joseph most faithful,
Mirror of patience,
Lover of poverty.
Model of workers,
Ornament of domestic life,
Protector of virgins.
Pillar of families,
Consolation of the afflicted,
Hope of the sick,
Patron of the dying.
Terror of the demons.
Protector of holy Church,
Lamb of God, Who takest away the sins of the world,
- Spare us, O Lord!
Lamb of God, Who takest away the sins of the world,
- Graciously hear us, O Lord!
Lamb of God, Who takest away the sins of the world.
- Have mercy on us, O Lord!
V. He made him master of his house:
R. And ruler of all his possessions.
Let us pray
O God, who in Thy ineffable Providence didst vouchsafe to choose blessed Joseph to be the spouse of Thy most holy Mother: grant, we beseech Thee, that we may have him whom we venerate as our protector on earth, as our intercessor in heaven. Who livest and reignest world without end. Amen.
Indulgence of 300 days, applicable to the souls in purgatory. — Pius X, March 18, 1909.
